So according to the plaque at the library and a genealogy website, the first settler in our county was a man who built a cabin here to live in with his wife, eight children, and seven slaves.

This is disturbing to me. Aside from the obvious general badness of owning slaves, what the heck kind of simple cabin life do you live that requires seven slaves?

Also, during the Civil War his wife and eldest daughter together sewed the first Confederate flag to fly in the county. I should be surprised by that. But I'm not.

  I read this as "So according to the plague in the library" and prepared myself for something entirely different than what I would end up reading.

  Not specifically about the slaves, but I guess they just like showing off their heritage. It's an interesting historical tidbit, I guess. It puts our county in perspective to realize almost half of the first people to come here did so against their will.
