Both of them chuckled when I speculated that they may qualify for Daughters of the American Revolution membership. Ol' Bloody definitely has descendants...you might check the Sothoby's site. I read that other decendants of Tarelton were going to auction off the captured American battle flags he had. Alas, Jane & Alex not close enough relatives to share in the loot. The flags can be seen under his foot in the portrait.

Banastre did have 5 siblings, so I assume Jane is a decendant of one of those? The battle flags were sold by
"Captain Christopher Tarleton Fagan,...who is Ban Tarleton's 4-x-great nephew". He said they had become too expensive to insure. They went for $17.4 million! That would have been nice to share in.
That's funny about the Daughters of the American Revolution
. I wonder what they would say to that application.
Here's one more photo from Cowpens. This is taken from the initial British Cavalry position looking towards the Patriot lines. The first Patriot line would have probably been a few yards behind the copse of trees in the center of the photo stretching from the right end of the copse to the left and across the Broad River Road, also visible. The Patriot Cavalry would have swooped in from the right causing havoc amongst the British.
