I recently found a beautiful old walnut victorian rocker that someone had put 
on the trashpile. Under four layers of old upholstery material, I discovered a 
small piece of paper. The paper is glued on the chair and says, "Purchased in 
Charleston by Mary B Gaston for Cedar Shoals Plantation." The chair has the 
Roman numeral VII and the letter "W" carved underneath. I am looking for any 
information on Mary B Gaston and/or Cedar Shoals Plantation. Also, if anyone 
can shed any light on the carving of the Roman numeral on the furniture, I 
would appreciate your comments. Thanks.
