Omg.
I haven't been able to really verify this info myself, but if it's true, then I am very excited!
It's very possible that I have a great grandfather (sixth to be exact) that was a Rev. War Hero!!
I mean this guy is so famous that he's on Wikipedia! Seriously! And apparently he knew George Washington and he's portrayed in some painting with them crossing the river in a boat. And then he served in the first continental congress.
This is so cool! I'm definitely going to do more research, but it's very possible this is true...he's from Isle of Wight and it appears I have a lot of family from there. It's like they came from England and they all seemed to settle in that area.
Well...back to researching :) You know, history is fun when you can relate to it!
