For those who say “so what”, you are right it is only chit chat. But, I only have 2 ancestors who fought in the Rev. War, so I thought 25 was quite a few.
For those who are interested in researching family in the Rev. War, the Daughters of the American Revolution recently opened up their online database to the public. See it here:

and read some from this page:

Happy hunting
Great websites, thanks for posting, I located my wife’s American Revolution ancestor out of N.C.
I don’t believe it is a “so what”. I think it shows that someone cares enough about themselves and their family’s contributions to our country. Just the fact you spent time to look it up says a lot. I never have. The first person carrying my family name came in 1790, but I never thought to look how I was link to the revolution through marriages.
