My GGGG Grandfather who lived to 102 was a wagon driver at Braddock’s Defeat during the French Indian War, escaping with his life with George Washington. During the Revolution he was among the Over-the-Mountain Men who fought at Kings Mountain SC.

That is interesting. Some of the gravestones in my family’s cemetery are so covered with algae and worn that you can barely make them out.
