Doesn’t sound like any of my ancestors but I noticed the name Custiss. Wasn’t that name associated with Washington and Lee, tho I think spelled with one “S”.
Look again. That says Curtiss. And look at the area. Sarahs names are all from New Hampshire and New York. George and Martha Washington and the Lees were from VA. I still think it is a good thing that she knows all that history. It's obvious that she has patriotic blood running in her veins.
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.
