Back in the day, my paternal line fought in the Rev War
(at least some did). Others were Tories and hightailed it to Canada.
You want stories, I got stories! ;-).
Mine, too, but do not have the stories. Tories and Patriots.
I love the stories. Love to hear them.
Did the FamilyTree DNA and came back a quarter Ashkenazi jewish, which was a shock. Still trying to figure out one grandmother’s background since she had stories but no firm parentage. Uncle remembered them getting tickets to the Wild West Show opening at Soldiers Field when he was little and Lucille Mulhall, for whom the word “cowgirl” was invented, riding up on a horse to chat. Grandmother said she was her half-sister but not getting that out of the DNA. Got other illegitimate offspring to give me their DNA so it’s been a fun, if frustrating, search. Wonderful stories of grandmother raised on a ranch in Butte MT with rough vocabularied cowhands and an old Indian “chief” she’d visit in her pony cart.
Stories of the glories and mores of the Tories?
