Lots of Germans in the ancestors. Names dating back to the revolutionary war. One spied on the relatives in the Huesen camp for George W. Family legend says they stole the white horse that Tully painted GW riding and stampeded the others in corral. Both in that generation signed the BRadford Accord that the Declaration of Indepence was modeled after!
May have been poor German dirt farmer, but they sure knew how to get things done! Their granddaughter. Married a TRUMPF from the area of Germany they came from.
