My (6X) great grandfather was a member of the Honor Guard for Lincoln's funeral as it passed through Philadelphia.
Probably on the one for Grant too.

My (6X) great grandfather was a member of the Honor Guard for Lincoln's funeral as it passed through Philadelphia.

My mother (born in 1923, now deceased) told about her uncle Bob (born in 1855) who as a boy, claims he climbed a telegraph pole to watch Lincoln’s funeral procession as it passed through Buffalo NY. We once saw a picture in the local historical museum with photos of the event - we did see a shadowy small figure on a telegraph pole in the crowd. Was it him? We like to think so!

I think that is way to many "X"s.

My Great Grandfather fought in the War Between the States.   I have his photograph right here over my desk.   My GGGGF and my GGGGGFs both fought in the Revolutionary War at The Battles of Guilford Courthouse and Kings Mountain.
