Ah, militiamen — a favorite subject. I have three ancestors who served in the militia during the Revolution. Without the militia, we’d have remained British subjects.

I don’t know much about my Scots/Irish side, but the other side of my family fought with the loyalists in the Revolution...They were wearing breachclouts and carrying tomahawks...I am part Ani-Yun-Wiya (Tsalagi) or Cherokee to white folks... :0)
