the author of '1776' was interviewed by Brit Hume.
Yes, that was a great interview. I love history and
glad to hear this on TV for a change.
A few of my 5th great grandfathers actually saw
George Washington, one came down from New England
when Washington laied the cornerstone of the capitol.
It was a Masonic ceremony and the apron my 5th great
grandfather wore that day with GW is still in
the family.
Genealogy is great! My dad was born and raised literally down the road from where Washington was born. I have not established a family connection and don't think there is one with Washington, but Robert E. Lee is a 5th cousin 5 times removed to me thru my grandmother. Our family tree branches also include presidents Madison (Dolley too), both Harrisons, both Bushes and Nixon.
