My GGGGG++ grandfather was Colonel Joshua Fry, born 1770, died 1754. At the time he died, he was the commanding officer of George Washington in Virginia. He died in a horse accident and Washington took over the command. Very interesting man. I just learned about this six months ago.

A bunch of other notables followed him, too, including another ancestor who was Lincoln's best friend, Joshua Fry Speed.

sorry about the double post. Something glitched.

Cool. But I think you might have the birth and death dates reversed. :)
