My Irish 6th great grandfather was a fur trapper and ran a trading post up the Mohawk River...he was also in the Provincial Army...He died fighting the French and Indians at Lake George, NY 1755..
as one of the “Yankee Doodle Dandies” because of his Leatherstocking costume, I always think of him as looking like Daniel Day-Lewis..
