I have at least 3 on my mom’s side who served in the Maryland militia. My mom’s family came over in the early 1700s. They were latecomers compared to my dad’s side which came over in 1649. I have at least one that I know of who served in the North Carolina militia and fought in the battle of Guilford’s Courthouse. I have a written account from him someone wrote down in 1830 when he was an old man. I’m sure there are more on my dad’s side but the record is a little hazy prior to my 4X Great Grandfather who was born in 1776 in Virginia.
Not having ancestors back too far, I just adopt everyone I learn about, every good guy anyway! Lol
Very convenient....AND AMERICAN!!!
Proudly, and most humbly.
