Sorry,
My x5 Great Grandfather served with George Washington at Valley Forge as he was one of the officers who took the oath at the Valley.We bear the same name today.
My x5 Great Grandfather,
Good for your 5x Great Grandfather.
Glad to know he served with mine, a Captain of the PA militia, and his 3 brothers, and their father a Virginian and one of Washington's Generals.
We bear the same name today.
As does my family.
Unfortuately, one's ancestory is no palative for one's capacity for delusional positions, nor a recommendation of the right or wrongness of the causes that one may become aligned with.
"Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclination, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence."
--John Adams
