It is cool. The General wrote about them in his diaries, over to dine with him, fox hunting, etc. One was Invited to his funeral, that is a wow for me.

Knowing this through genealogy has been a help for my grandchildren in their school work.

I love reading about those times, and wonder if I could have made it. Guess I would if I were there, but I doubt that I would ever have left ENGLAND, no sir, not getting on that Mayflower, send me a card. rofl.

Of course it’s a wow for you. Darn right. That kind of thing and the research does appeal to me. I’m starting to do a little digging myself.

You know, the option to come to the new world in the day, was appealing to folks who were experiencing difficulties and particularly governmental institutionalized religious intolerance.

If you were down on your luck, the New World looked like a path to freedom. I’ll bet you would have done well under those circumstances.
