also what about the American Revolution when the rebels burnt down another ancestors house in the Susquehanna River Valley, Pennsylvania and confiscated his land and drove off his wife and little children who had to flee for their lives ???
and also the ancestor in NY along the Mohawk River...Herkimer County...a widow of a hero of the Battle of Lake George who was put in prison along with her family some young children..A trading post burnt down, house and land confiscated...
and the 1812 War...
My ancestor, a widow had her house burnt down in St Davids, Ontario by the invading Americans July 1814...They didnt find the grist mill and saw mill out on the edge of town..
Wheres mine ???
I should clean up with all this lose...
My family probably threw the torch, in NY anyway. Proud descendant of NY Revolutionary and War of 1812 Veterans, kicked limey ass!
