Nana, we have been here for almost 400 years, you skulked off to NZ, fear? I don't think so.

A side from that my Great Grandmother was a Maxwell Boarderer from Scotland, when they got hungry they threw the sword's on the table and said to their husbands “Get Food”.

These Butlers Rangers: Wilkpedia.

The Rangers were accused of participating in — or at least failing to prevent — the Wyoming Valley massacre of July 1778 and the Cherry Valley massacre of November 1778 of white settlers (including some Loyalists) by Joseph Brant’s Iroquois. These actions earned the Rangers a reputation for exceptional savagery. They fought principally in western New York and Pennsylvania, but ranged as far west as Ohio and Michigan and as far south as Virginia.

How sad that the men in your family were such poor providers that the women ruled.
Oh, and they weren’t mormons.
