(Wish I knew if his wife had died by then.) Another was banished for drilling with the militia at the time of the French and Indian Wars and later served in the Revolution as a private, along with four others who were a Colonel, 2nd Lieutenant, member of the Committee of Safety and a Letters of Marque privateer, some of them being descended from the Friends who established the local meeting which still exists. <br /><br />Tracing ancestors is great fun - you never know what you're going to discover!"<br />Diane L Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06263795778666487820noreply@blogger.com
