My Ancestor Sketches for the 250th Anniversary of the American Revolution

 

The Lexington Minuteman

Earlier this year I posted sketches of the military service of my Revolutionary War ancestors.  There were thirteen patriots, one Loyalist ancestor and one Loyalist relative. These blog posts were very well recieved and read by thousands on the internet.  I thought I would summarize all the posts here in one list, so you could see if you missed one, or perhaps if you think you might have a cousin connection!
