I don’t remember how many or even who they were, but I know that one of my ancestors on my dad’s side of the family fought in the Revolutionary War. I only know that because his family researched it, and he became a member of Sons of the American Revolution.
Somewhere I have the documentation he pulled together and submitted to the SAR, which tells who that person was, how they came to the (pre)US, etc. I think it mentions some other relatives too. (I’d like to find it.)
I don’t know about any other branches of my dad’s family, or my mother’s family, but I know they were all living here before 1900. That’s as far back as I know for sure.
As a child, I was a member of the CAR, Children of the American Revolution. One day I’ll unpack all of my mother’s boxes to find the historical records.
