The final draft of the Declaration of Independence was approved 250 years ago today. Happy Birthday, America! I've listed some of my ancestors who were patriots in the American Revolution. All of my ancestors that I have identified so far who were living during that time were all already living in the colonies by 1776. I have provided a bit more on Wm Harrison as he is my most recently discovered ancestor who took part in the American Revolution. He was at the battles of Germantown and Brandywine which were losses for the patriots. That had to be rough. Thankful for all of their sacrifices.
I've linked those ancestors who have a descendant who has joined DAR thru a line of descent from them.[Note: this is not a complete listing]
