Hi everyone!
Sorry to start another thread of messages so close to a Surname Shout Out
but with the lists being down the first part of the year it threw my
scheduling off. Hope you don't mind...
With this being the Memorial Day Weekend, I thought it would it be
interesting to post one ancestor we have in our family trees who served in
one of the many wars and battles we fought in US History. Obviously it has
to be an ancestor from this county. :)
Give a brief biography of that person including the unit and war he or she
was in, a POW, injuries, plus the usual genealogical stuff.
Thanks in advance and have a safe weekend!
