I also had ancestors living in Virginia in Louden County and in Pennsylvania in the 1700s. It is really fascinating for me to think about all the things they must have been part of at that time. I wish I could have known more about them and all they were going through. I’m looking forward to Glenn Beck’s new book about George Washington.

Books worth reading: "Our Founding Mothers" by Cokie Roberts "Benjamin Franklin, in his own words" this is the best I have read so far. This man was not only had a Brilliant mind, but was humerous as well. Reminded me of Mark Twain humor, and the wit and ability to speak as Newt does.

A family had a home next to Geo. Washington's Mt Vernon, and Geo. wrote about them in his diaries. I have nothing handed down from that era, and only was able to find things via genealogy work, then it opened up in history books.

I love those histories, wouldn't want to have lived at that time, plenty rough, but it makes you appreciate what they did for us. Thanks for sharing your history.

Mind were in Fairfax, Prince Wm. Counties for the most part.
