There are at least two legends of who owned the boat and rowed Washington across the Delaware. One was that a guy named Mershon owned the boat and the other was a guy named Hussong. They are both in my family so either way I am proud of this county and my heritage.

Merry Christmas and God Bless America.

LOVE that story, mountainlion. Bet that really made studying the history of the period a lot more fun! A very Happy Christmas to you and yours.
