Revolutionary War Grandfathers: 250th Anniversary Celebration

In honor of the 250th anniversary of the United States, Revolutionary War Grandfathers gathers the stories of ancestral fathers whose lives were drawn into the struggle for American independence. Some marched with militia companies, some served in the Continental cause, some guarded stores, roads, frontiers, and homes, and others supported the Revolution in quieter but no less meaningful ways. Their records are sometimes clear, sometimes fragmentary, and sometimes no more than a name preserved in a town history, pension file, family genealogy, or weathered graveyard memory.This book is both a tribute and a search. It honors those whose service can be traced, while remembering the many whose stories could not be fully told. Across these pages, family memory and historical evidence meet in a work of gratitude, caution, and remembrance—one small offering to the long story of a nation born through sacrifice, courage, and hope.
