Some extend as far back as Roman and Biblical times. On his mother's side, they are mostly German and lead back to the 1600s. Regardless of where they came from, they were hard working American families and fought in most every war that came along; the Revolutionary War, Civil War, War of 1812, WW1 and WW2. Included in this volume are pictures of family members, tombstones, and stories about what it was like to live as a Quaker in Revolutionary times. Enjoy the journey!
