That is such a good looking hat! Congratulations on finding your connection to the American Revolution! I have Revolutionary war veterans on both parents side. A fifth great grandfather served with Benjamin Bellows New Hampshire Militia. He was at Ticonderoga and Saratoga, under Horatio Gates. Also another 5th great grandfather with the Virginia Militia. I find this period of history fascinating.I am quite proud to be home on the day my mother found the evidence necessary to prove my father’s heritage back to the American Revolution. My great great great great great (?) grandfather fought in a North Carolina militia unit. Online records show him at the Battle of King’s Mountain but there is a ton of inaccurate information out there on this ancestor so we’re not certain yet.
My mother’s side should also go back so far but we have still to find the smoking gun.
To celebrate I wore my new-to-me 3X Stetson out on a commissary run here on the U.S. Army base where my folks live. This photo is actually from yesterday but I wore exactly the same outfit today.
