Melanie McCombFor my American friends, Happy Independence Day!
Do you have any patriotic ancestors who showed their loyalty to the American cause during the American Revolution? This doesn't necessarily mean fighting in the war!

Benjamin Franklin is my 1st cousin 8 times removed - his mother, Abiah Folger was the sister to my 7th great grandmother, Experience Folger. Ben's grandparents (Peter Folger & Mary Morrell) were my 8th great grandparents. I also have a few direct Revolutionary ancestors but Ben is my coolest find.
