Part two of my series on my visit last fall to Newburgh and New Windsor, New York to see where my ancestor, Abner Poland (1761 - 1835) of Essex, Massachusetts, had recieved the Badge of Merit from General George Washington.

Did your ancestor or relative receive a Purple Heart, or a Badge of Merit during the American Revolution? https://nutfieldgenealogy.blogspot.com/2025/03/the-national-purple-heart-hall-of-honor.html
