I think every genealogist dreams of finding an ancestor that was alive during such a historically significant event as the Revolutionary War (1775 - 1782). I haven't yet found proof of the part that my King ancestors may have played in the events that took place during this critical time period in our country's history, I would like to share some of the documents that i have found thus far.
