Hi everyone, since this is my first post here I thought I should make it on this board.
One ancestor I am doing research on is John Cunningham, who was born in Northern Ireland around 1747. He was a linen draper. The story goes that his father sent him to North America to avoid his being drafted by King George, and he landed in NJ/NY and ended up fighting in the American Revolution on the side of the states. He then married Rebecca Taylor (possibly born in NJ but that's a guess) and in 1809 died in German Flatts, Herkimer, NY. I have no information on his parents, or his wife's parents, so that's mainly what I'm looking for, but any and all info would be great. The info I have comes from an old Sons of the American Revolution application.
Thanks for any help you can give.
Frank
