United States of America / Best Place for Revolutionary War Records
« on: Tuesday 16 June 20 06:20 BST (UK) »
Hello! So, I am doing some research into my ancestry and our participation in the Revolutionary War. I have traced back to two of my ancestors, my 7th great grandfathers Israel McBee and Captain Daniel Huddleston. The more I dig the more fascinating these two seem to get to read up on and I was curious if anyone had additional resources or databases you'd recommend for tracking records and stories on colonial ancestors. Apparently Israel McBee was one of the only Revolutionary veterans to also live to see the beginning of the Civil War, dying at the age of 110. I found one record that stated Captain Daniel Huddleston served under President Washington and reported to John Adams as well, working as a Captain of a ship in the colonials Navy. I would love to learn more about these stories if I can -- just don't know where to start beyond googling the names. Thank you again!
