It is only fitting to have a post on Revolutionary War Soldiers on the Fourth of July!  My computer with all my pictures and files has died – but hopefully will be resuscitated with the help of my son-in-law!  Otherwise I would post photos from Pisgah Presbyterian Church Cemetery in Woodford County, Kentucky, where quite a few soldiers are buried.  But we will leave that for a later date!  Enjoy your holiday!
