War of Independence
The Revolutionary War, or the War of Independence, as some call it, played a big role in several of our ancestors’ lives. Below is the list of those who served, though I am sure there were many more whose service was lost to time, fires and memories. Records show that some fought in the Battles of Bunkerhill, Lexington, Saratoga and Concord in the early parts of the war. Other records show some still fighting at the end, in the Battle of Yorktown and the surrender of Cornwallis.
