Happy Fourth of July!!!

Happy Fourth of July, 2010!! 

I'm taking a moment to remember and honor my Revolutionary War ancestor: the Rev. Jeremiah Duvall who was buried at the Duvall Cemetery in Bedford County, Pennsylvania. 

If you have a Revolutionary War ancestor, today is a great day to post a memorial on Find A Grave for him, or add a note to his memorial if is already posted.
