		<description><![CDATA[Two years ago at "Blogsome Genealogy" I wrote the story of Private Henry PEYTON of Barboursville, Virginia who twice had his credit for Revolutionary War service voided. In the first case he fought for reinstatement until the U.S. Congress passed the bill pictured above. The second case was recently by the Daughters of the American Revolution and then it was member Cynthia Vance who came to the rescue of her ancestor by submitting papers to reopen his lineage. She did this by submitting the above U.S. Congress Bill HR 1150 from 1839, with her lineage papers. I received the following comments and press release from Keith Vance: "I have composed the following for press release and would appreciate your comments, changes or additions. Your book helped support the application tremendously."<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=patriots.wordpress.com&blog=37557&post=586&subd=patriots&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[During Barack Obama's tenure as America's President, women of the DAR, many of whom voted for Obama as Senator and President, volunteered more than 60,000 hours to veteran patients, awarded over $150,000 in scholarships to American students, and supported schools for the underprivileged with donations exceeding one million dollars.

While America's President was not interested in the efforts of the Daughters of the American Revolution to remember America's "heritage" and the sacrifices of their patriotic ancestors of the Revolution, Barack Obama spoke to the Russians of their "timeless heritage" with these exact words from The White House Official Web Site:<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=patriots.wordpress.com&blog=37557&post=533&subd=patriots&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the face of all of that, they addressed their words to the "Delegates &#38; Senators, Representatives of the Common Wealth of Virginia at the City of Williamsburg" stating "in consequence of our having thrown off our dependence on the Crown &#38; Parliament of Great Britain." They closed by ardently wishing that the new Virginia "Commonwealth may become the envy of the Nations &#38; the Glory of the World." I count these men as Patriots of the Revolution because, if the Rebels had lost the fight, as it indeed appeared they would, and England successfully stopped the rebellion, they would have been considered traitors and suffered consequences.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=patriots.wordpress.com&blog=37557&post=488&subd=patriots&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Our colonial ancestors were protesting the raising of taxes without representation when they stopped purchasing and drinking British tea. When the brave Bostonians of so long ago, participated in their Boston Tea Party, there was no such thing as a “Tea Bag” anywhere in the world. One method of shipping tea to colonial America was to pack the dried leaves into heavy, compressed, baked bricks, as illustrated above, tightly packed in wooden crates. This protected the tea leaves from mildew and dampness during the long months at sea and in storage.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=patriots.wordpress.com&blog=37557&post=471&subd=patriots&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When Americans of today think about the history of equality, equal protection and equal civil rights, their thoughts are dominated by the history of desegregation, the Fourteenth Amendment, and the antislavery debates of the 1830s. However, long before the slavery debate, Virginians were debating different standards of equality regarding religious diversity. In eighteenth-century Virginia, there was one church rule, and in those days, the church was the law as the head of the church was the British monarch. These discussions and petitions and desires for religious freedom by rank and file Virginians had much to do with fomenting the American Revolution.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=patriots.wordpress.com&blog=37557&post=453&subd=patriots&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is the John Paul Jones House on Caroline Street in Fredericksburg, Virginia. The photograph was made between 1910 and 1915, when the building was occupied by Gately's Groceries. The old photograph is from the collection of the Library of Congress. This was the only home in America of John Paul Jones, an American Revolutionary War hero and father of the United States Navy. His most famous words were "I have not yet begun to fight!" Today, the John Paul Jones home serves as a "Seafarers Coffee House." Fredericksblogger has a photograph of the way it is today.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=patriots.wordpress.com&blog=37557&post=435&subd=patriots&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On December 17th, General Washington ordered 600 of his forces, mostly untrained men and boys from nearby towns augmented by two companies of Virginia soldiers, to cross the Delaware River and march via Moorestown to Mount Holly, New Jersey.  At Mount Holly the rebels set up a few "3-pounder" artillery pieces on Iron Works Hill, causing the Hessian commanders at Black Horse and Bordentown to believe they were being opposed by 3,000 men. By Christmas Eve, Washington's plan had lured 2,000 Hessians to the The Mount in Mount Holly, to engage the supposed "thousands" of rebel forces occupying Iron Works Hill. Then at nighttime, while the Hessians were making merry, indulging in the confiscated contents of a local brewery, the Americans stealthily evacuated their positions and marched to Moorestown. On December 26, Washington's army was able to wax victorious at the Battle of Trenton, capturing 1,000 prisoners. Part of that victory by the Americans is attributed to Washington's plan a week earlier at the Battle of Iron Works Hill.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=patriots.wordpress.com&blog=37557&post=417&subd=patriots&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The church was used as a field hospital during the Battle of Monmouth, June 28th, 1778, when wounded soldiers were carried to the church where members of the congregation tended them. The battle was so near that walls of the church are riddled with holes from cannonballs. The pews still bear scars of the surgeon's saw and bloodstains of the wounded and dying. Many of those Revolutionary War soldiers who died at the hospital are buried in the cemetery, along with British soldiers. There are antique cannons on the grounds. An active congregation continues worshipping at the Old Tennent Church.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=patriots.wordpress.com&blog=37557&post=405&subd=patriots&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It took many patriots and muskets to defend the bridge and prevent the crossing of the Hessians over Assunpink Creek, at the Second Battle of Trenton, during the American War for Independence. In January 1777, south of Trenton, New Jersey, George Washington’s Continental Army and local militias, held a defensive line along the south shore of Assunpink Creek, stretching from the mouth of the creek up to Philip’s Mill. The rebels repelled several charges by British and Hessian soldiers across the stone bridge over the creek, and also repelled an attempt by the enemy to ford the creek near its mouth.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=patriots.wordpress.com&blog=37557&post=388&subd=patriots&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
