Sullivan commanded the 5000 men sent by Washington to rescue upstate NY from the British Army and its Iroquois allies. Many of Robert Rogers' brothers served in the Rangers; Richard died of smallpox in the siege of Fort William Henry, James followed Robert into the Loyalist forces and later founded a township in Canada, John served in GA against the Cherokees, and Daniel may have been a Ranger in the British assault on Cuba. Fraunces' Tavern was the site of Washington's Farewell to the Troops. Wedgwood's pattern and distinctive blue color are a staple of American chinaware to this day. PS Dysentery is pronounced DIS-en-ter-y. Margaret is usually pronounced MAR-gret.
Very cool. Thanks for sharing.
