I have to admit that although it's exciting and intriguing to discover my roots, connecting this family to that, reading the stories, wills, census ... it's also very frustrating. I get going on a name that looks promising, the dates and places seem to line up perfectly, then nothing. Either there are no records to be found for a particular name or the rest of the family at some point doesn't line up.
I'm bound and determined to get to the bottom of the mystery surrounding Jesse and Samuel, though it's starting to look like it'll probably take the rest of my life. Oh well, everyone needs a project, right?
Recently I've been re-reading all the documentation I can find on them during the American Revolution. I'm taking note of the people they served with, their neighbors, anything that looks like it might tell me something more than what I have. Still nothing.
It's a good thing I'm patient!
