Happy 4th of July 🇺🇸!! On this day, I always reflect on my ancestors that served in the Revolutionary War. My 7th great grandfather, Samuel Whitney, served as a Captain in the Continental Army. His sons: Samuel Whitney Jr, Captain Peter Whitney (served in the US Navy), Levi Whitney (captured and starved, then died a day after his release from the British), and Walter Whitney. I am proud of these men and the sacrifices they and their families made to serve our country, which gained freedom for our nation, and set us on the path to democracy. Let freedom ring! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

I grew up in this area and traveled back and forth between these two towns for decades! It is amazing to see the stage coach road back in 1907. I wonder how long it took to travel from Quincy to Greenville back then.

Fun Photo Friday!
