Below are names of ancestors, and their siblings, who I know served in the armed forces of their nation. I am including my Loyalist ancestors; their nation was Great Britain. The United States didn't exist yet. I am including my Confederate ancestors too, despite their desire to form a separate nation. I would include Revolutionary ancestors if I found some. I also include my great uncle, Mandell Newmark, who was killed in action, as today is also Remembrance Day in the United Kingdom and a few other nations.

It would seem that we are cousins as Michael Showers is also my 5th Great Grandfather. I descend through his daughter, Magdelene married to Charles Depew.
Contact me through the contact information on my sidebar and we can exchange information we have on the Showers line.
