*  Phinehas Brigham (1755-1802) of Westborough, Massachusetts.

Amazingly, each of them survived their wartime experiences.

One relative who didn't survive was my 5th great-granduncle Asahel Read (1753-1775) who died at Lexington in April 1775.

I thank God for these men, for the families that nurtured them, for the wives and parents that supported them, and for the children who learned from them the importance of service to their country.

Thank you, gentlemen soldiers, and your families, for your service and your bravery.  I wish that I had known you.  You've provided me with a wonderful ancestry, and I greatly appreciate it every day.
