#OTD 18 April 1840, Philip Fry, 83, a Revolutionary War veteran, died near Huntsville, Alabama. During the war, he had married his first wife in Shenandoah County, Virginia. My 4th-great-grandparents moved to Tennessee some years after the end of the war and then later moved south into Alabama. There Philip remarried after the death of his first wife. At his death he was survived by his second wife, 19 of his 25 children, and over 100 grandchildren and great-grandchildren. I have many DNA cousins through Philip.

https://scrappinmyhistory.blogspot.com/2014/11/52-ancestors-in-52-weeks-46-philip-fry.html@bethroots I have a similar story:
Othniel Young, 1758-1846 was my 5th great- grandfather. He was born in Smithfield, Rhode Island, USA and died in Burrillville, Rhode Island, ten miles away. Six generations later, my father was born sixteen miles from Smithfield, in Providence. What I found in military records was his pension application from August 7, 1832, made when he was seventy-four years old, for his service during the American #RevolutionaryWar. His file contained pages of detail about his enlistment, where he served, in which battles, under which officers. It was mostly facts, without any color to the words, but there it was in long hand, pages of his own account, signed by him, and the testimony of others, including officers still living. It contained correspondence with his descendants, who asked the War Office about him; his name, his dates, the details of his service. Other people like me, descended from him, who were curious about their ancestor...
