As you travel through time, enjoy the family history of a very active military past. We all should be proud of the service the joining families have given over the generations.  

Family history goes back the Revolutionary War...

The Declaration of Independence 1776

1777 Articles of Confederation 

1780

A bond to provide horses for George Washington’s Army. Dated August 21, 1780 and issued by Lancaster County issued to Michael Breitenback of the Township of Lebenon for “one black Mare four years old Forteen Hands high for a wagon which has been appraised by two freeholders, on aframation at the Sum of Twenty Nein Pounds 8 pence…” Washington’s Army was in dire need of horses and these bonds were issued to the owners of horses who both willingly and unwillingly saw their horses march off to war. A very rare piece of Revolutionary history.
