February 4 Genealogy Club

We had a large crowd Tuesday evening to listen to Sandi and Bill Wilson as they re-enacted their ancestors living in Kentucky during the time of the Revolutionary War. They brought many replicas of utensils and items used at that time, and two original powder horns passed down in their respective families. They told the tale of their ancestors meeting and traveling to the Ohio River valley area of Kentucky. Following the program Bill showed how the flintlock was used and they answered questions from the group. If you were unable to attend, you missed a great presentation.
