Unfortunately no just his ability to dance

Ran across this while researching my ancestry. Phillip Meroney is my 7th Great Grandfather

Timeline: 1781, June 25: Frederick County, Maryland; Muster Roll of Frederick Troops:
Captain John Ross Key (Father of Francis Scott Key), Phillip Meroney, Cornet (equivalent to today's 2nd LT). John R. Key's plantation was Terra Rubra (Red Land)near Pipe Creek, then in Frederick County, Maryland-now Carroll county,western Maryland.

A great great great however far back uncle I believe was one of the judges in the witch trials in Salem.

My grandfather was one of the founders of Hi Records in Memphis (Al Green probably being one of their most notable singers). He also wrote a song that The Beatles later recorded. It was not one of their "hits" but cool nonetheless.

going further back, our family has been traced back to William the Conqueror (The Norman Conquest of England), although, when you're going back 1000 years, I'm sure a LOT of people could be traced to him, so probably not all that uncommon.

I have and Aunt and Uncle that have covered most all of the groundwork which is interesting.

Jane Monroe Chancellor was the only paternal aunt of Pres. James Monroe so when you visit Ashlawn Highland (Monroe's home near Monticello) and tell them Jane Monroe Chancellor is your what, 8th great grandmother, or whatever she is they will hand you a several page genealogy report. James Monroe also had a law office in Fredericksburg and I think the home he grew up in is still there though we didn't have time to see it.

My dad has done years of extensive research and traveled all over the U.S. tracing our family tree. most interesting =
Related to Abraham Lincoln, Daniel Boone, and some guy who signed the Constitution. (His name slips my mind)

Have a ancestor that fought in the civil war. He was my great grandfather x3 .The odd thing is, he has a granddaughter that is younger than me. I am 55 years old ,she is 53 .Try the math on that one.

John and Charles Wesley-founders of the Methodist Church.Actually got to go to a Wesley reunion one time that was unlike any family reunion I ever seen.It was inna place like a Colosseum.

John Wilkes Booth is my relative...cant remember what tho. Dude looked just like my Grandpa.

Descendent of Anthony Verdel, he served under General Lafayette in the Revolutionary War. After the war he was awarded 5,000 acres in GA for his service to the new nation.

Casper Branner of Virginia , he and his sons fought in the Revolutionary War. One of his descendents and my very distant cousin John Casper Branner was the second president of Stanford University.

Prolly several horse thieves on those branches too.

Ya'll know we're going to find someone we're related to on here!

Chief Knock a homa was a friend of my daddy's third cousin once removed.

My cousin had done this for years. She's traced way back to the 100s in Europe. Done the DNA thing and all.

Have a Cherokee chief and a hanged witch

Candler, the Coke guy. He didn't even leave me a bottle cap.
Pat Dye
And a grandfather that disappeared from the face of the earth along with all of his records. I think he lived around Hagler in Bibb County, but it may have been around Duncanville in Tuscaloosa County. Joe Boyd.

I know a guy who does this for past time. He's one of the people who documents the grave yards and post pictures of the head stones.

I'm related to Bill from Aldeer

"The last full measure"

GG grandfather John Boley Lewis, 42nd Alabama Infantry, Company K "Bull Mountain Invincibles" Confederate Army.
GG grandfather Chess Jeffreys, 16th Alabama Infantry, Company G Confederate Army. He was a color bearer for the 16th colors at the battle of Shiloh, him and his brother was killed at Shiloh on the first day of fighting.

Was the Flowers man killed in the charge up little round top or in another location?

Davy Crockett is my straight back grand daddy. We didn't get crap from Disney. Still wish we could trade mark his name every time I ride thru Tennessee.

I think my dad is pretty interesting. Sniper at LZ X-Ray in Ia Drang Valley in '65, the "We Were Soldiers" battle. Generation before him were all liquor makers in Virginia. They made apple brandy rather than white liquor. Generation before that had a preacher in the mix somewhere. Dad did a little reading on the Campbells and I think they were bad dudes in Scotland. Cut your throat while you're sleeping or stuff like that.
On my mom's side, her mother was a Cooley as in Cooley Cemetery near Guntersville. Half of Marshall County kin to the Cooleys. Some of the Cooleys were in Civil War.
