My grandfather, Ernest (George's son), could not collect Social Security
until he could prove his age.In the 40's he hired someone to do
extensive research into his ancestors.They traced it back prior to the
revolutionary war.One of his ancestors fought in this war.Another
one was shot by one of Cantrell's gang in Kansas around the time of the
civil war.
