Display case dedicated to my R.W. ancestor

All, just completed the display case appearing in the picture below. It is the result of 1 1/2 years of genealogy, history, and metal detecting. The description at the top says it all.

Lenrac2, yes that part blows my mind. Some believe he also served in the French & Indian War, but I have yet to verify. I a trip it would be to meet him in person.

Very Nice work on the Display Case and the History to go along with the case. Your Patriot Ancestor would be proud to know that he has ancestors living today that care enough about his personal life exploits and our American History. Congrat's

devldog, thanks! My ultimate goal is to have a monument erected to him in a cemetery not far from where he lived and where his daughter and her family are buried. Until then I've got this case. If something happens to me I'll have my Executor donate it to the local historical society or the Ohio History Connection.

Time permitting I'd like to re-visit the valley where I think he lived in the late fall and search some more.

Renner, thanks for the kudos and welcome to Tnet! The history, at least to the best of my knowledge, makes the contents of the display case my best find to date (metal detecting 50+ years off & on).
