I am also proud of my American Heritage and recently joined the Point Vicente (Palos Verdes ) Chapter of the California Society of Daughters of the American Revolution . My grandmother had traced our family lineage back to Governor William Bradford, Governor of the Plymouth Colony who was on the original trip of the Mayflower to the New World. My ancestor who fought in the Revolutionary War was Israel Ballard.
My husband Bruce also had a direct ancestor (Robert Megowan) who was quartermaster at Valley Forge under General Washington during the Revolutionary War.
