When you live in the past, as I do, many of the interesting events happened in war. My new Spot Writers Page will feature short glimpses of my family history, but a different family and a different war.
1777 involved my Hamilton family, who seem to have wised up by the Civil War and remained as far away as they could get.
The Trowbridges went in for that event whole hog.
In 1777, the only Trowbridge mentioned (John) is away at war while his tavern forms a mancave for rebels. Many Trowbridges to come would live in Danbury and were always ready to support their colony or state, or whatever skirmish came along ...
All you have to do is know a little bit of what happened ....
Then you do a little research....
Then welcome to 1863!
