My own life and my opinions are shared at When I was 69.

REMEMBER: In North America, the month of September 1752 was exceptionally short, skipping 11 days, when the Gregorian Calendar was adapted from the old Julian one, which didn't have leap year days.

Thomas Welborn's part in the Regulators in NC

 2 documents,
Regulator of NC( reinactment by modern man)
One was signed by my ancestor Thomas Welbourn, a petition to the governor, much as other colonists were writing 7-8 years before the Revolution.

The second had been wirtten following the Regulator's conflict with the governor, when some of the colonists were being hanged.  This document had signatures requesting that Thomas Welbourn's good status as a citizen give him a pardon by the governor.

And on another subject, another ancestor's birthday is Feb. 7.
Happy Birthday to my great great grandfather, George Washington Rogers, husband of Luci Gibbs Rogers (of the family we've been talking about this last week!)   George W. Rogers was born in 1820, and died too early in 1864, being one of the early pioneers to Texas from Tennessee.
