The search has begun for my husband’s Revolutionary War
ancestors. When the research is complete, I expect four Patriots in my husband
maternal line. The surnames that I will be searching for are Cox, Potts, Adams
and Cundiff. Ancestry.com has
given me the base from which I will start my research. Several S.A.R. and
D.A.R. applications are available for viewing on Ancestry.com.
I must connect each generation to the previous one. I plan I
gathering birth and death certificates for the most recent generations and then
work my way back in time. My research strategy is to begin with what is known
and work from there beginning with the Cox/Pott line.
I made a quick Descendant Chart and will work from it to
build my case. I believe that William Potts and General James Cox are my
husband’s the fourth and fifth great grandparents. Here is the chart.
I am off to the safety deposit box for a copy of my husband's birth certificate. Then I must call his mother and ask for her birth certificate. That is the easy part of the research! Wish me luck with the rest!
