I’ve been doing some genealogy lately…and Memorial Day seemed like a good day to bring this up. I’ve discovered that one branch of the family tree has quite the history. One relative came over with William Penn in 1683 and was there when he signed the treaty with the Indians. Fast forward to his grandson who had a Revolutionary War skirmish called ‘Pyle’s Massacre’ named after him. He later went on to meet George Washington and give him British secrets that helped the colonists win at Yorktown. A few generations down the line I found that WW2 Pulitzer Prize winning photojournalist Ernie Pyle is a relative.
