Richard Lord Howe and Mary Lady Howe, a pair of paintings by Thomas Gainsborough circa 1763. Richard was 37. Mary was 31. The painting of Richard is not the one we usually see, which was painted by John Singleton Copley in 1794 when Richard was a 68 year old admiral.

Dec 1780 Daniel Morgan wrote Thomas Sumter's followers from camp on the Pacolet River in SC regarding the lack of food supplies. Sumter refused to subjugate to Morgan in any way although Nathanael Greene issued orders that he was to do so. I'm certain Morgan wanted to slap Sumter

No laughing at me because a lot of you already new this I'm sure. 😲I just learned while reading "White Devil" that John Stark of Rev War fame served as a lieutenant under Robert Rogers during the French & Indian War in Colonel Joseph Blanchard's New Hampshire Regiment.

My birthday is today so I've been off SM. I returned to join GW & his guys--Greene, Sullivan, Wayne, Stephen, Smallwood, Stirling, Knox, Laurens, Hamilton, etc--as they march in 3 separate columns toward Germantown, PA to attack the British post there #OTD 1777.
