ONE THING LEADS TO ANOTHER...

Last September I published a blogpost about a death certificate I'd found
on FamilySearch  that I thought might help me find who the parents of
my 3xgreat grandmother Lucy Stow(Stowe) were, which led to a comment
from cousin Chris Dunham who told me Lucy's parents were Melvin Stowe
and Anne V Stowe. He also gave me the names of Melvin Stowe's parents,
Samuel Stowe and Abigail Dana. I added the information to my tree, researched
for and found some records citations, and moved back in both lines a few
generations.

Then the other day, Bill Smith posted a link on Facebook to an article on
past economic Panics and Depressions in American history....

...which gave me the idea for a blogpost....

...which lead me to checking the dates some of my ancestors took a
certain step....

...which then lead me to check and see if there were any other ancestors
who had taken this action that I might not have been aware of yet...

...which lead me to Footnotes....er...Fold3 where I discovered
that 5x great grandfather  Samuel Stowe had filed his Revolutionary
War pension application upon which he states he was also a veteran
of the French and Indian War...

...which means that Bill Smith's link has given me not one but two blogposts
(or three, if you count this one!)
