I decided to check my database for any ancestors, including collaterals, whose birthday was on 4th July, after the War of Independence. I was surprised to find only two. But they are ancestors, and perhaps their descendants may find this intereresting! Both are in my Kuhn line, which goes back to the original settler from Wurrtemberg, John Kuhn. He and his wife, Anna Barbara Adams, arrived in Pennsylvania in 1732 with their 3 sons and 1 daughter. Our line follows their second son, John George Kuhn & Catherine Riffel.
