Family marks grave of Revolutionary War hero
Sunday, October 3

The General Arthur St. Clair chapter of the Pennsylvania Society Sons of the American Revolution is helping ancestors of Revolutionary War soldiers pay tribute through official dedications of gravesite markers. The ancestors of patriot John Adams Sr. will hold a service at the Poke Run Presbyterian Church Cemetery in Washington Township at 1 p.m. on Saturday.

Another discovered a relationship to Martin Luther King, and still others found family connections to Presidents and other familiar characters in history.
