My first Revolutionary Soldier

I may have found my first American Revolutionary soldier. My great grandfather is Lewis Leachman, his mother is Pauline Lewis, her father is John Lewis and his father is Richard Lewis. Supposedly Richard Lewis was the soldier. I haven't quite confirmed all this so we'll see.

Don't forget the Spangler side. Jacob's great-grandfather Joseph Spangler was a Major in the Pennsylvania militia during the revolution.

If you are looking to join the DAR they had copies of other peoples applications at the Decatur Genealogical Society & Library HTTP://www.rootsweb.com/~ildecgs/
that show Jacob's father, Jacob SR. and his relationship to Joseph. You can use previously accepted applications as proof for the generations covered by it, saving you some work.
