Day 76 Friday October 4
We drove a long time, but with Judy at the wheel we reached Easthampton and home at 10:30. Although long, it was a beautiful drive through the mountains of Pennsylvania and New York where many of the leaves have turned. On the way we stopped in Wyoming, PA to visit the monument to the Revolutionary Battle of Wyoming where Bill's great-great-great-great grandfather Nicolas Manvil lost his life. He left a widow and six children. The more greats you put in front of a person's name, the more descendants they have! Or, the other way around, if you count your great-great-great-great ancestors, you have a lot of them. In the past two days we have visited four of Bill's ancestors in that category: three grandfathers and an uncle, all of whom fought in the Revolution. We enjoyed a fine dinner with the Truckenmillers in Johnstown, NY before deciding to finish this big journey by coming on HOME. It is a beautiful sight.
