1. Glad that my ancestor, John Proctor, left that area.

His Westmoreland County battalion's Revolutionary War flag is now the official flag for that county.





I cringe at the thought of MAGAts there waving that flag during their public displays of insanity!


It's ironic that Col. John Proctor left for Northern KY, to live with a son, after he supposedly lost his land in Westmoreland County for not having a deed! Another man later filed for a deed of the same land, and that was that.

He was the first sheriff of that county, so such an oversight is very odd! On the other hand, there were no land deeds when he first settled there prior to the county's formation.

Edit:
"Made in the fall of 1775, it is the only surviving rattlesnake flag from the American Revolution."
