Treasurer’s Report: Current balance is $2,431.67.
In the absence of a speaker, Kelly Davis was kind enough to speak about is revolutionary ancestor, Col. William Crawford. Crawford was a veteran of the French & Indians War and a close friend to George Washington. At War’s end, Crawford led an expedition of PA & VA militia to Sandusky, OH in an effort to stop Indian depredation on the frontier. The militia army was routed by a superior force made up of English troops and Indian tribes still loyal to the crown.
The retreat of militia forces proved chaotic with Crawford captured and tortured to death. Kelly’s presentation was warmly received.
Old Business: The chapter will be dark (no meeting) for July, August & September.
