My 7th Great Grandfather, came to New Hampshire around 1707. He was one of the first to sign the "Association Test" as a precursor to the Declaration of Independence for New Hampshire.
His son, my 6th Great Grandfather, and a grandson were 2 of approximately 20 people to participate in the Pine Tree Rebellion. Some historians believe this act of defiance inspired the Boston Tea Party.

New Hampshire's state motto is LIVE FREE OF DIE.

To see a state like that be anything resembling leftist is a shame.

Dude that is some awesome family history!!! My ancestors came from Ireland during the French and Indian Wars fought for the French up in Canada. Was a captured and ended up escaping. Went back to Ireland. Then came back in the early 1800s. Always loved NH history. Studied the 5th NH Volunteer Regiment that fought in the Civil War. They made it all the way to Gettysburg and got slaughtered in the wheat fields unfortunately.
