Ruth, I THINK this society was made up of members who fought with George Washington in the Revolution.

It's part of the same families that are connected with those in "Early Alabama Settlers". The name Cinncinatus - many of the men in these families belonged to the "Society Cinncinatus" - a Rev War Soldier's society, that I'd like to find out more about. I've looked to see if I couldn't find a roster to this Society - but, haven't found one yet. The Judge is too young to be a member of this society - but, his father might have been. - Ruth in Portland, OR ----- Original Message ----- From: "John R.
