This is not solely for Germanna - this gentleman, Robin Yeager, is seeking descendants of Mosby's Rangers from all over. IF you do have a relative or ancestor who was a Germanna descendant and a part of Mosby's Rangers, the Germanna group wants to capture that info, as well. I just happened to have contact with Mr. yeager (and asked if I could pass on this info) as he wrote me privately. Personally, I am related to BOWENs who were in the Rangers. PLEASE - if anyone has a connection to a Mosby Ranger, you should use the contact info I forwarded to reach my Yeager - I am sure he would be happy to have the information. He is NOT on this mail list. Thanks!
