Thank you Linda, My husband's gr grandfather, Isaac DEAVES was a private it "The Lafayette Blues", a volunteer militia group that answered the call of the govenor of Pnnsylvania, to help quell the Riots of 1844. He was read out of the Quaker Meeting for this military service. And now, thanks to you, we know all about those riots. Mary D.
