This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/wNHBAIB/2984.2 Message Board Post: The statements I've seen have to do with comments made by Roderick's grandchildren citing the source as Roderick's children; i.e., my father told me that my grandfather served under George Washington in the Revolutionary War. So far as I know (I have been following Roderick and his descendancy for about 10 years and have been a member of this board since its inception) no proof of Roderick having served in the military or aiding the Revolution in any way has ever been found (or at least not circulated).
