I just got a photo of the original house built by Minor Winn I in Virginia. It has an addition built by Minor Winn II. I'd love to see a portrait of Richard. Are there any of his other soldier brothers, John, William and Minor III?

We went out and bought a fireproof safe largest they had at Home depot [200.00] and put all my genealogy "can't replace" items in there.... then we got a exterior hard drive that you just plug in and copied my whole C drive on my computer so not to loose anything and put it in the safe too. But my larger items I couldn't put in the safe [like my seventh ggfather's 1710 rifle, all my books] so it went in the trunk of my car that was left in the driveway in my backyard that is security fenced [so if house burned maybe car wouldn't?] ..... I would hope that everyone would have a fire proof safe to put things in like we did [passports birth certificates etc.].
