GenFriends Genealogy Chat Show: The Story of Private John Pumphrey with Guest Allison Peacock

In this episode of GenFriends, the panel Melissa Barker,  Laura Hedgecock, and I  welcome Allison Peacock from FHD Forensics  who tells us about the remarkable story of Private John Pumphrey of the 7th Maryland Regiment, a Revolutionary War soldier whose identity was lost to history for generations. 

Watch as we learn how careful research, historical records, and modern forensic science worked together to restore his name and honor his service.

Do you have Revolutionary War ancestors?
