One of my Great Grandfathers was an Anglo-Scotch Soldier in the Continental Army from North Carolina. He did well enough to earn a Land Grant in Tennessee, and ever since we've settled Texas, Alabama, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, etc. I'll never forget what he fought for.

My seventh great grandfather fought against the redcoats under the command of Col.Casey of the South Carolina regiment. He was later caught as a prisoner of war and executed by the Tories. His sacrifice was a example of the colonial soldiers and volunteers who laid down their lives for our freedom as Americans.

Sucked for both sides, and they didn't even win in the end. We're talking about 1/3rd of the whole population.

My 6* great-grandfather Jacob Frey was in Selin’s Rifle Company, part of von Ottendorf’s Independent Corps serving the Continental Line. He enlisted at the age of 16 or 17 in 1777. One source said he may have been a fifer. He died in 1851 at the age of 90 or 91.

Also funny people seem to think this is somehow "American music". No, Britain used drummers, fifers, and bagpipes in their armies. All militaries did, it was the only way to transfer commands on a battlefield back then. The Continentals were just adopting the same system everyone else used already. Although some specific songs came into wide use that hadn't been before. They didn't "invent" fife and drum music though.
