Ancestors

Guess what.

Robert E. Lee is my third cousin 7 times removed. Don't worry, that doesn't make me a racist.

Also, my great x 10 Grandpa (on my mom's dad's side) was Reverend Charles Grymes and was born in Ightham, Kent, England in 1612 and immigrated to Gloucester County, Virginia in 1644. This is less than 40 years after the John Smith arrived there and all the shenanigans with Pocahontas went down.

So, to sum everything up, my family pretty much started the U.S. of A.
