Speaker:Gerry Miller The Road to Saratoga Our speaker for the May meeting will be Gerry Miller. Gerald "gerry" Miller, a member of the Battle Born Patriots Chapter of Northern Nevada and a dual member of the Sacramento Chapter, Sons of the American Revolution, will reflect on his trip with his lovely wife Charlotte, and other SAR members to the heart of the American Revolution. The SAR sponsored trip "...generally followed the 1777 route of British Gen. John Burgoyne from Quebec City to his defeat at Saratoga at the hands of Patriots under the command of Gen. Horatio Gates and ended with a patriotic celebration in Albany, the unachieved objective of Burgoyne." gerry's patriot ancestor was Joseph Blatchley, served under Captain Rueben Schofield in the 9th Regiment Connecticut Militia. He donated a portion of his farmland to the Militia for a Parade Ground and served in the opposition of Tryon's attack upon New Haven Ct.; the storming of Stoney Point New York and in Sullivan's Indian Raid. We look forward to visiting with gerry and Charlotte and sharing his many images.
