My husband and I moved back to Florida, and he passed away five years ago. I live in a quaint and beautiful little town called New Smyrna Beach, FL. My mother's ancestors came here in in 1768 with Andrew Turnbull for his agriculture venture.
I love Florida for the climate, and I have many relatives still here. Research into my family history made me aware that their unique circumstances in the building of this nation during it's birthpangs is a fascinating collection of factual experiences that should be shared with Colonial History enthusiastists. Their experiences as indentured slaves during the pre-revolutionary war , Seminole war and Civil War in primative costal Florida is like a roller-coaster ride in adventure. Hostile Indians and runaway slaves, wilderness survival, political and international intrique, are all interwoven in a titilating tale of romance and endurance if brave Mediterranean pioneers. Read "Mosquito Colony" and ride through history!view less
