So, it turns out that my 8th great-grandfather is William Edward Drummond, executed for treason for his support of Bacon's Rebellion. At least gramps had a lake named after him.

I think one of my ancestors also lost his life in that aftermath of that rebellion. I'd have to dig around a bit...

Bacons getting too expensive. Johnsonville sausages are my favorites.
Of course this thread was turned from armed uprising to eating. It shows something about us, more or less.

Well I guess I no longer have to hide this porky now from you.
(FWIW, I'm trying to avoid a Trump reference here.)The "Great Dismal Swamp", I love that. Sounds like the setting for a chapter in a Douglas Adams novel.
Ironically - if that's the right word - Drummond's great-granddaughter married my 5th great-grandfather, who was likewise executed for treason. Sometimes genealogy isn't kind.
Having treason in your blood might make you a bit revolting.(FWIW, I'm trying to avoid a Trump reference here.)
