i was honestly SHOCKED when i found this out through ancestry. all because i was informed that oliver wolcott, one of the fellas who signed the american declaration of independence, was one of my distant cousins. and when i checked to see HOW we were related, ancestry informed me that i am a direct descendant of the churchill line 🥹 no wonder i’ve been yearning to join the household cavalry as an officer for YEARS, my 10th great grandfather was the cavalier colonel ✨✨ #history #ancestry #genealogy #historyoflondon #churchill
