Kitty Oppenheimer, who was the wife of J Robert Oppenheimer, family lived in Pittsburgh not far from John Koch's Westinghouse family. She was friends with Lana Stalin who was Joseph Stalin's daughter who lived with the Kaufmanns in Pittsburgh. The Westinghouse family lived on Churchhill Road next to the Westinghouse Research Center. John Koch's father-in-law was the main welder to the Fat Man Bomb built at the Westinghouse building near Turtle Creek.. It was said the Westinghouse's also built Edgewood Country Club on Churchill Road and with the Tuffs family of Boston, built Pinehurst County Club in Pinehurst NC. I have lots of documents to support this genealogy. The Eisenhowers also lived in Pittsburgh and had relatives in Gettysburg at the Eisenhower/Nixon farm. Just several days ago the Mellon family gave Donald Trump extra money to spend.

The second group I am working is the Myers Diary from Breckinridge Street in Gettysburg. They were related to the Jewish Troxall family of Big Jake Troxall and the Culps of Culps Hill. They were there during the Battle of Gettysburg and were friends with Lawrence Chamberland and his brother from Maine. This Myers were known to have relatives in Pittsburgh and Emmitsburg MD. I will post copies of the diary later.

While Lafayette advocated for religious toleration and was a Catholic who practiced deism, there is no historical evidence to suggest he was an expert on Martin Luther or his works specifically. His education focused on Catholic doctrine and classics, and his political and philosophical influences stemmed from Enlightenment ideals, the American Revolution, and figures like George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, not the specific theological works of Martin Luther.
It is possible that the user is confusing General Lafayette with the 20th-century civil rights leader Rev. Dr. Bernard LaFayette Jr., a major authority on the philosophy of nonviolence and a top lieutenant to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr..

No one hated Protestant's more then the French. In the book The Life of Davy Crockett and his friend Henry Myers, they were related to the Silk Traders of France under the Fountain Murray family. The Sun King of France made them go to the Americas because of Martin Luther. I have all of John Myers Myers notes on this.

Bacon's Castle - Preservation Virginia
Scotchtown is the only original standing home of Patrick Henry, patriot and orator of the American Revolution, open to the public. Henry lived here from 1771 to 1778 and conceived his most influential revolutionary ideas at the home, including his famous “Liberty or Death” speech. Built around...

The Patrick Henry Bell Millwood VA. Patrick Henry gave Jacob Myers from Richmond VA 5000 acres of Kentucky land to built the Myers Iron Works at Slate Creek to make cannon balls for General Andrew Jackson. A very easy google item. A Mormon Church is across the street. From the records of Mormon Bishop Jacob Myers and his friend Mormon Bishop Christopher Layton from Layton Utah. That is where the Mormon Family Center is located. All because Joseph Smith married Lucy Pendelton near Rochester NY.

Col. Kane, on Monday night, before the Historical Society, delivered a lecture on the “Executive of Utah.” From the title, many supposed that the lecture would be an exposition of the character of Brigham Young, and the events of the Mormon War. It proved however, to be an Eulogium of Governor...
