PVT George Pack Sr. performed Patriotic Service in Virginia in the American Revolution.

George Pack Sr. is a DAR Patriot Ancestor, A132846.

George Washington Pack Sr. and Samuel Augustus Pack are brothers and is my grandparental lineage who both fought in Dunsmore Rev War in Virginia. They are not twins but both have the birth year as 1755. FYI What I had was actually readable and in order with accurate sources. Family surely doesn't mess up their grandparental heritages. Also George married the Brown Sisters after the first sister, Mary Christina, died.
