This is spawning off of the "Indiana Cities and Towns" thread. Many members had cool stories about their ancestors; soldiers during the revolution/civil war, relatives of nobel ancestry, etc. I thought it would be cool to post all of those in one area.
There is a house in Lehi County PA called the Troxell-Steckel house. It is one of the oldest standing houses in the country, built in 1756. I am related to both the Troxell's and the Steckels.

The Steckels wagon was also used to transport the Liberty Bell.
So what are your stories/claims to fame
