[QUOTE="Ryder, post: 1005351, member: 663"] Story is that one of my maternal ancestors was from the New York/New Jersy area. Seems there was a love triangle going on and the other fellow somehow got knifed. Ancestor, not wanting to deal with the hangman, rode out fast under cover of darkness and eventually made his way down to Louisiana. Here he married and had several kids. He was a small dapper man with an Irish temper with more guts than sense. One day, story has it, he fought seven duels then jumped up on a stump and asked if anybody else wanted to try him. Story has it that later his adventuresome spirit led him out west. One day a tight rope walker was performing walking across a deep canyon. The ancestor, being drunk at the time, decided he could do that. He fell to his death. It is hard for me to imagine having such an ancestor :roll: being as sedate and mild mannered as I am. Of course I didn't take after that side of the family. [/QUOTE]
