Gene,
That is very interesting, are you referring to Paul Larsh and I am guessing that "in the tents" is an antiquated term for "camped with" ? Paul and Alice's son Charles, married Sarah Swearingen, a daughter of John and Catherine Swearingen. John was a captain in the Congenital Army, and was friends with George Washington, so it would make sense that Paul would have known Washington as well since he had a close association with Swearingen. Do you have any more information on that, or on Paul's Pennsylvania days during the Revolution? I am currently writing a sequel to my first book, and anything you could provide would be appreciated!
Thanks for reaching out.
