Those scumbags are so messed up in the head they literally have this idea that the consitution should be thrown out and they should rule us like subjects and or peasants and they the elite queen and kings. By God thats what we fought the revolution for . I have a weird history with my Great Great Great Great Grandfather on that one.
Ask me I will tell it.
You got me curious. Do tell, please!

So My Ancestor was a 18yr old lad of Upper Prussia born in and around 1756 He was born and the English Government started hiring mercenaries to fight against the Americans in the revolutionary war . He was sold by Prussia to England and promptly sent to America. These people were referred to as Hessians by the American soldiers and fought for England against the Americans
. During his time as a Mercenary He was captured and held in a war prison just across the Ohio River in present day Ohio. I am unsure of his duration in that prison but at the Wars end Government representatives came to the prison and gave them an option they could stay and become Americans or be deported back to there homeland. John Herrod chose to become and American and settled in Modern Day Pennsylvania in Greene County ( which by modern day is only aboit 70 miles from where he was imprisoned)and Married a Mary Swift . His Grave is in Greene County PA. Eventually one of his Sons also named John name was passed for like 3 generarions had 5 sons one of which couldnt get along with his brothers who owned a gristmill and sawmill and had lost one of those assests in a poker game. He came to modern day Doddridge County ,WV which at the time was still Pennsylvania bought a 100 acre track of land and settled there. That would be Madison Myers Herrod . Thats where I am from . My great grandfather only migrated about 20miles from there to a place called Marshville . Which was about 5 miles from where I grew up.

The first Roberts or I should say Robarts came over with Champlain to the walled city of Quebec Canada some where from 1603 to 1633 . Then got permission from the British to migrate into New York .
Yeah ,due to it being a British territory till the Americans kicked their behinds out .
My Ancestor sorta was forced into his position but in the end chose wisely
