Voilà!

So, late Friday afternoon, as I wait for the concert of French music sponsored by the Hugenot Society, I am looking through ancestral papers, researching a question for my sister. Lo and behold, I come across a history of the Pattillo family from whom I am descended and discover that my ancestors were French Hugenots who escaped from persecution to Scotland. George Pattillo stayed in Scotland, raised three sons, two of whom immigrated to America. This adds to my illustrious ancestry which includes a signer of the Declaration of Independence, William Hooper. Voilà!
