Thirteen Brothers

"This last year, 13 brothers, sons of one woman, in the colony of Connecticut, each of them 6 feet tall, went into the War of Defense of their Country, and all were brave men. This is perhaps the most remarkable instance of that kind any country has ever produced. The name of this prolific and heroic family is HUNTLEY."  
--New England Chronicle
Sept 21, 1775.
