re: #328 Obdicut

One of our family treasures was a powderhorn that family legend says belonged to my great-great-great-grandfather, who served in the NJ revolutionary militia. His initials were carved in the wooden cap. We have documentation that he served, so it’s very likely the powderhorn was his. Therefore, he owned a gun at one point.

After our basement was flooded from a burst pipe, I realized that this treasure would probably be safer in a museum. After consulting with my kids, I donated it to the Cape May County Historical Society museum.
