My, not sure how many greats, grandmother was the first white women to get a deed in Lancaster PA, from William Penn himself. Before moving to the US, she also had an interview with Queen Ann of England.

My Great Great aunt on my mom's side worked at Ellis Island

I also have quite a few ancestors that fought in the CW and also(though not the same ones) the RW. There is also one who made guns for the RW.
