William Stacy


Today is the birthday of this continental army officer. (Although today is President's day/Washington's birthday today in the US Washington's birthday is on the 22nd). Stacy had an interesting and heroic career, being at the battle of Bunker Hill and being captured at the Cherry Valley Massacre and surviving being burnt at the stake by being spared by Joseph Brant because he was a freemason.
