Two Heritages

To the left of this fortress in Quebec is a field once owned by a "10 times great," great-grandfather. Because of a famous battle there, on the "Plains of Abraham," his name is still remembered. (Google Abraham Martin and Quebec for more info). Apparently he was from an English family of Catholic faith, who sided with "Bloody Queen Mary" who had martyred nearly 300 English reformation protesters. When Mary was dethroned they apparently fled to France and then moved on to the new world. Abraham became known as "The Scot," navigating the Saint Lawrence River as a boatsman. He was rewarded with a royal land grant.

I have another heritage through another Abraham spoken of in Genesis 12 and Hebrews 11. My children and GRANDkids have two exciting family heritage stories concerning an "Abraham." Both involve "royal" land grants!
