Rounds of storms are forecast to develop across coastal counties in SE GA and the SC Lowcountry, with the greatest coverage expected from Liberty County north to coastal Colleton County. The environment will favor very heavy rainfall rates today.
Good Morning and please share.
America 250 Story Time.
One of the best stories you probably never heard of the American Revolution.
The Stocking Gunpowder Mill (also known as the Stocking Mill) was a vital American Revolutionary War ammunition factory located in Cotton Hollow in South Glastonbury, Connecticut. Run by George Stocking Sr. and his family, it supplied gunpowder for George Washington's Continental Army. Specifically high quality powder needed for cannons.
The mill exploded on August 23, 1777, instantly killing George Sr., three of his sons, and two other workers. At the time, the owner’s wife, Eunice Cobb Stocking, was on horseback returning from a supply delivery for the army. Upon hearing the blast, she returned home to find her husband and sons dead.
Refusing to give up, Eunice Stocking enlisted financial assistance, rebuilt the factory, and continued supplying crucial gunpowder to the Continental Army for the duration of the Revolutionary War.
She didn’t start a group MAGP (Mothers Against Gun Powder)
She showed resilience, determination, grit…through devastating loss.
A heavy price was paid by many for our freedoms.
We are not just proud to name our company after this story but grateful for all the sacrifices endured by those who helped secure our freedoms.
