I have. Apparently, I had an ancestor living in the late 19th Century who was a British colonel stationed in India. According to my research, he was killed in direct action during the Sepoy Mutiny. It's also very probable one of my early 18th Century Irish ancestors was a highwayman and sometime sailor who married a lower-ranking French princess. Their son (maybe?) became a successful merchant sea captain, and his son was a captain in the loyalist militia during the Revolution. HIS son however, chose the Continental side, served as a captain also, and survived the War. His father (the Redcoat) did not.

I have my tree back for all 4 grandparents but the military is something I never looked for beside the obvious like Revolutionary war and civil war.
