From the May 30, 1987, Northwest Herald "Descendant of 'Mad' A.W.."
Captain Harley Wayne was the descendant of an illustrious military forbear.
"Mad" Anthony Wayne, chief of staff for Gen. George Washington, was Captain Wayne's grandfather.
"Mad" Anthony Wayne fought Indians after helping defeat the British during the American Revolution.
Fort Wayne, Indiana, is named after him.
Connie Parenti gave this information. After looking into Harley Wayne's life, she also became interested in the Wayne genealogy.
