Celebrating the 4th of July weekend is taking on a new meaning for one family. They recently discovered a diary of sorts from the husband of Betsy Ross, John Claypoole. As Jericka Duncan explains, finding that diary led to them finding a family they didn't even know existed.

Each weekday morning, "CBS This Morning" co-hosts Gayle King, Anthony Mason and Tony Dokoupil deliver two hours of original reporting, breaking news and top-level newsmaker interviews in an engaging and informative format that challenges the norm in network morning news programs.
