Military Service | Revolutionary War soldier. According to Caughron, he was a "Private, enlisted in 1776 under Captain Nevil 12th Va. Regt.; was in Battles of Brandywine, Germantown, Monmought, and Gates' Defeat. Discharged Winchester, Va. Enlisted Martinsburg, Va." He made a pension claim that was apparently rejected (R2869). According to Caughron, "it is understood that a rejection of a pension claim does not mean question of service, but of political pull." I'd like to see documentation of this, or his service, then.

Histories | ![]() | The Revolutionary War This page collects the people on this site who served in the Revolutionary War. Some are militia; some served in the Line troops. It includes both loyalists and patriots. There may well be others on the tree who should be included. Some could use more secure evidence: genealogical histories often say that someone "fought in the Revolution," but this can be family legend rather than fact. Sources are cited under each person's page. War and Pension records can be found on line at the National Archives. Genealogies can be ordered from the DAR and the SAR, but their lists only include those whom people have used to join, not all veterans. |
