Captain Robert Gamble's Orderly Book (transcript) has an entry as follows: <<A Return of the Men of Captain Gamble's Company when Stony Point was taken from the Enemy, 15th July, 1779.

James Flanherty, Sergeant-Major, ought to have been included in the company. Lieutenant Lind will have him put in the field and staff.>> ______________ Added together the privates equal 40 or one less than the authorized 41 of rank and file of a light Infantry company. Leadership were the officers (2), Sgts (3), Corps (3) and a drummer (1). GAmble's company served in the 1st L. I. Regiment (Febiger's) I'm not sure of the role of the Sgt-Major. Was he in the company or on the regimental staff. If in the company he was the senior of the other Sgts. I think the use of the word "Volunteer" is a transcribing error and should read "Virginia" to be consistent with the whole report. What is peculiar is that the above company was made up of men from the 7th and 8th VA Regts while the General Order organizing the Virginia component of the Corps of Light Infantry clearly states that the 8th VA was to furnish no men, and the 7th VA and the 3d VA were to furnish one light Infantry company. Given the evidence of Gamble's company roster, the roster has to prevail as the actual composition. In actual fact the 7th (Morgan's) and 8th (Wood's) VA Regiments furnished the men for Gamble's LI Company. After the LI Corps and its regiments were disestablished in Dec 1779, Captain Robert Gamble served in the 8th VA in SC during the 1780 campaign there. From this I presume he had come from the 8th VA when he joined the Corps of LI (not proved yet). The roster above is a good source for genealogy buffs. Best regards, Hugh <[email protected]>

I would like to get copies of the first applications for membership in DAR who used Samuel Bradford, 1738 - 1810/1812 (Maryland) as their patriot. (My g-4 grandfather) I previously requested and received the more recent ones, and this is not what I want. Anybody have a suggestion of how to go about getting the oldest applications? Thank you. Jean

Hello, I'd like to thank all the KIDDER's who fought in the Revolutionary War ! For those of you who are not aware, George KIDDER in FL is in the final stages of preparing an updated version of the 1941 "KIDDER book" for publication: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Plains/1255/1255.htm I thought George had "downsized" his KIDDER web site, but I just discovered by accident that he just "changed" his web site. If you go to the site and scroll down to the Revolutionary War soldiers section, and click on the "1775...." you will go to a list of KIDDER's in the War: 51 KIDDER's fought in the War, with 17 of them responding to "Lexington and Concord." I'd also like to thank all the KIDDER's and other ancestors who fought in the very long running "Indian Wars" in the 1600's and into the 1700's. Without their bravery, the "Colony" probably wouldn't have gotten to the "1775" stage ! I am also descended from the patriarchs of the CROSBY, HUTCHINSON, RICE, and WILKINS families in 1600's MA Bay Colony. * But, I have not had time to find out which of their descendants fought in the Revolutionary War ! Although I think that Jesse RICE, father of Ashabel RICE, did fight from Marlborough, MA. Unfortunately, I cannot trace my ancestor, Samuel WILKINS of "Maine" back to the patriarch, Bray WILKINS, of Middleton, MA. I do not know who Samuel's father was in "Maine," but my "educated guess" is that he was the William WILKINS who signed up to fight - from Pittston, ME. And, I cannot prove that DEXTER and CLARK and ALLEN families from 1600's Rhode Island were on my family-tree. But, my "educated guess" is that the "older couple" who adopted my grandmother "were" her own grandparents ! So, I "might" have some soldiers in those family lines. Thank you for your time. Betty (near Lowell, MA) *The surnames mentioned are my "male lines" going down into the late 1800's. There are other surnames from the 1600's MA Bay Colony where I am descended from their daughter; for instance, Francis MOORE (Sr.) of Cambridge, MA. And, for instance, MANCHESTER and TOMPKINS of 1600's RI, "if" the adoptive couple were the grandparents of my grandmother ! P.S. If you have KIDDER information which might not be in the 1941 "KIDDER book," please contact George in FL. His contact information is on his web site. He is especially interested in the KIDDER's of 1700's ... Connecticut and "Maine."

HIGH RISK OF DESTRUCTION BY DEVELOPMENT -- Native American and Revolutionary War sites, and environmental resources on The LaGrange (Barczewski) farm in Glasgow, DE Stephen J. Nichols, a developer in Glasgow, DE, has signed a contract to purchase by November 10, 2005, with the intent to immediately develop, the entire Barczewski farm (also known as the La Grange or Dr. Samuel Henry Black farm). Mr. Nichols wants to place over 225 houses and a 26 acre commercial shopping center, on the property. He also intends to allow the Christina School District to have over 50 acres of the farm, including the historic manor house and granary, so that a public elementary school can be built. This property is crisscrossed by state and Federally recognized wetlands and over 1 mile of drainage, is in the Christiana watershed, contains part of the Glasgow recharge aquifer, and is bounded by over 3/4 mile of the Muddy Run Creek. The 136 acres of woods on the farm are in a US Department of Agriculture's local National Resources Conservation Service long-term tree management plan. The Barczewski farm's 236 acres contain two documented Native American Indian camps, earthen works from the British and Hessian occupation of Aikentown (Glasgow), remnants of the Benjamin Latrobe feeder canal from 1804, and several structures on the National Register of Historic Places (Dr. Samuel Henry Black). Dorcas Armitage Middleton Black was the wife of Samuel H. Black. General Lafayette named the farm "La Grange" while a visitor there in October 1824. The Federal US Censuses of 1810 and 1820 for DE/NCCo/Pencader Hundred, show that there were three FREE African-Americans (unnamed - husband, wife, and daughter) who were part of Dr. Samuel H. Black's household. The farm is located near the northwest corner of Routes U.S. 40 and Del. 896 in Glasgow (New Castle County, Pencader Hundred), and is comprised of a single tract of 236 acres. Approximately 100 acres are pastures, and approximately 136 acres are wooded. The Muddy Run creek and some of its tributaries run through and form the 3/4 of a mile of the northern boundary of the property. This property contains the historic home and farm of Glasgow's early physician, University of DE trustee, and state politician, Dr. Samuel Henry Black. The land, however, had been farmed for over 100 years before Dr. Black acquired it. The property has a carefully restored historic home and preserved granary, each dating to 1815, and more recent barns and outbuildings dating to the property's days in the 1940s through 1960s as the West End Dairy farm. Other family names associated over time with this farm include Middleton, Frazier, Leasure, Congo, Cooch, and Veach. Dr. Samuel H. Black built the property's granary. The building incorporates consolidated storage and processing functions and wheeled vehicle access. This building is the earliest documented example of a drive-through granary of the type that was to become popular throughout the Northeastern U.S. in the mid-19th century. In July 1974, the large manor Federal period home and the granary were incorporated into the National Park Service's National Register of Historic Places (NRHP #74000601). Areas of NRHP significance of this property include Health/Medicine, Architecture, Social History, and Agriculture. In 1985, the La Grange granary was incorporated into the highly selective Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS) / Historic American Engineering Record (HAER) conducted by the US Department of the Interior and maintained by the US Library of Congress (Survey # HABS DE-216). There are two archeologist documented Native American encampment sites on the La Grange farm (the Butterworth and the Barczewski sites). These sites date from 10,000 BC to 6,500 BC. Over 1,800 authentic Paleo-Indian and Early Archaic periods' arrow points, axe heads, and other stone implements have been found all over the farm's land. In the farm's woods there are authenticated, intact remains of British and Hessian earthen trenches from the September 3, 1777, Revolutionary War battle of Cooch's bridge. The trenches run parallel to the remnants of a historic and ancient, but now abandoned road, of which the last remaining vestiges exist on the LaGrange Farm. The earthworks are also parallel Rt. 40 West from Glasgow, DE, to Elkton, MD, and face Iron Hill. There is also documented evidence on the farm of Benjamin Latrobe's venture to build a feeder canal in 1804 (New Castle County Historical Marker NC-59). The feeder canal remnants are intact. The canal was to be built from the Elk Creek to the Christiana River, with the ultimate goal of the canal connecting the Delaware and Chesapeake waterways. The project failed, however, because the state of Delaware ran out of money before the canal was completed. The remnants of the feeder canal run from Rt. 40 West through the La Grange farm. On May 30, 1973, Anne Barczewski vowed that the 236 acres of her farm "will never fall into the hands of builders and developers." ("Threatened by Cloverleaf", The News Gazette, New Castle, DE.) In 1996, Anne Barczewski was honored with a prestigious historic preservation award from the New Castle County Historic Preservation Review Board. The Board placed a protective Historic Zoning overlay upon the entire 236 acres of the La Grange farm. In 1997, Anne Barczewski was recognized as Delaware's Tree Farmer of the Year. On June 27, 1997, Anne Barczewski told preservation advocates, "If it was my last word, my last breath, I'd say 'no' to a developer." If you would like to help protect this property from development and permanently preserve its historic, cultural, and natural resources for future generations, please contact The Friends of Historic Glasgow, ATTN: Nancy V. Willing, 5 Francis Circle, Newark, DE 19711. Telephone: (302) 366-1855.

http://www.sfredheritage.on.ca/settlers.html List of Loyalists from "The UEL Centennial Celebration" published in 1885 http://www.sfredheritage.on.ca/loyal.html

I usually "lurk" on this list and enjoy what everyone else has to say. But as I was trying to go to sleep tonight, I was thinking - what better day than this, our country's day to celebrate our Independence and Freedom - to pay tribute to my ancestors who served their country during the fight for that Independence! Listed below, in no particular order, are the ones I can think of off the top of my head, with a description of their service. This is rather long, but I wanted to give as much information as I could - maybe it will help someone else, or maybe make a connection to someone on the list! Happy 4th of July everyone! Adina WILLIAM FROGGE (also seen as FROGG, FROGGET) Served from Culpeper Co., VA in Capt. John Rogers' Company of Light Dragoons in George Rogers Clark Illinois Regiment. Service in the Western Country at the Falls of Ohio; Kaskaskia Campaign to Rock River against the Sac Indians. Pension filed in Barren Co., KY; also received bounty land. JOHN JONES Born in Culpeper Co., VA. Was at the Battle of Point Pleasant, October 1774. Enlisted in Greenbrier Co., VA, September 1776 as a regular soldier under Capt. Matthew Arbuckle. That company erected a fort at the mouth of said Kanawha river and continued there during the balance of the year 1776 and until the close of the year 1777. Received a discharge from Capt. Arbuckle and returned Greenbrier County. In 1778 he was employed under the authority of the State of Virginia as an Indian spy at the rate of one dollar per day, but without rations, clothing or munitions of war, the applicant furnishing them for himself. That the distance he was employed to act as a spy was between sixty and seventy miles and immediately west of the inhabited part of Greenbrier County and continued to act as a spy for the period of two years. NATHANIEL GERARD Pennsylvania Archives shows that Nathaniel Gerard served as a Private in the Bedford County Militia in 1778. A return of the election of militia officers for Huntington Co. in 1792 lists Nathaniel as the second major. Died Miami County, OH JAMES REILY Born in Chester Co., PA, where he enlisted in 1776 as private in Captain John Frost's Company. In the Battle of Long Island and the retreat from that place. Marched to Valley Forge; remained about 2 months. Discharged and re-enlisted as private in Captain Rudolph's Company, in Colonel Henry Lee's Legion, serving three years. Afterwards served six months as a private in Capt. Thomas' and Hugh Douglass' VA Companies. In the Battle of Hanging Rock, Guilford Courthouse, and Eutau Springs. Died Butler County, OH ELIJAH MILLS Born in Frederick Co., MD, where he served in the Flying Camp, Captain Andrew Hynes Company, Colonel Morgan's regiment. Was in the Battle for New York; escaped capture to Brunswick, NJ.

In recent research of the Battle of Stony Point, 15-16 July 1779, I have come across Captain Robert Gamble's Orderly book from Aug to Nov, 1779. The entries yield a wealth of information about the personnel who remained with the Corps of Light Infantry after the battle. The Corps was formed in June and disestablished in Dec 1779. It was formed from the Light Infantry Companies available in the Main Army in and around West Point. Each regiment had one light infantry company. At the time the Main Army was badly under strength, so the companies to be provided were reduced to 41 men each with two officers per company. The more senior officers (field grade) were apparently selected by name. As to Captain Robert Gamble of VA, he is identified as from the 2nd VA Regiment, however he is not found in the records of that Regiment. I have two cites that he was in the 8th VA. What I believe has happened is that Captain Gamble was assigned to the 1st L. I. Regiment (Febiger's) for the time the Corps of Light Infantry existed. Colonel Febiger's parent unit was the 2nd VA Regiment, but he was assigned to commanded the 1st L. I. Regiment during its existence. Someone because Gamble was in Febiger's Regiment assumed that the Regiment referred to was the 2nd VA when in fact it was the 1st L. I. Regiment. Does anyone have information that might clarify this apparent confusion. Best regards, Hugh <[email protected]>
