Gosh, David, thanks for posting this. Though you and I know each other, I'm one of the lurkers on this site. I'm working with our local DAR chapter to prove some of the suspended pensioners/rejected pensioners in the 1830s pension scandal investigated by Singleton. Several of the suspended pensioners claimed service with Clark. >The Illinois SAR and SCW have digitized 13 microfilms of George Rogers >Clark's papers from the Virginia State Library and they are at this URL: > >http://my.execpc.com/~sril/clarkv07

The Illinois SAR and SCW have digitized 13 microfilms of George Rogers Clark's papers from the Virginia State Library and they are at this URL: http://my.execpc.com/~sril/clarkv07 For the genealogist or those looking to join patriotic organizations there are thousands of names. For the historian (like me) there are thousands of details of the day-to-day operations of the militia such as supplies, finances, personel, animals, etc. Just FYI - maybe this has already been announced here but it is too good for me not to want to tell all my friends! Best Regards David Armstrong Elkins, WV

Thank you,David, for sharing this link. I had not seen this before and it is fascinating. Deb http://my.execpc.com/~sril/clarkv07 __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com

The reason the information is not listed is because the information was not available or missing when the records were compiled. I have seen this many times on other service records of the Revolution & on records of the Civil War. It certainly is not racial. Jews were given & are continuing to be given much credit for the service they did in helping to establish this country's freedom in the Revolutionary War. Frances Hall

Pat This is an unqualified opinion but I feel that IF he is in the muster then his lack of information was not due to his religion. Probably just an oversight.

Someone by his name served in either or both of these: Lee's Legion and the 7th VA Continental Line, " Debbie you hit on a big issue here. That is identification of soldiers found in primary sources. I have THREE cases in my family where for 50 years soldiers with certain names were identified as being my ancestors but on further research the soldiers turned out to be someone else. One example: there is a Henry Flesher in the 12th VA regiment, well documented. For many years people thought that this soldier was my ancestor Henry Flesher the pioneer settler of Weston, WV. On closer inspection the soldier turned out to be my Henry's nephew. But you wouldn't believe some of the old genealogy letters going around back in the '30s that really sounded authoritative and like they were written by professional historians. But they identified the wrong guy. Sometimes it is rough when a soldier's documented record is found to figure out exactly WHICH person of the same name (if there are more than one) the soldier was. With Cornelius Bogard we got real lucky - he signed a pay receipt for his commander and the signature is a perfect match to the signature of the one who permanently settled here in the Tygart Valley. But without that signature we would never have known which of four or five Cornelius Bogards the soldier was. Just a heads up - check IDs of soldiers.

We have had several that could be it. I thought it was Colonial and Revolutionary History of Upper SC by Dr. J B O Landrum. It was first printed in 1897. But it has nothing on log cabins that I could find. One that has a description of a cabin is Partisans and Redcoats by Walter Edgar but it is Harper Collins publisher. It came out in2001. It has a lot about the Brattons of York County. Give some more clues.

Thank you very much for this information. Jean Cromwell

In the "DAR Patriot Index," volume 3, p-z, published in 2003, page 2087: William Pendleton, Sr.: born Mar. 23, 1704, RI, died Aug. 23, 1786 in RI, married (x) Lydia Burroughs, (x) Mrs. Mary (McDowell), Cheeseborough, RO, RI. The abbreviation "RO" stands for Recruiting Officer. He is credited with Revolutionary War Service. Frances Hall

It would appear from our common experiences that not everything is known about Continental regiments even though one would think all would be known. But as Ed pointed out a short time ago on this list some of the records (if not all) are reconstructed. I don't think my guy's 14th VA was the same one but apparently a NEW one Von Steuben put together getting recruits ready for the Continental Army. Best Regards David Armstrong Elkins, WV

Hoping someone will have an educated guess for this one. I have an ancestor who lived in Montgomery County, VA. Someone by his name served in either or both of these: Lee's Legion and the 7th VA Continental Line, and was a Sergeant. Thomas Whitlock from Montgomery County, Va. I do know that he isn't the one in the records from from Halifax Co Va. Judging by his place of residence could he have been in the 7th Va ? or Lee's Legion ? Montgomery VA was near the NC border then. Thanks! Debbie __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Two more cents to add to the pile. My guy (Charles Bodkin) was in the 13th VA. The 13th was redesignated the 9th in 1778. I have seen overlapping documents where they to referred to themselves as the 13th as well as the 9th.

Thank you for the information about Wm. Pendleton. Jean Cromwell

Not that I have any information on. Jean Cromwell
