I'm very interested in finding any rosters that might be available. I work on a web site that involves the battles at Saratoga in Sept. and Oct. 1777. Col. Daniel Morgan, at the request of General Washington, put together a corp of riflemen from PA and VA. From what I've been reading here, I'm pretty sure they came out of Fort Pitt. They were very instrumental in both battles at Saratoga. The captains I have are Hawkins Boone, Samuel Cabell, William Henderson, James Knox, Gabriel Long, Thomas Posey and Van Swearingen. Don't have very many of Long's men. Can anybody help? Frank Goodway

Certainly. Most Episcopal churches I've been in have hymnals with songs going back to the 18th century and farther. I would imagine Pesbyterians and Congregationalists also retain hymns from the era in their rites. If you interest is religion, you might find http://www.americanrevolution.org/brumgardt.html enjoyable.

When independence was declared on 4 Jul 1776, only East Tennessee was settled -- at that time a part of both Washington District, North Carolina, and Fincastle (later Washington County), Virginia (See Pre-1796 Tennessee), but Tennessee has been known as the Volunteer State since the 1780 Battle of King's Mountain when hundreds of Tennessee militiamen helped turn the tide of the Revolution in the South. In December of that same year, the only battle (as such) within the present-day boundaries of Tennessee was fought at Boyd's Creek, against the Cherokees, then-allies of the British. Although the Treaty of Paris was signed with Great Britain in 1783, the Indian Wars continued to rage in Tennessee and other American frontiers for another twelve years, until the 1795 signing of the Treaty of Greenville, a peace pact with British-allied Indians. In 1790, Tennessee became part of the Territory South of the Ohio River, and in 1796 was granted statehood. After the War, hundreds more Revolutionary War veterans streamed into Tennessee, their total number unknown, but with over 2,200 known pensioners alone by 1835 (Federal Pension Rolls). Over 3,200 records have been added to the Tennesseans in the Revolutionary War database already, although most entries are still incomplete .

Thanks Hugh and Mark. Mark, general terms would be fine (no pun intended) <grin> Best Regards David Armstrong Elkins, WV

Serving at Fort Pitt: 13th VA Regiment (redesignated 9th VA in 1778) at Fort Pitt 1777-1780 Best regards, Hugh <[email protected]> [DENTON, FRENCH, GOAR, GURNEY, HOFFMAN, HUFFMAN, KNOX, LEE, MIZNER, POILLON, ROSE, RUTGERS, SMOCK, THOMASON, WOOD]

To do the units serving at Fort Pitt examination, the dates serving there need to be identified. E. g. , 8th PA Regiment Jun 1778-Oct 1780 at Fort Pitt (According to Orderly Books) Best regards, Hugh <[email protected]>

Hi Mark Yeah, I noticed "Advance " is missing. Does anyone on this list know if "Advance is on line anywhere? Also,. I would like to see or create a list of what units were at Pittsburgh and when. I heard that Gen. Hand han 3 units of Continentals but I don't know which three. Have you made any headway? There is an undated petition from Hannastown which one of my ancestors signed (SW PA was crawling with my people) in which the petitioners were protesting a recent move of a garrison of troops from Hannastown to Kittaning which left them unmguarded. Any idea the date of this or which unit it was? Well, you have the idea of some of my line of inquiry. Pittsburgh was for a little over a year the government center of this area in WV where I live when WV was part of the County ("District") of West Augusta. This is another reason for my interest. I have been fortunate to be able to reconstruct some of the troop movements in and out of here (Tygart Valley) during the 1770s and 1780s but it is like digging for dinosaur teeth in a rocky desert. You sift through a good bit of stuff then every once in a while find a gem. Put enough of the gems toghether and a picture forms. I think I have came up with a picture for West Augusta that no one else has, but I can't be sure as I lack a complete list of what everyone else has. <grin> We'll keep in touch. Best Regards David Armstrong Elkins, WV

David, I can answer in genral terms but don't have exact dates. ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Armstrong" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, May 24, 2005 4:23 PM Subject: [AMER-REV] Ft Pitt > Hi Mark > > Yeah, I noticed "Advance " is missing.

Hand han 3 units of Continentals but I don't know which three. Have you made any headway? During Hands tenure I'm only aware of the 13th VA being the only regular Army unit at Ft. Pitt. There were of course militia. The 8th PA doesn't arrive until after Valley Forge ~June/July 1778. The 13th was organized at Ft. Pitt in Feb 1777 with the exact date 5 Companies were sent east unclear. Sometime summer to early fall 1777. 4 Companies stayed at Ft. Pitt. The men sent east go into winter quarters at VF Dec - Jan when they are then sent in Feb 1778 to Lancaster PA. 2 Companies in March are sent from Lancaster back to Ft. Pitt arriving in April 1778 with the remaining men arriving in June. You mentioned your guy was from a MD rifle company so there were misc. men coming and going. One problem with the 13th order books missing is these types of movements aren't easily tracked. Unless you can find a pension app that details an individuals account of his service. By "units' are you referring to companies or regiments? He should have had 4 Companies of the 13th and I undertand 2 Independant Companies. I don't have details on the Independant Companies or headcounts on militia. > There is an undated petition from Hannastown which one of my ancestors signed (SW PA was crawling with my people) in which the petitioners were protesting a recent move of a garrison of troops from Hannastown to Kittaning which left them unmguarded.

David Scott) under was at Kittaning in Aug 1777 and recalled to Ft. Pitt arriving Sept. I don't have a headcount. There were many militia involved at this time.

The Ancestors who are on my current list are I Believe as follows: Lewis MALLETT, John MALLETT, Eunice MALLETT,Miles MALLETT, Ann MALLET, Lucy MALLETT,NANCY MALLETT,Mary MALLETT,Avis MALLETT,Peter MALLETT,Isaac MALLETT. So far I have no actual documentation other than a Book that was given to me, handed down actually. The book was written in 1890 by Anna S. MALLETT(e) in the book she adds other information and the book is full of actual written family stories. It has added people and most of them are centered in and around Connecticut, and other location in North America. There may be others coming to and from Canada. I would very much appreciate any further input from those that have researched the Ancestors listed here. Sincerely, Mary Alice CRUMP/MUIR/MALLETT/MALETTE/BAILEY/Christiansen [email protected]_ (mailto:[email protected]) I have several MALET/MALLETT men in a list for members of the Services in the Revolutionary War. They are listed as in Connecticut ??

Mark My guy joined the 13th after his unit (a Maryland Rifle Unit) was absorbed into it. My uncle, Jonathan Shepherd, did not go to Valley Forge but was with the unit at Fort Pitt. As for sources, a guy named Dorman (no relation to Timothy that I know of) indexed the pensions up to a certain place in the alphabet. I don't have the proper title handy but the VA State Library has a copy and you could look on line at their catalog and get it. The beauty of Dorman's index is he indexed it not only by names but also by subject. You can look up "Fort Pitt" "Tories" "Pack Horses" "Dragoon" and find every mention of the thing you are looking for in the entire series which is several volumes. Dorman's is the BEST pension index I have seen. For Fort Pitt info and a "feel" for the place go to the Historic Pittsburgh digital library at http://digital.library.pitt.edu/cgi-bin/t/text/text-idx?c=pitttext here you will find 500 plus books on line and searchable. Under author go to Reu! ben Gold Thwaites and Louise Phelps Kellog for their books "Revolution on the upper Ohio", Frontier defense on the upper Ohio", "Frontier Retreat on the upper Ohio", etc. and you will find hundreds of source materials on Pittsburgh. There are many other books in that digital library that will help you as well. If you find anything juicy on the 13th keep me in the loop! Best Regards David Armstrong Elkins, WV

United Empire Loyalists Centennial Committee, Toronto The bulk of this work contains the "Old U.E.L. List," as it is generally called. The "List" contains the names of the thousands of United Empire Loyalist settlers who left the American colonies during and after the Revolutionary War and settled, first, in 1783, in what is now New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, and then, in 1784, in Upper Canada, or what is now the Province of Ontario. After the war, additional settlers came from the United States to claim the protection of the Crown, and so the "List" contains additions down to 1798, the terminal year of the Loyalist migrations. The 156-page main "List" contains the names of the heads of upwards of 5,000 Loyalist families, with such information as places of residence, military service, and family relationships. A supplementary 52-page listing contains about 2,000 additional names. "Although not all persons on the Old U.E.L. List are Loyalists, it contains a tremendous amount of information on the people included, their service, if any, with the Provincial Forces, the British Army, and the German Regiments, and the general location of their homes in Upper Canada."-- Milton Rubincam Paperback, 334pp., (1885) Reprint 2003

There is a Frederick Kicklighter listed in the Com Index from the South Carolina Department of Archives and History. Frederick has a couple of plats registered but no claim for Revolutionary service. If you go to this site you can just put in the surname and you will get all of that name http://www.archivesindex.sc.gov/search/default.asp On the first line put All Databases, on the second, Individual, and on the third Kicklighter. You can pretty much ignore the rest. Then when you get the list you hit Details on the one you want to see more of. From my gazeteer Wateree Creek runs into Broad River in Lexington County. From the information listed there such as series, volume and page the Archives staff can copy a document for you.
