Fort Ticonderoga Ticonderoga, New York http://www2.cr.nps.gov/pad/defenders/forticonderoga2.htm Built high on a bluff by the French in 1755, Fort Ticonderoga was captured by the British four years later. Then, a few weeks after the American Revolution began in 1775, Ethan Allen and Vermont's Green Mountain Boys seized it for the Continental Army. With the help of eighty-one yoke of oxen, the Green Mountain Boys moved the cannons and ammunition to Cambridge, Massachusetts. George Washington used the weapons captured at Fort Ticonderoga to keep the British from taking Boston. Later that year, when Americans mounted an unsuccessful attack on Quebec, the British recaptured the fort and kept it until September 3, 1783. On that date, Fort Ticonderoga was returned to the Americans through the signing of the Treaty of Paris, in Versailles. http://www2.cr.nps.gov/pad/defenders/forticonderoga2.htm

Does anyone know if a roster exists for Michael Cresap's Maryland Rifles? Thanks, Lonny J. Watro

Hi All I am new to this list and have joined as I am sure that there are probably many knowledgable individuals who subscribe that will know the answer to a geography question :-) My ancestor, Henry THOMAS, became a soldier of the Revolutionary War in 1781 from Northumberland Co., PA. He described in his Pension papers the services that he performed. He said: ".....He marched from Sunshiry(?) which stands on the bank of the Susquehanah River to Cokes Town about forty-five miles from the former place, there he continued for some time as a guard when he marched back to Sunsbury(?) where he remained for a short time, when he again marched to Cokes Town, and from thence again to Suns??y and so alternately from one place to another as a guard for the purpose of transporting provisions and munitions of war to the main troops engaged in the Continental Service - For this tour of Seven Months he was an orderly Seargent. Nine boats were employed in the service of transporting the provisions and munitions for the said troops which had to be strictly guarded to render the transportation safe, this guard was commanded by Captain John Ingram and Lieut. John Shipman (?) (Ensign forgetting)....." I suspect that since Henry THOMAS joined in Northumberland County, PA that the first town might be Sunbury. There is definitely an "s" following "Sun" and it definitely ends in a "y". But since the Pension was applied for in Indiana maybe it sounded like Sunsbury to the person recording his statement and was actually Sunbury. Forty-five miles down river on the Susquehana River from Sunbury is Harrisburg, PA. Is there a Cokes Town near Harrisburg? Has anyone heard of Cokes Town? Thank you so much for your knowledge and help. Lin Morin LinLB5@Ashlandnet.net

Thank you so much--now I can write and find out what, if any salt, was taken from the area during the Rev War. Very interesting information. Eleen

Saltville, Virginia Saltville, Virginia is located in Southwest Virginia, on the border of Smyth and Washington counties. Saltville is known as the "Salt Capital of the Confederacy," because it was the Confederate States' main source of salt during the Civil War. Saltville's history is closely tied to its abundant natural resources, especially salt. Ice Age animals and people were drawn to its salt springs. Today, scientists from the Virginia Museum of Natural History and other organizations are excavating the remains of Ice Age animals, including mammoth, mastodon, musk ox, ground sloth, and others, as well as evidence of ancient Native Americans who lived in Saltville 11,000 years ago. During the Colonial Period, colonists opened the first salt mines of the Virginia frontier at Saltville. During the Civil War, Union and Confederate forces fought battles over the saltworks. In the 20th century, Saltville was the home of a flourishing chemical industry. As we approach the 21st century, Saltvillians are working hard to preserve their heritage. Today you can visit the Salt Park, home of the first salt well, or tour the battlefields where North and South fought for control of the town's saltworks. You can see a reconstruction of the Madam Russell house, where Madam Russell, Patrick Henry's sister lived. During the summer, you can visit the extensive archeological excavations underway in the town. The most ambitious undertaking involving Saltville's history is the Museum of the Middle Appalachians.

Here is a very interesting site regarding salt. Regards, Margaret

Good Morning: Hopeing someone out there can give me some clues. In my line is a John Lowder/Louder who delivered a load of salt to Fort Chiswell in Virginai during the Rev War coming from Williamsburg II presume Virginia but could be Williamsburg, North Carolina.) My questions are: 1. Where is he likely to have gotten the salt? Are there salt mines somewhere in Virginia or North Carolina. This was probably supplies sent there by the military - could there have been a central place where they were obtained. 2. Were those who brought supplies usually in the same area? or did they travel through the colonies (say from New Jersey to Virginia?) as there is a John and William Lowder/Louder who served as wagoneers listed in New Jersey Rev War records. I know no one can tell me definitely anything--but hope some buff out there can give me some probabilities. Thanks Eleen eleen@netutah.com

take me off the list, Thank you -- Hack, Timothy X hacktx@jmu.edu
