Thanks to everybody who responded to my various posts. As for Daniel Morgan I need to zero in on his whereabouts and activities at the time he was called to quell the Tory uprising at Brake in Hardy County in 1781. I am looking for things like who ordered him out, any letters or reports he may have left of the action etc. Again thanks to everyone who has helped me. Best Regards David Armstrong Elkins, WV
