Hi Warren: Thank you so much fo rthe obit. I don't know what will eventually become of my research but I do plan a detailed article about the tory uprising at Brake in Hardy County. That was NOT a misunderstanding over taxes, although for political expedience Daniel Morgan recommended that the state accept that. Much like trying to get the Sunnis to come to the table in Iraq - yeah, we hate them but no we don't want them for enemies. Brake was a full blown Tory who meant to hook up with Cornwallis had the good general's military invasion been more successful. Best Regards David Armstrong Elkins, WV
