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.
