Sorry Folks about sending this to the list, but I have lost his Email address. Phillip: Here is the information you asked about: John Simmerly b. 4 May 1753 Altdorf, Germany Came to SC at age 13 Enlisted in RW in Lincoln Co., NC and received Land grant in Washington Co., TN 1778 for 300A. Applied for RW pension #R9573 25 Nov 1844 age 92, in Blount Co., TN after having lived the first 10 years in Carter Co., TN. I could not find the Simmerly book locally, but contact Frank Simmerly, 4531 Hillard Ave. La Canada, CA 91011... This came from the Carter Co., TN Heritage book... and RW pension abstracts. Sorry this is the best I could do...
