My friends - Today, I am deviating from the county-specific data posts that I usually deliver to the JP List each day, in favor of a posting which affects all of the counties in the region. Many of you may be familiar with Anderson Chenault Quisenberry's 1896 work entitled, "Revolutionary Soldiers in Kentucky". This work was an attempt by Quisenberry to list, as far as possible, those Revolutionary War soldiers who removed to KY and received their pensions in that State. I have extracted the names and data on the soldiers from the JP region and I will present it in two parts. Today's post will cover Hickman and Graves counties, and a later post will cover Calloway and McCracken counties. These Quisenberry records were taken from materials for the 1840 and earlier time frame, so the counties of Ballard, Carlisle, Fulton and Marshall, which had not been formed at that time, will not appear here. In some cases, men whose names appear in the Calloway County listing, for example, were later residing in Marshall County, after its formation from the northern half of Calloway County, even though they did not move. If you see an ancestral name in this list, and would like the full data set for that individual(which generally - but not always - includes the date the pensioner went on the rolls, the date of the first payment, the age at time of first payment, the soldier's rank, the date of death[rarely], and the state from which the pensioner served), please let me know and I will get that information off to you. As always, your help in not resending this entire message back to me with your request is greatly appreciated. As usual, there will be no data posts per se over the weekend, but, if time permits, I will try to get out another JP Land Grants text file. -B ============================================================ Revolutionary Soldiers in Kentucky(Quisenberry) - Part - 1 - Hickman & Graves Counties ~~~~~~~~~~~ Graves County: ~~~~~~~~~~~ Ross, James Adams, Walter Cook, William Gilbert, Charles Hawthorn, John Johnson, William Lovelace, Vacehl Odom, Willis O'Dill, John Rhodes, Benjamin Rowden, George Stokes, John Stafford, John Fox, Daniel Gamblin, Joshua Glover, Joseph ~~~~~~~ Hickman County: ~~~~~~~ Bynum, Tapley Bone, John II Cunningham, Morrell Cockrum, William Gore, Notley Huey, Lewis Jones, William Jones, Benjamin Messhew, Jesse Pickett, Henry Tharp, Charles Bone, John, Sr. Vi[n]cent, Thomas Depeyster, John Williams, Jacob ~to be continued~ ============================================================
