My friends - A few days ago, I posted the first part of a set of the names of Revolutionary War soldiers who resided in the JP region. By way of recapitulation, here is what I said in that earlier post: >In looking over some *very* old correspondence which I have in storage, I >found some letters I had exchanged in the 1960's with Eurie Pearl Wilford >Neel , a tireless genealogical information gatherer who published several >large books on Trigg County and other genealogical subjects. She and I >corresponded about a number of things, but she was very interested in >trying to locate the graves of Revolutionary War soldiers, both in Trigg >County and in the JP region. She sent me a listing of the soldiers whose >names she had gathered from Quisenberry's work and a few other sources. I >am going to use today's posting to pass along the names she sent me of the >soldiers who ultimately resided in Calloway and Graves counties. I will >post the other counties from time to time. I have posted a few items from >time to time in this same subject area, but not with lists as complete as >those which Eurie provided. Today's post contains the names which Eurie had for McCracken and Hickman counties, which concludes this series. Ballard, Carlisle and Marshall counties were not specified, since the information from which these lists were made up covered a time period before the creation of those three counties. The state designation after the names below indicates the state of service of the veteran, if known. It should be remembered that these lists do not comprise *all* of the RW soldiers who resided in the JP region, but is confined to those for whom graves had not been found at that point in time. I have *no other information* on any of the names in the listing below. A good resource to check for possible pension applications for these men is Virgil White's multi-volume set, "Genealogical Abstracts of Revolutionary War Pension Files", available in most libraries with a special collections or genealogy department. Tomorrow on the JP List, we will pick up the Ballard County post that was postponed from last week. -B ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Revolutionary War Soldiers in JP Region - McCracken & Hickman Counties McCracken County: Joshua Gamblin (VA) Elias Lovelace (NC) William T.
