Clermont Co was not settled in the Rev War. Every pioneer lived back East,or in the Carolina's. Some were Loyal to England. Some were neutral. Some served on private privateers.Some smuggled.Some served on Rebel militia units,or regular units. Winners write the history. Because of that,and the D.A.R,-S.A.R. many of the books are about the Whig,or Rebel soldiers. Evert's 1880 history gives a partial list of soldiers. Beech Forrest DAR edited Roster III OF Ohio Vetrans 'sic. I bought a reprint 2 vol Indiana DAR book that was my best resource. Aileen Whitt,past president of the Clermont Co Genealogy Society, had jury duty,and while waiting to serve,dug around the Clermont Co courthouse,and found vetrans pension applications. [Many pioneers died before,or moved on,or did not qualify for pensions]. 1st,for 'NEED" was about 1814-18..Anyway,Aileen researched locally,and at the National Archives and National DAR library,material for 3-4 books,of her about 20 resource books.Her research was likely done before this remarkable tool called the Internet came along. Penn Archives shows that one of my own ancestors was at least 3 times fined for not attending Capt Francis Bonner's militia meeting during the war. Another of my own ancestors was kicked out of his Quaker meeting for swearing an oath in support of the Rebel cause. I'm sitting 2 miles from a pioneer's 1803 cabin. He was once found guilty of smuggling to the British across Rebel lines. Our Nantucket WHALERS included Quakers.Rev Phillip Gatch was partially blinded getting tarred and feathered by Rebel militia.Daniel Boone was courtmarshalled for helping the enemy.And found not guilty. The National DAR was very lax in researching the accuracy of member applications for many years. I have been known to have called my Indiana DAR books 'works of fiction" for all the errors. I can open either vol to any 2 pages,or 14-16 vetrans paragraphs,and find errors on every page. Birth location is the worst. Every page will have a birth location and date well west of the frontier for that date. Many changed sides during the war. NC forced captive Loyalists by 1780,to serve in Whig units,or hire a substitute. I think there were several NC Loyalists south of Bethel by 1810.
