Sorry everybody. I sent this obit to the list the evening before I went on a business trip. Upon returning, I realized that it didn't exactly make it intact. I'll resend it below. Capt. John SANDIDGE was indeed the husband of Mary "Molly" WOOD, dau. of David WOOD and Mary WATSON. His parents were William (II) SANDIDGE and Elizabeth "Betty" GRAVES. For more on the family of Capt. John SANDIDGE, link to the following URL: <A href="http://members.aol.com/wmrvincent/genealogy/ahnentafel/AT01/AT01_009.htm #P331"> http://members.aol.com/wmrvincent/genealogy/ahnentafel/AT01/AT01_009.htm#P331< /A> Although the obit refers to his participation in the American Revolution, and his title of Captain would indicate his rank, I have never seen any proof that he was a veteran of that war. I have never seen him listed on any DAR roll. If anyone has evidence of his war service, I would like to learn about it. The obit follows below. I hope it comes through this time. Bill Vincent (WmRVincent@aol.com) **************************************************** Greensburg paper Aug. 10, 1832 DIED - at his residence in this county, on Thursday night last, the 26th ??? <<July - WRV>> Captain JOHN SANDEDGE, in the 72 d year of his age. The Cause of his death was probably apoplexy; four or five attacks of which he had previously suffered. The day before his death he was well as usual; ate a pretty hearty supper, laughed and talked with his friends afterwards, and then retired to bed in unusuaily cheerful spirits. But morning, to the regret of his friends and the deep affliction of his family, he was found a corpse! Capt. SANDIDGE was one of that revered band of patriots that fought and bled in the cause of our Independence. He was a native of Virginia; but for the last 20 or 25 years has been a resident of this county. His doors were always open to hospitality; and kindness, benevolence, with correctness of moral sentiment and deportment, were distinguished traits of his character. His memory will long be cherished by all who knew him and the exalted station which he occupied in the affections of his family and neighbors must forever remain unfilled.
