Portlock and Sarah (Sary) Dougherty who were married in Fauquier Co. 27 Dec 1791. John B. was born in Shenandoah according to his R.V. war pension application. Shenandoah town?

I have a Great Grandfather who was in the Flying Camp and here is what I have in my notes for him: The Flying Camp was a unit of the MD (Militia I believe) military during the Rev. War. Source is the book "Locating Your Revolutionary War Ancestor" by James C. Neagles & Lila L. Neagles, published by Everton Publishers, Logan, Utah. Regarding the term "flying camp" the books says on p.3 - "In the summer of 1776, the Continental Congress requested Delaware, Maryland, and Pennsylvania to raise a special force of 10,000 militia who were to be highly mobile and ready to move wherever danger threatened in the middle colonies. These miltia, called the "Flying Camp," were a short-lived group. When their enlistments expired at the end of the year, the Flying Camp was disbanded. My ancestor, John BREEZE, enlisted two times and served from both Pennsylvania and Maryland. He was in Lancaster, PA when he married in 1775 and after the war, he was in Maryland. Hope this helps you a little! Jan Lund >We are desperate! Please write me if you have any clues at all, even >the tiniest one.

Looking for these three ladies who all married into the Lionberger/many spellings, family. All marrying John Ulrich Lionberger (I, II, and III) Elizabeth Burckholter married about 1700, Barberry Bear married about 1732, and Barbara Boyer married about 1760. I have plenty of information on the Lionberger's (which I am willing to share) but none on these three great grandmothers of mine. All could have and probably did live in the area. Any information would be helpful. Thanks for any help. Sue K.

Thank you, for the reminder. Yes two great men whose honor cannot be sullied by time or revisionists. Lee, the greatest American, born to the tidewater aristocracy class, and Jackson, born to modest means in the upper Shenandoah valley. The Lee family was widely connected throughout the tidewater counties of VA. Many of us have connections to that family albeit distant and collateral. Lee, the last of the great noble men of America.
