Can anyone tell me more about a petition pertaining to Military Service and the Brethren. The year was 1799 and the signers were: John Becklehimer, Jr., John Boon (probably Barbara Moyer's step-father), Joseph Flora, (my 3rd gr. grandfather), Henry Ikenberry, Peter Ikenberry, Jacob Kingery, Jacob Kinsey, Jacob Miller, Isaac Nave (Nafe), Jacob Nave, Jacob Nave, Jr., Michael Peters and Stephen Peters. The source is: Franklin Co.VA 1786-1986--A Bicentennial History ....John S. Salmon and Emily J. Salmon..Franklin County Bicentennial Commission, Rocky Mount, Virginia - 1993 pp. 194-195. I would like to know the content of the petition and if Isaac Nave (Nafe) was indeed a signer.
