Hi Bronwen, Thank you for your wonderfully detailed comments and ideas. Your postings always contribute so much to the general body of knowlege for Northern Loudoun. I will pursue all of the SANDS names you have mentioned. I have also placed postings on several Rev.War lists and messages boards, including one for Loyalists. I suspect this issue of "The Select Sharpsburg Militia" chasing and capturing Loyalists in Northern Loudoun County may well be interesting to Loudoun list members for a variety of historical and genealogical reasons, so I will follow up with more information as I develop it. Kind regards to all, Craig Lovettsville
