Hi Everyone, Hi Everyone, A kind gentleman named Charles Barnes, Coordinator for Fairfax Co. VA., performed a lookup over and beyond the normal for me and I thought you might want to take a look at parts of what he sent. I hope that there is an early clue for you here. Bockstruck's Va Colonial Soldiers has a few tidbits of interest: Jacob Wire is listed on the pay roll of Capt. George Rogers Clarke's company at Pittsburgh in Dunmore's War (1774). Timothy Wire is listed on the pay roll of Capt James Wood's company at Romney and Winchester in Dunmore's War. These units were from the militia in the surrounding area of Pittsburgh, Romney and Winchester, so the one at Pittsburgh is close to Monongalia. There is also the size roll of 7th Co, Va Regt, commanded by Capt Joshua Lewis that lists William Wire, enlisted by Capt Lewis 24 Jun 1757, age 24, 5' 1", planter, born England, enlisted Frederick County, fair complexion, light hair.
