Acknowledgments
In the preparation of this book I have had the valuable assistance
of Mr. Oren F. Morton, who, in addition to condensing the great
iu..vx of material into the shape in which it appears in sections from
1 to 251, prepared the articles which appear under the title "Vir
ginia's Share in the Militia Movements of the Revolution," and
"Virginia Counties, Old and New."
I wish also to acknowledge my indebtedness to Judge Lyman
Chalkley, of Lexington, Kentucky, for procuring for me some of
the declarations of record in that State, to Mr. W. G. Stanard,
the Secretary of the Virginia Historical Society, and Dr. Henry R.
Mcllwaine, the Virginia State Librarian, for many courtesies shown
me while engaged in the preparation of this book.
Introduction
This book does not profess to be a history of the Virginia Militia
in the Revolution. No claim is made that it gives a complete
list of the companies from any of the counties. Its purpose is to
make available the material, some of which I have been gathering
from time to time for a number of years. It is believed, however,
that it is the first attempt to compile a considerable quantity of
data on the subject. In a statement issued by the Secretary of War
in 1832, he says that there are in his department no rolls of the
State troops except those of Virginia, and no rolls of the militia
except those of New Hampshire.
In regard to the Militia, very little is known and that little is
extremely fragmentary.
In 1776 the available militia in Virginia is thought to have
been about 45,000 men; probably it was never less than 40,000, of
whom possibly one-fourth saw real service. Other states have
counted their militia in the strength which they gave to the Revolu
tionary cause. For the lack of data Virginia has not received credit
on tin's score. The reports of Secretary-of-War Knox fail to do
justice to Virginia along this line. The figures given by him are
mere estimates.
In 1776 a large number of Virginians were in the field against
Dunmore. Some went to the relief of North Carolina and others
were in the Cherokee Expedition in the West.
In 1778 Virginia had a number of militia in the operations in
the West and for defense along the frontiers.
In 1779, Virginia was authorized to send militia to South
Carolina.
In 1780, the militia were out in large numbers.
In 1781, 700 militia joined General Gates, some were at King's
Mountain and others were serving around Norfolk. In the latter
part of this year Dan'l Morgan had some of them serving in
Green's Army. In 1781, practically all of the available militia of
Virginia were summoned into service, taking part in the Battle of
Guilford Court House, serving with Lafayette and at the Siege
of Yorktown.
VIRGINIA MILITIA IN THE REVOLUTION
It is hoped that the material given in this book may throw some
light on these services.
Most of the statements set out in this book were found by me
in the counties where they were made. The word "county" is
omitted in the statements where it will be easily understood. In
some of the counties the declarations of the soldiers for pensions are
spread in full upon the order book. In others they may be
found filed writh the papers of the term of court at which the ap
plication was made. Where not set out in full on the record book
and not filed with the papers of the term, a very difficult proposi
tion presents itself. I have frequently succeeded, however, in finding
among the old musty files a package in which these declarations are
wrapped up and have been preserved. Should all of these methods
fail to disclose the statement, the only other method of procuring it
is to obtain from the Bureau of Pensions at Washington, an ab
stract of the particular statements desired.
Frequently in the Clerk's Offices there will be found applications
on which no pensions have been issued, due sometimes to a failure
to supply proper proof, and at others because the service was not
of sufficient length to bring the applicant within the terms of the
pension law.
Under Chapters IV and V will be found the list of successful
applicants for pensions whose pensions were granted solely on the
ground of service as Virginia Militiamen. Many others who obtained
pensions for service in the State Troops or in the regular service
unquestionably served at times in the militia. There are several
instances in the statements set out in this book where soldiers who
held a high rank in the State troops or in the regular service later
on served in the militia.
In Sections from 251 to 280 inclusive, I give the names of
officers wTho wrere recommended or qualified in various counties in
the State. While this does not necessarily mean that the person
served, the probabilities are so strong as to make it almost a cer
tainty.
I have followed various trails which were said to lead to
muster rolls of Virginia Militiamen but found only the few which
are set out in this book.
Virginia's Share in the Military
Movements of the Revolution :%
In this article we present a bird's-eye view* cf Vacse Held'jrK/vej-
ments of the Revolution, which immediately concern Virginia. It
will interpret much of wThat is told in the pension declarations.
During the spring of 1775, Virginia committed herself to the
cause of American Independence. In June, Lord Dunmore, the
tory governor fled to a British wrar vessel, and from the safety of
its deck he still made a pretense of asserting his authority. During the
summer he gathered a few ships and with a force of British and
tories he began to harry the shores of the Chesapeake. His style of
warfare consisting in plundering plantation houses, maltreating
women and children, stealing slaves, and burning seaports. In Octo
ber he was repulsed from Hampton and in December was defeated
near Norfolk. But on New Year's day, 1776, he cannonaded and
burned the last named town. General Andrew Lewis took command
of the Virginia forces and drove Dunmore from his stronghold on
Gwin's Island in the Chesapeake. The late governor sailed for
England, and for three years the British had no foothold on Virginia
soil. Yet their navy enabled them to dominate the sea, and the coun
ties lying on navagable waters were thus kept in frequent alarm.
The first phase of the Revolution, as it relates to Virginia, was
therefore the contest with Dunmore on the tidal waters. It was
fought with militia, who came in part from the counties toward
the Blue Ridge. The militia of the Tidewater continued to be called
out here and there to repel the parties which landed from ships
for the purpose of plunder.
The second phase consisted of trouble from the Indians on the
western frontier. They had been stunned by their defeat at Point
Pleasant, in 1774, but being urged on by British emissaries and
white renegades, they at length began to harass the weak settlements
in Kentucky, along the Holston, and toward the Ohio. To quell the
Cherokees in the Southwest, a large force of militia was sent to the
Holston early in the war. This army was in part made up of men
from east of the Blue Ridge. But the militia of the Shenandoah
VIRGINIA MILITIA IN THE REVOLUTION
Valley were able to stand off the Indians who threatened them
from the Northwest. The war parties of the red men scarcely ven
tured east of the Alleghany divide, yet the scattered settlements be
yond were subjected to much distress. The wanton murder of Corn
stalk, at Point Pleasant, was the immediate cause of the Indian raid
into Greenbrier in. 1778. The Indian depredations continued
/thruiighoiit tHe.',\var,L and garrisons had to be maintained in the
irontier forts throughout the threatened area.
Being unmolested by any strong force, Virginia was free to raise
and equip a number of regiments for the Continental service. Several
of these took a distinguished part in the war in the Northern colonies.
But for some time the militia were scarcely called upon except for
the purposes already named.
The final phase of the Revolution in Virginia did not actively
begin until the close of 1780, although in 1779, Clinton, the British
commander-in-chief, had sent an expedition to ravage the coast. Un
able to make head against Washington in the North, Clinton had
carried the war into the South. Under Cornwallis, his armies
overran South Carolina during the spring and summer of 1780,
Georgia being already in their power. North Carolina was thus
threatened from the South, and continued British success meant
peril to Virginia from the same direction. To render the outlook all
the worse, there wrere fewr disciplined Virginia troops who could be
summoned to defend the State. The Virginia Continentals had been
sent South as well as North. Gen'l Mathew's regiment had been
captured at Germantown, Buford's had been massacred by Tarlton's
troopers, and still other regiments had been included in the surrender
of Charleston, to say nothing of still further losses. The drilled
Continentals had proved themselves equal to the best British regulars,
but although Virginia still had a somewhat numerous militia, they
were untrained men and therefore at a great disadvantage when con
fronted by veterans.
In the fall of that year there was some apprehension that the
Carolina tories under the energetic Ferguson, would push into South
west Virginia. There was a considerable tory element in that region,
and it was a further object to seize the lead mines in Wythe County.
The militia were called out in their defense, but in October, Fergu
son's army was annihilated at King's Mountain, men from South
west Virginia contributing to this fortunate result.
VIRGINIA MILITIA IN THE REVOLUTION
In 1780, General Muhlenberg, the brilliant soldier who had quit
the pulpit for the camp, was sent by Washington to take command
in Virginia. Gathering some odds and ends of trained troops, and
some militia, he drove the British General Leslie from Portsmouth,
Next January, Benedict Arnold, the traitor, appeared with a larger
force than was present to oppose him. He took Richmond and then
fell back to Portsmouth, burning and plundering all along his line of
march. At Portsmouth he was blockaded by the militia under
Muhlenberg. General Lafeyette was now sent on by Washington with
1,200 regulars. To rescue Arnold, a still larger force of British
\vas sent to Portsmouth, and Phillips, its commander, advanced and
took Petersburg. Here he had an engagement with Steuben, who
wras in general command of the Americans, pending the arrival of
Lafayette, whose approach prevented a second capture of Richmond.
Phillips died of fever at Petersburg and Arnold resumed command
of the British.
Meanwhile, Cornwallis had pushed the Southern army, under
General Green, through North Carolina to the very border of Vir
ginia. Notwithstanding the menace of the British army on the lower
James, it was necessary to meet the new danger. Through great
exertion, some 1,600 Virginia militia were collected to join Greene.
Many of them wrere from the Valley counties. With their help he
gave battle to Cornwallis, at Guilford, March 5th, and crippled
him so badly that he made a tumultuous retreat to Wilmington.
Greene advanced into South Carolina, and toward the end of May
Cornwallis arrived at Petersburg and superseded Arnold.
The British army in Virginia was now about 8,000 strong. La
fayette with his much inferior force was pursued to the Rapidan,
which he crossed at Ely's Ford. Cornwallis then moved toward the
mountains. A raiding party under Colonel Simcoe destroyed the
American magazines at the mouth of the Rivanna. Another expe
dition under Tarleton dispersed the State Legislature, at Charlottes-
ville, but was deterred from pushing on to Staunton by the militia
gathering to defend the mountain passes. Tarlton had been taught
a lesson by his crushing defeat at the Cowpens, a few months earlier.
Lafayette recrossed the Rapidan at Raccoon Ford. Cornwallis at
tempted to strike him on the flank, but wTas foiled by his adversary,
\vho opened by night an old path since called the "Marquis Road,"
and took a strong position behind Meechums River to protect his
10 VIRGINIA MILITIA ix THE REVOLUTION
stores. Cornwallis did not attempt to force conclusions, but under
orders from Clinton retired toward the coast, followed by Lafayette,
who on the Rapidan had been joined by Wayne with more troops
from the army in the North.
Cornwallis had been ordered to take a position on the coast, so
that he might be within supporting distance of Clinton at New
York. This movement turned out to be his undoing. While execut
ing it, two small engagements occurred near Williamsburg. The
first known at the time as the battle of Hotwater, took place at
Jenning's Ordinary, seven miles to the Northwest. Colonel Butler,
a good officer under Lafayette, fell upon foragers under Simcoe, res
cued the cattle they had taken, and handled the British roughly, but
was forced to retire under the approach of Cornwallis to rescue his
subordinate. The other fight, that of Green Spring, took place
near Old Jamestown. The British were about to cross the James
at this point, and Wayne, who was misled into thinking only a rear
guard was on the north bank, made an impetuous charge against
greatly superior numbers. He was repulsed with a loss of 118 men
to the enemy's 80, but in alarm at the onslaught, Cornwallis did
not deem it best to pursue and run into a possible ambuscade in
return.
Cornwallis took post at Yorktown. In September, Washington
arrived with a further re-enforcement and assumed general command.
The gathering militia swelled the American army to a strength of
9,000 men, French under Rochambeau raising the total to 15,000.
Being outnumbered two to one on land, and bottled up by the French
fleet which commanded the bay, Cornwallis had to succumb to the
inevitable. With his surender the war was practically at an end.
During his almost unobstructed marches through the State, his
armies wrought damage after the characteristic British fashion in
the extent of about $10,000,000, the equivalent of probably three
times that sum at the present day.
After the surrender of Burgoyne, in 1777, many of his men were
sent to a military prison, at Winchester, others were quartered at
Albemarle Barracks (now Charlottesville). The prisoners taken at
the Cowpens were also sent to Winchester, as were likewise the sol
diers in the army of Cornwallis. To guard all these prisoners of war
many details of militia were called into service.
Virginia Counties, Old and New
Before the Old Dominion was torn into two states in 1861-3,
the 149 counties of which it was then composed were grouped into
two Districts; the Eastern and the Western, the line between them
being the crest of the Blue Ridge. This division was thoroughly
well known, and was recognized for administrative convenience and
sundry other considerations. There has always been a marked
difference in the origin, habits, and characteristics of the people of
the two sections, and thus the Eastern District was the "Land of the
Tuckahoe," while the Western was the "Land of the Cohee."
Of the present 69 counties of the former Eastern District, 58
were already in existence at the outbreak of the Revolution in 1775.
During that time of strife, four new counties were formed ; Fluvanna
and Powhatan, in 1777, and Campbell and Patrick in 1781. Flu
vanna was formed from Albemarle, Powhatan from Cumberland,
Campbell from Bedford, and Patrick from Henry. Between 1784
and 1838 seven more counties were established; Appomattox, Frank
lin, Greenesville, Madison, Nelson, and Rappahannock. \Vith one
exception, all these newer counties lie against the Blue Ridge, and
therefore in the more lately settled part of the old Eastern District.
The explanation given in the above paragraph will make clear
why seven counties east of the Blue Ridge are never alluded to by
name in the military movements of the Revolution. The names of
officers and soldiers properly belonging to those areas must therefore
be sought in the records of the older counties from which the newer
ones were formed.
In the Western District the situation was vastly different. No
portion had been settled for quite 50 years, and to a very great ex
tent it was still an unoccupied wilderness. Because of these facts,
there were, prior to 1776, only seven organized counties instead of
the present 86. These seven were Augusta, Berkeley, Botetourt,
Dunmore, Fincastle, Frederick and Hampshire. Berkeley then in
cluded Jefferson, Dunmore included most of Page, Frederick included
Clarke and Warren, and Hampshire included Morgan, Mineral,
Hardy, and Grant. The remaining and far greater part of the
Western District was comprised in the enormous counties of Augusta,
12 VIRGINIA MILITIA IN THE REVOLUTION
Botetourt, and Fincastle, the jurisdiction of all of which was as
serted as far as the Ohio river. Dunmore was soon renamed Shenan-
doah, and Fincastle disappeared because of its subdivision.
During the war for Independence eight new counties arose in the
Western District. Washington and Montgomery were formed in
1776 from a part of Fincastle. In the same year, Ohio, Monogalia,
and Yohogania were formed out of the Northwest section of
Augusta, the present county still retaining a frontage on the Ohio
river. The other new counties, Rockingham, Rockbridge, and Green-
brier, were formed in 1778. Rockingham covered all the north of
Augusta east of the Alleghany divide, and it then included nearly all
of Pendleton and a portion of Page. Greenbrier, taken from Bote
tourt, reached to the Ohio river, while Rockbridge, formed from
both Augusta and Botetourt, has always had substantially its present
dimensions.
But Virginia, following the wording of her charter, claimed all
the country to the west and northwest as far as the Mississippi, and
the Great Lakes, and also that section of Pennsylvania lying west of
the meridian, which constitutes the western line of Maryland. In
the French and Indian and Revolutionary wars, these claims were
maintained by force of arms. Thus Kentucky County, taken from
Fincastle in 1776, afterwards became the State of Kentucky. Illinois
County conquered from the British by George Rogers Clark and
established in 1778, afterwards became the Territory Northwest of
the Ohio, and out of it were carved the magnificent states of Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, and Wisconsin. A boundary dispute
with Pennsylvania was settled to the advantage of the latter state.
By means of it, Virginia lost nearly all of Yohogania County, the
fragment saved being annexed to Ohio County. She also lost a large
part of Monongalia.
The few counties west of the Blue Ridge were not only large,
but because of their great extent they possessed a considerable popula
tion. This was particularly true of Augusta and the counties south
west of it. It therefore explains the large number of officers and men
who came from those counties as the boundaries then stood. Because
of the additional circumstance that their inhabitants were nearly
all wrhite, they took a very conspicuous part in the Revolution. Prob
ably no one county furnished so many soldiers as Augusta.
VIRGINIA MILITIA IN THE REVOLUTION 13
One other fact remains to be noticed. The Valley of Virginia
had been settled such a length of time, that a majority of the men
it sent into the Revolution were native to the soil. But this was not
at all the case west of the Alleghany divide. The settlers wrest of the
range were but a handful, and very few had been there so long as ten
years. They were immigrants from the older counties of Virginia
and from the neighboring states of Pennsylvania and Maryland.

AUGUSTA
\OTES: — The service of militia in 1774 are included because the Battle
of Point Pleasant in that year was really the initial battle of the Revolu
tion.
Under the head of "Augusta" will be found services of many companies
which later fell into the subdivisions of this large section of country then
called Augusta.
There will also be found mention of some companies which may really
belong to Rockingham, Greenbriar, Rockbridge, or Botetourt because of the
dificulty in determining where they should be placed.

MASSIE, THOMAS.*— Nelson, Feb. 15, 1833. Born Aug.
22, 1748. In the Spring of 1775 he was chosen captain of a large
company of volunteers to assist in protecting Williamsburg and the
country between York and James rivers, against the depredations of
Lord Dunmore and his myrmidons. Within the ensuing fall, he
received a captain's commission to recruit a company of Regular
soldiers to serve in the 6th Va. Reg. of the line on continental
establishment. His Company, being recruited at the commencement
of the following spring, he marched it to Williamsburg and united
with the said 6th Regiment, then under command of Colonels Buck-
ner and Elliott, and Major Hendricks. All the companies were
nearly complete, some he believes, quite so, viz. : Capt. Samuel Cabell,
Lieutenants Barrett and Taliaferro, and Ensign Jordan; Capt.
Ruffin, two lieutenants and ensign; Capt. Johnson, two lieutenants
and ensign; Capt. Hopkins, ditto; Capt. Garland, ditto;
Capt. Cocke, ditto; Capt. Oliver Towles (a celebrated law
yer), and company officers; Capt. Gregory, ditto. He believes
Capt. Worsham, or Dun and Avery. Also himself (Capt. Massie),
Lieutenants Hockaday and Epperson, and Ensign Armistead. The
companies were raised in different and distant parts of the State, and
he had not even personal acquaintance wTith many of them, which,

American cause of Gen. Charles Lee at the battle of Monmouth; a matter
which was not fully cleared up by American historians for seventy or more
years after it occurred.

together with the length of time, renders it difficult for him to
remember every officer's name. After the Regiment was equipped
and armed, it marched out and camped in the vicinity of Williams-
burg, where it entered into camp and military training; whence the
regiment wras ordered to march to the North. Within the summer
following this wTas done under the command of Col. Buckner and
Major Hendricks (Lieut-Col. Elliott having, withdrawn), Capt.
Ruffin died and he believes another officer, and several resigned or
withdrew. The regiment marched through Virginia by wTay of
Fredericksburg and the Northern Neck, through the upper part of
Maryland into Pennsylvania by way of Lancaster, leaving Phila
delphia to the right; crossed the Delaware River above Trenton,
and passed through Jersey to Perth Amboy, where the regiment
was posted to defend that point and the country around until further
orders. Gen. Washington at that time having the greater part of
the main American army on Long and York Islands, soon after
the defeat of that army on those islands, he, with his said regiment,
was to march up the Sound by way of Newark. The storm and
capture of Fort Montgomery taking place, he met with Gen. Putnam
at Newark, and marched up the North River as high as Fort Lee.
The defeated army had crossed the Hudson, except a part that had
marched on the east side of that river under command of Gen.
Chas. Lee. He, the said Thomas Massie, fell in the rear of those
retreating troops who had been appointed to cover their retreat and
marched the upper road by Springfield, Scotch Plains, etc., to New
Brunswick, on the Raritan River, where the troops to which he
was attached were attacked by the British Van. Having destroyed
a part of the bridge, the said American troops kept up a hot fire
with their artillery and small arms, with the British the whole day.
This checked the progress so much as to enable Gen. Washington
to cross the Delaware River with the retreating army, military
stores, etc. The troops to which he was attached (being unin-
cumbered), also had the good fortune to cross the Delaware with
out much loss. Gen. Washington having refreshed the troops and
received reinforcements recrossed the Delaware in the night of
the 24th of December (he thinks), surprised and defeated a large
body of Hessians, posted at Trenton, captured about 900 of their
number, and crossed the river again with them. Several days subse
quent, Gen. Washington, having received reinforcements, again cross-
VIRGINIA MILITIA IN THE REVOLUTION 49
ed the Delaware River with his army and took a post at Princeton.
He, the said Massie, was for the two succeeding years generally
employed on detached or particular service, consequently was seldom
with the said Sixth Regiment or his company, which company was
by this time much reduced. On the 1st day of January, 1777, he
marched under the command of Gen. Scott (who headed a con
siderable body of troops), on or about the Princeton road and en
camped in the evening on the Heights above Maiden-head. Soon
after the van of an army under the command of Lord CornwTallis
appeared, followed by the main body, said to amount to 12,000
men, and encamped in the place for the night. By da\vn of the
next day the enemy were in motion and filed off in columns to the
American left, apparently to surround them. The Americans dis
charged two light field pieces of artillery at them, without return,
and retreated do\vn the road to a creek, which they crossed over
a bridge and destroyed the same, and took possession of the ground
on the Trenton side of the creek, then covered with large forest
trees. Gen Hard at that time, being above with a large corps of
Western Pennsylvania riflemen, the Americans kept the enemy at
bay for several hours (he believes), before he could effect the passage
of the creek with his large and heavy artillery. The Americans
retreated up and slowly along the road to a summit of a hill, also
covered with forest trees. Here Gen. Washington, accompanied
by Gen. Green with reinforcements, came up. Here the Americans
ako skirmished (a considerable time), with the enemy before they
retreated, and ultimately retreated to a long hill perhaps a mile to
the west end of Trenton in view of the main American army.
Here they formed and awaited the attack of the enemy. The day
being now very far spent, the enemy appeared and approached
the Americans in columns. As they wrere displaying wre gave them
a fire in single file from right to left, and retreated under a
heavy fire of musketry and artillery, and formed under the protection
of the main army in Trenton. A very heavy cannonade ensued
directly between the two armies that lasted until after dark and has
been called the cannonade of Trenton. Gen. Washington, having
fortunately gained a grand point in eluding Cornwallis' intention
of bringing him into a general action, made up large fires in front
and left those who had been in the van during the day to keep them
up. He immediately marched wTith his army, and takirg the
50 VIRGINIA MILITIA IN THE REVOLUTION
Princeton road, reached that place early the next morning, defeat
ed Col. Mahood, whom Lord Cornwallis had left there with troops
to defend the place and its stores. Gen. Washington, having taken
off these stores, etc., proceeded down the road by Kingston and
Somerset Court House to Morristown, wrhere he established posts
on the Raritan in Jersey, viz., at Perth Amboy, Bonnontown and
Brunswick. Gen Washington also established a line of posts oppo
site to them writh a view of preventing the British garrisons from
having intercourse with and marauding the country. He, the said
Massie, was placed on this duty at Middle Post, Matuchen, under
the command of Col. Hendricks, and served on it near five months.
This duty was extremely severe by night as well as by day, con
stant patrolling, frequent skirmishes, some of them very bloody,
nocturnal surprises, the cutting off of pickets, etc., always attended
with loss of men and great fatigue. The British called in their
posts about the first of June, and the American ports were evacu
ated about the middle of June. He, with the other officers, etc., who
had been in this line of duty, joined the main army at Middlebrook.
Sometime after, he and five other officers were sent to Virginia with
instructions. He, on his return, joined the army under Gen. Wash
ington at the White Marsh Hills. Shortly after, Gen Morgan re
turned with troops from the capture of Burgone's army. Our army
then marched into wrinter quarters by way of the gulf to Valley
Forge. He was soon detailed on duty under Gen. Morgan, who
was to take post at Radnor, about half way between Valley Forge
and the mouth of the Schuylkill River, with a view of cutting off
the communication of the enemy from that part of the country wrhich
was effected. About this time (Feb., 1778), he was promoted to
the rank of Major. In the Spring he commanded a large guard
low in the lines not far above Philadelphia. Here he received Lord
Cathcart, aide to Gen. Clinton, with a flag of truce and dispatches
for Congress. Agreeably to orders, he, Cathcart, was not permitted to
proceed further. The dispatches were read and delivered to Gen.
Morgan. Immediately after, Gen. Clinton evacuated Philadelphia.
He (Massie), marched under Gen. Morgan, through the city, pro
ceeded up and crossed the river, and united with the main army.
He, with Major Gibbs, was detailed to attend Gen. Morgan, wrho
was appointed to command the light troops, etc., to interrupt and
endeavor to retard the march of the British army through Jersey
VIRGINIA MILITIA IN THE REVOLUTION 51
to Sandy Hook. The first attempt to retard their march was made
at Allentown. This stopped them a day and some prisoners were
taken. The second attempt was a complete surprise, from thick
shrubbery in the pines, where 16 to 18 prisoners were brought off
and a few killed with little loss to the Americans. Several other
attempts were made to alarm and retard their march which succeeded
so far as to enable Gen. Washington to march with his main army
by Englishtown and obtain a position which gave him the power of
bringing Gen. Clinton to a general engagement, in which it is be
lieved he would have been entirely successful except for the flagrant
disobedience of orders by Gen. Chas. Lee, who commanded the van
of the American Army. On that, the 28th day of June, 1778 (an
intense hot day), Gen. Washington ordered Gen. Lee to attack in
full force. This, the said Massie, knows to be the fact, the orders
having been communicated verbally by Gen. Washington through
him (the said Massie), the evening before. On Gen. Lee's approach,
the British army drew up in order for battle. Gen. Lee ordered a
retreat which was done under a slow retreating fire for some time.
Gen. Lee repeatedly sent orders to the officers commanding the
several flanking corps not to advance and engage. This state of
things continued until Gen. Washington came into the field himself,
took the command, arrested Gen. Lee, and renewed the battle by-
bringing the troops into action. The battle at Monmouth Court
House was a bloody and hard fought action. After the sunset the
British army gave way, and it being too dark for pursuit, the Ameri
can army lay on the field for the night, with a view to renew the
battle the next day; but the British army in the night made a silent
and rapid retreat, leaving their dead and wounded. Gen. Morgan,
under whose command he, the said Massie, still acted was ordered to
pursue the British early next morning, but they could not be overtaken
except two or three hundred stragglers that were captured. Pursuit
was continued to Middleton Heights immediately above Sandy Hook.
After being there and thereabouts for several days, the troops march
ed up by Sposwood to Brunswick bridge on the Raritan River.
Here we had a feu de joie in honor of the victory of Monmouth.
From thence he marched to King's Ferry on the Hudson River
and crossed to the White Plains in New York. Here he remained
several weeks. From there, he, with several other officers, was order
ed to Rhode Island to assist Gen.- Sullivan at the siege of Newport,
52 VIRGINIA MILITIA ix THE REVOLUTION
then in the possession of the British. A violent storm, however,
with rain, etc., for several days having driven Count D'Estrey's
fleet from the mouth of the harbor out to sea, rendered it impracti
cable for Gen. Sullivan to proceed with the siege; he consequently
retired from the island, and the said Massie with the other officers
detached as above stated returned and rejoined their respective regi
ments then encamped on the Hudson some distance above West
Point, and on the opposite side.
Soon after this, the surprise and capture of Baylor's newly raised
regiment of cavalry near Heroington, happened, when he with his
regiment marched under the command of Gens. Woodford and
Morgan with their troops to that neighborhood and took post on
the strong heights of Paramus. By this time a large British force
(said to amount to 6,000), under the command of Lord Cornwallis,
had taken possession of the town of Hackensack, with a view of
foraging the country, in which they did not succeed to much extent,
owing to the vigilance of the American troops in attacking and re
pulsing their foraging parties. In a few weeks the British army
returned to New York, and the said Massie with his regiment under
the command of Col. Febiger was posted at Hackensack. Soon after
this Col. Febiger was called off, and the said Massie was left in the
sole command of the regiment. This was the second Virginia regi
ment on continental establishment. The officers were Captains Tay
lor, Parker, Calmen, Catlett, Stokes, Kennan, Gill, etc., as well as
recollected at the distant date. He continued there until after the
middle of December, when he with his command pursuant to orders
marched into winter quarters at Boundbrook, on the north side of
Raritan River (under the command of Gen. Lord Sterling, who
commanded that division of the army), where he continued quietly
for a considerable time. The British were confined to New York
and its environs and employed in arranging and strengthening their
posts of defense. Their embarcation of troops to our Southern States
and other occurrence demonstrated the intention of moving the main
seat of war there, with a view to attempt the subjugation of those
states. Time progressing, it was known that Congress had determined
to defend and save Charleston, if possible, and that the eight old
Virginia regiments were doomed to that service. Those (8) regi
ments were then so much reduced in number that they were con
solidated into (?) regiments (March, 1780). The officers whose
VIRGINIA MILITIA IN THE REVOLUTION 53
commissions bore the highest rank, of course, took the command.
The said Massie was of consequence a supernumerary officer, and,
with Gen. Washington's permission, returned to Virginia, holding
his commission (which he at this time has), ready and subject to
duty with other supernumerary officers whenever called on or re
quired.
He ranked as Major on the 20th of February, 1778, but did
not take his commission from the war office (not having leisure to
call for it), until the 20th of March, 1779. His commission as
captain was literally worn and rubbed out in his pocket while on
duty from the constant exposure to rain, hail and snow day and night.
He acted alternately, under the command of Gens. Scott, Weedon,
Sullivan, Morgan, Woodford, Gen. Lord Sterling, etc. He was
afterwards under the command of Gen. Nelson as aidecamp in the
winter of 1780 and 1781, when Arnold invaded Virginia and de
stroyed the public stores and houses at Richmond and arsenal and
foundry, etc., at Westham, and was finally at the siege of Yorktown,
and the surrender of that post w^ith the British army, in October,
1781.
After 'the ratification of the treaty of peace, he received five
thousand, three hundred and thirty-three and a third acres of land
in the states of Ohio and Kentucky (the patents for which he now
has), in consideration of his services as Major aforesaid. He like
wise received some three per cent and six per cent certificates, not
worth much at the time, afterwards sold, amount not recollected.

Henderson to guard the frontier. Began service in May at Cook's
Fort. Marched across New River through the present
County of Giles, then thinly peopled, and served as ranger, being on
76 VIRGINIA MILITIA IN THE REVOLUTION
constant duty. The next spring volunteered under Capt. Archibald
Wood to serve so long as the Indians might be troublesome. In the
fall the company marched up Bluestone to the settlement near its
head, to protect the people gathering their fodder. He was in places
where probably few persons except Indians had ever been. Thus
served four years (excepting one year that he and two others were
detailed as spies by Capt. Woods), arduously and almost constantly
ranging back and forth from Cook's fort to Wood's fort on Rich
Creek. The country was wild and mountainous. Frequently he car
ried orders in the night time, when he could hear not far off the
yell, the whistle, or the weary tread of the savage. If orders were to
be sent express he was the man generally selected. Such service,
however difficult or dangerous, he always performed, and as he be
lieves to the full satisfaction of his captain and fellow-soldiers.
During the year that himself, Philip Cavender, and Nicholas Wood-
fin were detailed as spies by Capt. Wood, he served at the imminent
hazard of his life, lying out by night with no covering but his
blanket and no shelter but the forest, the scream of the panther or
the yell of the Indian reminded him of his duty to his country.
After four years Capt. Gray, of Rockbridge took command of the
company. In the spring of 1782, all signs of the savage disappearing
from near the settlements, he left the service. When ordered by
Capt. Gray to the head of Bluestone, after marching twenty miles,
all but himself refused to go further. An old man named McGuire
wished to go to the settlement, and one David Clay showing the
way, we started and soon found wre were pursued by some 10 or 12
Indians. Sometimes we were in mud to our knees, or in water to
our necks. At dark the pursuers set up a tremendous yell, but we
heard no more of them, and at length arrived where we were
ordered, declarant having traveled 40 miles that day after nine in
the morning.

PRYOR, WILLIAM.— Amherst, Oct. 15, 1832. Born in
Albemarle (now Amherst), about 1752. Moved to the Great
Kanawha in fall of 1773, and planted corn next spring, but was
driven back to Amherst by Indians. Was at Point Pleasant, spring
of 1775, and there saw Capt. Isaac Shelby, who had been left with
the wounded after the battle the preceding October. Early in 1776
the Indians were so troublesome that he, with many others had to
take shelter in the fort at Point Pleasant, and here substituted for
James Frazer, in the command of Capt. Matthew Arbuckle, who
was in charge of the fort. The subalterns were Lieutenants Andrew
Wallace, James Thompson and Ensigns Samuel Wood and James
McNutt. After serving out eight months for Frazer in the fall
he enlisted under Arbuckle for two years. About this time Capt.
William McKee, Lt. James Gilmer, and many privates came to
Point Pleasant and were stationed under Arbuckle. Was often
sent on detail with others up the Kanawha to a plantation to get
corn, and was often a spy or on guard on the Ohio above the fort.
In the fall of 1777, Colonels Skillern and Dickinson came on an
expedition against the Shawnee towns. He met this force at the
mouth of Elk. Among others of them were James Harrison and
Micajah Goodwin. When they reached the fort, Lt. Gilmer went
over the Kanawha to shoot turkeys and was there killed by unknown
Indians. As soon as Gilmer's body was brought to the fort his men
murdered Cornstalk, his son Ellinipsico, and another Indian, these
Indians being held as hostages for the safety of the garrison and
the settlers. While Skillern and Dickenson were at Point Pleasant,
Gen. Hand, of the Continental army, came from Pittsburg and
ordered a return, saying it was too late in the season to attack
Chillicothe and other Indian towns. Hand ordered Arbuckle and
McKee to shorten the pay and daily allowance of their men, saying
they feasted too high. When this order was put into execution
almost every man in the fort shouldered his gun and put on his
knapsack, resolving to go home. But Col. McDowell told Hand
of the impolicy of such measure and obtained permission to address
the men, who on being promised their former pay and allowance,
returned to duty. He himself took no part in the mutiny. Because
of the murder of Cornstalk, the Shawnees, in the spring of 1778,
VIRGINIA MILITIA IN THE REVOLUTION 85
mustered all their strength and besieged Point Pleasant several days.
They killed Paddy Sherman and wounded Lt. Gilmer. Finding
they could not take the fort they killed all the stock of the garrison
and then started for the Greenbrier settlements. We knew of this
from the Grenadier Squaw, said to be a sister of Cornstalk. She
had taken shelter in the fort soon after its erection, and continued
with us. When her own stock was killed she went out with spirits
and became intoxicated, but overheard the Indians and told the
officers of their plans. Capt. McKee then proposed that if any
two men would go out and warn the Greenbrier people, he would
so extend their furloughs as to be equivalent to a discharge, which
itself he could not grant. John Inchminger and John Logan
accepted and started, but returned the same evening. Philip Ham
mond and myself then agreed to go, but I gave way to my older brother,
John, whom Hammond preferred and who was more experienced
in Indian wrarfare. They were dressed in Indian style by the
Granadier Squaw, and passed the Indians at some meadow about
12 miles from Donally's fort. They gave information and the set
tlers had been in the fort but a little while wrhen the Indians
attacked and a dreadful conflict ensued. Capt. Arbuckle was then
in Greenbrier visiting his family. He and Capt. Lewis raised a
company and forced their way into the fort. The Indians were
driven off with much loss and Greenbrier was thus saved. During
this expedition of the Indians, Gen. Clark stopped at Point Pleasant
on his way to take Vincennes. In the autumn of 1778, there was
a man in the fort named Morgan who had been a prisoner among
the Indians many )-ears. A squawT with him was said to be his
wife. Morgan was in custody and ironed, and was to be taken to
his father who had offered a large reward for his return. But
finding himself lightly guarded, he and the squaw ran off and were
never again heard of. Suspecting he would reach the Indian towns
and tell that our time wTas nearly out, and that many of us would
soon leave, the officers discharged many, including myself. In 1779
was drafted from Amherst for a three months' tour a little below
Richmond. He served under Capt. Samuel Higgenbotham, of Col.
Christian's regiment, and among his comrades were Zedekiah Shu-
maker, William Brown, and Samuel Allen. In 1780, he was out
three months under Capt. Richard Ballinger, serving at Fort Powha-
tan, below Richmond, now (1832), Fort Jefferson. Among his com-
86 VIRGINIA MILITIA IN THE REVOLUTION
rades this tour were an elder brother, Nicholas Pryor, and Richard
Tankersly.
Zedekiah Shumaker certified he served with declarant at Point
Pleasant and below Richmond.
NOTE: — In a memorial of James Huston, who moved from the Cow-
pasture River to Kentucky, in 1783, and died there in 1818, aged 92, it is
stated that he was out on a scout the day before the attack on Donally's
Fort, and by means of his dog detected the approach of the Indians, and
was thus enabled to warn the settlement. Houston's wife was Nancy
McCreery, and he settled in Fayette County.

twenty-eight prisoners and some supplies were taken. Another guard
was sent off with the new prisoners, the rest of the force joining
Gen. Morgan about 36 hours before the battle of the Cowpens.
In the night the army moved about half a mile to the place chosen
for a fight. Men were left to keep up the fires till daylight. The
battle began about sunrise. Declarant was in the riflemen, on the
right of the army, and in the third company from the right. They
had the pleasure of taking 600 prisoners. Then the army moved
back before Cornwallis' army to Salisbury, where declarant's com

lated for the smallpox. In February, 1778, the troop marched to
the Raritan, and next month to Valley Forge. Here the Fourth
Troop, to which he belonged, commanded by Capt. Cadwallader
Jones, was employed by Gen. Morgan in preventing the people of the
county from furnishing supplies to the enemy and in watching the
movements of the latter. In the action at Monmouth, affiant wras
under the immediate command of Maj. Clough, of Lee's division.
The regiment then proceeded to Hackensack, remaining there five

by Gen. Gray while asleep in barns. No quarter was given except
to the Fourth Troop, all of wThom were made prisoners, except
affiant and John Walker, who escaped by getting in among the
enemy. Col. Baylor was wounded and Maj. Clough was killed.
Next day affiant joined the remnant of the regiment and wintered

Troop, now exchanged, and by some new recruits. Col. William
Washington now took command, and they returned to New Jersey,
again being employed in watching the enemy and preventing trading

at Monk's Corner. The attack was so sudden that although the
horses were saddled and bridled, there wras not time to mount.
Affiant was captured and after being dragged about with the army
of Cornwallis some ten days, was put into a prison ship till after the
surrender of Charleston. He was then placed in the barracks, there,

for six months, but order to march did not come till Oct. 27. Went
out under Capt. James Robinson, Nov. 5, were joined by Capt.
Alexander Handly's company, and marching under Maj. David
Campbell joined Morgan two days after the battle of the Co\vpens.
There took the place of the Augusta and Rockbridge militia, who
were about to be discharged. They acted bravely in the battle and
guarded the prisoners to Virginia. Affiant's command was sent
down the Catawba to act in concert with Gen. Davidson at Mc-
Cowan's Ford, and by felling timber along the bank to prevent the
enemy from crossing. A few hours after this preparation had been
made a detachment of the enemy appeared on the opposite bank.
As we were about to fire on them they retired. Before daylight next
morning the British opened a heavy artillery fire on Gen. Davidson,
who commanded lower down the river. After daylight they forced
the passage and Davidson was killed. Meanwhile in a cold dark
dash with heavy rain, the affiant's command got into the road on which
Gen. Morgan was retreating and came up with it on the Yadkin,
which was very much swollen by the rains. It was daybreak before
the North Carolina militia got over, and took position a half mile up
the river from the direct road to Salisbury. Next night they were
attacked by a strong detachment of infantry supported by cavalry,
and compelled to retreat. The army got over with the exception of
a small part of the baggage. The last boat had put off when the
British cavalry reached the river and fired on it with pistols, but
without effect. In our skirmish, Capt. Hanley and John Allen
were taken prisoners and a few men killed. The most of those
who escaped had to cross the river in canoes. When the scattered
troops assembled they marched to Guilford C. H., where they were
permitted to rest a while, the enemy being detained by the flood in
the Yadkin. Then they marched to Bruce's crossroad on the way
where Col. - - was cut to pieces by the British cavalry. The
retreat continued till the Dan was crossed. After the Yadkin was
crossed the army was commanded by Col. Williams. From the day
after the battle of Cowpens they were employed night and day in
throwing every possible difficulty in the enemy's path. The men
VIRGINIA MILITIA IN THE REVOLUTION 115
were without tents and often without provisions. The fatigue, pri
vation, and loss of sleep brought on sickness and death in that in
clement season. When the two rifle companies crossed the Dan the
111 men were reduced to 17, and there were no officers but the
major, who gave the remnant a verbal discharge, affiant being one
of the 17. He volunteered Aug. 6, 1781, and marched to the siege
of Yorktown under Maj. Patrick Locke, and after the surrender
guarded prisoners to four miles beyond Winchester, where he w7as

teered in a company of 50 under Capt. Jesse Saunders, Lt. David
Caldwell, and Ensign Carter, of Col. Dick's and Maj. Thomas' regi
ments. Two companies of infantry were in two miles in front of the
main army toward Arnold's line. We often skirmished, killed some of
the enemy and taking some prisoners. Capt. Armand, a Frenchman
who commanded a company of light horse, charged on the enemy's
guard and took them all, without a gun being fired on either side.
The enemy at one time came out of their wrorks and fired on us, but
on our advance they retired. Our only damage was one man wounded
in the thigh. We marched against a fort on the Blackwater held
by the British, who fired on us with cannon, but for wrant of artillery
we made no attack. After dark they sent a boat down the river
for reinforcements. We took the boat with an officer, eight men,
and some clothing. We also took some horses around the fort.
Arnold evacuated Portsmouth in March. We were discharged in
April. Middle of next August called out under Capt. Andrew
Wallace and marched for Yorktown to join Washington's army.
When within two miles we laid out our camp and went to digging
trenches. Affiant and three others of company were employed in

artillery service. We began firing Oct. 9th, and after a few days
moved our guns nearer. Generals Lafeyette, Wayne, and Lincoln
I saw frequently writh the men in the entrenchments. Gen Knox,
the commander of the artillery, was one day at one of the batteries
looking through his spyglass, when a cannon ball struck the top of
the post by which he was standing. A splinter struck his ear and
made it bleed freely. After the surrender, Sergeant Elijah Clark,

KINCAID, JAMES.— Lafayette County, Mo., Nov. 5, 1833.
Entered service while living at Castlewood on Clinch, 25 miles from
Abingdon. The settlers in Powell's Valley had been driven out by
Indians, and many of them hid their "plunder," not being able to
bring it to a place of safety. Capt. John Duncan and company
were ordered out to guard the people so that they might bring their
goods into the settlements. Applicant wras one year with him.
Capt. Joseph Martin was at this time stationed at Rye Cave on
Clinch to guard the frontier. The brothers, John and James,
Bunnil (?) were scouts under him. We met these spies and went
with them to Martin's Station in said valley, but all had fled.
One refugee, Capt. (Robert?) Davis met us. He had lived at
Owen's Station, ten miles below Martin's. Duncan sent five men
to go with him to Owen's to collect his "plunder." On the way
back Indians in ambush fired on them, killing Bowman and woun-
ing James Bunnill and - - Johnson. Bunnill, Davis, and another
man got in that night. Next day Duncan went dowrn with all his
force, including affiant,- save a few left to guard the wrounded.
Davis took us to where an Indian stood that he shot at. We
found a good deal of blood and followed the trail, but after a
while it seemed that the party scattered. We buried Bowman and
returned to Owen's. Bunnill grew very sick and we took him to
Rye Cave. All were dismissed in about a month. The above took
place 1776 (?) in summer time. Next went to Kentucky under
Col. John Bowman, of Bedford, Henry Rolling ( ?) being captain,
152 VIRGINIA MILITIA IN THE REVOLUTION
and made for - - Station. Near Abingdon one William Bush
told our captain he would raise a lieutenant's quoto (24 men), if
he could command it under Rollins. He secured the men, affiant
and brother Joseph enlisting by consent of father. Overtook Bow
man at ford of Cumberland River and joined company of Capt.
Paulin (?). Arrived at Boonesboro about August, 1777. The only
other stations in Kentucky wrere Logan's and Harrod's. Stayed
16 to 20 days to let the people get in their corn, which they could
not do the year before, because of the Indians. Col. Galloway,
who lived with his family in the fort, expected to return with
Bowman, but failed to catch up. When he came back to the fort
reported a man killed on the trail we had come by, and that the
Indians had massacred seven or eight families around Castlewood.
Affiant and brother and several others became uneasy about the home
folks, and the colonel granted a discharge. On the way back we
met the Clinch scouts, who confirmed the report and said the
families not killed had fled. We had been gone about 50 days.
Next expedition was to Illinois under Col. John Montgomery.
About 130 men and recruits were sent to Clarke and Montgomery,
and it was understood by us that the army would go to Detroit.
Affiant and brother, Joseph, enlisted. At Long Island in Holston
we were met by Col. Evan Shelby and 40 militia, and wrent by
canoes to Chicamauga, where in a skirmish we killed a few, took
some prisoners, stayed two months, and collected a good deal of
Indian plunder. Shelby returned and Montgomery wrent to join
Clarke.

PART III.
The lists here given for the counties of Albemarle, Amelia, Bed
ford, Berkley, Botetourt, Caroline, Chesterfield, Cumberland, Fau-
quier, Fluvanna, Frederick, Goochland, Greenbrier, Henrico,
Loudoun, Louisa, Orange, Powhatan, Rockbridge, and Spottsyl-
vania, were compiled directly from the County Order Book, ex
cepting Albemarle (in part), and Spottsylvania. The records of
Fluvanna and Greenbrier were found somewhat deficient, and those
of Henrico were very much wanting. Nothing was found in Buck
ingham, Culpeper, Dinwiddie, Fairfax, Hampshire, Nottoway, Prince
George, Prince William, or Stafford.
These lists give the date of nomination or commission, and
wherever possible, the captains under whom the lieutenants and en
signs served. It is evident that the record was not alwrays complete.
In some instances an officer was undoubtedly sworn in, although only
the date of recommendation can be found on the Order Book.
Where a name, as of "John Smith," appears twice, it is because
it is not clear that in each instance the same person is designated.
And as a higher rank usually means that the officer has previously
served in one or more lower grades, only the highest rank found is
given in the lists.
Where a date is given without any explanatory mark, it means
that the person is known to have held the indicated rank in the year
mentioned.
The special abbreviations used are the following:
Co. Lt. — County Lieutenant.
Cp. — Captain,
Lt. — Lieutenant (when there is nothing to show whether
