Here are abstracts of the most important documents in the file: Rockingham County On July 4, 1840, appeared Elizabeth McDaniel, a resident of Rockingham Co., age 79 yrs. Widow of John McDaniel. John served in the Rev. War, in a company of cavalry or light horse. He came to her father's house very shortly after the war, wearing a horseman's cap covered with bearskin and a blue coat trimmed with red. Elizabeth was married to John within 2-3 yrs. after end of the war. Her maiden name was Elizabeth Crawford. John has been dead 29 or 30 yrs. Rockingham County On July 4, 1840, appeared Zachariah Crawford, age 65 or 66 yrs. Well acquainted with John McDaniel. Remembers that John came to the house of Zachariah's father when Zachariah was 6 or 7 yrs. old, shortly after end of Rev. War, wearing a horseman cap covered with bearskin and other soldier's clothing. John was taken prisoner at Charlestown, S.C., but was soon exchanged. John was in the cavalry or light horse during part of his enlistment, and was under the command of Capt. Laird during part of his enlistment. John has been dead 29 yrs. [Marriage bond] John McDonold and John Ewing of Rockingham Co. are bound to Patrick Henry, Governor, in the sum of 50 pounds. Executed this ___ day of 1786 in the 11th yr. of the Commonwealth. Condition: The above John McDonold hath this day obtained license to marry Elizabeth Crawford, dau. of Martin Crawford of this County. Rockingham County On July 4, 1840, appeared James Meadows, age 78 yrs. Well acquainted with John McDaniel. John was enlisted for the Rev. War by Capt. David Laird in Orange County. James's brother, Francis Meadows, was enlisted under Capt. Laird at the same time. !The following item appears in Chalkley's Chronicles, vol. I, page 496: "June 19, 1764. John Ramsey chosen guardian by Mary McDonall aged 16; John McDonall aged 14; and the Court appoints him guardian for Francis, Hugh, Rebecca, William, Elizabeth and Samuel McDonnall, all orphans of John McDonall." The orphan John of this record would have been born about 1750, which seems too early compared to my John McDaniel's 1786 marriage. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
