The image on the left shows what seems to be the following: "John Andrew, C. of W. & Eliza A. Warwick, 1st Lt. Co. G. 11. VA. Cav., Rosser's Brigade A. N. Va., Mar. 30, 1837, May 29, 1900, By Faith we are saved.

Highland County Virginia - Dunmore War & Revolution

In chapter 10, page 100, The History of Highland County, by Oren F. Morton, deals with The Dunmore War of 1774, Battle of Point Pleasant, the Revolution, Augusta Men in the War and slight outward change under Independence. From 1764 until 1774 there was a nominal peace with the Indians. It was the summer of 1774 that persistent pressure of the white settlers led to outrages as war broke out. Governor Dunmore led a force down the Ohio from Wheeling, while General Andrew Lewis, with militia of the Valley re-enforced by a few troops from Bedford and Culpepper, marched down the Great Kanawha, reaching Point Pleasant early in October.
