Pittsylvania Militia Co. & Revolutionary War

Bill Barker commented in last week's OkieLegacy eZine, Feature #6006 -- "Four of my ancestors were in the Pittsylvania Militia Company under the command of Capt. Joseph Martin (Later Gen. Joseph Martin agent to the Cherokees for the United States and Virginia during the Revolution).

They were John Barker and three of his sons John, Joel, and Charles. The Company was not at the Battle of Point Pleasant, but were on a scouting mission to the south making sure no Cherokee Indian reinforcements joined the Battle."   |  View or Add Comments (1 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
