The records at the National Archives and Virginia Archives document that John Judy enlisted for three years in the 11th Virginia Regiment, Captain George Rice’s Company, commanded in turn by Colonel Daniel Morgan; Lieutenant Colonel Nichols; Colonel Christian Febiger and Major Thomas Snead. The Virginia Archive records also indicate “John Judy, Soldier, Artillery Corps.”
John Judy married Phoebe LeMaster of French descent, in 1783 in Virginia. In 1788, John Judy left Virginia to what is now Mt. Sterling, Kentucky and obtained 100 acres of land. In approximately early summer 1790 he moved his family to Montgomery County, Kentucky where he obtained another 100 acres of land due to his “War Bounty” rights and it was here he became friends with Daniel Boone. In 1793, John Judy left Kentucky for Greene County, Ohio where he served on its first Grand Jury. He died on 27 April 1841 in Union County, Ohio.

Send a biographical sketch of your patriot!
Patriot biographies must be the original work of the author, and work submitted must not belong to another person or group, in observance with copyright law. Patriot biographies are to be written in complete sentences, follow the established rules of grammar, syntax and punctuation, be free of typographical errors, and follow a narrative format. The narrative should unfold in a logical manner (e.g. the narrative does not jump from time period to time period) or have repeated digressions, or tell the history of the patriot's line from the patriot ancestor to the author. The thinking here is that this is a patriot biography, not a lineage report or a kinship determination project or other report published in a genealogy journal. The biography should discuss the qualifying service (military, patriotic, civil) of the patriot ancestor, where the service was rendered, whether this was a specific state or Continental service, as well as significant events (as determined by the author) of the patriot's life. This is the entire purpose of a patriot's biography.
