Author: James English Vaughn Jr.
Manoah Nathaniel Hawkins Singleton was born 16 January 1744 in St. Thomas Parish, Orange County (previously Spotsylvania County), Virginia, and he died in 1818. Manoah’s parents were Daniel Singleton (1719 – 1792) and Susannah Mason (1722 – 1972). Both Daniel and Susannah were born in England. Manoah married Sarah (Sally) Craig (1748 – 1834) on January 10, 1765 in Orange County, Virginia. He is buried with his wife on the Singleton (now Davis) farm, near Keene, in Jessamine County, Kentucky. Manoah and Sally had a large family of thirteen children, Jechoniah, Elizabeth, Susannah, Sarah, Mason, Mary, Hannah, Anna, Mary, Jane, Martha, Joannah and Susan.
Manoah Singleton had a variety of military appointments during his service in the American Revolutionary War. He is listed as a Lieutenant with the Virginia Continental Line and also as being in the Orange County, Virginia Militia in 1777. In 1778, he was an “Overseer of Road” in Orange County, Virginia before moving to Kentucky. Between 1780 and 1782, Manoah served as a Private in the Kentucky Militia under Captains William Hogan and James Ray. He also is a NSDAR Ancestor (A104463) for his defense of Bryan’s Station, Kentucky against three hundred and fifty Canadian Rangers and Wyandot Indians who were laying siege to the Station in August of 1782. His wife, Sarah (Sally) Craig Singleton, also is listed as a NSDAR Ancestor (A104471) and a NSSAR Patriot (P-140299) for her role in the defense of Bryan’s Station, Kentucky.

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.
