Born on May 6, 1754, Pennsylvania. In May 1777 he enlisted at Redstone Settlement, on the Susquehanna River, Pennsylvania, under Colonel McCoy commanding the 8th Regiment. He was in the battle at Bound Brook, New Jersey, where he received a wound in his leg and was discharged by Colonel Brodhead who was in command in 1780. Later he was captured by the Indians at Dunkard Creek, Pennsylvania, and taken to what is now Detroit, Michigan. He Died on January 25, 1836, at the age of 81. Burial location unknown. { Works Progress Administration (WPA) Revolutionary War Veteran burial records in Ohio; Cincinnati-Hamilton County Public Library, History/Genealogy department.} His wife was Sarah Hubler. In June 1818 he was in Cincinnati, Hamilton County, Ohio, aged 64 years. Revolutionary War Soldiers, Buried in Hamilton County, Ohio”; Little Miami Publ. Co. Milford, Ohio, 2010. By DAR, Cincinnati Chapter. Many veterans buried in family cemeteries, neighborhood plots or small church burial grounds which are now extinct and or built over during the disappearance of rural areas and the increase of urban communities in Hamilton County during the late 19th century or 20th century are now lost to our knowledge. Their families having re-located, their descendants now not knowing their homes, deeds, and/or burial locations lead to their obscurity.
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.
