Author: John Philip Hysell
Frederick Hisle was born in Augusta/Culpeper County, VA in about 1750 to German immigrant John Barnhisle, who had arrived in Philadelphia on the ship Samuel in 1732. He was married 3 times: 1) Catherine LNU 2) Nancy Smith and 3) Susannah Christina Sisson. According to his pension testimony, Frederick's Revolutionary War service included three tours of three months each as a Private in Captain John Robert's Co., Col. Francis Taylor's 7th Virginia Regiment and later as hostler with Major Strode. Frederick served for a time with his brother, Benjamin, in a company of Virginia Militia at Fort Liberty (July 1779). He was also stationed as a guard at Albemarle Barracks, where the Convention troop prisoners from the surrender of British General John Burgoyne's army to American General Horatio Gates on 17 October 1777 at the Battle of Saratoga were held.

In 1803 records of Culpeper County, Frederick was having trouble with his debts as indicated by being named as a debtor in various estate records and in lawsuits for merchant Edward Pendleton. Thus, by 1804, he had moved his family to Gallia County, OH where he applied for a pension in 1818, which stated him to be an infirm farmer with serious rheumatic pain and in much reduced circumstances. At his death on 23 June 1838, he was receiving a pension of $8 per month. He was buried in Gravel Hill or Pioneer 1 cemetery in Middleport, Salisbury Twp. Meigs County, OH.

On 26 May 2001, the Ewings Chapter of the SAR dedicated a new grave marker for Frederick in a special ceremony in Middleport, OH. It was complete with Posting of Colors by the West Virginia Society Color Guard, an invocation, Pledge of Allegiance, a biography reading, playing of taps and a reception attended by some of his descendants, who still live in the area. Most of those present signed a guest book.

It's unfortunate that Frederick's name on the tombstone is spelled Hisel, since that was the least common spelling of his name. It was initially Barnhisle, later Hisle in VA and finally, Hysell, for the families who had moved to 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.
