APPENDIX I REVOLUTIONARY SOLDIERS
The following
list of Revolutionary Soldiers from Southwest Virginia has been compiled from
sources believed to be absolutely reliable, and it is confidently believed
that, while this list of soldiers is by no means complete or that it contains
more than a small part of the men who participated in the war that won for us
our independence and liberties, still that in every instance it will be found
reliable.
This list was
obtained from the following sources:
(1) The Court
records of Botetourt, Fincastle,
(2) The History
of Southwest Virginia by Summers, Lewis Battle of Point Pleasant,
Dunmore's War, by Thwaites; List of Revolutionary
Soldiers, published by the Virginia State Library and compiled by H. J. Eckenrode; and from fifteen bound books of letters received
from descendants of soldiers by the author during the past twenty-five years.
