Nathan Veatch was born 1752 in Maryland and died 1829 in Harrison Co., Indiana.
Nathan is son of Revolutionary War Soldier James Veatch, Jr. Nathan's father fought and died for liberty at the Battle of Camden, SC in 1780. Nathan took up the cause of freedom and as a soldier at The Battle of King's Mountain, SC soundly whipped the British Army, sending them from the field in disgrace.
But Nathan was not finished with war. He settled in Sevier County, TN and was again called to fight against the Cherokee Indians.
After a time he moved to Indiana Territory, arriving in 1811. But again, peace was not to be. Nathan with sons Nathan Jr., Kinzey and Elijah answered the call joining the Militia in Harrison County to fight in the War of 1812.
There were four families of note that fought for and pioneered Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana, and Illinois together. They were the Shield, Kingery, Onion, and Saffer families. We find their descendents and family members in all those locations, buried together as they had lived and fought for freedom, side by side.
The Hoosier Elm Chapter placed a marker for him in 1971. There was another Memorial Service for him in the late 1990's when Little Flock Cemetery was again saved from the encroaching forest.
One child was Elizabeth Veatch, married Mimrod PAYTON in Harrison County, Indiana.
Ernie Routh is a descendant working to prove lineage and join SAR.
