"In September 1777 he was drafted for three months service in the Virginia Militia. Under Capt. Anthony Rader's command, he marched to the headwaters of the Greenbrier River to Fort Work to protect the people from attack by the hostile Indians. (Headwaters of the Greenbrier River are in or near Monroe County, Virginia = now West Virginia). I was frequently sent out by my Captain as a spy against the Indians. In performing this duty as a spy, I ranged through the country in the neighborhood of Fort Work. I was discharged at the end of the three months and returned to Rockingham County. In July 1778, I was again drafted for the Virginia Militia to serve against the Indians under Capt. Abram Linkhorn, which company belonged to the regiment commanded by Col. Benjamin Harrison. I was marched to a point on the Ohio River, about fifty miles below Fort Pitt, where I joined General McIntosh's service. At that point, during a month, I helped build Fort McIntosh. I was then marched to the headquarters of the Tuscawaras River in the Northwest Territory in pursuit of hostile Indians. There I helped build Fort Senuance. (Massilon = Canton, Ohio area.) I remained there several weeks during which time General McIntosh made a treaty with the indians. I served four months during this period. I was discharged and returned to Rockingham County. In August 1781, I was again drafted and served under Capt. Bags in Col. Darke's Regiment. I was marched to Yorktown which was occupied by the British Army under General Cornwallis. We joined General Washington before Yorktown. I remained in active service before said town until three days before the surrender of Cornwallis. I received my discharge and returned to Rockingham County, Virginia."
