James Hunt. Born in 1703, my GGGGG-Grandfather was 74 years old when he served in the Revolutionary War as a soldier from Virginia. He served in Captain Thomas Tweet’s 14th VA regiment as a corporal. In 1779 he was Sgt Major in the 10th regiment. He is last found on the muster rolls December 9, 1779. He lived for eighteen years after serving his new country.
Elijah Hunt, Sr. My GGGG-Granduncle Elijah Sr. was born about 1734. DAR records show that he did Civil Service and Patriotic Service in Virginia.
Elijah Hunt, My GGG-Grandfather Elijah served with the Virginia Militia during the war of 1812 under Captain Charles Harris as a private. His pension application is available from the VA State Library over the web. The application shows that he is aged and destitute, and there are supporting papers to show that he had served long enough to earn his pension.
