     Effa McElwain, a daughter of Nancy Rector) McElwain, was born

about 1754.  She married Vinett Fine. He was a son of Thomas Sr. and

Agnes (Merchant) Fine.  Vinett was killed by Indians in NC in February

1784. In the Winter of 1783, Indians began to steal horses and cattle

from the Big Pigeon settlements in Cocke County TN. Major Peter Fine and

Captain John McNabb raised a company of men and followed the Indians

across the mountains into North Carolina, where they killed one Indian

and wounded another, but recovered the stolen horses. The Indians fired

upon them, killing Vinett Fine, and wounding Thomas Holland, and a man

by the name of Bingham. Because there was no time for grave-digging and

apparently no safety in trying to escape with the body, the ice in the

creek was broken and the body placed there. Before the men could return

for it, the creek became flooded by a sudden change in temperature, and

the body was washed away and was never recovered. To this day, the creek

is known as Fine's Creek. Fine's Branch, in 1998, is in Cocke County,

TN.

    Later, Effa married Reuben Redaford.  Effa reportedly had three

children with Reuben Redaford, but nothing is known of them.

     Tunis Anthony McElwain was a son of George Thomas Jr. and Nancy

(Rector)McElwain. His monument in the Ball-Winter cemetery in Calhoun

County WV gives a birth date of  August 19, 1773 and death date of

November 4, 1851. However, his pension file contains a December 10, 1833

deposition stating that he was 74 years on the date of the deposition. A

Virginia Militia record states that he was 75 years old March 4, 1831.

Since his claim for a Revolutionary War service pension was validated,

he was probably born about 1760.

    He married Catherine Propst in Pendleton County, VA in 1792.

Catharine, a daughter of George Frederick and Barbara (Swadley/Pence)

Probst,  was born March 15, 1772 and died August 4, 1849 in Calhoun

County, VA (WV). In 1797, the family moved from Pendleton County to

Franklin County, VA and lived there until 1802, when they returned to

Pendleton County, where they remained until 1812.  In 1812 they moved to

the banks of the Elk River and settled at the mouth of the Holly River.

Tunis had 54 acres surveyed October 18, 1815 and received a land grant

from the Commonwealth of Virginia December 30, 1816. In 1830, the

family moved to the West Fork of the Little Kanawha River in Kanawha

County, VA near the present site of Arnoldsburg, Calhoun County, WV.

The 1850 Gilmer County census lists Tunis in the household of his son

in law, Soloman Nicholas.

     Tunis Anthony and Catherine (Propst) McElwain are buried in the

Ball-Winter Cemetary, near Arnoldsburg, Calhoun County, WV.

        The following is from Tunis McElwain's Revolution War Pension

file S9043 and was quoted in "Calhoun County Lines and Links" for

October 1998.

 

STATE OF VIRGINIA

KANAWHA COUNTY

 

    On this 10th day of December, 1833, personally appeared before me

the subscriber a Justice of the peace in and for said Kanawha County in

the State of Virginia, Tunis Mucklewaine a resident of Kanawha County in

the State of Virginia aged 74 years who being first duly sworn according

to law doth on his oath make the following declaration in order to

obtain the benefits of the act of Congress of the 9th June 1832.  That

he entered the service of the United States under the following named

officers and served as herein stated.  That in August 1776, he

volunteered as an Indian Spy for three months under Captain Robert Davis

in what is now Pendleton County in, Virginia that he was marched to

Evicks Fort and placed under Colonel Gregg.  He with others of Captain

Davis Company was ordered to spy westward in the North Fork and Seneca

and as far as the top of the Allegany mountains which separates the

waters that falls into Cheat river from those of the North fork and

other waters of the South Branch of Potomac.  He done so until in

November 1776 when he was discharged by Captain Davis.  Then in March

1777 he volunteered to serve six months as an Indian Spy under the same

Captain Robert Davis.  Captain Davis was this year under Col.  Hutton,

he was again ordered to spy from Eviks fort to a fort at a place called

the upper tract and so westward on the North fork and its waters around

their sources to the top of the Allegany.  This year a man named Wilfong

was returning home with a web from the weavers and a keg of five gallons

of whiskey was taken prisoner by the Indians.  On the succeeding night

on the head of a right hand branch of Seneca creek, which empties into

the North fork, he procured the Indians all to be drunk on the whiskey

and escaped from them came to the fort at the tract and gave his

narrative.  Captain Davis with 20 chosen men of which declarent was one,

pursued the Indians.  We found their trail and pursued them through what

is now called Tygarts valley in Randolph County crossing Leading creek,

Sugar creek and the valley river below where Booths or Anglin's ferry

now is into and through Harrison and Tyler Counties now West Augusta

then to the Ohio river near the mouth of Middle Island.  We could not

overtake them, we returned much fatigued from a long march with scanty

provisions.  Continued to spy as before until in September when he was

discharged having served six months this tour as an Indian Spy.  Then in

March 1778 he again volunteered to spy for six months in a company

commanded by Captain McCoy in that part of Virginia which is now

Pendleton County in Virginia the same place where his above recited

service was performed although it was then Augusta County.  His Captain

McCoy rondevoued at Shrivers fort at the upper tract in now Pendleton

County, Va. under the command of Col.  Dyer.  He was ordered again to

spy westward in what is now Pendleton County across the North fork as

well as up and down it, and up Seneca creek to report at Shrivers and

Evicks forts every two weeks, this done till September 1778 when he was

discharged having served six months this tour as a private and Indian

Spy.  Then again in May 1779 he again volunteered under Captain Trimble

for six months as an Indian Spy in what is now Pendleton County in Va.

He was ordered to what is now called Randolph County to Wilson's fort

and ordered to spy across the county toward Buckhannon and back every

two weeks.  This he did till in November late when he was discharged,

this year the command was given to Col. Duvall who was what was in those

days in Virginia called "County Lieutenant." He was for many years in

that part of Virginia a brave and vigilant officer.

    In April 1780 he again volunteered in what is now Randolph County in

Virginia under a Captain Stuart to act as an Indian Spy.  He was ordered

to spy from Wilsons fort to Buckhannon thence back to Westfalls fort in

Taygarts Valley 15 miles above'Wilsons and down the valley by Cassadays

fort, two and a half miles above where Beverely Town now stands in

Randolph County thence to Wilsons fort every two weeks, this he did till

late in the month of October, 1780, when he was discharged having served

six months this year as a private and Indian Spy.  Again in March 1781

he was ordered out as an Indian Spy in what is now Randolph County under

Captain Bogard by Col.  Duvall for six months.  He was ordered to spy in

what is now Randolph, Lewis and Nicholas Counties and report to

Buckhannon Warrecks and Cassadys forts, this he did from in March 1781

till in September of the same year when he was discharged after a hard

and perilous service of full six months.  In this year Comwallis was

captured and in 1782 he volunteered for three months in March under the

command of Captain Bogard and Col.  Duvall.  He was ordered to perform

the same routine of duty which he did in 1781 till in June 1782.  There

being more men remaining at home this year than usual he performed no

more service this year.  In 1783 he again volunteered in March to serve

three months under Captain Wilson, Col.  Westford, he spied on the same

ground performing the same tours of service reporting to the same forts

which he did in 1781 and 1782 till in June 1783 when he was discharged

having served three months in each of the years 1782 and 1783 as private

and Indian Spy.  This was the last service during the continuance of the

revolutionary war, but he acted as an Indian Spy, a ranger or scout

every year after down to the year 1795.  He served during the revolution

not less than three years and three months as a private and Indian Spy

during the revolution from 1776 till 1783 including both years.  He saw

no general officers that he now remembers, nor did he see any regular

troops.  He saw militia and Indian Spys a kind of mixed service.  He

knew Col.  Gregg, Hulton, Matthews, Dyer, Westfall and Lowther.  He does

not now remember the numbers or names of regts.  He has no documentary

evidence.  He knows of no person whose testimony he can procure who can

testify to his services.  He hereby relinqiushes every claim whatever to

a pension or surruty except the present and declares that his name is

not on the pension roll of the agency of any state.  Subscribed and swom

to this day and year aforesaid.
