      Richard Cunningham (S.2483) - Pennsylvania Militia (44 pages)

      On 15 Sep 1832, Richard Cunningham of Bellbrook, Green County, age 75 years on 5th day of May last, appeared in open court in Greene County, to make a declaration for the purpose of obtaining a pension under the Act of 7 Jun, 1832. He had been living at Bellbrook for 10 years and before that he had resided for twenty-five or thirty years in Warren County, Ohio. His 6 page declaration detailed his service during the war and indicated that according to his father’s bible, he was born on 5 May 1757 about 2 miles from Mercersburg in what is now Franklin County, Pennsylvania.
      He was awarded a pension of $80 per year beginning 4 Mar 1831 by Certificate #3043 issued 4 May 1833 and placed on the pension rolls in Ohio. Having lost his wife, Richard went to live with his son, Francis Cunningham near Terre Haute Indiana and on 4 Sep 1837 he was transferred to the pension rolls there.
      On 8 Aug 1842, Richard Cunningham, who was then living with his son-in-law in Waynesville, Ohio, made a declaration before Allen Wright, a Justice of the Peace in Warren County, Ohio in which he said,
      “Having lost his wife, he went to reside with his son near Terre Haute Indiana but that about two years ago his said son died & he was thereby deprived of his home there. He is therefore compelled to reside with his children residing in Ohio & finds it extremely inconvenient & expensive to be compelled to receive his pension in Terre Haute.”
      The names of Richard’s parents, wife and the names of his children, other than son Francis, are not shown in the pension file. There is nothing in the file to indicate when he died and was removed from the pension rolls.
      An 18 Oct 1936 letter from the pension office to a Miss Pearl Finley of Brazil, Indiana, provides the following description of Richard Cunningham’s Revolutionary War record:
      “While residing with his mother in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, Richard Cunningham enlisted in the summer of 1776, served as a private in Captain Thomas Geddis’ Pennsylvania Company, marched to the Ohio River and was stationed at a fort between Wheeling and Pittsburgh, was engaged in spying and scouting against the Indiana and was discharged in December, 1776, having served six months: after his discharge, he started for his mother’s home, but on arriving at Redstone, in December, 1776, he enlisted again, served two months under Lieutenant William Colvin in the Pennsylvania Troops and guarded the military stores at that place: in the summer of 1777, he volunteered. Served as a private in Captain George Crawford’s Company under Colonel Dunlop in the Pennsylvania Troops was in the battle of Iron Hill, White Horse, Brandywine, where he received a slight wound on the head, and Germantown, and was discharged about ten days after the last named engagement. Having served about three months: while on his way home, he enlisted at Lancaster; received a furlough of three months in order to visit his mother, but returned before the expiration of two months and served under Colonel Crawford and General McIntosh; went to Fort McIntosh which place was his headquarters during this service: served as a scout and spy, a part of the time under Captain Brady, and for nine months under James Huston transporting provisions from Pennsylvania and Virginia to Forts Pitt and McIntosh: the entire length of this service was three years: Immediately after the expiration of this service, he reenlisted and served one year under Captain Brady as a spy in the neighborhood of Forts Pitt and McIntosh.”

      Richard Cunningham is listed as being buried in Row 5 Grave 44 on the 11th Month 18th, 1847 in the Chandler-Brown list of burials held by Wilmington College.

      ". . .. His father, Robert Hamilton, was born in Bainbridge, county Down, Ireland, in 1760; came to America when but a lad of fourteen years, and shortly afterward became a soldier of the Revolutionary war; he served throughout the war, much of the time under command of Gen. Anthony Wayne.  He was with him at the storming of Stoney Point, and was one of the men to lift him up when a glancing bullet had felled the brave commander.  Afterwards he was captured by his own brother, a British officer, but refused to go home to Ireland if set free, preferring to fight for his newly adopted country.  . .."
    • 20 Jan 2011 Annette Pederson :
      " . . . I am a member of Anne Loucks Chapter in Martinez, CA,. My patriot, Robert Hamilton, is listed on our website.
      " Also, I read the brief biography that is posted on your website for Robert and I believe there in an error. The comment about his brother capturing him at Germantown is taken out of context. According to the family biography, Robert was wounded and captured at the famous battle, but he did not have an older brother, so it likely that the British officer was a step brother or close relative. He is quoted as saying, “Brother, Bobbie”, but the relationship is unclear."

      • I think the Thomas Hamilton listed in the The Abstract of Graves of Revolutionary Patriots, Vol. 2, p. Serial 11999, Vol. 8 was the Thomas Hamilton of whom it was written in an 1889 Edgar County, Illinois county history:
        "The maiden name of the mother of Mrs. [Hannah Patterson] Hanley was Nancy Hamilton.  She was a native of Virginia, born near the town of Moresfield and was the daughter of Thomas Hamilton, who was born in England.  He served in the English army and as a soldier of that army was brought over the Atlantic to fight the colonists.  This he did not wish to do, so deserted the ranks and located in Virginia and lived in Palmyra, Warren County, the remainder of his days"

      • The IGI gives his death as 1827 in Mason, Warren County, Ohio, which would be consistent with an interment in Unity Cemetery.

Later in a couple of deeds, Joseph was referred to by his son-in-law as Capt. Joseph Lamb. I am not aware of any other Lambs in Westfield. Joseph had two sisters and no brothers. He had one uncle who died in 1739 on Long Island, evidently a minor or leaving no heirs, judging from the will of Joseph's grandfather . In the cemetery at Westfield, the only Lamb is Joseph's father. The mother had remarried. . . ."

    • no gravestone found at Dicks Creek Cemetery
    • 19 May 2009 by John Apgar
      "My mother Mary Ross Apgar and her sister Janet Ross Johnson did extensive research on the Ross family. Alexander Ross is our stopping point on that side of the family. What we are lacking for him is his place of birth (country of Origin), his parents, emigration date to the US. We know he traveled to Brownsville (Redstone) in Pa, then moved with his inlaws to Franklin in Warren County . He served in the Rev War, at Battle of Brandywine, Paoli (captured), and Whiskey Rebellion. My mother, Mary Ross Apgar visited the Warren County Courthouse and examined their records in person. It was from there that she discovered Alexander Ross (1755-1809) and his wife, Nancy Ann Ross, were buried in Dicks Creek Cemetery. There is no gravestone, as it may have been destroyed or removed over the years. We also have references from the Kidner family (an in law from one of Alexander's children) that he was burried there."
