Greetings Everyone,
I am descended from two direct ancestors who served in the Revolutionary War. One is Charles Lewis, who served as a Seamen and Soldier out of Fredericksburg. Charles and his brother Ambrose fought at The Battle of Camden South Carolina. In 1998 I was able to prove my relationship to Charles, and gain acceptance into the Daughter's of the American Revolution.
The other director ancestor is Rawley Pinn, who served out of Amherst County Virginia. He was a Minute Man, and then joined a Unit headed by Colonial William Cabell. The Unit marched to Yorktown, and fought at, The Siege of Yorktown. They met with and joined the unit headed by Marquis De Lafayette. Other relatives who fought at, The Siege of Yorktown were, Rawleys' brother, Robert, and his sons, Jim, Billy, and John Pinn. Jim was killed at the Siege, but the others survived. John Pinn stated that his father had received Land Bounty for his service at, The Siege of Yorktown.

I found the original roster for the unit headed by William Cabell, at the College of William and Mary's Swem Library.

A very distant grand father of mine, James Napier was a Revolutionary Solider and formerly lived in Edgegield District, South Carolina, before moving to Warren County, Georgia. He was married to Mary Thompson Napier. James was born 1741 in brunswick, Virginia & died 1798 in Warren, Georgia.
Any information about his service is greatly appreciated.

I found an interesting article titled ‘Maryland 400’ Helped Turn Revolution’s Early Tide
Our History, Our Stories in the SoMDNews.Com. You can find it at http://www.somdnews.com/stories/053106/entefea173542_32080.shtml. This article mentions a lot of Revolutionary War soldiers.
It also mentions my ancestor * Pvt. RAPHAEL WIMSATT also served in the battles of White Plains and Monmouth prior to his discharge in 1780. He married Susanna Cissell (Cecil) in 1783. After the war, they moved to Nelson County, Ky., where Raphael died in 1828. He was born 1 Oct 1754 in St Mary's, Maryland. I would love to know more about the Wimsatt's in St Mary's and if anyone would know where in England they come from. I would appreciate any information someone might have.
