Notes for William Andrew IRVINE

W.A. Irvine was an officer in the Confederate Army

 

A telegram was received yesterday morning by Mrs. L B Long from her mother announcing the death of Colonel W.A. Irvine, at Ennis Texas. The sad news was no unexpected. Col. Irvine was stricken with paralysis last Tuesday while on his way to Port Arthur. His wife was notified that his condition was very serious and she at once went to Ennis to care for him and was by his side at the end. It was though at first that there might be a rally, possibly a recovery, but all hope were disappointed and after regaining consciousness for a short time he passed away. Mrs. Irvine will bring the remains of her husband to Fort Scott and the interment will be in Evergreen cemetery. The hour for the funeral will be determined by the time of arrival. The services at the house will be conducted by Rev. Milton of the First Christian church, after which Myrtle Lodge No. 17, Knights of Pythias will take charge of the body and conduct the burial ceremonies, in accordance with the ritual of their order.

For the past three years he has been in Texas witting insurance for his company. He had decided to give up his work in Northern Texas and was on his way to Port Arthur when stricken with paralysis at Ennis where he was well known and greatly esteemed. He received every possible care from his friends and from the order of Knights of Pythias of which order he had been a member of for more than twenty years and his last hours were brightened by the presence of his tenderly loved wife.

 

Col. Irvine was a man of generous noble character, greatly liked by all who knew him. In his youth he was a brave soldiers and throughout his life a devoted husband, a loving father and a faithful friend. He leaves a wife, one son W.E.

      Children of Henry Dennis ARNOLD and Desire ELLIS were as follows:

                  i           August Ellis5 ARNOLD, born 11 Aug 1818 in West Greenwich, Kent Co. Ri; died abt 1838.  He married Martha ((---)) ARNOLD.   Notes: Augustus Ellis, the oldest son was a hard working boy, and a studious only devouring everything along the educational line he could get a hold of in that early day. He was a beautiful penman; I have some of his writing. He would have taught school, but consumption developed when he had just reached man hood, and his career was snuffed out ere it had begun. Father always regretted his death very much. He always said, "Augustus was 'cut out' for a man who would have been heard from."

                  ii           William Slocum5 ARNOLD, born 1 Sep 1821 in West Greenwich, Kent Co. Ri; died 18 Dec 1899.  He married on 7 Feb 1846 in Morris, NY Susan Rebecca (SWARTOUT) ARNOLD, born 30 Mar 1827; died 10 May 1903.   Notes: The second son William Slocum worked at home with his father longer than the rest did, but finally he married Susan Swarthout of Morris, settled there for a while, then pulled up stakes and journeyed to Davenport Clinton Co. Iowa, farmed it there for a good many years, returning to York state to visit his mother an others kindred at three different times. The first time was in 1866, again in 1871 and again I think in 1878 or 79. Finally he developed rheumatism in its worst form, thought a change of climate would be a benefit to him. So he took a trip to Missouri to see the prospect there. No Good! Went back to Iowa and took another start. This time to Maryland, bought a small farm near Codova Talbot Co. Maryland. In all these trips that I have recorded he couldn't walk a step and had to be carried on and off of trains. Aunt Susan was with him of course. They went back to Iowa, superintended the packing of their goods, sold the farm, bid good-bye to Iowa forever, and went back to their new farm in Maryland. The farm was a fruit and vegetable farm and they raised lots of sweet potatoes. He hired a man, helped a good deal and their adopted daughter Lettie, did all the rest. Father went down to visit them in 1883 and in 1884 brother Edwin went down. They reported Uncle William as being a most pitiful object, for eighteen years before he died he couldn't walk a step. He died in 1899. Aunt Susan with Lettie's help cared for him faithfully till the end. Aunt Susan died in 1903. Lettie died in 1931.

                  iii          Sally Alice5 ARNOLD, born 22 Aug 1823 in West Greenwich, Kent Co. Ri; died 19 Dec 1864.  She married on 1 Jan 1846 in Morris, NY Charles Giles BURLINGHAME Jr., born 30 Apr 1825; died 31 Mar 1862.   Notes: In 1846 Aunt Alice married Charles Giles Burlingame Jr. who was a son of her own cousin Rev. Charles Giles Burlingame Sr. They bought a farm built a house and barn, called the place "Sunny Nook". It was a mile from Willett, East across the creek off from the highway. They kept bees and Uncle Giles built a long shelter for them, erected a flagpole where Aunt Alice used to unfurl a good-sized flag in pleasant weather. A large peacock strutted on the green lawn, a large white dog graced ? the place and it look very attractive. Aunt Alice was an excellent housekeeper. In my little girlhood I went there many many times with my mother, but I rather go anywhere else. Aunt Alice was a very stern severe woman when children were around. Always telling how her children would obey if she had any. I was always glad she didn't have, for they would have been miserable. Uncle Giles died in 1862. I was too young to remember him. Aunt Alice undertook to do the work on the farm with the help of a young boy who went to school. She used herself up in spite of all my father or the neighbors could say, she was so obstinate, and in 1864 she died, following him in about two and half years. They united first with the Methodists, and then with the Presbyterians, and then she became a spiritualist. Then she denounced that bitterly and died an Episcopalian!

Notes for David MAULSBY

The following is taken from "Genealogy of the Maulsby Family", by Cora M. (Patty) Payne, pp. 106-107:  " Lemuel Maulsby and Ruth Reynods ---holding membership in the Friends church during life --- lived in Wayne County, then in LaPorte County, Indiana, in Michigan for a time, and back to LaPorte. In 1854 they sold out and moved to Dallas county, Iowa, reaching their destination April 15th. Lemuel bought a farm about four miles southwest of Redfield on the South Raccoon River. This was the Iowa home of this family, Lemuel and wife both dying there.---" Lemuel and Ruth (Reynolds) Maulsby are both buried in the Bear Creek Cemetery.--- There is a copy of the Maulsby family genealogy by Cora Payne in the Iowa State Historical Library in Des Moines. There is another book, which I located in the Quaker Collection at Whittier College, Whittier, California, by O. W. Maulby, "Rolling Stone" (Los Angeles: Privately Printed, 1931), in which Orlando Maulsby descibed his life while growing up in the area outside of Redfield in the years following the Civil War. ---- Abstracted Quaker Records of the Maulsby family in Indiana can be found in a set of six small volumes and an index: "Abstracts of the Records of the Society of Friends in Indiana", edited by Willard Heiss. This is the seventh volume of a larger work, "Encyclopedia of American Quaker Genealogy", compiled under the direction of William Wade Hinshaw ---- including abstracts of records of Friends Meetings farther east and south, from which the Maulsby ancestors may have come.---- About 1843 there was a separation among Friends in Indiana, wherein a number of Friends especially devoted to the Abolitionist cause broke away from the larger Indian Yearly Meeting. Although some were welcomed back in membership about 1856, a number were lost to the Socity of Friends at this time. Some of the Maulsby family may have been among this group.

Notes for Henry (Honorable) WISNER

Henry Wisner 1720-1790 New York Delegate who voted for the Declaration of Independence WISNER, Henry, patriot, born in Goshen, Orange County, New York, about 1725; died there in 1790. He was the grandson of a Swiss soldier who settled in Orange county in 1715. Henry was appointed in 1768 one of the assistant justices of the court of common pleas, and represented Orange county in the New York general assembly in 1759-'69. He strenuously espoused the side of colonial rights against the pretensions of the British parliament, and was a member of the Continental congress of 1774 and of the 2d Continental congress, which adopted the Declaration of Independence. For that measure Wisner voted, and he was the only New York delegate who acquired that honor, but before the Declaration was engrossed on parchment and ready for signing, he went to New York to attend the Provincial congress, of which he had been elected a member.  He studied the art of making gunpowder and erected three powder-mills in the neighborhood of Goshen, from which large quantities of powder were supplied to the Revolutionary army. He was otherwise of practical service to the patriot cause by having spears and gun-slints made and by repair-mg the roads in orange county, thus facilitating the transportation of provisions and military material to the American troops. He also, at his own expense, erected works and mounted cannon on the banks of Hudson river, which greatly impeded British vessels in their passage of the Highlands. He was one of the committee that framed the first constitution of New York in 1777, state senator in 1777-'82, and a member of the New York convention of 1788, which ratified the United States constitution . On that occasion he voted in the negative, fearing, in common with other stanch patriots, that a strong Federal government would overpower state and individual rights. In person Wisher was tall, with pleasing manners, and a frame that was vigorous even in old age. He possessed a strong intellect and an energetic character.

Notes for John YOUST

Descendants of John Youst Generation No. 1 1. JOHN1 YOUST was born in Bavaria, Germany. He married CATHERINE SNUICHE. The Old World origin of the Yost Family is in Southern Germany, and is associated in this country with our Colonial History, being of the Tevton's branch of the Great Slavano-Germanic Race. Members of this family left the fatherland in the early part of the Seventeenth Century. John Youst, the earliest ancestor of whom we have definite information emigrated from Bavaria, Germany in the year 1773, in early manhood, and landed in New York City where he hired out at manual labor for one year to pay his ship passage to the Colonies, as was the sustom of that day. he met Catherinbe Snuiche (Snook) of Holland and English parentage, who came to this country about the same time. She was a fine scholar, well-read in both English and German. They were married at Elizabeth, New Jersey the next year, where they lived for a time before moving to Trenton, NJ. John served for 7 years in the Continental Army, participating in the battles of that section. Many of the chief incidents have been related by them. At the end of the warm they removed with the frontier tide of emigration, that came over the mountains by way of Cumberland, MD and Braddock's Road into Northwestern, VA. They settled on Indian Creek in Monongalia County, eight miles out of Morgantown Station, where he owned a farm of 240 acres. John paid tax on this from 1792 to 1817. Bounty Land Warrant records Vol 2-4, issued prior to 1800, show a John Yost, Revolutionary War Private in PA, received 100 acres 100 acres on Warrant #10680 issued 21 Mar 1792.

Notes for Edward E CUNNINGHAM

Edward's name appears in the record books of the Valley of Virginia, on 27 Oct 1758, as a member of a militia company headed by Capt. Henry Speer. The names of his father, Adam, and his uncle Walter were also listed. On this date, Edward was fined ten shillings for missing a general muster.

From "Colonial Cunninghams of the Virginias and their Descendants," by Kenneth & Marjorie Blech, 1982, page 180:

"On March 3, 1778 [error- 1776], a party of Indians came upon a number of children playing on the banks of Ten Mile Creek, in the yard of a house known as Fort Harbert. It was designated as a place of refuge in case of an Indian attack in the area, hence its name. The children ran screaming toward the house to appraise [sic] their elders of the Indians' presence. John Murphy, running to close the door, was shot and fell back inside. The Indian, who fired the shot and not realizing that there were others in the cabin, rushed in to scalp his victim, but was instantly tackled by Mr. Harbert, who threw him to the floor and struck him with his tomahawk. In his struggle with the Indian, Harbert stood up and was shot by an Indian from outside the house, killing him instantly. While he was having his troubles with that Indian, Edward was having his own troubles with another Indian, who had followed the first one into the cabin. Edward had attempted to shoot him, upon his entry, but his rifle misfired. He grappled with the Indian and buried his tomahawk in his back, seriously wounding him. Meanwhile, Edward's wife, Sarah, was hitting him with an ax, causing him to flee.

Another Indian in the cabin, was engaged in a struggle with a Mr. Reece and his daughter. Reece, too, would have been killed had not Edward wounded his opponent with a tomahawk, causing him also to flee.

In the yard, the Indians had rounded up all the children that they could find. They killed and scalped three of the children and took five captive, before they fled into the forest toward their territory in Ohio. The total casualties of this encounter were: One white adult and three children slain and four wounded, and one Indian killed and several wounded. It was in this raid that Joseph, the son of Edward and Sarah, was captured. They found him hiding under the treadles of a large loom in the weaving house. He was eight years old.

Joseph was adopted in the Shawnee family and lived with them for sixteen years, before being released by a treaty, freeing all Indian captives. After his release, he guided pioneering families and surveyors of the vast tracks of forests. While he was on one of these surveying trips, he had a hand encounter with a large black bear. The bear grabbed him by the knee and would not let go. He killed the bear with his hunting knife and pried his jaws open to free himself. He was lamed for life by the injury. After his return to civilization, he was known as "Injun Joe." Joseph later married a Miss Ayres [Margaret "Peggy" Ayres] and fathered two daughters and one son. They were: Mrs. Samuel Warne of Parkersburg, WV, Mrs. George Sires of Clarksburg, WV and Dr. John Cunningham of Illinois."

Edward and his family were also present in the June 1785 Indian attack which resulted in the deaths of his brother Thomas' four children and the capture of Thomas' wife, Phebe.

Edward's will [Harrison County Will Book 1, p. 234] is dated 4 Dec 1800 and it was proved in the Harrison County Court on 4 Apr 1804. He signed his name as "Edward E. Cunningham." Named in the will are his wife and children: Sary [Sarah], Joseph, Benjamin, Leah, William, Adam, Thomas, Enaith [Enoch], Rachel, Ann, Mary Elizabeth, and Kettery [Keturah].

Edward died May 5, 1804.

Both Edward and Sarah are listed in the D.A.R. Patriot Index for their public service
during the Revolutionary War.  Edward married Sarah Price on 15 Jun 1770 in VA. (Sarah Price died on 24 Dec 1800.)

Notes for Adam CUNNINGHAM

This information about Adam Cunningham is a tiny part of the abundance of information in the book, "Adam and 500 More Cunninghams of the Valley of Virginia, c. 1734-c. 1800," by Betty Cunningham Newman, copyright 2000. All researchers of this family owe Betty a debt of gratitude for her meticulous research and the amazing chronological presentation of the facts that set the record straight, at long last. - The book is available at Heritage Books <http://www.heritagebooks.com> and many other book stores.

¿ The first Adam Cunningham lived in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia early in the records of that section. In a deposition given November 27, 1770 in the case of Jost Hite and Robert McCoy vs. Thomas Lord Fairfax and others, which case was originally filed in Williamsburg, Colony of Virginia, on October 10, 1749, Adam Cunningham stated he was 57 years old and had come to the Colony of Virginia about thirty years earlier. This would make his birth date circa 1713/14 and his arrival in Virginia about 1740."

The record reads: "The Deposition of Adam Cunningham aged fifty seven years. The Deponent being sworn saith that he came to this Colony about thirty years ago and that Joshua Job was at that time settled on the plantation whereon he now lives and further saith not. Adam Cunningham Sworn to this 27th November 1770 before James Wood."

¿ Adam, his brother Walter, and Adam's son's Edward and John were all members of the colonial militia, headed by Capt. Henry Speer. On 27 Oct 1758 Adam was fined 20 shillings for missing one private and one general muster and again, on 1 Nov 1760, Adam was fined 50 shillings for missing one general and four private musters. Fines for missing muster were assessed on 17 Oct 1758 against Adam's brother Walter, against Adam's son Edward, and against many of their neighbors who were enrolled in Capt. Speer's company, including Moses McCoy, Joshua Job, Daniel Stover, Henry Harden, Larkin Pearpoint, Charles Thompson, Charles Ragon, John Odell, Robert Shirley, Edward Collins, William Hughes, John Daniel and William Daniel. Capt. Speer's assessment fine list of 1 Nov 1760 additionally included Moses McCoy, Zachariah McCoy and Walter Cunningham.

¿ No record has been found that Adam Cunningham I served in a military capacity in the Revolutionary War, he undoubtedly being too old to be active militarily; however, Adam supported the war effort by providing supplies. On 27 Apr 1781, "Per Motion of Adam Cunningham he is allowed £15-0-5 (fifteen pounds, five pence) for the same and same order (For public service as (blurred) this day lodged which is ordered to be certified)" (Shenandoah County Order Book /78/-84, p. 24)

¿ A lengthy list of public service claims in connection with the Revolutionary War effort were produced in the Shenandoah County Court on 29 Aug 1782 and ordered to be "certifyed" Adam Cuningham had two entries, one on page 12 for sundries for which he was allowed ten pounds, 11shillings and ten pence and another at page 14 for "26 diets" for which he was allowed 19 shillings The National Society Daughters of the American Revolution has accepted Adam Cunningham for inclusion in their list of patriots, although in 1993 they combined Adam and his son Adam II into one person.

¿ Adam's brother, Walter Cunningham, died sometime between March and May 1781. On August 30, Ann Cunningham (assumed to be Walter's widow) and Adam Cunningham were granted letters to administrator Walter's estate.

¿ On 1 Aug 1792, Adam, Walter (son), and Walter's wife, Hannah, mortgaged much of their real estate to Joseph Ruffner, as security for monies Ruffner loaned to them. Ruffner had advanced Adam and Walter one hundred fourteen pounds, five shillings and six pence. Additionally, Ruffner was surety for Walter on a replevy bond to Louis Durell in the amount of one hundred ten pounds, which bond was payable in March, 1793. To secure these loans, Adam, Walter and Hannah pledged the 197 acres of land Adam had purchased from the Parlours in 1765 and on which was built the grist mill, the 89 acres Fairfax granted Adam in 1779, the land Walter obtained by deed from Josiah Leath in 1784, and Walter's interest in a tract of land for which he had William Shaver's bond given to Edwin Young and assigned Walter (Shenandoah Co Deed Book 1, pp.7-74).

This mortgaged property was sold to Thomas Allen 23 Nov 1793 for 230 pounds more than owed to Ruffner. Ruffner, Adam and Walter signed their names and Hannah made an "X."

¿ Although his place of interment cannot be proved, it seems certain that Adam died in the 1790s, after he signed the 1793 deed. No court record after this date was found in the records of Shenandoah, Harrison or Wood Counties, Virginia, bearing the name of the first Adam Cunningham, nor has any will or estate administration been found for Adam I.

¿ Adam had five sons that can be documented, and possibly three more whose identification is more tenuous. He may have had daughters as well, but none are named in the records. The sons are: JOHN, WALTER, ADAM, THOMAS, EDWARD and, possibly, ROBERT, JOSEPH and WILLIAM.

 

      Children of Adam CUNNINGHAM and Catherine ? were as follows:

                  i           Walter8 CUNNINGHAM.   Notes: Walter Cunningham  Born: Dec 1749, Shenandoah, Virginia  Marriage: (1): Hannah  Marriage: (2): Anne Randall 24 Dec 1804, Harrison County, VA  Died: Abt 1835, about age 86  1. Hannah  Deborah Cunningham  Elizabeth Cunningham Adam Cunningham Lydia Cunningham Enos Cunningham Walter Cunningham George Cunningham  David Cunningham Martin Cunningham Mary Cunningham 2. Anne Randall  Abraham Cunningham  Rachel Cunningham  Ephraim Cunningham  Nancy Cunningham  General Notes:  For many years, books and genealogies of this family indicated that Walter had been born in Ireland. However, when he applied for a Revolutionary War pension, he stated he was born in Dec 1749 in Shenandoah, Virginia.

Although Walter had many children and countless descendants, his service in the Revolutionary War was not established in the Daughters of the American Revolution until Linda Cunningham Fluharty provided the proof of his service that was accepted by the D. A. R. in October 1997. A year later, his service was established in the S. A. R. by Don Pauley.

¿ Walter's name appears on John Netherton's list of persons in Dunmore County (Shenandoah) 2 white males over 16, 2 white males under 16, 2 white females. He is listed next to Adam Cunningham and his family.

¿ As proved in the book, "Adam and 500 More Cunninghams....," by Betty Cunningham Newman, Walter and his father, Adam, were in close proximity, in terms of residence, as well as their business affairs. Adam paid Walter's tax bill in 1787 and when they came into financial difficulty, they jointly mortgaged and sold their real estate.

¿ In April 1799, Edward, brother of Walter, and his wife, Sarah Cunningham, of Harrison County, sold to Walter Cunningham of Shenandoah County, 273 acres of land in Shenandoah County for $200. This land may have been previously owned by Walter Cunningham, their father's brother, who died in 1781.

¿ On May 18, 1799, Walter and Hannah Cunningham entered into an indenture with Reuben Suttle of Louden County in which the Cunninghams sold 120 acres on the south side of the Shenandoah River adjoining the tract of land Walter sold to Clyah Roye for 25 pounds. The indenture was recorded in Shenandoah County in March 1801.

¿ Walter married twice. His first wife, Hannah, possibly the daughter of George & Mirium Leith, died in Harrison County, on March 30, 1803. He married a second time to Ann Randall on December 23, 1804, in Harrison County.

¿ The date of Walter's death is not known but the DAR now has March 5, 1834 in the Patriot Index. I did not provide that information when I established his service.

¿ The burial place of Walter is not known.

Fortunately for our family, Walter, at age 83, applied for a pension, thus providing us with some essential information.

Statement of W. G. Singleton: [Note: The following date, July 12, 1834, appears to be when Mr. Singleton was reviewing the statements Walter made in 1832]

Walter Cunningham. draws $20-

July 12, 1834, Mr Cunningham made the following statement of his age and service as a soldier in the war of the Revolution - Remained home in the county of Shenandoah until the year 1776. In the fall of that year he came across the Allegheny Mountains to see his brother in Bingamom creek Harrison cty.- Capt. David Scott was then enlisting men for Rangers - he enlisted under Scott was then enlisted under Scott for three months. - and ranger on the west fork on Bingamon, fishing creek and through the ____ part of Harrison county as at present named. He was Ranging and scouting until his term expired which was on the 7th day of February 1777. Knew nothing about the authority under which Scott acted. Nor does he know whether he was _____ or Captain by then. States ___ he got his discharge and returned home, made a crop in the succeeding summer and in the fall volunteered for three months under Capt. M. Reeder (Rader) to go against the Shawnee tribes on the Ohio River. Marched to Winchester and joined three or four more companies, marched from Winchester to Fort Pitt. then joined Genl Hands army. Went thence to Fort Wheeling remained there several weeks. - then companies returned to Pitt. After he got back his three months expired got his discharge from Capt. Rader and went home,- he gave the discharge to Colonel Johnson. Anythony Boon served with him the first turn - know his last turn by Adam Cunningham.

Note: The service details in the first turn must have been irregular and unauthorized - it was a neighborhood matter -- as to the second turn, it is probable that men there have been drafted in Shenandoah county for three months for service on the Ohio River. In the then state of the country and war it would have taken an army three months to have marched from Shenandoah cty across the Allegheny Mts to the Ohio River.

Next Page - Nov 18, 1834

Since writing preceding note- I have seen Capt. Rader under whom Cunningham alledges to have marched from Shenandoah to Fort Pitt to the Ohio river -- Rader satisfied me beyond all question that he did march a company from Shenandoah county to the Ohio River to Pittsburg Wheeling and was in service 3 mo- & I also know that Capt Buck of Frederick county also marched a company from same county- to the same places and at the same time-- so that I must be mistaken in the opinion first intimated. (Signature of W. G. Singleton)

Handwritten note:

Depart of War
Pension Office
March 12, 1835

I have directed that the name of Walter Cunningham be stricken from the pension roll, he not being entitled under the Act of Congress passed June 7, 1832. And along the name of Thomas Smith, both of Harrison Co
Please inform him of the fact..... (Initials of writer illegible)

At the bottom left is:
Nathan Goff Es
Clarksburg Va

[Note: Walter Cunningham had not requested a pension payment since 5 March 1834 (see below), a year before this note was written. After two periods passed without him or his surrogate claiming his pension, he was struck from the rolls, 12 March 1835. - The official from the War Department specifically said that Walter Cunningham was not "entitled under the act passed June 7, 1832;" he didn't say that he had died. - Since the reason he was dropped is not given and no other records speak to the matter, it is not possible know with any certainty if he was dropped because he died or for some other reason.]
 =========================== 
 REGARDING WALTER'S DEATH DATE

The D.A.R. Patriot Index lists the date of Walter's death as 5 March 1834. However, this date should be preceded by a "p" because he died sometime between 5 March 1834, when he signed the power of attorney, and 4 September 1834, the next time his pension was payable.

The DAR said his date should be p (post-after) 5 Mar 1834 and a request has been made that they edit the Patriot Index to reflect that.

Found in the records of the Third Auditor, Treasury Department (not microfilmed and not on the pension file film) is the fact that Walter Cunningham was alive on 5 March 1834. This is from his final pension payment file. On that day, he gave Thomas Ritchie of Richmond, Virginia, power of attorney in order to collect his pension. On 22 April 1834, Ritchie filed for the pension that was due to Walter Cunningham for the two quarters ending on 4 March 1834. According to the pension ledger, this is the last date through which he was paid.

There is also a pension payment ledger page from the records of the Second Comptroller's Office, and probably is the record that was referred to in a letter in Walter's pension file, which directs that inquiries about Walter's death be directed to the Comptroller. The entry for each soldier frequently, but not always, carried a notation as to the date of death. Walter's entry did not have such a notation.

One cannot conclude that because Ritchie collected money only up to 4 March 1834, Walter Cunningham died on March 5. The payment period of the pension receipt stub that Thomas Ritchie signed on 22 April 1834 showed that the payment period for which he was collecting began on 4 Sept 1833 and ended on 4 March 1833. The power of attorney also stated that the pension payments had begun on 4 March 1831 and were payable every 4 September and 4 March. Therefore March 4 was the statutory payment date, and not the date that Walter Cunningham died. Walter was definitely alive on 5 March 1834 when he signed the power of attorney, although he certainly could have died that same day, after he signed the paper.

The normal payment procedure required the pensioner or his designated attorney to personally appear at the pension office to collect his payment. The payments were only made twice a year. When Thomas Ritchie signed a receipt for Walter Cunningham's pension payment on 22 April 1834, it is reasonable that that is how long it took for Ritchie to go from Harrison Co., Virginia to the pension office in Richmond to collect the money. Ritchie was still in Harrison Co. on 9 April, because on that date he swore before a Justice of the Peace in that county that he had not gotten the power of attorney by virtue of sale, transfer or mortgage of the pension or arrears. He may have remained in the area persuading other additional pensioners to give him their powers of attorney.

Probably Walter died sometime between 5 March 1834, when he signed the power of attorney, and 4 September 1834, the next time his pension was payable. If he had been alive on 4 September 1834, it is likely that Walter Cunnningham or his designated attorney would have applied for the payment. No one applied for pension arrears, so possibly some people have concluded on that basis that Walter died on the fifth of March. - Not familiar enough with the pension laws in effect in 1834-1835 to know whether they were even eligible to apply for arrears. By 1838 they were, but nobody applied on behalf of the estate of Walter Cunningham.
Walter married Hannah. (Hannah was born about 1757 and died on 30 Mar 1803 in Harrison County, WV.) Walter also married Anne Randall on 24 Dec 1804 in Harrison County, VA.

                  ii           Adam8 CUNNINGHAM.  He married Rachel (MORGAN) CUNNINGHAM.   Notes: Adam Cunningham is named in the Revolutionary War pension application of his brother, Walter. Supposedly, Adam gave an affidavit in support of Walter's application - but the affidavit has not been found. Adam married Rachel Morgan.

      112      iii          Edward E8 CUNNINGHAM, born 1744 in Harrison, Wv; died 24 Dec 1800 in Harrison, Wv.  He married on 15 Jun 1770 in VA Sarah (PRICE) CUNNINGHAM, born 1749 in Fairfax, Va; died 24 Dec 1800.

                  iv          John8 CUNNINGHAM.  He married Ann (TAPP) CUNNINGHAM.   Notes: John is established as the brother of Thomas, and therefore the son of Adam I, by the contents of his son William's Revolutionary War pension application. - See transcription under William's name.

John apparently served in Captain Michael Reader's militia in Shenandoah County, according to the roster dated 1777. His brother, Walter, also served in this company. However, no record of his service has been found beyond the statements in William's affidavit that he had served as a substitute for his father and also for his Uncle Thomas.

John's wife, Ann, was named the administratrix of his estate on 28 Nov 1782, so presumably he died shortly before then.

                  v          Thomas
