Now that specie resumption is a secured fact, bankers and merchants will find it to their interest to deal direct with Mr. Dewsnap for coin bags. Mr. Dewsnap has built up a fine glove trade in Orange County and through New Jersey and Pennsylvania, and is prepared to fill all orders promptly and at low prices. We advise dealers to give him a call. http://www.usgennet.org/usa/ny/county/orange/ger/gerand.htm#dews

This area was then know as Chestnut Ridge and later as Upper Montvale. An article in the Bergen County Democrat, issue of August 17, 1894 referring to the people of "old, conservative Chestnut Ridge" mentioned that "Mark Dewsnap, A. P. Haring, W.

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!

i Joseph7 CUNNINGHAM. He married Margaret (AYRES) CUNNINGHAM. Notes: 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."

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.

123 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 Thomas8 CUNNINGHAM. He married Phebe (TUCKER) CUNNINGHAM. Notes: General Notes: The story of this family appears in many books of West Virginia history. However, there are many inaccurate accounts. To avoid speculation, the Revolutionary Pension file of Phebe is presented here. It gives at least a glimpse into their lives.

Virginia
Lewis County ss

In the County of Lewis Count at the Term thereof begun & held on the 13th day of November 1839.

On this 13 day of November in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and thirty nine personally appeared in open court Phebe Cunningham a resident of the County aforesaid aged about 79 years, who being duly sworn, according to law, doth, on her oath, make the following declaration, in order to obtain the benefit of the provision made by the act of Congress, passed the fourth day of July 1836 entitled "An act granting half pay to widows or orphans, where their husband and Fathers had died of wounds received in the military service of the United States in certain cases, and for other purposes."

That she is the widow of Thomas Cunningham deceased who was a private in the army during the revolutionary war, and served thirteen months, under Captain James Booth, in an expedition against the Indians, as will appear by reference to an Act of the Legislature of Virginia passed March 13, 1834 a copy of which is hereunto annexed.

She further declares that she was married to the said Thomas Cunningham on the (blank) day of April in the year seventeen hundred and Twenty six or seven that her said husband the aforesaid Thomas Cunningham died on the Second day of June one thousand eight hundred & Twenty Six that subsequent to her marriage viz: in the year seventeen hundred & eighty five, after she had given birth to four children, she the said Phebe Cunningham was taken prisoner by the Indians and carried into captivity, and her children murdered as will more fully appear by reference to a narrative contained in the Chronicles of Border Warfare, commencing on page 272, a copy of which is also hereunto annexed.

Phebe (her X mark) Cunningham


Copy of Narrative contained in the Chronicles of Border Warfare commencing on page 272.

In 1785, six Indians came to Bingamon creek, (a branch of the West Fork) and made their appearance upon a farm occupied by Thomas and Edward Cunningham. At this time the two brothers were dwelling with their families in separate houses, but nearly adjoining, though not in a direct line with each other. Thomas was then on a trading visit east of the mountain, and his wife and four children were collected in their room for the purpose of eating dinner, as was Edward with his family, in their house. Suddenly a lusty savage entered where were Mrs. Thomas Cunningham and her children, but seeing that he would be exposed to a fire from the other house, and apprehending no danger from the woman and children, he closed the door and seemed for a time only intent on the means of escaping.

Edward Cunningham had seen the savage enter his brother's house, and fastened his own door, seized his gun and stepping to a small aperture in the wall next the house in which was the Indian, and which served as well for a port hole as for the admission of light, was ready to fire whenever the savage should make his appearance. But in the other house was a like aperture, and through it the Indian fired at Edward, and shouted the yell of victory. It was answered by Edward. He had seen the aim of the savage only in time to avoid it, -- the bark from the log close to his head, was knocked off by the ball and flew into his face. The Indian seeing that he had missed his object, and observing an adze in tbe room, deliberately commenced cutting an aperture in the back wall through which he might pass out without being exposed to a shot from the other building.

Another of the Indians came into the yard just after the firing of his companion, but observing Edward's gun pointing through the port hole, he endeavored to retreat out of its range. He failed of his purpose. Just as he was about to spring over the fence, the gun was fired and he fell forward. The ball however only fractured his thigh bone, and he was yet able to hobble over the fence and take shelter behind a coverlet suspended on it, before Edward could again load his gun.

While the Indian was engaged in cutting a hole in the wall, Mrs. Cunningham made no attempt to get out. She was well aware that it would draw down upon her head the fury of the savage; and that if she escaped this, she would most probably be killed by some of those who were watching around, before the other door could be opened for her admission. -- She knew too, that it was impossible for her to take the children with her, and could not brook the idea of leaving them in the hands of the savage monster. She even trusted to the hope that he would withdraw, as soon as he could, without molesting any of them. A few minutes served to convince her of the fallacy of this expectation. When the opening had been made sufficiently large, he raised his tomahawk, sunk it deep into the brains of one of the children, and throwing the scarcely lifeless body into the back yard, ordered the mother to follow after. There was no alternative but death, and she obeyed his order, stepping over the dead body of one of her children, with an infant in her arms and two others screaming from horror at the sight, and clinging to her. When all were out he scalped the murdered boy, and setting fire to the house, retired to an eminence in the field, where two of the savages were, with their wounded companion. -- leaving the other two to watch the opening of Edward Cunningham's door, when the burning of the house should force the family from their shelter. They were disappointed in their expectation of that event by the exertions of Cunningham and his son. When the flame from the one house communicated to the roof of the other, they ascended to the loft, threw off the loose boards which covered it, and extinguished the fire; -- the savages shooting at them all the while, and their balls frequently striking close by.

Despairing of accomplishing farther havoc, and fearful of detection and pursuit, the Indians collected together and prepared to retreat. Mrs. Cunningham's eldest son was first tomahawked and scalped; the fatal hatchet sunk into the head of her little daughter, whom they then took by the arms and legs, and slinging it repeatedly against a tree, ended its sufferings with its life. Mrs. Cunningham stood motionless with grief, and in momentary expectation of having the same dealt to her and her innocent infant. But no! She was doomed to captivity; and with her helpless babe in her arms, was led off from this scene of horror and of wo. The wounded savage was carried on a rough litter, and they all departed, crossing the ridge to Bingamon creek, near which they found a cave that afforded them shelter and concealment. After night, they returned to Edward Cunningham's, and finding no one, plundered and fired the house.

When the savages withdrew in the evening, Cunningham went with his family into the woods, where they remained all night, there being no settlement nearer than eight or ten miles. In the morning, proceeding to the nearest house, they gave the alarm and a company of men was soon collected to go in pursuit of the Indians. When they came to Cunningham's and found both houses heaps of ashes, they buried the bones which remained of the boy who was murdered in the house, with the bodies of his brother and little sister, who were killed in the field; but so cautiously had the savages conducted their retreat that no traces of them could be discovered, and the men returned to their homes.

Some days after, circumstances induced the belief that the Indians were yet in the neighborhood, and men were again assembled for the purpose of tracing them. They were now enabled to distinguish the trail, and pursued it near to the cave, where from the number of rocke on the ground and the care which had been taken by the Indians to leave no vestige, they could no longer discover it. They however examined for it in every direction until night forced them to desist. In thinking over the incidents of the day; the cave occurred to the mind of Major Robinson, who was well acquainted with the woods, and he concluded that the savages must be concealed in it. It was examined early next morning, but they had left it the preceding night and departed for their towns. After her return from captivity, Mrs. Cunningham stated, that in time of the search on the day before, the Indians were in the cave, and that several times the whites approached so near, that she could distinctly hear their voices; the savages standing with their guns ready to fire, in the event of their being discovered, and forcing her to keep the infant to her breast, lest its crying might point to the place of their concealment.

In consequence of their stay at this place on account of their wounded companion, it was some time before they arrived in their own country; and Mrs. Cunningham's sufferings, of body as well as mind were truly great. Fatigue and hunger oppressed her sorely, -- the infant in her arms, wanting the nourishment derived from the due sustenance of the mother, plied at the breast for milk, in vain -- blood came in stead; and the Indians perceiving this, put a period to its sufferings, with the tomahawk, even while clinging to its mother's bosom. It was cast a little distance from the path, and left without a leaf or bush to hide it from beasts of prey.

The anguish of this woman during the journey to the towns, can only be properly estimated by a parent; her bodily sufferings may be inferred from the fact, that for ten days her only sustenance consisted of the head of a wild turkey and three papaws, and from the circumstance that the skin and nails of her feet, scalded by frequent wading of the water, came with her stockings, when upon their arrival at a village of the Delawares, she was permitted to draw them off. Yet was she forced to continue on with them the next day. -- One of the Indians belonging to the village where they were, by an application of some sanative herbs, very much relieved the pain which she endured.

When she came to the town of those by whom she had been made prisoner, although receiving no barbarous or cruel usage, yet everything indicated to her, that she was reserved for some painful torture. The wounded Indian had been left behind, and she was delivered to his father. Her clothes were not changed, as is the case when a prisoner is adopted by them; but she was compelled to wear them, dirty as they were, -- a bad omen for a captive. She was however, not long in apprehension of a wretched fate. A conference was soon to take place between the Indians and whites, preparatory to a treaty of peace; and witnessing an uncommon excitement in the village one evening, upon inquiring, learned that the Great captain Simon Girty had arrived. She determined to prevail with him, if she could, to intercede for her liberation, and seeing him next day passing near on horseback, she laid hold on his stirrup, and implored his interference. For a while he made light of her petition, -- telling her that she would be as well there as in her own country, and that if he were disposed to do her a kindness he could not as his saddle bags were too small to conceal her; but her importunity at length prevailed, and he whose heart had been so long steeled against every kindly feeling, every sympathetic impression, was at length induced to perform an act of generous, disinterested benevolence. He paid her ransom, had her conveyed to the commissioners for negotiating with the Indians, and by them she was taken to a station on the south side of the Ohio. Here she met with two gentlemen (Long and Denton) who had been at the treaty to obtain intelligence of their children taken captive some time before, but not being able to gain any information respecting them, they were then returning to the interior of Kentucky and kindly furnished her a horse.

In consequence of tbe great danger attending a journey through the wilderness which lay between the settlements in Kentucky and those on the Holstein, persons scarcely ever performed it but at particular periods of the year, and in caravans, the better to defend themselves against attacks of savages. Notice of the time and place of the assembling of one of these parties being given, Mrs. Cunningham prepared to accompany it; but before that time arrived, they were deterred from the undertaking by the report that a company of travellers, stronger than theirs would be, had been encountered by the Indians, and all either killed or made prisoners. Soon after another party resolved on a visit to Virginia, and Mrs. Cunningham was furnished a horse belonging to a gentleman on Holstein (which had escaped from him while on a buffalo hunt in Kentucky and was found after his return,) to carry her that far on her way home. Experiencing the many unpleasant circumstances incident to such a jaunt, she reached Holstein, and from thence, after a repose of a few days, keeping up the Valley of Virginia, she proceeded by the way of Shenandoah, to the county of Harrison. Here she was sadly disappointed in not meeting with her husband. Having understood that she had been ransomed and taken to Kentucky, he had, some time before, gone on in quest of her. Anxiety for his fate, alone and on a journey which she well knew to be fraught with many dangers, she could not cheerily partake of the general joy excited by her return. In a few days however, he came back. He had heard on Holstein of her having passed there and he retraced his steps. Arriving at his brother Edward's, he again enjoyed the satisfaction of being with all that was then dear to him on earth. It was a delightful satisfaction, but presently damped by the recollection of [277] the fate of his luckless children -- Time assuaged the bitterness of the recollection and blessed him with other and more fortunate children."

Mr. L. L. Burlingame, Secretary to
Honorable James James V. McClintic
House of Representatives.

My dear Mr. Burlingame:
In response to your letter of the second instant, I advise you from the papers in the Revolutionary War Pension claim W 4166, it appears that Thomas Cunningham served thirteen months as a private, during the Revolution in Captain James Booth's Company of Virgina Militia in an expedition against the Indians, and also for one month after the surrender of Cornwallis, guarding prisoners at Winchester Barracks, no dates of service given.
He married at Prickett's Fort on the Monongalia River, in April 1776 or 1777, Phebe, her maiden name is not stated.
The soldier died June 2, 1826. She was allowed pension on her application executed November 13, 1839, at which time she was living in Lewis County, Virginia, aged seventy-nine.
It is also stated in said claim that in 1785, Thomas Cunningham and his brotherm Edward, lived in nearly adjoining houses on their farm on Bingamon Creek, while Thomas was away trading, six Indians went there, one of them entered the house of Thomas, where Phebe was alone with her four children; after Edward had fired several shots from his house, the Indians retreated, taking with them Mrs. Cunningham and her baby, having killed and scalped the two boys and girl. Some days later, finding taht Mrs. Cunningham was unable to nurse her baby, they killed it. She was taken to their Indian Town, having suffered frightfully on the march. Soon after reaching there the notorious Simon Girty arrived, who after much importuning effected her escape, she returned to her brother-in-law Edward Cunnungham, where her husband met her. After this they had children, their names are not stated.
It is shown that this incident of 1785 was contained in the "Chronicles of Border Warfare", commencing on page 272, but the names of the author and the publisher are not given.

Respectfully,
Winfield Scott
Commissioner

Note: A letter from Mr. Burlingame to Winfield Scott, dated August 2, 1928 states, "Referring to your etter of the 23rd of July, concerning the record of one Thomas Cunningham who served in the War of the Revolution, I beg to say that this office has just been apprised of the following data:

Thomas Cunningham was born in Ireland in 1761; it is believed that he lived in Culpepper county, Virginia, at the time of his enlistment, and the name of his wife was Phebe Tucker Cunningham......
===========================
NOTES

Thomas and Phebe are both listed in D.A.R. Patriot Index.

Thomas' nephew, William, stated in his pension application that he served as a substitute for Thomas for a period of time during the war. William was the son of Thomas's brother, John, for whom he had also substituted.
