Excerpt from The Battle of Point Pleasant: A Battle of the Revolution, October 10th 1774; Biographical Sketches of the Men Who Participated
Randolph possibly did not know that the first Declaration of In dependence by the American patriots was issued by the mem bers of Hanover Church out there in Dauphin county, when on June 4th, 1774, they declared that in the event Great Britain attempting to force unjust laws upon us by the strength of Arms, our cause we leave to heaven and our rifles. This declaration was certainly carried to Meck lenburg to give the sturdy peo ple of that region inspiration for the strong document issued by them a year later, and which gave Jefferson a basis for the Declaration of 1776. There was much moving from Pennsylva nia into Virginia and North Car olina before the Revolution, and Hanover Presbytery in the Val ley was largely made up of peo ple from Pennsylvania, whose petition of ten thousand names for a free church in a free land, made in 1785, was the force back of Jefferson's bill for religious tolerance, a triumph for freedom that has always been considered a Presbyterian victory by the scotch-irish of America.

Excerpt from The Battle of Point Pleasant: A Battle of the Revolution, October 10th 1774; Biographical Sketches of the Men Who Participated
Andrew Lewis, who commanded the colonial troops in the Battle of Point Pleasant, October 10, 1774, was the son of John Lewis and Margaret Lynn Lewis, his wife.
John Lewis was of Scotch Irish descent, having been born in France, 1673, where his ancestors had taken refuge from the persecution following the assassination of Henry IV. He married Margaret Lynn, the daughter of the "Laird of Loch Lynn," of Scotland, and emigrated to Ireland, thence to America in 1729, and became the founder of Staunton, Virginia. Here, he planted a colony and reared a family that have given luster to American History.
Governor Gooch, of Williamsburg, then the seat of Government of Virginia, was the personal friend of Mrs. Lewis' father and hence granted her sons, together with one Benjamin Burden a land warrant for 500,000 acres of land in the James and Shenandoah Valleys, with the proviso that they were to locate one hundred families within ten years. They induced their friends from Scotland and the north of Ireland, and the Scotch Irish of Pennsylvania, to emigrate to Augusta County, Virginia. In her diary, Mrs. Lewis says: "It sounded like the gathering of the clans to hear the names of these settlers viz: McKees, McCues, McCampbells, McClungs, McKouns, Caruthers, Stuarts, Wallaces, Lyles, Paxtons, Prestons and Grisbys."

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the Battle of Point Pleasant, a significant conflict between colonial troops and Native American forces in 1774. The author explores the battle's historical context, examining the complex political landscape of pre-Revolutionary War America, and the tensions between the colonies and the British Crown. A central theme is the role of Lord Dunmore, the Governor of Virginia, whose actions and motivations during the conflict come under scrutiny. The author investigates allegations of Dunmore's duplicity and his potential efforts to undermine the colonial cause by instigating conflict with Native American tribes. Additionally, the book delves into the lives and contributions of key figures such as Andrew Lewis, commander of the colonial troops, and his family's legacy in shaping American history. The narrative sheds light on the often-overlooked significance of the Battle of Point Pleasant, arguing that it served as a catalyst for the Revolutionary War. By examining the battle's impact on the colonists' fight for independence, the author challenges conventional historical perspectives and underscores the pivotal role of this conflict in the broader struggle for American liberty. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
