WILLIAM MOORE (VA.) ws a Sergeant in the 3rd Virginia in 1776; En- sign 3d Virginia August 15, 1777; Second Lieutenant October 28, 1777; First Lieutenant 1780, and served to -. He was an ancestor of Mrs. George O. Newman.

CAPTAIN JAMES MUNN enlisted in 1776 under Col. Shyrock in a Mary- land regiment for six months. He was with Washington in the Trenton Cam- paign, and in the capture of the Hessians. He was so disabled in this campaign that he did not enter the service again until 1778 when he was adjutant of a Pennsylvania Regiment commanded by Col. Griffiths for one year. In 1779. he served for six weeks as adjutant of Col. Broadhead's Pennsylvania Regiment. In 1781, he served for two and one-half months as a Captain of a Company and in 1782, he served as a Captain for twenty-three days, in Col. Crawford's defeat and was wounded and left in the field. William Brady, a comrade took him up and helped him to escape, carrying him to a place of safety for a short distance and then pulling him on a horse on which he rode out of reach of the enemy. In 1795, Captain Munn moved from Pennsylvania to Limestone. Ky., and in 1796 he located at Alexandria. He set up a hand mill there. He cul- tivated a field near Alexandria for several years. On one occasioon he fell out with Gen. Lucas and called him a coward. Lucas challenged him to a duel and Munn accepted and went to the field. Lucas apologized and they became good friends. He removed to the mouth of Munn's Run to which he gave his name. Then he bought land on Long Run near Oretel's corner where he died on March 11, 1839.

He was Coroner of Scioto county from its organization in 1803, till May 25. 1810, when he resigned with the other county officers, through sympathy with Gen. Lucas. The printed records of the Pension office show that Captain James Munn was placed on the Revolutionary roll January 29, 1821, to relate to March 18. 1809. at $10 per month, for a wound received in 1782. This claim for Revolutionary pension was filed prior to 1814, and his papers were burned when the British burned Washington. The facts above are taken from a retired rec- ord made in 1853. He built a two-story log house on his land on Long Run, and died there. He had ten children, James, William, David, John and Solomon. sons, and Margaret, Polly, Nelly, Hannah and Nancy. His second son, Wil- liam. married Joanna Hitchcock and resided with his father till he died. His grandson, Ira. resided on the same land till his death.

Captain Munn was buried on top of the hill to the northeast of the Oretel residence. To the south of the hill is the Long Run turnpike and to the west is the Blue Run road leading to David Mckenzie's. The grave is not marked but is known and the view from it is one of the most extensive in the county.

REUBEN SEARL was a private in Captain Daniel Carlyle's company. and Timothy Bedell's regiment from New Hampshire. He served in January. 1776. He was the grandfather of Judge F. C. Searl, of Portsmouth, Ohio.

ABEL WHITE also was another grandfather of Judge Searl, and was a member of the same company.

JOB ROCKWELL served as a drummer in Captain David Pardee's com- pany, Colonel Thaddeus Crane's regiment of Westchester county, New York Militia, Revolutionary war. His name appears only on a pay roll dated March 1, 1878, with remarks: "1779, March 2, May 3, June 30; Time 1 month, 5 days." He was a grandfather of John A. Winkler, of Haverhill, Ohio.

The David Brown Family.

The ancestors of this family emigrated from Scotland in 1646. and landed in New England in April of that year. There were eight families in the party. They located in what is now Massachusetts, and made themselves homes in the wilderness, and prepared themselves the best they could for the coming winter. On the 8th of November following their location, a light snow fell. That night the Indians visited the settlement took them by surprise, and mas- sacred the whole company, except one child. The particular Brown, who was the ancestor of this family, had a wife, two daughters and three sons. One of the sons was Daniel, aged eight years. who slipped out of the cabin in the darkness, and hid between the chimney and the cabin. As soon as the Indians had effected their errand they departed, and at daybreak, Daniel Brown crawled out of his hiding place and went into the cabin to find his father, mother, two sisters and two brothers murdered and scalped. The child made his way through the forests to a settlement, and from him,-Daniel Brown-came this family.

The Colegrove Family.

For a knowledge of this family we are indebted to "The History and Gen- ealogy of the Colegrove Family in America," published 1894, by William Colegrove, D. D., L.L. D. The name was derived from a grove on the little river Cole in England between Wiltshire and Berkshire. The original grove was near the present hamlet of Coleshill, in Berkshire. The name originated between 500 and 700 years past. There were Colegroves in Woodstock, Ox- fordshire. A Colegrove was aid-de-camp to John Churchill, Duke of Marlbor- ough, and afterwards the same one was Chief of Police in London. There was a Sir Francis Colegrove. In 1700, William Colegrove, Esq. was proprietor on an estate in Essex, near London, known as Cann Hall. One branch of the family has a Coat of Arms. The shield is surmounted by a crest having a mural crown with cross arrows. On the shield are two red bars across with two ar- rowheads above and one below. The motto is, "Fidea Constans." It is said of the family that no one ever knew a Colegrove to be afraid of anything.

I. FRANCIS COLEGROVE came from Swansea, Wales, to Warwick, Rhode Island, in 1683. From him all Colegroves in the United States are de- scended. He came at the age of sixteen and worked his passage as a cabin boy. He was industrious, persevering and upright and he succeeded. These qualities have remained in the Colegrove family, their best inheritance. He was married twice. He had five sons: Eli, Stephen, Francis, John and Wil- liam, and two daughters, twins. One son and the two daughters were by the second marriage. His first marriage was at twenty-five years, his second at sixty-two years. He lived to the age of ninety, and died in 1759. He was of a lively disposition and fond of joking.

II. FRANCIS, his third son was the ancestor of the Scioto county, Ohio Colegroves. He was from Rhode Island.

III. He had a son JEREMIAH, who had a son (IV) WILLIAM, one of thirteen children, who located in Scioto county, and had thirteen children.

V. His son, PELEG, born 1815 had a daughter. (1) Harriet Ellen, mar- ried Charles Walden of Sciotoville. Peleg Colegrove also had a son, (2) John Allen Colegrove who has a sketch herein. Peleg's daughter (3) Lavinia mar- ried John Duduit, the father of Alfred S. Duduit of the Hibbs' Hardware Company.

William (IV's) son, WILLIAM HARRISON, born February 24, 1813, had a daughter, (1) Laura who married Charles W. Erlich, of Sciotoville. Her daugh- ter married F. L. Sikes, Probate Judge of Scioto county. The wife of William Harrison Colegrove was Abigail Burt, of Sciotoville, daughter of Benjamin Burt, a Revolutionary soldier, buried in the old cemetery at the east end of the Little Scioto Bridge, near Sciotoville.

The Corson Family.

The name is French originally and the first spelling known is Corssen. They were French Huguenots. The first ancestor in the United States was Cor- nelius Corssen who came over in 1685, and landed on Staten Island. He ob- tained a grant of 60 acres of land there. He died in 1693 and his will is on
