Pendletonians in Military Service Between 1775 and 1861*
The number of Pendleton pioneers who served in the Con- tinental army during the Revolution, or in the militia service,
* This county furnished no organized command for the Mexican war. but there were probably a few natives of Pendleton among the soldiers.

was undoubtedly very considerable, but our present knowl- edge in the matter is exceedingly incomplete. No record of the number appears to have been preserved, even in the ar- chives of Augusta and Rockingham. The following men are known to have been in the American service.
Bargerhoff, Nicholas.

McQuain, Alexander.

In 1840, the following Revolutionary pensioners were living in this county. Their ages are also given:
Charles Borrer-83, Thomas (?) Deverick, Sr .- 78, Michael Eagle-79, Michael Hoover-88, Thomas Kinkead-76, Wil- liam Lawrence-73, Edward Morton-76, Zachariah Rexroad, Jr .- 79, George Rymer, Sr .- 90, Eli B. Wilson-84.
In 1794 an army of 15,000 men, under the command of Governor Henry Lee of Virginia, was sent to put down the Whiskey Insurrection in Pennsylvania. Pendleton furnished at least one company, and it was commanded by Captain James Patterson. It was ordered that the names of the company be put on record, and this was probably done but the list is not known to be in existence.
During the war of 1812, Captain Jesse Hinkle led a company of Pendleton troops to Norfolk. The following are the only names of Pendleton men in that war of whom we have any knowledge:
Bolton, Jacob.
Keister, Frederick.
Calhoun, William.
Lamb, Michael.
Hevener, George.
McQuain, Duncan.
Hinkle, Jesse-Captain. Nelson, Benham.
Hoover Ines.
Vandeventer, George.
Pendletonians in the War of 1861-Federal and State Service*
Pendleton did not contribute an organized command for the Federal Army in the War Between the States. But several men enlisted in West Virginia regiments, or in regiments from other states. The following are such of their names as have been furnished to us :
* No command was raised in this county for the war with Spain in 1898, and no native of Pendleton is known to have enlisted elsewhere. M. S. Hodges served in Company K, Fourth Ohio.
403
Calhoun, Jacob.
Day, Samuel M .- died in Salisbury prison.
Day, George-died in service.
Hinkle, Abraham.
Ketterman, Nicholas-served in an Illinois regiment.
Miller, John A .- private of Co. I, Seventh West Virginia Infantry.
Montony, Goliday.
Shreve, Cyrus H.
In the north of the county the men sympathizing with the Federal cause and resisting enlistment in the Confederate service formed themselves into armed organizations. They became state troops under the government of West Virginia, but were not in the Federal service. The companies of Captain Boggs and Captain Mallow were accredited to Pen- dleton. Other Pendleton men served in the companies of Captain Bond and Captain Snider but the former company was more properly a Hardy command and the latter was chiefly composed of Randolph men. Not being put in posses- sion of the muster rolls of those companies, we are not able to present a full list of the Pendleton men who served in them.

Some Account of Confederate Regiments Containing Pen- dleton Men
The Pendleton regiment of State Militia-the Forty-Sixth -was commanded at the outbreak of the war by Col. Jehu F. Johnson. It was called out in the spring of 1861, and saw a brief term of service under Stonewall Jackson in the lower extremity of the South Branch valley. It was soon disbanded, the members generally enlisting in the volunteer regiments of the Confederate service.
The Franklin Guards were a volunteer company of militia, and were organized not later than the spring of 1859. One of the lieutenants was quite vexed that the command was not called out at the time of the John Brown raid at Harper's Ferry. They uniformed themselves in a dark blue suit with black hat and a plume, and were furnished with arms by the state. They were a picked body of men 110 strong. Under Capt. John B. Moomau, they marched about May 10, 1861, to join the force under Porterfield at Grafton. A second com- pany of the same nature was the Pendleton Rifles, organized at Hightown from members of the militia regiment. Under Capt. David C. Anderson, it marched May 18, also to join Porterfield. These companies were at first a part of Reger's Battalion, and were present at Philippi. At the time of the fighting around Beverly, the Rifles were at Laurel Hill and were not engaged. The Guards were at Rich Mountain, where many of them were captured. They were paroled at Beverly, and exchanged the following year. As distinct commands these companies went out of existence, becoming companies F and K of the 31st Infantry, and upon a reorganization the following spring they became E and K of the 25th.
