In 1834, Monongalia, Preston, Brooke and Ohio counties composed the 10th Brigade of the 3d Division. The 7th, 10th, 16th and 20th Brigades formed the 3d Division., Each county was divided into regimental districts of not less than 300 men. Each regimental district was divided into two battalion districts, which were sub-divided into four com-

pany districts, each company numbering from 50 to 100 men. Colonel, lieutenant-colonel and major were elected by the officers of the several companies. A captian and four lieutenants were elected by each company. Each captain appointed five sergeants and six corporals. Every able- bodied man between the ages of 18 and 45 was enrolled.
The following camp equippage was allowed for the 3d Division, if called into service : one kettle for every six men, one ax and spade for every twenty, and one wagon for every eighty.
About the first Monday of May a well drilled officer, who was sent to each county, drilled all the county officers for three days, and then each succeeding day assisted in drilling a regiment, until all the regiments were thus drilled. About the first of October, each battalion drilled one day. On the first Saturday in April and October each company drilled in its own territory. After all these drills, and about the last of October, the officers of each regiment met and held a court martial, and every man absent at one of these drills had to present a lawful excuse, or he was fined. The brigadier-generals elected by the Legislature for the 10th Brigade, so far as we can obtain them, were Evan Shelby Pindall and Buckner Fairfax (of Preston). When the late war broke out, the militia was re-organized by the Re-organized Government, and again by the West Virginia Legislature in 1863. In March, 1864, we find that Monongalia County was in the 3d Brigade, 1st Division, commanded by Gen. Edward C. Bunker. The 76th Regi- ment was changed to the 14th Regiment, commanded by Col. Franklin R. Sinclair; the 140thi to the 15th, Col. Reuben Finnell ; and the 178th to the 16th, Col. George Price.

nomination. Since he withdrew from this church his relig- ion was to try to live up to the Golden Rule. His favorite passage of Scripture was the 27th verse of the first chapter of James: "Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this: to visit the fatherless and the widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world." Of the doctrines and teachings of Swedenborg he was a great admirer.
Upon his death, which occurred January 26, 1883, a writer thus spoke of him in The New Dominion :
"In his death our community has sustained a great loss, for Dr. John was one of Monongalia's most substantial citizens, 'native and to the manor born'; a man of large and extensive business, a physician and philosopher, a Democrat and patriot. He was char- itable and generous. Hé did not put off the needy with a tract, nor when asked for bread give a stone ; but though not withhold- ing his good counsel, he never failed to help the needy, to assist the wounded, and to visit the sick and afflicted. While he sustained a fair degree of popularity with the people in general, still Dr. John's real worth was only known to his family and very intimate friends, for he fully carried out the injunction, 'Let not thy right hand know what thy left hand doeth.' His conduct during his last illness, and his faith in his future on the approach of death, fully proved that he died the death of a Christian."
Dr. JAMES VANCE BOUGHNER was born at Clarksburg, Vir- ginia, on the 9th of April, 1812. His father, Daniel Bough- ner, married Mary, daughter of Alexander Vance, a man remarkable for being wonderfully strict and upright. Dr. Boughner, when only sixteen years of age, took charge of the post-office at Greensboro, Penn., and it is said of him, that, "possessed of an active and ambitious mind, he made up for want of early opportunities by extensive and general reading and study, and acquired a very thorough knowledge of the standard English classics and of general history."

He read medicine with Dr. Stephenson, and attended lectures at the Cincinnati Medical College. He located at Mt. Morris, on the line between Pennsylvania and Virginia (West Virginia), and practiced in Greene and Monongalia counties. He represented Greene county in the legislatures of Pennsylvania of 1845-6 and 1846-7.
Dr. Boughner married Miss Louisa J., daughter of Andrew Brown, on the 8th day of May, 1845, and soon thereafter removed to Brown's Mills (Andy post-office). In 1859, he retired from the practice of medicine, and removed to Morgantown.
He was a member of the committee which reported the resolutions of April 17, 1861, (see p. 139,) and was elected a delegate to the Wheeling Convention of May 13th. He was paymaster in the Federal army from 1864 to the close of the war, and was afterward collector of internal revenue, and was elected a member of the Legislature of West Virginia in 1867.
Raised in the tenets of the Presbyterian faith and com- ing of a family whose record was without blot or stain, Dr. Boughner "was a warm friend," and while he "could deal heavy blows at his antagonist," yet he " carried no malice in his heart."
He died February 8, 1882, of cancer of the stomach, and was laid to rest in Oak Grove cemetery on the 10th of the same month. His family consisted of six children : Rosalie, Mary L., William L., Martha, Emma and Andrew Brown. It is said that probably there was no other man in Monon- galia or Greene County who had as large an acquaintance as Dr. Boughner, nor none who knew more persons.
ABSALOM MORRIS JARRETT, D.D.S., was born August 31,

MEDICAL HISTORY.
1840, in Monongalia County, Virginia, and is the second son of William N. and Sarah Jarrett, a grandson of Absalom Morris (for whom he was named) who came to the southern border of Fayette County, Penn., from Delaware, and built the first house on the spot where the hotel now stands at Morris' Cross Roads, about eighty-five years ago; and a grandson of John Jarrett, who came to Virginia from New Jersey at an early day, and lived near Ice's Ferry. He was a millwright, and built the water-wheel to run the blast of the "old furnace" at Quarry Run on the Brandonville and Morgantown turnpike.
Dr. Jarrett lived in Morgantown from boyhood, and was educated at the Monongalia Academy during the time that the Rev. J. R. Moore had charge of it. In 1865, he com- menced the study of dentistry, and graduated with distinc- tion at the Philadelphia Dental College, at Philadelphia.
He Married, in 1868, Linnie, the third daughter of Sam- uel Howell, of Morgantown. In 1870 he located at Grafton, Taylor County, and now lives at "Oak Glen," his country home, one-half mile from the court-house in Grafton, on the banks of the Tygart Valley River.
Dr. Jarrett has been very successful in his profession. No dentist in the State has done more to elevate the standard of the profession. In appreciation of this fact Governor Jackson appointed him a member of the board of censors of the Second Congressional District, whose duty it is to examine applicants touching their qualifications as dentists. He is strictly conscientious in all his dealings, professional and otherwise, and enjoys the utmost confi- dence of his numerous patrons. 31

482 HISTORY OF MONONGALIA COUNTY.
DR. MARMADUKE DENT .- In the history of Monongalia the Dent family has played a prominent part, and bears an honorable record in the county's annals. The first of the name upon the soil of the county was Captain John Dent, who came from Loudon County, Virginia, to Monongalia in the early spring of the historic year of 1776. He served in the Broadhead and McIntosh campaigns on the western frontier, and was (almost beyond a doubt) the first sheriff of Monongalia County. He was a captain in the frontier militia under Colonel John Evans, whose only daughter, Margaret, he married. Captain Dent became possessed of a large landed estate upon the waters of Dent's Run (which was named for him), and was a member of the Virginia Assembly, a justice of the peace, and served a second term as sheriff. He died September 20, 1840, aged eighty-five years. His wife survived him, she dying November 23, 1851, aged nearly eighty-eight years. Their children were twelve, namely : 1. Elizabeth (Betsy), who was married to Rawley Martin ; 2. John Evans Dent, who married Rebecca Hamilton, and removed to Illinois; 3. George Dent, who died at New Orleans in 1805; 4. Dudley Evans Dent, who married Mahala Berkshire, aunt of ex-judge R. L. Berk- shire, and was drowned in the Kanawha River; 5. Nancy, wife of Captain Felix Scott ; 6. Nimrod Dent, who married Susan Graham; 7. Peggy, wife of John Rochester; 8. Enoch, who married Julia Gapin ; 9. James Dent, who married Dorcas Berkshire, sister to ex-judge R. L. Berk- shire; 10. Marmaduke, the subject of this sketch ; 11. Ann Arah, the widow of the late Peter Fogle, the only survivor of the twelve, and who lives at Cranberry, Preston County, with her sons, Dr. James B. and R. Bruce Fogle; 12. Raw- ley Evans Dent, who married Maria Miller.

MEDICAL HISTORY.
Dr. Marmaduke Dent was born at the old "Dent Home- stead" on Dent's Run (formerly Scott's Meadow Run), about six miles from Morgantown, in what is now Grant District, Monongalia County, February 25, 1801. He at- tended the subscription schools at Laurel Point, one mile from his home, and received at them what was then regarded as a good common school education. Being of delicate health and afflicted with the asthma, upon arriving at his majority, he determined upon the study of medicine, which he prosecuted with Dr. Enos Daugherty at Morgantown, remaining with him over three years, when, in 1825, he settled at Kingwood, Preston County, and began the practice of his profession. He was the first resident phy- sician of that county, and, at that early day, had a very extensive practice. Here, in 1827, he married Sarah, daugh- ter of Colonel William Price, of Kingwood, and the next year moved back to Monongalia, to Laurel Point, where he and his brother Nimrod Dent engaged in partnership in the business of milling, merchandising and distilling, in the property purchased of their father, which business he had carried on there since 1790. In 1830, Dr. Dent sold out his business at Laurel Point to his brother Nimrod, and removed to Granville, on the Monongahela River, about two miles from Morgantown, where he was post-master for many years, and where for several years he continued the practice of medicine only. In 1839, he com- menced merchandising again, which business he continued with the practice of medicine, until shortly before his death. In the early days of his practice here he was called to make professional visits to every part of Monongalia, to Preston County, and to parts of Greene and Fayette, Penn.
Dr. Dent raised eight children to adult years, who all

survive him but one-namely: 1. Marshall Mortimer, born May 2, 1828, who lives at Morgantown, and who was clerk of the circuit court and of the county court, editor of the Star, member of the Richmond Convention of 1861, and is a member of the Morgantown bar; 2. William Marmaduke Dent, M.D., born March 6, 1831, a prominent physician and surgeon living at Newburg, Preston County, where he located in 1863, and who is a member of the American Medical Association and of the West Virginia Medical Society, of which he has been, successively, secretary, vice . president, and president, and who now practices in partnership with his. son, Dr. Frank Mortimer Dent ; 3. Margaret L., born May 2, 1833, wife of Frank M. Chalfant, of Lewis County; 4. John Evans Dent, born September 11, 1835, died at Marietta, Ohio, of small-pox, March 14, 1863, where he was engaged as a clerk in the quartermaster's department in the Union army; 5. Dr. George Washington Dent, born October 23, 1840, practicing at Arnettsville; 6. Dr. Felix Jackson Dent, born November 5, 1842, practicing at Breck- enridge, Missouri ; 7. James Evans Dent, Esq., living at Granville ; 8. Sarah Virginia, born October 20, 1846, the wife of Thomas P. Reay, of Morgantown.
Dr. Marmaduke Dent died at the old homestead, February 10, 1883, aged eighty-one years eleven months and fifteen days. His wife, who was born June 22, 1809, survives him, and resides with her son Squire James E. Dent at Granville. Dr. Dent was stricken with paralysis in October, 1880, and from that time till his death was an invalid. Though one side of his body was paralyzed, he fully retained his mental faculties almost to the hour of his death. His body was buried in the graveyard near Granville, on the 12th, beside

the remains of his son, John Evans Dent. The funeral services were conducted by the Rev. Mr. Foster, Prof. Lyon (of the University), the Rev. E. Price and the Rev. T. H. Trainer. His four sons, Marshall M., Dr. William M., Dr. George W. and James E., agreeably to their father's re- quest, acted as the pall-bearers.
Many years before his death, Dr. Dent, with his wife, joined the Baptist Church at Morgantown, of which he was a consistent member, regular in attendance, and liberal in its support. He met death calmly, declaring, "I know that my Redeemer liveth," requesting that the family wear no badges of mourning, and that the simple inscription, "A Sinner Saved by Grace," be placed on his tombstone.
Dr. Dent, even in his old age, was very quick and agile in his movements, of tall and well proportioned form, of com- manding presence, and possessed of a clear, analytic mind and remarkable memory. Of him a writer said :
" He was no ordinary man. Strong in intellect, and with a con- science void of offense, he was brave as Julius Cæsar. A physician of excellent judgment, a true friend, an obliging neighbor, and full of sympathy, the poor will miss him. He was a stern but a just and kind father, a true and loving husband, a sincere patriot, an intelligent citizen, and that noblest work of God, 'an honest man,' whose 'word was as good as his bond'."

" On fame's eternal camping ground Their silent tents are spread, And Glory guards, with solemn round, The bivouac of the dead."-O'Hara.
IN THE defense of Colonial rights, beneath the cross of St. George, the early settlers of Monongalia fought in the French and Indian war. In Braddock's defeat, 1755, and Forbes' expedition, 1758, it is said David and Zackwell Morgan served in the Virginia forces. In Dunmore's war, 1774, David Scott served as a captain, John Evans as a lieutenant, Richard Tennant as a drummer, and Peter Haught as a private.
REVOLUTIONARY WAR.
John Evans served as a lieutenant-colonel, James Daugh- erty served as a captain, Richard Tennant as drummer, and Peter Haught and James Snodgrass as privates, in McIn- toshi's campaign, 1778. These names were secured from affidavits made November 15, 1811, before the county court,

by John Evans and David Scott, and later, by Richard Tennant and Peter Haught.
Of the company that must have gone from Monongalia, and which tradition says did go, no muster roll can be found. It is likely that it was destroyed in the burning of the clerk's office in 1796.
Nothing further can be found of any Monongalians serving in the Continental armies, than what is given on pages 56 and 57, concerning the West Augusta regiments, and of Zackwell Morgan and Jerry Archer, except that tradition further says that Jerry Archer, of Monongalia, was the man who shot General Frazer at Saratoga.
We have no account of them, although there must have been Monongalians in General Clark's campaign in 1781, in Williamson's two campaigns in 1781-2, in Crawford's campaign in 1782, and in Harmor's campaign in 1790. In St. Clair's campaign, 1791, were Levi, James and "Mod" Morgan and James Pindall, of a company from Monongalia. In Wayne's campaign many of the same company, it is said, served.
The following is a list of soldiers living in Monongalia and pensioned under an act of Congress of March 18, 1818, for military service in the Revolutionary war :

The following is a list of Revolutionary soldiers in Monon- galia County, June 1, 1840 :
Eastern Monongalia .- Evan Morgan, aged 88; James Devars, 86 ; William,Wilson, 84; Isaac Reed, 82 ; George Keller, 81.
Western Monongalia .- John Dent, aged 85; James Collins, 85 ; Elisha Clayton, 83 ; Charles Simpkins, 82: Benjamin Chesney, 80 ; Zadoc Morris, 79 ; Asaph M. Colgate, 77; Samuel Dudley, 77; Amos Morris, 77; James Scott, 75; Robert Darrah, 71.
The last survivor of these Revolutionary heroes was Evan Morgan, often called "Chunk" Morgan, from being a small but heavy-set man, who died in 1850. His span of life measured eighteen days over one hundred years.
WAR OF 1812.
Col. Dudley Evans's regiment of Virginia militia served under General Harrison in the Northwest, at Fort Meigs, from September, 1812, to some time in 1813. Great hard- ships were often experienced in their marches. At times the men had to cut bushes to lie on at night, to keep them- selves out of the water. The regiment from first to last seems to have been composed of twenty-three companies, which were raised in Monongalia, Harrison, Kanawha, Hampshire, Hardy, Brooke, Randolph, Wood, Ohio, Green- brier, Cabell and Mason counties.
