FAYETTE CO., KY TAX LIST 1788 KIRKHAM, Robert KIRKHAM, Samuel Patriots in the American Revolution The Scotch-Irish -- who faced hostilities regularly at their homes on the frontier -- were quick to draw their rifles in the service of their new homeland. There were scattered Loyalists among the Scotch-Irish, but their number was small compared to those who fervently backed the rebel cause. The Houstons of Ulster were typical of the Scotch-Irish participation, more than two hundred men bearing the name are listed as having fought in the Revolution, many of whom were direct descendants of David Houston of North Carolina, and John Houston of Virginia.

JOHN HOLDER of Culpeper Co., VA companion of Daniel Boone PIONEER land speculator The Virginia Legislature, sitting in session between 16 October 1780 and 2 January 1781, passed "An act for recruiting this state's quota of troops to serve in the Continental Army" [Hening 10:326-327] which called for each county to supply a specific number of men. The act further called for the county militia to be divided into equal units, or classes, and one man to be chosen by lot to serve 'during the war, or for the term of three years'. If the quota was not thus recruited, one man was to be drafted from each class. Culpeper County was responsible for furnishing 106 men. This collection lists all the men in each class and the individual drafted from each. In some cases a trade or physical description of the draftee is given.

Gorin, All Rights Reserved, sgorin@@glasgow-ky.com Notes for PRUDENCE CAMPBELL: THE KIRKHAM WIVES EXPERIENCE WITH INDIANS Source The Filson Club quarterly, v. 9, 1935, pp. 23-37. An article entitled: "Rev. John Dabney shane's Interview With Mrs. Sarah Graham of Bath County." The year 1781: Settling out: 1781 was the year they [the pioneers] attempted to settle out [moving out of stations to their future homesteads], and the Indians beat them back. Kirkhams: There were two Mrs. Kirkhams, sisters, both Campbells, very soldierly women. [One was probably Michael Kirkham's wife Nancy "Agness" Campbell, and since Michael's brother Samuel lived in that area of Kentucky at that time, the other may have been Samuel's wife Prudence.] The one was at Mr. William Gains', about two miles from Fisher's Station. In the night the Indians came around the house, hooted like owls, and ground on the hand-mill, in the corner of the house, etc. They put out Moses to go and give the alarm. Presently Moses came back and knocked at the door and they let him in and put out Bob [a horse?]. He found his way to Fisher's Station. Next morning they all (the rest of the besieged family) put out very early and came on to the (Fisher's) station also. When a little company was raised to go in pursuit of these Indians, Mrs. Kirkham would go along (back home) to suckle the calves (which she had left at home penned away from the cows). Said she rekoned the Indians would be all gone. The other Mrs. Kirkham lived about five miles from the station (or was attempting to live there) to the left as you go to Danville. Built a cabin, planted some hemp, etc. One day the Indians came in; Kirkham somehow slipped out, and hid in the hemp-patch. Mrs. Kirkham at once made up with the Indians and, in doing so, delayed them as long as possible; showed them her silk dresses and whatever would amuse them. At length they put her and her two youngest children on a horse and started, leading the three other children. They told her they had killed her husband; but she knew better and only let let on (that she believed them). They had stopped and torn up some of the dresses and were tying up the children's legs, torn with nettles. When she saw the dogs (used by the whites for tracking), she was so glad she jumped up and ran before the men were in sight. An Indian threw his tomahawk after her and another picked up the next to the youngest child and dashed its head against a log. But the men were on them so suddenly, this was all they did; and then they had to run. The child was only stunned and readily came to. But the mother regretted that she had not set still and prevented, as she would have done, even this. She was the first to see the dogs."
