Two Reuben Finnells who claim Revolutionary War Service

in Virginia. Who served?

Some time ago it was discovered that I had in the Finnell Family Archives records of two individual named Reuben Finnell who claimed service in the Revolutionary War from Virginia. The problem is that both are claiming the same service; Reuben Finnell of Culpeper County on the DAR papers and Reuben Finney/Finnell of Orange Co in his Pension Applications. One for many years was discounted because he was known as Reuben Finney in Kentucky. Part of the problem is that only one of the individuals or widows made application for a pension for their claimed service. Thus the reason for this exercise. One it seems served from Orange County and the second from Culpeper County, Virginia. Following is a review of each Reuben Finnell and his Family and a collection of documentation relating to their Revolutionary War Service.

REUBEN FINNELL,(son of William Finnell); b.1750, Orange Co, VA; d.15 Oct 1823, Shenandoh Co, VA; m/1 c1775 to Henrietta Thorn, (b,1756; d,1788?); m/2 to Mrs Sarah Ashford Mitchell, (widow of William Mitchell; b.__; d.1 Jul 1824, Shenandoah Co, VA). Lived near Chester Gap near Front Royal, VA and was a early Methodist Minister and was said to have served in that capacity in the Americn Revolution 1776/1780.

REVOLUTIONRY WAR PENSION FILE for REUBEN FINNEY

The following are items found and copied from the Revolutionary War Pension file for Elizabeth Bourn Finnell, widow of Reuben Finnell/Finney in the National Archives. A complete xerox copy of these records are in the Finnell Family Archives.

The Pension File Jacket Reads Reuben Finney Pvt of Cavalry Virginia Line for 2 years. The War Department in 1838 said Reuben was a Dragoon in the Revolution.

This is to certify that during the years 1804,05 &06 I was well aquainted with Reuben Finnel in Jessamine County, Kentucky kept a school within 20 to 60 yrds of the house in which he lived - in the intermission of school too great pleasure in going to his house and talking with him, he was there confined to his bed with Rheumtic pins and partially blind in the many conversations I held with him he told me that early in the revolutionry war he enlisted in the regulr service for three years and served the term out and returned home which was in Orange, Virginia - and soon after enlisted for and during the war - and went into the service again and continued until its close - he also told me of many battles he had been in, "the taking of Stony Point" I distinally remember to [ ] of them and have frequently been struck with the agreement of his narrtive of the attacks and written history - he informed me of many other battles in which he ws engaged and I think Monmouth and Brndywine among the number. I was acquained with him from these years until the time of his death, he continued in the time in the same helpless and blind condition. I think he died about the year 1813 or 14. I have been cquainted with the early acquintnce of Reuben Finney all my life and have never heard any one of them conterdicted or doubt the foresaid service of Reuben Finney, given under my hand this 14th day of November 1838

Reuben Finnell sold his warrent to Thomas Coleman, date not recorded. Coleman sold the warrent to Andrew Ellison on 10 Mar 1807. E. Ellison used the warrent to locate 70 acres of land survey #5342 and 8262 in the Virginia District was located in a grassy hollow of the south part in Pike Co, Ohio. The Finnell Warrent #1910 was also used by David Bradford to locate 30 acres of Survey #5888 on Brush Creek in Adams Co, Ohio

In the Harry L.Keller Finnell Research papers are several letters written in the late 1960's and early 1970's concerning the location of the burial place for the Revolutionary Soldier REUBEN FINNELL. The information was from a Mrs Pritchard Finnell descendant living in Front Royal, Virginia. She states that Reuben was buried on his farm in "Hrmony Hollow", what was later known as the "Old Remount Station". She said that at that time the grave was not marked but she could walk up to the grave with no problems. Several members of the Front Royal Finnell Family have joined DAR and SAR on this line.

For what is was worth Reuben was a early Methodist Minister in Culpeper County for many years and considered a Revolutionry War Soldier. I visited the Cemetery in the mid 1970's and again in the 1990's and the cemetery is still there with a stone wall constructed around it, built possibly in the 1920's and contins only a few stones and several graves marked by field stones. A transcript of the extant stones has been published in the booklet Finnell Bible Records and Finnell Family Cemeteries, Volume I.

In a letter dated 24 Feb 1983 from Alton Morrison of Front Royal, VA when asked to see what he could find on the burial place for Reuben Finnell the following was his reply. "from what I can learn Reuben Finnell was buried near the entrance at the former Remont Station in a Cemetery surrounded by a stone fence and no markers at the grave."

Marriages of Culpeper County, Virginia 1781 - 1815; by Catherine L. Knorr, 1954

Between March 1798 and Dec 1808 REUBEN FINNELL, a Methodist minister preformed about 100 recorded marriages in Culpeper County, Virginia. He was a Methodist Minister in the Front Royal area, because he was married he was not a Circuit Rider.

In a article from the Warren Sentinal Front Royal, Virginia for Thursday 4 April 1940, the article titled FINNELL

"as was the call of war sounded they sprang to arms. Reuben Finnell Minute Man and Regular John Finnell, corporal in Capt Taylor's Company; William Finnell corporal in Capt Francis Taylor's Co. On the payroll of the company from 28 January to 28 Feb 1777 we read that these soldiers were paid at the rate of $6.66 per month, and generally supplied their own arms.

The revolution at an end, the Finnells returned to their peaceful pastoral pursuits but life beyond the Blue Ridge,... lured them, so that early in the eighteenth Century we find the Finnells owners of what is today the U S Remont Station."

His brother-in-law, Robt Blackwell, shortly after the C & C was completed resigned his position at Somerset as Chief Train Dispacher to accept the position as agent and opertor at Georgetown, for which he held for 18 years before his death. Another brother-in-law, the late J. H. Miller, one of the best engineers in the United States was employed to run the first train over the High Bridge. Mr Miller made a test run from Cincinnati to Chattanooga, and his record for the fastest run and the best time has never been equalled since. He stayed with the road up to a few years before he died. Mr Finnell began work for the Q & C as operator in 1884 to 1890, when he resigned the place to accept the position of agent of the Franklin & Cleveland road.
