BIO: SAMUEL McCUNE, CAPTAIN
>From the book: "Revolutionary Soldiers of Franklin Co. Pennsylvania"

Is shown with his company, Phila., Aug. 13, 1776. Through the years
1778-80-82, Capt. Samuel McCune Esq., appears in service as a private with
Capts., John Campbell, and Wm. Moorhead. He is regarded as one of the Rev.
War Soldiers of Middle Springs Presby. Church. Mr. John G. Orr, in his
interesting article on "Early Grist Mills of Lurgan Township"states that a
stone Grist Mill was built about 1775 by Samuel McCune, and the picture given
is a fine example of the period; the land was an original grant to McCune
from the Penns. An old account book of Capt. Samuel McCune, was used in his
business as a Miller, distiller, and farmer. The initial entry in this
account book is the roll of Capt. McCune's Company of revolutionary service,
made by his own hand, dated August 13, 1776. Under Orphan's Court, May, 1803,
is shown a petition from two sons-in-law of Samuel McCune, Esq., decd., to
wit: Robert Sterrit mar. Rosannah McCune; John Campbell mar. with Elizabeth
McCune; the widow Eleanor and seven children: John, Elizabeth mar. John
Campbell; Rosannah mar. Robert Sterritt; Margaret mar. George Ritchey;
Kesiah; Eleanor; Maria; Said Maria born since the death of said Samuel
McCune, her father.

Penna. Arch. 5th Ser. Vol. 6, p. 31, 34, 134, 135, 388, 400, 440, 443, 587.
