Served in (Wilmington) North Carolina Militia 1776-1782 as shown by photo copy of pay roll 20 March 1782.
Nehemiah and Ann Dunn living in Richmond Co., GA in 1787.
Obtained land in the 1805 Georgia Land Lottery.COPY OF A LETTER WRITTEN BY NEHEMIAH DUNN TO HIS CHILDREN:
Dear Children:
Being weak in body but strong of purpose, and believing myself near Eternity; and feeling from y own experience in this state of bodily affliction, the great advantage resulting from a course of Life, in the main, devoted to my Heavenly Master's Service; and finding my prospects to brighten for a better state of existence; and having an unshakable confidence in God, my Savior, and being able to say with the Apostle Paul, "I have fought the good fight", I shall finish my course with joy. This causes me to say: that as to myself, death is a wholesome messenger - seeing that I shall soon exchange my cross for a crown of incorruptable glory, and all my afflictions will cease, decrepit old age will assume eternal vigor. But, my Dear Children, one thing lies with great weight upon my heart and mind, and that's the eternal welfare of you all - my natural and adopted children.
What shall I say to you on this all important subject? Can I say more than I have heretofore said? If I but repeat the same sentiment I shall do it in the hope, that as it is I believe my last opportunity, it will have a more lasting and salutary efect. I therefore proceed to direct your attention to the following considerations: at the same time beseeching you all to pay minute attention to the subjects hereinafter mentioned; and, as it is my desire for each of you to have a copy of this instrument, with its reading occupy many of your leisure hours and not suffer it to go into disuse among you.
1st. To you who have been obedient to the Heavenly calling and are now in the Way of Heaven, and are able to rejoice in the hope of God's Glory, I say go on minding the same things and walking by the same rule, live up to your duties, and if we stay bu a little while together in time, we shall meet in Heaven.
2nd. It causes me grief to think of leaving you who are out of the Ark of Safety. Oh! Consider what I have so often told you when with you. Think of how I have labored to try to get you to secure the part which Mary chose "the one thing needful" and in the best way I could, by precept and example, to point you the way to Heaven. Consider the shortness of time, the great length of Eternity, and the certainty of death, and of that State where the secrets of all hearts shall be disclosed, and the good rewarded as good and the bad as bad. Think of the great value of your souls. Are you at a loss to estimate the value of your souls? Think what it cost to pay a ransom for them. Look at the blood of the Cross and there learn the estimation in which Divine Wisdom holds the soul of man. Will you exchange your soul's eternal happiness for a few years or months enjoyment of the pleasures of this world and thus forfeit your interest in the Merits of Him who suffered to redeemd you from pain and misery?
What will be profited if you gain the whole world and yet lose your soul, ot "What will you give in exchange for your soul?" "Come unto me", says our adorable Redeemer, "All you that labor are are heavy laden, and you shall find rest to your souls." Go then to Him as the Physician of souls and you shall be healed. Quench not the Spirit but knock at Mercy's door and it shall be opened to unto you.
To you all collectively and individually, I have given the above as my last charge, and further add in solemn charge - not to neglect it entreaties, and further that in your deportment as Christians, you be not led astray by Fashion, foolish Maxims, and vainPrecepts of the world.
If we stay not long together in time, may we meet in Heaven, is my prayer for Christ's Sake.
Signed

CHRISTOPHER CHOATE McNAIRY COUNTY PRIVATE SOUTH CAROLINA LINE $46.66 ANNUAL ALLOWANCE $139.98 AMOUNT RECEIVED SEPTEMBER 11, 1833 PENSION STARTED AGE 84
Christopher enlisted in the South Carolina Line as a Private.
From Christopher Choate's June 14, 1833 application for a Revolutionary War pension which was approved to commence March, 1834:
"Christopher entered the service of the United States as a volunteer soldier in the year 1781 under Captain Sterling and Col. Clark. So soon as our regiment was organized we took up our line of march and went directly on to Broad River which is the dividing line between North and South Carolina where our Regiment joined General Sumpter. After our meeting with him we marched with him directly on towards the Congaree and on our march we met Tarlton's Army at a place called Shierie Ferry on Broad River. Tarlton staying on one side of the river and our army on the other side. General Sumpter ordered one hundred rifle men to fire on the enemy which was done and after some consultation among the Officers our army was ordered to march about two miles on a very high eminence from the River where we encamped that night. Next morning which he believes was on Sunday, General Sumpter ordered that two detachments with about one hundred men each should march in search of Tarlton and if possible to ascertain his movements and the strength of his army. Accordingly to the two detachments was selected, one of which was put under the command of Col Clark, the other under the command of Col. Candles (?). I was one of said party and attached to Col. Candles who marched down Broad River until we came into the main Charleston Road near where we first saw Tarlton's Army. We were halted and myself and four or five others were ordered to go back in search for Tarlton. We started and went down the main Charlston Road. In about one mile we met three waggons belonging to the Brittish. We took the waggons and what men was along with them prisoners, which he believes was seven. We took them back and gave them to Col. Candles. We then set out on the same business as above and went down the same road when we again met four wagons with five or six men belonging to the British. We took the waggons and the men prisoners and carried them back and delivered them to our commander Col. Candles. Then the whole detachment marched to a mill on Broad River and filled our wagons with flour and struck our march for Sumpter's Army which was at this time laying at a place called Black Stocks on Forque River. We marched all night and about ten miles from where Sumpter's Army was lying, Tarlton overtook us. So soon as it was ascertained that he was in pursuit we struck a forced march and when we arrived at Black Stocks where Sumpter's Army was, the enemy was so close in pursuit that they fired on us and killed one man belonging to our Company. At this place, we had a serious battle which I was in and commanded by Col. Candles. During the battle, General Sumpter recieved a serious wound either in his shoulder or arm as well as he now recollects, After the battle was over, we marched to a place called Packits (?) Iron Works where we lay for some time waiting as was said for General Sumpter's wound to get better. From thence we marched to a place called Packolet where I was discharged after having served four or five months.
On the same day that I received my discharge above stated I again entered the service of the United States as a Volunteer Soldier under Captain Sterling and Col. Clark who succeeded in raising a Company. (General Sumpter left us and as I understand it went to Salisberry to have his wound cured.) So soon as our Regiment was organized which was a very few days we marched in company with General Pickens Regiment to a place called Ninety Six (?) District in South Carolina at whcih place the British had fortified themselves. When we arrived near the fort, we received some information by some means it would be very imprudent to make an attack with what forces we had. So myself and two or three others was sent with an Express to Col. Thomas who was living on Fargere (?) River in South Carolina. I delivered the Express to Col. Thomas who set about raising troops to go and join Col. Clark, but before Col. Thomas could raise his Company, Col Clark as I afterward understood, marched to Ninety Six (?) and attacked the British and a battle ensued and Col Clark was wounded. At this time, I was waiting for Col. Thomas to raise his Company intending to march back to Ninety Six with him. But before the Company could be raised, we heard of the defeat of Col. Clark so I did not return back but joined what was called a (?) party on which he served a long time watching and giving information of the Tories and Brittish at length. We marched to Ninety Six District which was some time after the retreat of the Brittish from that place and was there dismissed from the Army having served as well, as he now recollects nine or ten months.
"I am positive I served nine months and think it was a short time over. I have no documentary evidence and that he knows of no person now living whose testimony he can procure who can testify to his services." ---- Christopher Choate's pension application was approved for an annual allowance of $46.66 commencing on September 11, 1833 at age 84.Christopher's wife Prudence was reputedly a Cherokee, a daughter of Cherokee Chief Standing Turkey. This has not been proven.

This was on the south side of Clinch River above Blakemore's Fort, known as Hickerson's Bottom. Samuel made his home here until he moved to Kentucky. He was on tax rolls in Washington Co. through 1786. He was one of the petitioners who requested that Washington Co. be split and Russell Co. was formed in 1786. He was on the tax rolls of Russell Co. until 1799, by which time he had moved to Kentucky where he purchased 3000 acres of uncleared land that was then in Floyd Co. Later, this was in Breathitt Co. When Samuel died in 1816, the had become part of Clay Co. Some of Samuel's slaves accompanied him to Kentucky.
When Samuels party first came to the mouth of Troublesome in present day Breathitt Co., the entire area was a wilderness. The house constructed was a large log building built entirely without nails. A large fireplace heated the entire house.Samuel was an excellent marksman and hunter. He always kept a supply of game on hand for the table. Deer, bear, turkey and squirrels were in profusion.
