militia in 1776, and in 1778 was one of the first justices of Rockingham,
being presiding justice at the time of his death in 1781. He lived at
Smithland, two miles below Harrisonburg, and the first sessions of the
county court were held at his house. His wife was Jane Harrison. He

in that county. When the troops returned from Yorktown, in the fall of
1781, he was colonel of militia, and was thrown from his horse and fatally
injured in the grand review held in Rockingham to celebrate the victory.
