This company marched to assist General Green in South Carolina. It is said that he carried the express mail between Washington's army and Jamestown during the Revolutionary War but I have yet to find documentation of this. Sometime before the Revolutionary war, Francis moved to Culbertson Bottom and owned a 300 acre tract of land on Indian Creek in New River Settlement, Greenbrier Co (now Monroe Co) (W) Virginia.  It is thought that in their later years his father and step mother lived with him as they are supposedly buried there.

Henry at this time was 21 years old and his blacksmith skills and his employment at the Sterling Ironworks was actually more important to the Patriot Cause----the Ironworks Factory began making cannons and guns for the new American Army.  Under separate documents Henry Jayne was again listed exempt from military service because of his employment on 21 June 1775

John "Chunky" Mullins: Pension records, copies from the Revolutionary War on file with L. Neale Clifton.

According to an article in the  April 1930 issue of "THE MOUNTAIN MAGAZINE," John entered the army in his father's stead when he was age 14, "being large for his age." Revolutionary War Records show he entered the Army in 1779, which would mean he was born in 1765. War records also show he was in the Battle of Stoney Point, at the siege of Charleston, South Carolina, where he was taken prisoner. He remained in England for 14 years. Long given up for dead, he caused his mother to faint when he returned home... From: "HERITAGE OF WISE COUNTY, VA 1856-1993. Pension: Military records show he received a pension on May 18, 1818, while living in Floyd Co., KY when he was 60 years of age. This would place his date of birth at 1758; more reasonable than the earlier reported date of 1765.
