Biog./Hist. Note  Dunmore’ War was a conflict between the Colony of Virginia and the Native Americans of the Ohio Valley. Following increased raids
and attacks on frontiersmen in this region, the Royal Governor of Virginia, Lord Dunmore, organized a large force of militia and marched to Fort Pitt
arriving at the end of August 1774. Dunmore also ordered Colonel Andrew Lewis, commander of the southwestern Virginia militia, to raise an army in t
he south and meet Dunmore’s force along the Ohio River. Lewis formed militia companies from Augusta, Bedford, Botetourt, Culpeper, Dunmore,
Fincastle, and Kentucky counties. After Colonel Lewis’ victory at the Battle of Point Pleasant, Dunmore successfully negotiated a peace treaty with the
Delaware, Mingo, and Shawnee chiefs that prevented them from settling or hunting south of the Ohio River.
Related Work  Part of the index to the names of Virginia citizens or soldiers from the counties of Augusta, Bedford, Botetourt, Culpeper, and Fincastle
who were compensated in 1775 for supplies and service during Dunmore’s Expedition in 1774. This index covers individuals from the counties of Augusta,
Bedford, Botetourt, and Fincastle only. These records are now part of the Virginia Colonial Government records group (RG#1) and are housed in the Archives
at the Library of Virginia.

in 1859, to John Brown’s raid at Harper’s Ferry, Virginia.

Other Format  Available on microfilm. Confederate rosters, v. 1-20, reel 1-10.
Biog./Hist. Note  On March 13, 1884, the General Assembly passed an act directing the adjutant general to compile a roster of all those who served from Virginia in the
Confederate armed forces. The project did not begin, however, until Congress’ passage of an act in 1903 providing for the assembling of muster rolls for all the Confederate
states and Virginia’s subsequent creation of the Office of the Secretary of Virginia Military Records in 1904. The work of the Secretary of Virginia Military Records of
assembling muster rolls and other documents related to Virginians in the Civil War was continued by the Department of Confederate Military Records which was formed
by an act of the General Assemply on March 12, 1912. Major Robert W. Hunter served as Secretary of Virginia Military Records from 1904 until 1910. Hunter was replaced
by Colonel Joseph V. Bidgood who served as Secretary of Virginia Military Records and later Secretary of the Department of Confederate Military Records. In 1918,
the General Assembly passed an act abolishing the Department of Confederate Military Records and transferred the department’s records to the Library of Virginia.
Note  The Confederate Rosters are now part of the Virginia Dept. of Military Affairs record group (RG# 46) housed in the Archives at the Library of Virginia.

There is also a Samuel, of which I have no link to our family, but he is a Teter:

Here is an excellent page with early information about:  Samuel Teter of Pennsylvania and Ohio  & George Teater of Virginia and Kentucky   (? spelling, may be mistake, may be other person ?)

(I could go on and on, and even find these on a map and make layers on ArcView 9.3, but this is a past time and I have some other things to do, enjoy. TomT)

and got a copy of his probate papers and it listed his children, one being Amanda Teters (wife of John Teters) in Washington.  I had been going
through the census records and found his name near the Teters in several censuses and the first name was a dead give away.
