General Notes: Husband - Ambrose Crain

---

He received a good English education, and was brought up a farmer. At the outset of the Revolutionary War, he enlisted as a private in Captain John Marshal's company, March 25, 1776, and was promoted quartermaster sergeant, Colonel Samuel Miles' battalion of the Pennsylvania Line, July 15, 1776. At the expiration of his term of service, he returned home, and was on subsequent duty during the inroads of the British, Tories, and their Indian allies, in the closing years of the war for independence. Captain Crain removed to Loudoun county, in the Valley of Virginia, in 1793 or 1794, and died there.
