Colonel Meredith Helm served in Daniels Morgan's Riflemen during the American Revolution (brief essay on MGen Morgan and the Rifle Corps below) and also furnished supplies to the cause. (DAR Notes. )The original company called, Morgans Rifles, as raised in Winchester, Virginia, in June of 1775. Morgan marched his men to Boston to join the army under General Washington besieging the British. They made the 600 mile march in 21 days without a single man dropping out. At Boston, the company was one of three rifle companies selected to join an expedition under Benedict Arnold. The objective was to capture Quebec. The route was up the Kennebec River in what is now the State of Maine, across the Height of Land and down the Chaudiere River to the St. Lawrence. The hardships were enormous, cold, hunger and exhaustion took a heavy toll. The little army reached and besieged Quebec in late November and was joined there by troops under General Montgomery, which included John Lamb's Artillery Company.

The combined force attacked Quebec in a blinding snowstorm on Dec. 31, 1775. Arnold was wounded in the leg, and Morgan took command of his troops. Morgan and some of his men were able to get over the wall and into the Lower Town, the only American troops to succeed in entering the city. With Montgomery dead leading the attack on another part of the city, and Arnold wounded, the attack failed. Morgan and many of the riflemen were captured by the British.

Morgan was exchanged in the Spring and went on to play an active role in the War, notably as a Colonel leading a Corps of Riflemen at Saratoga and as a Brigadier General in command at the Battle of the Cowpens.

- Daniel Morgan (1736-1802) -- American Soldier . He was born near Junction, in Hunterdon County N.J., worked as a teamster, and served in that capacity on Gen. Edward Braddock's disastrous expedition in 1755. During and after the French and Indian War he was an Indian fighter. After the outbreak of the American Revolution, Morgan was commissioned captain of a rifle company by Congress. He accompanied Gen. Benedict Arnold on the difficult march to Quebec in 1775. On December 31, Morgan led a heroic attack against overwhelming odds on the inner defense of Quebec city before being repulsed. Forced to surrender, he was held prisoner until the fall of 1776. Congress then commissioned him colonel of a Virginia regiment. Morgan subsequently organized 500 sharpshooters who fought well again Gen. John Burgoyne in the crucial battles at Freeman's Farm and Bemis Heights in 1777. Poor health and dissatisfaction with Congress caused Morgan to leave active service, but he returned in 1780. On January 17, 1781, he won a brilliant victory over the British at the Cowpens, in South Carolina. Morgan then returned to his estate near Millwood Virginia. In 1794, he commanded the Virginia militia as it helped put down the Whiskey Rebellion. He served as a Federalist in the United States House of Representatives from 1797 to 1799. He died in Winchester, Virginia, on July 6, 1802. Source: University of South Carolina History Dept. 1936

- On June 14, 1775, with war on the horizon, the Continental Congress resolved that "six companies of expert riflemen be immediately raised in Pennsylvania, two in Maryland, and two in Virginia." In 1777, this force of hardy frontiersmen provided the leadership and experiences necessary to form, under Dan Morgan, the organization George Washington called "The Corps of Rangers." According to British General John Burgoyne, Morgan's men were "...the most famous corps of the Continental Army, all of them crack shots."

PRELIMINARY CONKWRIGHT MANUSCRIPT REVIEW
A review of the Conkwright Manuscript ("Shenandoah Families" by Bessie Taul Conkwright) was furnished by Susan Grimshaw

Susan wrote: "My initial observations on Conkwright are as follows:
By page numbers in Conkwright,

P69 1768 Thomas Helme was deeded 295 acres on Opecion by Richard Chapman, the land having been granted to Chapman 8/26/1766. (Christiana Helme married Aaron Chapman - this one could be a relative). Also my Barbados map shows a Chapman as a neighbor to a Helme on Barbados. Probably one of the Thomas Helmes.

DESTRESSING CASUALTY

On Saturday last (30 Oct 1852), Mr. Tate Bryarly, one of the most respectable and wealthy citizens of this county, was thrown from his horse and killed. After the fall, he walked a short distance to a house, and took a seat in a chair, telling the lady of the house that he had been badly hurt by a fall from his horse.

From his appearance, and the singrilarity of his conduct, the lady supposed him intoxicated, and paid no attention to him. A moment to two after taking the seat he gave one long respiration and his head fell to one side. He was found dead in this position by one of his sons, who, upon the return of the house, went in search of his father, an hour or two afterwards.
Mr. Bryarly was an intelligent, worthy, and enterprising man, and a good citizen and hisdeath is a serious loss to those whose good fortune it was to enjoy his friendship
