Researching Cheuvront Family Line ~ Aaron Cheuvront and the Civil War

 This month I have decided to concentrate on my Cheuvront family line. The family line began in America with Joseph Cheuvront and the last Cheuvront in my family line was my second great grandmother Alta Cheuvront who married John Coleman in 1866.
 It is believed that Aaron was married three times with Amanda Matilda Grant being wife number 1, Sarah Richards wife number two and that he married for the third time to Matilda Bolin.
In researching I have found that Aaron Charles  fought in the Civil War on the Union side . He was residing in West Virginia and was in the 11th Regiment, West Virginia Infantry Company K and was a private during his time in the military.
Tonight I found at http://www.civilwararchive.com/unionwv.htm,  http://www.wvcivilwar.com/union-regiments/11th-west-virginia-infantry/
Information on the 11th Regiment Infantry the following..
In researching I have found that Aaron Charles  fought in the Civil War on the Union side . He was residing in West Virginia and was in the 11th Regiment, West Virginia Infantry Company K and was a private during his time in the military.
What I am still searching for is when he enlisted and when he was mustered out. These records can be found at the National Archives if I do not find them on the Internet.

I now know of three ancestors who fought in the civil war. Besides Aaron Cheuvront  my great great grandfather John Lockwood and John's brother Frederick Lockwood fought on the union side. Both signed up with Wisconsin Calvary and served about one year.

REMEMBERING MY ANCESTOR ~ On This Day James McGuire was born in 1734 in Ireland and died during the Battle of Blue Licks 1782

On this day I am remembering my ancestor James McGuire / McGuyer.  It is believed that he was born in  1734 in Ireland. James married Elizabeth Black  and I know of my ancestor John. I believe there were other sons born to this marriage as I see several living near to each other in later census records.
1760 in the Annals of Southwest Virginia there is an order that James McGuire's claim be certified proof having be made in court that he served in Captain Christian's Company of Regulars of the Second Virginia as a soldier commanded by Captain William Byrd. This order was made at the court continued and held for Botetourt County on the 10th day of December 1779.
November 12th  James received pay as a Spye for the Virginia MilitiaY, Green Brier Cert 5.15
In 1774 the Loyal Land Company surveyed 100 acres for James the conflux of the New and Greenbriar rivers in Virginia.
October 1779 James and his family migrated to Boonesborough, Kentucky. They moved into a cabin owned by David McGee on " Jouette Creek"
1780 James and family were living at McGee's Station. During the summer he made " salt" as a profession.
1782 June James McGuire enlisted into the Fayette Co, Kentucky " Militia" .. He became a Lieutenant
1782 August 19th James was killed in action at the Battle of Blue Licks, Fayette Co. Kentucky which was known as the last battle of the Revolution
1787 James McGuire's widow and son John apperar on 1st tax list for Fayette Co. Kentucky.
By 1789 Margaret was not on the tax rolls and was probably deceased.

I have found Jame's name on ancestry and the above information found there.
There is a James McGuire who is listed on the Passenger and Immigration lists index for the year 1777 place is Pennsylvania. Annotation is that this is the date and place of oath of allegiance. Source is a Bibliography by John Linn and William Eagle title is Names of Persons Who Took the Oath of Allegiance to the state of Pennsylvania. Found in this book could be country of occupation, occupation and other historical or genealogical information . This is on my list of books to find and read.
Who were James other son's and did he have any daughters? Are all the above James my James or where their others living in the area at the same time.
James is on my father's side of family as many other grandfathers who fought in the Revolutionary War.

On ancestry I found a US Veterans Gravesite for a John McGuire who was a private in the US Army of the Revolutionary War. Birth date 22nd of April 1756 and death 10th of April 1837. He is buried in the John Hammond Cemetery Bloomington, Salyersville, Kentucky.  This could be my John son of James.

Lots of questions on this ancestor and today I am remembering him.
