I did not find a Capt John Van Hoose in our Patriot Index.
Could you give us more information as to birth date and state.

Mary,
If not a Col. John B. VanHoose, would you mind looking
to see if you have ANY VanHoose patriots during the
Revolutionary War?
Thanks
Connie

One of my ancestors...a William Cecil married to Nancy
Witten from VA during the Revolutionary War was
an Indian Spy and Private. When I emailed the information
to the DAR, it came back saying he was not a Patriot.
I was wondering if you knew why?
Thanks,
Connie

The title..."Col. John" was just a title. He was actually a private in Clark's Illinois Regiment out of Virginia. His brother, Valentine, also fought for the colonies. There were no other Colonial soldiers in this line. There were several that fought in the War of 1812 but not in the Rev. War. chevyliddle@aol.com
