JOHN (SIMON) LINDER, the son of George (Hans Joerg) Linder and Ann Newland
(Ulandt). Page 416 of the DAR Patriot Index (Washington 1966) has the following
on this John: “LINDER, John b 1754 in Virginia d 1-14-1834 m (1) Mary Mosgroves
(2) Jane Wright Pvt NC.” Pete Linder has found in D.A.R. records
(DAR # 368,611 A 372) that on July 14. 1779 John Linder was drafted as a militia
private into Capt. Owens’ company of infantry from what is now Rockingham County,
North Carolina (carved from Guilford County). Pete also states, presumably using
the same D.A.R. records, that John was at the Battle of Yorktown, Virginia.
(Gen. Cornwallis surrendered there on October 19, 1781, ending the military phase of the Revolution.) John Linder was presumably born in /Berkeley County, Virginia
and according to Pete’s research signed deeds there in 1772. It is not known
exactly when John made the move down the “Great Philadelphia Wagon Road” to North
Carolina, but Pete also states that John’s name appears on warrants in Guilford
County (now Rockingham County) as early as 1779. (Rockingham County is located
north of the city of Greensboro, North Carolina, not far from Virginia.) This
movement of John Linder from Virginia to North Carolina seems well-documented,
and tends to be confirmed in a couple of other ways as well: First, it is
noteworthy that he is not mentioned in the 1833 letter of Henry Bedinger as
having been along the Opequon at the time of the Revolution, even though his
brother Nathaniel (Than) is so mentioned; and secondly, John Linder’s movement
is certainly consistent with the biography of Andrew Hynes Linder in the 1888
history of Adair County, Missouri, which states that “the descendants of George
went to the South." Nathaniel also eventually moved to North Carolina.
NATHANIEL LINDER brother of John Simon Linder, and son of George (Hans Joerg)
Linder (both were grandsons of Simon Linder b. 1660.) Nathaniel was also active
during the Revolutionary War. Nathaniel moved to Guilford County, now
Rockingham County, North Carolina, in the period 1782-1784.
Editor’s note: I’m told that John Simon
Linder’s middle name was not Simon, but that
we call him that in order to associate him with
Simon’s line and to distinguish him from other
John Linder’s in the area. Jean Gonzales of
California tells me that all of the records for
John Simon Linder just refer to him as John
Linder.
Note: Another John Linder appears in Dean’s
data prepared in 1995.
John Linder (II): The relationship of this second
John Linder to our ancestors is unknown to
me. The scant information we have on him appears
on page 416 of the DAR Patriot Index
(Washington: 1966), as follows: “LINDER,
John b. c1755 d. 10- -1833 m Martha Apemon
Sol NC.”
Both columns were contributed by Dean Linder,
Columbia, MD, written Jan 1995 and prepared from

1776 In April, 1776, Nathaniel Lender was a sergeant of a militia company
raised in Berkeley County, Virginia. The company formed at Martinsburg,
marched to Wheeling, and then defended a fort there against the Shawnee
Indians. The company saw action as John Gillaspee was wounded
and Thomas McClary was killed. At the end of the three month enlistment,
the company returned to the Martinsburg area in July.
On July 20, Nathaniel Linder enlisted as a Private in Capt. Reynolds’
Company of Col. Griffith’s Battalion of the Maryland Flying Camp. Capt.
Reynold’s Company was raised in Sharpsburg, Maryland, about 11 miles
east of the Linder farms on the Opequon. This unit served until December
1776, and was involved in the fighting around New York City.
(Source: Maryland Archives XVIII, p. 51)
In December, 1776, Nathaniel Lender was a Lieutenant in a militia company
commanded by Captain Lucas from Berkeley County, Virginia. This company
1777 also formed at Martinsburg and then marched to Fort Laurens on the
Scioto River near the present site of Chillicothe, Ohio. The company
spent six months completing the construction of Fort Laurens and occupying
it in order to defend the area from the Shawnees. (Source for April and

1780 On August 15, it was ordered that Nathaniel Linder be recommended to
his Excellency the Governor and Honourable Council as a proper
person to serve as a Lieutenant in the Militia of this County.

From John Linder's Revolutionary War Pension Application
John Linder file 6352-REJECTED-Filed by Jane Linder , refiled and rejected by
Samuel Linder 12 Dec 1888. No law existing to give him a pension or arrears of
pension. Jane was denied her widow's pension because proof of marriage was
not received. There was no Bible record of her marriage to John submitted with
the original application and even though she did submit an affidavit from the
county court clerk in Rockingham, NC attesting to the marriage bond, Washington
refused to acknowledge her union. She and her son Samuel removed to Whitfield
County, GA, near Oostanaula and Rome. The bank president wrote on behalf of
Samuel that he was "a poor & ignorant but very honest sort of man" In Samuel's
letter he indicated that he had heart trouble and that they had moved to Georgia
to claim the bounty land due John for his war service, but had never received the
grant.
Also included in the statement was that John was born in PA and married Mary
Musgrove, his first wife in Rockingham Co. She died shortly after he returned
from the war. Jane Wright was the daughter of John of Culpepper Co., VA.
