Samuel Musgrave – Revolutionary War Soldier and "Indian Spy" #5 in 52 Ancestors
Picture given to Norma Ennis Craig Musgrove by a relative stating the subject was Samuel Musgrave. Does anyone have proof of this?Samue
Samuel Musgrave (Musgrove) was a Revolutionary War soldier who fought under General Washington in the Battle of Brandywine. The battle between the Americans and the British army under General Howe took place on September 11, 1777 near Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania. The British won the battle, eventually capturing Philadelphia on September 26 and occupying that city until June 1778.[1]
Based on the research of Pauline Mitchell Pierce Via and others, along with my research, I was accepted into the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) with Jacob Eoff as my ancestor. Follow these links to see earlier posts on the Eoffs and Palatine Germans.
Samuel Musgrove was just approved by the DAR as a supplemental patriot for me. Norma Ennis Craig Musgrove did the research linking her grandfather William Tate Musgrave (Musgrove) to Samuel. Norma was a DAR member herself.
You've probably noticed the two different spellings of Samuel's and William Tate's last name. William Tate used the spelling Musgrave in his early days, then Musgrove later in life. One family genealogist speculated the spelling was changed to differentiate the child from his first wife from the children by his second wife. Pure speculation, but the timing is about right. Samuel Musgrave's Quaker parents and grandparents generally used Musgrave as did Samuel's children. The DAR database is about the only place I've seen Samuel's name spelling Musgrove.
Samuel was the fourth generation of his line in the United States.[2] He was born in Chester County, Pennsylvania in 1747 and died on 2 Sept 1833 in Warrick County, Indiana at 87 years of age.[3] He married Elizabeth Brand in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania on 10 Sept 1767.[4] She was born in Pennsylvania about 1750 and died about 1843 in Warrick County, Indiana.[5]
Samuel enlisted in July 1776 in Cannonkackick Settlement, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania and served three months.[6] In 1782, he served twelve more months as an "Indian Spy" under Lt. Robert Ritchie in Pennsylvania Troops.[7] Much of this information is in Samuel's Proof Pension Claim W.9211.[8] On 30 Dec 1834, Elizabeth filed for a widow's pension.[9]
Many of the Native Americans had treaties with the British, whom they supported during the war.[10]An Indian Spy patrolled the trails along the frontier warning the settlers of impending attacks.[11] Generally the spys or scouts were divided into pairs, with each pair assigned a section of the frontier were war paths were watched.[12] The spys were not an attack force, but warned the settlers so they could prepare for defense. [13] The men carried their supplies on their backs, slept on the ground and foraged for food living off deer and bear meat.[14] This was a very different life from Samuel's Quaker relatives who stayed in settled areas, especially considering the pacifist Quaker beliefs.

Samuel Musgrave and Elizabeth Brand – Revolutionary War Service
Samuel Musgrave – Revolutionary War Patriot
Samuel was born in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania in 1747. He was one of eight children born to Moses Musgrove Jr. and Elizabeth, who's last name is unknown. He moved to Fayette County, PA., then to Muhlenburgh County, Kentucky, and finally, to Warwick County, Indiana. Samuel is the third generation of his family to live in what became the United States of America. His parents and grandparents were Quakers, who did not believe in war and fighting. So Samuel, as a soldier in the Revolutionary War, could not have participated in Quaker services, until reinstated to the Monthly Meeting, after confessing his sins. There is no evidence this ever happened.
"Samuel married Elizabeth Brand on September 10, 1767 in Pennsylvania." Most of the information we have on him is from his Revolutionary War pension applications. The information within the quotation marks has been summarized by Richard Graham Musgrove and Samuel's 5th great grand-daughter, Jennifer Berryman at the behest of her grandmother, Beulah Arlene Musgrove Berryman and great-aunt, Norma Ennis Musgrove Craig.
"Samuel began his military service as a Private in the Cumberland County militia. He was assigned to the 4th Battalion and served in the 8th Company. He refers to his immediate superior officer as "Captain Jack."His first day's march carried them toward Shippenstown, now named Shippensburg. A sixty mile march to the Susquehanna River carried them through Carlisle. He related that they "went on the river" to Lancaster County where they enjoyed a short few days of rest. Captain Jack took his men down the main road to Chester County and to Philadelphia. (When traveling through Lancaster and Chester Counties, he was traveling near the area where he was born and raised.) Crossing the Schuylkill River on a floating bridge, they arrived in Philadelphia and were given ten days rest after being assigned to barracks.
"They next traveled by sloop on the Delaware River to Trenton, New Jersey.
Revolutionary War Flag
With Long Island, New York, as their destination, they marched through Princeton and arrived in time for the battle on August 27, 1776. Approximately 3,500 colonists were under the command of Generals Washington, Sullivan, Putnam and Sterling. They suffered casualties of about 300 killed and 1,100 wounded or captured while facing a superior force of British troops. Using fog to cover their departure, the colonists crossed the East River in small boats. His unit returned to Philadelphia and, after a few days was verbally discharged and told to return to his home.
"He was welcomed with open arms by Elizabeth and four children, Huldah, Moses, Mary and Samuel Davies. During this break in his militia service, David was born. In July 1777, Samuel began another three months of service in the militia. He relates that his officers were William Duffle, George Crawford and John Cunningham who were under the command of Colonel Jonas McCoy. His company marched into Delaware and remained there a short time until General Washington moved his army back to New Port, Pennsylvania. Recrossing the Brandywine River, his company joined forces with a battalion of riflemen under a Colonel Erwin. As a part of a scouting party, Samuel was sent to Tron Hill to determine the size of the British force and their positions. (Battle of Brandywine.)
"He and others of his militia were sent to march with a group of Regulars to Chadd's Ford where they were positioned to the right of the army for the battle which occurred on September 11, 1777. This time the colonists were more evenly matched. About 11,000 men fought under General Washington. British Generals Howe, Cornwallis and Knyphausen led about 12,500 troops and suffered 90 killed and 480 wounded or captured.
"Following the battle, Samuel's unit returned to Philadelphia. He was ill and furloughed for two weeks. He stayed with his sister at Chadd's Ford. Upon return to his unit, he was still too ill to travel and, since his three months were up, was discharged.
"In 1782, he was drafted again to serve his country as an Indian scout (spy-from DAR records.)Leaving behind two more children, James and Elizabeth, he served two months. Scouting in groups of five, six or seven men, they were based in a stockade fort at Hannahtown, Pennsylvania (the town had been burned by Indians) and served under Lt. Robert Ritche.
Their remaining children were born following this last term of service to his country. Sarah, Jane and William were born in Fayette County, Pennsylvania and the youngest, Ann in Monongalia County, Virginia, now West Virginia.
Samuel and Elizabeth moved to Warrick County, Indiana."*
Samuel Musgrove was awarded a pension for his Revolutionary War Service receiving $26.66 per annum from March 4, 1821, issued December 9, 1833.

Elizabeth Musgrove also applied for a pension on January 30, 1843, age 93, from Warwick County, Ind., as the widow of Samuel Musgrove, who had died on September 2, 1834. Bible records proving the birth dates of their children were filed: Huldah, b 10 June 1768; Moses, b 8 May 1770; Mary, b 22 June 1772; Samuel Davies, b 22 mar 1775; David, b 22 Nov 1776; Elizabeth, b 25 July 1781; Sarah, b 21 Nov 1783; William, b 19 May 1788; Margaret, b 17 June 1780 and Ann, b 19 Dec 1790. Their son, Moses, is our ancestor.
NOTE: In DAR records and in the National Genealogical Society Quarterly article, Samuel's last name is listed as MUSGROVE, though other records, including gravestone, say MUSGRAVE.

Moses Musgrave – His life and his will, with an analysis by the author
Moses Musgrave, son of Oswin, was bom in Belfast, Northern Ireland about 1667. MOSES died about 5 Mar 1725/6 in Lancaster County, Pa., at about 58 years of age. He married ELIZABETH in Chester County, Pennsylvania, about 1700.
From the Quaker records, Moses must have been unfortunate in his "affairs of the heart" for at a Monthly Meeting on June 5th, 1695, Moses Musgrave and Grace Roberts said their intentions of marriage. A month later they said their intentions again. We don't know whether Moses and Grace changed their minds and did not marry or whether they married and she died.
On December 28, 1697, he requested a certificate to marry Patience Hussey, daughter of John Hussey of New Castle County. Moses was asked to bring his Mother's consent. We don't know if he married Patience. We do know, a few years later John Hussey's Will did not mention a child Patience, nor did it mention any children of Patience's.
We know Moses did marry Elizabeth who was the mother of his children and named in his will.
On June 3, 1693 Moses was made a defendant in a suit of alleged defamation of character brought by Phillip Yarnell. Moses succeeded in vindicating himself of the charge and the court ordered Yarnell to pay the costs of the case. The final will of Moses is transcribed and analyzed below.
The Will of Moses Musgrave -spelling is as transcribed from the will
I, Moses Musgrave, of Sadsbury in the County of Chester, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Yeoman*, being sick in body, but praise be to God of sound and perfect memory, do make this my last Will and Testament, Revoking all others formerly made. First and foremost I commend my soul into the hands of Almighty God and my body to a decent burial. I will that all my debts and funeral expenses shall be paid; and as touching all such temporal estate as it has pleased God to bestow upon me, I give and dispose thereof as followeth:
Item. I give to my dear wife, Elizabeth, all and every of my household goods and cart and plows and gears and all my other plantation** tools and all my homed cattell and five horses and a mare and colt, she to pay to my youngest son, John, when he shall become of age, thirty pounds, lawful money of die Province. I likewise give to my son, John, one gray mare.
*Yeoman – Someone who owned and worked his own land with the help of his sons and, rarely, hired hands. In colonial Pennsylvania, the yeoman was the rural majority. As a class, yeomen were considered to be above renters and below gentlemen. To the yeoman, working the land was considered to be a way of life, rather than a business to generate cash. Land was something to keep in the family and pass down to future generations. In that time, a farmer was someone who rented land and laborers, to generate cash, with no loyalties to the land.
**Plantation – In Pennsylvania, farms were called plantations. Not to be confused with southern plantations, where most labor was done by slaves. In Pennsylvania at the time, 250 acres was considered the need for a family plantation. At the time of his death, Moses Sr. had acquired 500 acres of the 750 acres he would have needed to provide adequate land for each of his sons.
Item. I give to my oldest son, Moses Musgrave, and his heirs forever, the place I now live on containing 250 acres, and all improvements and one chestnut-colored mare and colt and my gun, for and in consideration of his providing sufficient house room upon the said place for my loving wife, his mother, during her widowhood and providing sufficient maintenance, winter and summer for one cow and one horse and to provide sufficient fire wood. These provisions are to be made but during her widowhood.
Item. I give and bequeath unto my son, Aaron Musgrave, and to his heirs and assigns, 250 acres of land lying and joining to Roger Dyers in the Great Valley and I give to my son, Aaron, one brown mare and colt, for and in consideration of his paying to his brother, Moses, one pound current money every year after he becomes of age, yearly during my wife's widowhood, as long as she lives, but no longer.
Item. I give to my daughter, Jean, one dark brown mare and two young brown horses and another mare two years old, and her colt, with their increase, from date hereof.
Now the use of my plantation I doth ordain for to bring or raise up my children in ye hands of my wife until my son, Moses, comes to one and twenty years of age; but if my wife should marry, the date thereof, I do appoint my friend*, Abraham Marshall and Zekiall Harland, for to oversee and take care of my children and to take care of my said plantation and to see that neither children nor plantation is hurt and I doth authorize and empower the aforesaid Abraham Marshall and Zekiall Harland to put my
children to trades and to disinherit any man and my wife of ye plantation, if need be required. Lastly, I make, appoint and constitute Abraham Marshall and my loving wife, Elizabeth, to be sole executors of this my last Will and Testament. In Witness thereof, I have herunto set my hand and seal this ye 5th day of the first month, 1726.

Comments – Moses Musgrave will**
Moses' brother, John, was the first Musgrave of our family line to come to American. In 1682, at the age fifteen, John came from Ireland with Valentine Hollingsworth, one of the leaders of the Quakers, as an indentured servant. John spent his four years with Hollingsworth; then we have records of John and Moses together in Pennsylvania, along with their father, Oswin and mother Elizabeth. John, Moses, and their three brothers, Aaron, Thomas and Abraham (five Quaker brothers, with the last three born in Pennsylvania) were among the first settlers in the valley of Sadsbury, Lancaster County.
By 1713, John and Moses owned rich valley land on Octoraro Creek and were within the bounds of the Sadsbury Quaker Monthly Meeting in Chester County, which was later split to make Lancaster County. Both John and Moses signed their documents, so were literate, as were most Quakers.
* Friend – term used for a member of a Quaker monthly meeting.
**Author's note – I conducted the following research on Moses' will to figure present worth and analyzed the social customs of the times. These comments, follow-up section and research notes are from my research. amp
Moses was about 59 years old when he died. His will named his wife, Elizabeth, and also his children. Moses Musgrave and Elizabeth Fischer had the following children:
Moses Musgrave was bom about 1711, about age 15 when his father died.
Jean Musgrave, daughter, was bom about 1712, about age 14 when her father died.
Aaron Musgrave was bom about 1713, about age 13 when his father died.
John Musgrave was born about 1719, about age 5 when his father died.
Elizabeth was alive at the time Moses' will was written, but must have died within a year. We have a record dated April 26, 1727, where, what is most probably, young Moses Musgrave requested a survey to sell 300 acres on a Branch of the Octoraro, next to Robert Dyer. In their father's will, this land was left to Aaron, who later became a merchant in Philadelphia. Moses would have been about 16 at the time, which seems under the age of majority for this type of transaction, so we assume Elizabeth had died within a year of her husband. I did see other probate records with other sons receiving their inheritance at age 14.
The statements in first section of the will are typical of wills of that time and place. In wills, Quaker families divided property equality, not only between sons, but between sons and daughters. Horses were valuable property, generating cash when sold mainly for use on plantations on the coast or, perhaps, export to the Caribbean Islands. Daughters typically did not inherit land, but they were given their part of the personal estate at marriage or upon reaching age eighteen or twenty one. So Jean didn't do too badly in receiving the horses. In addition, she would have received the rest of her equal part, at eighteen or twenty one years of age or when she married.
Moses Sr. was determined that no man should marry his wife and step in and deprive his children of their inheritance, which he had worked so hard to create out of the frontier wilderness. In this matter, his will was no different than other wills of that time and place.

Moses Sr. left his household and farm equipment to his wife. We do not know how that was distributed. We do know that Moses Jr. sold 300 acres of land, while the land in the will was divided equally at 250 acres, between Moses and Aaron. Perhaps, Moses gave the proceeds of the sale of 50 acres to Aaron to make up for Moses keeping the household and farm equipment, since Aaron left the county.
Perhaps, Moses Sr.'s larger legacy was having the courage to come to this country as a young man. Soon after arrival in this country, he headed to the frontier helping to start this new country on its path. Several of his sons and grandsons, even though Quakers, supported the Revolutionary War, even taking up arms in support of the new country. Many of his descendents continued the westward journey into Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Oklahoma and all the way to California, taking his yeoman culture and love of the land with them.
Moses Jr. married Elizabeth and had eight children. After several years, he sold most of his land and moved close to Sadsbury. When he died on January 13, 1790, the Overseers of the poor informed the meeting that "Elizabeth Musgrave was placed with her daughter at 5 shillings per week," so she must not have had any savings. Elizabeth died on April 2, 1791. Two of their five sons served in the Revolutionary Army, including my 5th great grandfather–Samuel Musgrave, who served in the Revolutionary War.
No further records have been found for Jean.
Aaron became a successful merchant in Philadelphia. He signed a loyalty oath for the new United States of American. He and his wife, Elizabeth Walter, had five children. His son, Joseph, married Esther, "the flower of Kennett," who was also proclaimed as very intelligent and possessed 3000 acres of land. Joseph and Esther had six children, one who became a physician and, another, a silversmith of some renown.
For John, we have less information. We know he did marry, but we don't know her name. The last record of John shows him having 50 acres in Lancaster County in 1772 with two sons renting from him. One son served in the Revolutionary Army.
Research Notes on Will of Moses Musgrave
Abstracts and Administrations 1713-1825: January 5, 1725/6. April 7, 1726. A. 189. The will was probated April 7th, 1726, and is recorded in Will Book A, page 189, in the Court House at West Chester, Chester County, Pennsylvania.
Note on dates: Before 1752, March 25th (Feast of the Annunciation) was the first day of the new year by traditional acceptance of the ecclesiastical calendar. When the Gregorian calendar was adopted double dates were used from January lst until March 25th. In some cases, the dates are followed by the Will Book letter and page number. So Moses probably died in March 1726 (current calendar), with his will probated in April.

Between 1675 and 1725, many Quakers left England and came to the Delaware River area of Pennsylvania. There were Quakers in New England earlier, who came as Puritans and were converted by Quaker missionaries.
The Quakers in our Musgrave family line probably became Quakers in England and traveled to Ireland because of persecution. They left Ireland (thus were called Irish Quakers), not so much because of persecution (although they were persecuted), but because of economic issues.
The Quaker view of the Bible was different from the Puritan view, with an emphasis on the New Testament and no formal doctrine, no formal worship service, and no ordained ministers. With their different customs, Quakers were driven out of the Massachusetts Bay Colony to Rhode Island and out from there. Quaker doctrine might be described as one of love and light, at least among Quakers.
The Quakers came from the lower middle class of English society. They were farmers, craftsmen, laborers, and servants. There were fewer servants in a Quaker household, but, when there were servants, they were treated as family. Fortunately for genealogists, Quakers did have a highly organized system of meetings and record keeping.
The Quakers had a strict set of marriage customs, with approvals required by the congregation and parents. The marriage ceremony was very simple. A Quaker could not marry a non-Quaker. If they did, they were disowned, with several example of this in our later family lines.
The Quakers believed that souls had no gender. Men and women were equal and were to be helpmates for each other. So equal were they, that the Quakers even allowed women to be preachers. Their households were less male dominant. They believed that sex was to be confined to marriage and went to great pains in their style of dress to keep it that way.
The rearing of children was done in an atmosphere of loving, nurturing, and sheltering. Rewards were usually used and not punishments. Corporal punishment was rare. There was a strict behavior code and the community helped to instill it in their children. Children lived at home until married.
While many Quakers were literate, they were hostile toward public schools and home schooled their children, when possible.
Quakers lived on farms, surrounding a village. The village and surrounding farms made up a township.
