Frederick County Virginia

William Dollar
Information provided by John

William served in the Revolutionary War in the 2nd Va. Regiment. He enlisted in 1776 while a resident in Frederick County, Virginia. His name was William Dollar also spelled Dolier or Dollier in some records. He enlisted 15 Oct 1776 and was discharged on 7 Dec 1779. Pension record number W. 22965. He later was married in 1780 in Berkley County according to sources. He moved to S.C. and later to Indiana and Illinois. He died in 1838 in Illinois and is buried there.

I have two DAR records relating to this ancestor. Information also was found in his pension record file in the National Archives that mentions depositions that he was enlisted from Frederick County, Virginia.

National Number DAR 646332
National Number DAR 274920

Pension File for William Dollar W22965
A deposition was found in the pension file from Clermont County, Ohio

4 Mar 1822. Clermont County, Ohio. Susannah Lovell delcares she knew William Dollar of Frederick Co. Va. He enlisted for three years. He made his home at the house of the deponent and she did his washing. A few days after Dollar enlisted her husband John Loval enlisted in the same company.

I would like your help with more information that may be available that I know not of. I know that Willliam was in Frederick County as early as the date of his enlistment in 1776. I do not however know how long he had been there or where he had come from. I have information that he was from Wales. He had left on board a whaler at age 17. My problem is I have no information about his from that time until 1776. If dates are correct he was 17 in about 1760 and was on the whaler for three years. For the next 13 years I lose track of him.
