John Lovell. He and his wife lived in Frederick County.
William
Dollar was living with John and his wife Susannah in Oct of 1776 when he
and William, enlisted in the 2nd Virginia Regiment.
John enlisted
per his wife in the same regiment. However I could not find any
information about that. I did find that John was in the 11th Virginia
Regiment.
I am actively researching more about his service. I do
know that he was in Cpt Bruin's Company of the 11th Virginia commanded
by Col. Daniel Morgan. He was also in Cpt William Johnston's Company.
From what I can tell thus far he was involved with the Philadelphia
Campaign including the Battles of Brandywine, Germantown, and the Battle
of Monmouth. He was also at Valley Forge.
I have information that
John served in more than one regiment.

He apparently served also in the 15th Virginia Regiment.
He was
discharged from the 11th Virginia in Oct of 1778.
He moved from
Virginia to Ohio after the war and was living in Clermont County.
Wikipedia indicates that the 11th Virginia was at Battles of Brandywine
and Germantown. I found payrolls and muster rolls that indicate John
Lovell was serving in the 11th Virginia under Col. Daniel Morgan,.
John Lovell was in Cpt. Bruin's Company in the 11th Virginia Regiment.
He was on a pay roll for that company August and Sept of 1777.
Other
sources indicate that Daniel Morgan and his regiment were at the Battles
of Saratoga in September and October of 1777. I am attempting to
understand the circumstances. If I understand correctly General
Washington ordered Daniel Morgan to form a provisional rifle corps and
Morgan did so with 500 marksmen. Morgan was detached briefly from the
11th Virginia Regiment and Febiger was left in command.
Horatio
Gates On September 19 Burgoyne moved south and engaged the Continental
forces at the Battle of Freeman’s Farm, also called the First Battle of
Saratoga. Early in the battle, many British officers were killed in the
open fields by Col. Daniel Morgan’s sharpshooters, who were concealed in
the thick woods.

The Battle of Brandywine was also in September on the 11th in southeast
Pennsylvania and the Battle of Germantown on Oct 4th. Saratoga was in
northern New York.
