. A history of Rockingham County, Virginia . time in Southwest Virginia, was prob-ably a son of Colonel Daniel Smith of JosephHaynes was a resident of Rockingham or of some section ad-jacent. In Felix Gilberts day book before me, covering sev-eral years from December 5, 1774, the names of Capt. , Capt. John Skidmore, and Capt. Benjamin Harrison,as well as the name of Capt. William Nalle, frequently they were all frequent customers at Gilberts store,which, as shown above, was not far from Harrisonburg. Itis reasonable to suppose, therefore, that a number of the menin the companies commanded by Harrison, Skidmore, andHaynes were also from Rockingham, though the rolls of thesecompanies seem not to be ° 26. For additional particulars regarding Harrison and Smith, the readeris referred to Waddells Annals of Augusta, Booghers Gleanings of Vir-ginia History, and Thwaites and Kelloggs Documentary History of Dun-mores War. In the last may also be found a sketch of Valentine Sevier, RoL-kingham County Court House, Erected 1896Photo by Dean [Page 178]
