  • Chapter 3 (The American Revolution, 1763-1783)
    SELECTED BIBLIOGRAPHY Chapter 3: The American Revolution, 1763-1783 Historians have written many fine surveys of the American Revolution, but among the best are Don Higginbotham, The War of American Independence (Macmillan, 1971); John R. Alden, A History of the American Revolution (Knopf, 1969); Robert Middlekauff, The Glorious Cause (Oxford University Press, 1982); and James Kirby Martin and Mark Edward Lender, A Respectable Army: The Military Origins of the Republic (Harlan Davidson, 1982). Piers Mackesy's The War for America (Harvard University Press, 1965) presents a British perspective, and Eric Robson's The American Revolution in Its Political and Military Aspects (Archon Books, 1965) emphasizes British problems in conducting the war. More recent surveys include Robert Leckie, George Washington's War: The Saga of the American Revolution (HarperCollins, 1992); Edward Countryman, The American Revolution (Hill and Wang, 1985); Colin Bonwick, The American Revolution (Palgrave MacMillan, 2005); and John Ferling, Almost a Miracle: The American Victory in the War of Independence (Oxford University Press, 2007). Several edited volumes contain important insights into the war: Stanley J. Underdal, ed., Military History of the American Revolution: The Proceedings of the 6th Military History Symposium United States Air Force Academy (Office of Air Force History, 1976); John Shy, A People Numerous and Armed: Reflections on the Military Struggle for American Independence (Oxford University Press, 1976); Don Higginbotham, ed., Reconsiderations

  • From the Evidence I Have Found and Accumulated Here, I Have
    1 From the evidence I have found and accumulated here, I have come to the following tentative conclusions, which vary from what is found in many published genealogies of the Stalnakers. I have attempted to include only those facts which are proven, and indicate speculation as such. I would like to hear from anyone who has additional evidence for, against, or in addition to my reconstruction of the family. You can e-mail me at [email protected]. Last updated June 29, 2006. Briefly, it appears that there were four Stalnakers (Samuel, Adam, George, Jacob), who first appear in the records together on the frontier in southwestern Virginia, from 1745 to 1756. After this, the beginning of the French and Indian War, they appear to have moved north for the duration of the war. The Pennsylvania Stahlneckers are descended from George, the West Virginia Stalnakers from Jacob, and the South Carolina (later Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi) family from Samuel's sons Samuel and (probably) Adam. Nancy Stalnaker, who married James Booth and eventually lived in Monongalia County, West Virginia, may have been a sister. Dreisbach researchers believe that Maria Dorothea Deiss, wife of Simon Driesbach, Jr., of Allen County, Pennsylvania, was the daughter of a Peter Theiss and an Elizabeth Stalnecker, born about 1710. I have been unable to find supporting records, but Elizabeth would be the right age to be another sister. A George Stahlnecker owned land in Upper Milford Township, Pennsylvania, from 1743 until his death in 1787. No record has been found that he was physically present in Pennsylvania during the brief period (1750?-1755?) when George Stalnaker appears in the southwest Virginia records, and the two are likely the same person.

Now imagine being killed and scalped in your wedding attire on the way to meet your fiancé. Your fear does not probably seem so bad now, right? Adding on to it, imagine that you were sick with smallpox while on your journey. You would be walking around with a terrible disease which eats away at the body and eventually kills you. These are not fears which we can imagine as vividly as the colonists in the 1770s could. Smallpox and being scalped were legitimate worries of the time for American colonists. Murder and disease ran rampant throughout the colonies. Not to mention the fact that they were embroiled in a revolution with the British Empire to pile on the misery.
