The following are the names of the Revolutionary veterans who were citizens then of what is now Jessamine county, and were present at the first Fourth of July celebration in Kentucky, and the first west of the Alleghany Mountains. Their names were recorded in an old blank book presented to me by the late John Lancaster, thirty five years ago. Such a list of patriots should be preserved and handed down to future generations.Col. I’ercival Butler, (father of the late Gen.W. 0. Butler, of Carrollton, Ky.)Col. George Walker, (son-in-law of Gen. Coffee, of Tenn.)Maj. Ben. Netherland, Daniel Bryan,James Irvin, Col. Jos. Prewitt,John Todd, Ban.

He was a Lieutenant in the battle of Stony Point, and was also a Captain at the battles of Brandywine, Germantown, Monmouth and Princeton. He rose to the rank of Major, and was at the surrender of Lord Cornwallis, October 10th, 1781. As before stated, his hostility to the Church of England increased as he grew older. In the following letters to Edward Payne, it will be seen he dislikes the aristocratic airs of the English clergy. Also in the letters to Col. Luke Allen, previous to his settling in Kentucky, he declares it natural for Baptists to dislike the Lordly pretentions of the English clergy.Price's IIall, Stafford Co.,, Va.,Dec. 20 ;h, 1787.
