Tangentially related, I had an ancestor who served in the Cherokee Wars, when the British stirred up the Cherokee to attack settlers in western Virginia. He settled in Dandridge, Tennessee, the only town in America named for a first lady (Martha Dandridge Washington), and saved by another first lady. When the TVA was going to flood Dandridge, the city fathers petitioned Eleanor to have a dam placed to protect the town, which snuggles under its protection today. A different ancestor from New York, served with Washington in White Plains and Valley Forge, his father was a militia captain. After the war, the son, became a minister in Duchess County, New York.
