You know anything about this controversy?
Were President Obama’s PAYNE ancestors at this battle, or is this too far south for them - apparently some CRABTREE family members fought at Point Pleasant - but I can’t find the genealogical tree which I once saw posted online.
The article pretty much covers in a nutshell the controversy. It will most likely never be settled. We believe that Dunmore was part of the scheme to keep the Virginia militia out of the way of the British. He was a British sympothizer. That’s our story and we’re sticking to it. There are lots of accounts out there. The battle is also known as Lord Dunmore’s War.
