John C. Aleshite's pension application indicates he was in Captain Rouch's Command with Ensign, Jacob Pennywit. About Sept 1777 they marched from Millerstown, now called Woodstock (Shenandoah County, Virginia) to Reading, Pennsylvania. They arrived four days prior to the battle of Germantown which they then participated.

John C. Aleshite was born 23 Dec 1755 at Smith's Creek in Page County, Virginia. He applied for pension in 1832 while living in Page County.

Johnathan Seamands also had a very colorful Revolutionary history with multiple enlistments. One of his enlistments in 1778 was 2 months and 10 days in Captains Richard Webb and Pennywitt's Companies, Colonel Blackwell's Virginia Regiment.

Mr. Seamands moved to Jefferson County, Tennessee in 1806. He received his pension 9 March 1833 and died in 1834.

I wonder if his family was acquainted with Jacob Pennywitt's granddaughters and families, Lydia Pennywitt Neff; Susan Pennywitt Zirkle and Elizabeth Pennywitt Funk. These families all moved in Jefferson County, Tennessee in the 1830's.

Henry Aleshite had a very illustrious Revolutionary War Career. He was drafted into the Militia for a tour of 3 months under Capt. Jacob Pennywit and Marched with some other  companions to Petersburg, VA and was engaged in the skirmish of battle which was fought at that place May 1781. From Petersburg marched to what was called Mobbin Hills (?Mabbin Hills) 18 miles below Richmond.

Henry Aleshite was born 19 Feb 1754 Valley of Powell's Fort in Shenandoah County, Virginia and first entered the service in 1778.
