Generation No. 3
GEORGE REDMON (GEORGE, WILLIAM) was born March 24, 1757 in Virginia, and died April 05, 1837 in Edgar County, Illinois. He married HENRIETTA NOLAND Abt. 1777 in Rowan County, North Carolina, daughter of DANIEL NOLAND and HENRIETTA SMALLWOOD. She was born September 28, 1759 in Charles County, Maryland.
November 10, 1778 - George Redmon served two weeks as private in Captain Nichols' North Carolina company, after which he was transferred, on the road between Charleston, South Carolina, and Purrysburg on the Savannah River, and served as wagoneer under wagoneerter, Richardson, in the South Carolina troops and continued until April 10, 1779.
April 1779 - George re-enlisted and served three months as private in Captain John Johnston's company, part of Colonel Davidson's North Carolina Regiment.
August 1780 - George Redmon enlisted and served one month as private in Captain Chapman's North Carolina company.
At some point George migrated to Rowan Co., NC. While there, he served in the American Revolutionary War as a Private Wagoner. He served one year under Captain Nichols, one year under Captain John Johnson and one year under Captain Chapman, all of whom were from Rowan Co. George and Henrietta then settled in Shelby Co., Kentucky. George Redmon and Henrietta Noland had been lived in a fort in Rowan, North Carolina around 1780 and were often going hunting with the original pioneer explorers at the time. It is likely that North Carolina was the closest administrative location keeping birth records at the time. Squire Boone's (Daniel Boone's younger brother) first settlement was just the small group of pioneers in very rugged conditions. The Redmon children were quite literally born and raised in a rustic log cabin in the wilds of untamed Kentucky. GEORGE and HENRIETTA moved to Edgar Co., IL, in 1831. They are buried in the Green Cemetery on the Stewart farm south of Paris, IL, with a Revolutionary War Marker on his grave.
