Lewis, for Virginia..  The History of Monroe County, West Virginia- ‘Virginia Militia - Rev War Service:  NICKELL, ISAAC b. 31 March 1751 in Augusta County, Virginia  Served 3 months in Point Pleasant Campaign Campaign and was in the battle of Point Pleasant.  Lt. John Henderson was in his Company.  Drafted from Greenbrier in August 1777, to serve against Indians under Captain Matthew Arbuckle and Col. Lewis, served three weeks on Elk River and rest of three months at Point Pleasant.  In 1780 [1781] was drafted for three months under Captain A. Blackie to go towards the lakes, but owing to the condition of his family he hired Thomas Bushinal to substitutee. The group was commanded by Colonel Brown. 
 "An old history of Greenbrier Co., VA, stated that ISAAC NICKELL and Captain JOHN LEWIS, under whom he served at Point Pleasant, VA, on 10 Oct 1774, were related but that neither of them knew of the relationship. Though there were three Capt. John Lewis' at the time, Isaac probably served under the son of BENJAMIN and SUSANNAH NICKELL LEWIS, who recruited his men from the Second Creek are of Monroe and Greenbrier Counties - the locale of the Nickell homesteads. Isaac and Capt. Lewis no doubt knew of the relationship - maybe the historians did not.

  10.   Journal of the Greenbrier Historical Society, Volume I, Number I. August 1963.  Pages 10-13.  MILITARY HISTORY.  ALDERSON’S military history began in 1755 with the Indian attack on Baughman’s Fort, recounted elsewhere, which was an action of the French and Indian War.  In two attacks, only one soldier was killed, whereas nine civilian men and four women were killed.  One woman and five children were captured.
 Since that time, more than two centuries ago, Alderson has engaged in every war.
 Following 1755, several treaties and agreements were made with the Indians.  They accomplished little except temporary truces.  In the early 1770’s the intensity of the Indian-settler murdering, pillaging and destructions grew.  By 1774 something had to be done.  Lord Dunmore was the Governor of Virginia.  Dunmore determined to beat the Indians and there ensued one of the strangest military actions in American history, Lord Dunmore’s War.  it was of vital importance to the Alderson area.
 Dunmore decided to raise two little armies about 1200 men each and advance to the Ohio.  He led the northern company and appointed Colonel Andrew Lewis to lead the southern company.  Lewis’ “soldiers” were from Augusta, Botecourt and Fincastle counties.  [Included in the area is what are now Greenbrier and Monroe Counties].  This picturesque army met at Camp Union [Lewisburg] to march to the Ohio.  Three companies under Captain John Lewis, Captain John Stuart and Captain Robert McClanahan were from the Greenbrier Valley.  There were about 148 officers and men in the three Greenbrier companies.  There were many familiar Alderson names among those early fighters.  In a day long battle, October 10, 1774, Colonel Lewis and his band defeated Cornstalk, the great Shawnee chief, at Point Pleasant.
 No roster of the soldiers who fought in the Revolutionary War from the Alderson vicinity has been found.  There are several veterans of that war buried in the Greenbriar Baptist Church cemetery.  Many of the men who are credited with service did not go east and join Washington’s Continental army but went west to protect the flank of the settlements from Indian attack.  The British had enlisted the savages to fight the settlements and the attacks were a constant danger requiring a great amount of men and time.  Their service was called “spying” and regular patrols were established.  Many of these men were drafted into service.  Their declarations are contained in their applications for pensions which showed they served in Ohio, Kentucky and Pennsylvania.  In 1781 the Governor of Virginia ordered a draft of 137 men from Greenbrier County to serve under George Rogers Clark in the west.
 The last attack by the Indians in the Alderson area was the killing of Thomas Griffith near the mouth of Griffith’s Creek below the community in 1780.  Griffith was killed early one morning.  His son heard the shot, ran out of the house, and the Indians grabbled him.  The Indians were pursed and intercepted in Kanawaha.  The Griffith boy was rescued.
 Following the Revolution, Indian attacks on the frontiers did not cease.  Greenbriar County had an organized militia regiment.  It was in 79th Regiment, 13th Brigade and Third division, composed of free white males 16 years and older, of which there were 732 in the county.  The Indian attacks continued from 1793 until after 1794.  They were abated locally but continued in the western reaches of the county.  The Western boundary of Greenbriar County was the Ohio River when it was formed in 1778.
 After the United States of America began to function with Washington’s inauguration in 1789, military defense of the Nation became the responsibility of the United States.  In 1794 the first challenge to the Federal authority was the refusal in Western Pennsylvania of distillers to pay excise tax on whiskey.
 Washington recognized this for what it would reap -- collapse of the Nation and its authority.  He issued a call from several states for troops -- 3300 from Virginia.  The 79th Regiment of Greenbriar was exempted by special order “because they consist of frontier inhabitants exposed to constant Indian warfare.” [Ref. Calendar of Virginia State Papers, Volume VII, page 166].
 In the War of 1812, Greenbrier and Monroe furnished the following unions:  Captain Charles W. Lewis’ Company of Monroe County and Captain John Welch’s Company of Greenbriar County.  Both companies were attached to the Third Regiment of Virginia Cavalry.  The Light Infantry and Rifle Companies were commanded by Captain William McDaniels of Monroe County, and Captain James Hill of Monroe County.
 These companies fought at Norfolk, Virginia, and along the Atlantic seaboard.  Many died of the “the plague” in 1914-15 and were buried there.  Rosters are not complete.  Two widows in Alderson later drew government pension, Jean Halfpenny and Jane Huffman. Page 17-19.  Land owners in Greenbrier at the end of the Revolutionary War.  There were no census records for the Greenbrier area prior to Decennial Census of 1810, those for 1790 and 1800 having been lost when the British burned Washington, during the war of 1812.  The summary of the 1790 Census has survived and indicated that the total population of Greenbrier County in 1790, was approximately 10,000, or some 2200 households, all of whom were located in the portion of the county southeast of the Ohio and north of the New-Kanawha Rivers as it was defined in the Act of the Virginia Assembly of October 1777.  There were perhaps a hundred families in the north-western part of the county when it was organized in 1778, but it was not until the close of the Revolution that this section began to fill up rapidly.  Official records for the County begin with the appointment of John Stuart as County Court clerk, in October 1780, to replace John Archer who had moved out of the county leaving behind no official records for the first two years of the county’s existence.  The land tax records for the county are available for the period beginning with 1783.  While these are probably incomplete, and at best represent not more than twenty-five cent of the total population, of the area, being concerned only with the “landed aristocracy”, it is believed that their publication will be in the public interest.  If this prognosis proves correct for those include in the list.  “An Alphabetical List of the Land Holders in Green Brier taken from the returns made by the Examiners, 1793, together with an Account of the Transfers made in 1783 & 1784.”  #363  Nicholas, Isaac  240 acres.

John Nickell, who bought a farm in the Scotch-Irish settlement of Augusta County, Virginia, in the Shenandoah Valley in 1749 and who wastheprogenitor of this family in America which bears the name of Nickell, reportedhis birthplace as County Tyrone, Ulster, Ireland. Because of heavy taxesby the English in Ireland in the Eighteenth century, religious persecution of Scotch Presbyterians, and discrimination against Irish industry andagriculture by the English, thousands of Ulster men came to the American Colonies between 1725 and 1775. It is probable that John Nickell cameto Virginia from Tyrone about 1745. His son3 all settled on the Greenbrier River in what is now Monroe County, West Virginia. One of his sonssettled in Kentucky, and five of his grandsons settled in what is now Morgan County, Kentucky, about 1800. 1. 1728-1774. John Nickell (l) Born in County Tyrone, Ulster, Ireland, near Grotin where in 1932 several families of this name are still settled. In 1749 he bought a plantation of 400 acres on Moffett's Branch, Middle River of the Shenandoah in Augusta County, Virginia, a Scotch-Irish settlement about 10 miles northwest of the present city of Staunton, Virginia. He married Barbara McCombe, the daughter of Rebekah Young McCombe and the granddaughter of John Young, Jr. They had seven children* John, Thomas, Joseph, Isaac, Robert, Andrew, and Elizabeth. His six sons served the cause- of American Independence in the Revolution. He was a member of the Expedition of Western Pennsylvania against the French and Indians in 1758. He granted his eldest son, John, the greater part of the plantation in Augusta. His other children settled on the Greenbrier River, which was then the westernmost settlement of the Colonies. He was' buried in Augusta County. His third son was: 2. 1750-1829. Joseph Nickell (C) Born January 10, 1750, in Augusta County, Virginia. In 1774 he was settled on a farm on Second Creek of the Greenbrier River adjacent to his brothers, Thomas and Isaac, in what is now Monroe County, West Virginia. He, with his brothers, was in the battle of Point Pleasant in 1774. This battle was fought between the Colonial Militia and theShawnee Indians under Cornstalk and was one of the opening engagements of the Revolution; a victory for the Colonists resulted in the opening of the Ohio country to settlement. He served in the Revolution in Captain James Henderson's Company of the Virginia Militia from Greenbrier.
