Dearest Ones:
Now, you will have to fill in your own marriages and dates and the
children of each marriage - and your genealogy will be completed.
If you wish to check on any dates and places, check in the county
where marriages took place - if you are ever in Washington, D.C.,
you can check in the Hall of Congress or Libraries on our early
ancestor who fought in the Revolutionary War; or around Wheeling,
West Virginia, where there are still some McCollochs living who
have even more accurate records.
At West Liberty, near Wheeling, there is a two story house, with
walls three feet thick which was built by Abram McColloch, father
of mine and Ruth, Helen and Bob's grandfather, James McColloch.
The land was taken upon a Tomahawk Grant around 1847; it
was in the family until about twenty years ago when it was sold.
Love,
Leila

The records of the War Department
show that John Beck served as a Sergeant in Captain Benjamin
Harrison's Company, 13th Virginia Regiment of Foote,
Commanded by Colonel William Russell, in the Revolutionary
War.
His name appears on a Roll of that organization for August,
1777, which shows that he enlisted to serve during the
Revolutionary War.
He was commissioned Ensign in Captain Robert Beall's
Company, 13th Virginia Regiment, Commanded by Colonel John
Gibson, the designation of which was subsequently changed to
the 9th Virginia Regiment. He appears to have been
commissioned Lieutenant, December 15, 1779, and Captain
Lieutenant, 7th Virginia Regiment, February 10, 1981. This
is recorded in the Hall of Congress in Washington, D. C.
(War Dept. Records).

Typed by Liz (Frankel) Gunderson
Family's letter from: Leila Elizabeth (Davis) Koscove, daughter of
Daphne Dale McColloch and John N. Davis, to each of her children:
Leila Dale Whitted, Janis Rachel Frankel, Elizabeth Louise Frankel
and John David Frankel.
This letter was all the information that she had at that
time. This letter and the letter from Mahala R. McColloch that is
on another page of this site, helped immeasurably in compiling the
genealogy data that I have up to this point.
NOTE:
Actually John N. Davis (John Newton
Davis), he was commonly called "Jack" by his friends.
