Notes

NOTES FROM STEPHEN GREGORY "STEVE" LUKE (1947-2002):

Benjamin grew up in Stafford County Va. In 1775 he joined the 2nd Va. Regmine to guard the shore in case of a Loyalist invasion. In 1777 the regiment joined George Washington, and Benjamine fought at Brandywine and Germantown, spent a terrible winter at Valley Forge (althought he probably went home for the worst of it). He fought at Monmouth in 1778, spent an even worst winter at Morristown, and in 1779 raided the loyalist in the Carolinas. In 1780 at Charleston after a 37 day siege he was captured and spent 3 years in a prison ship. After the war he settled in Mongtomery County Va.
