🇺🇸 Patriot Spotlight: William Ross (Ancestor )
This week we honor William Ross (1731–1801), a Revolutionary War patriot who supported the fight for independence through patriotic service in North Carolina. Born on August 9, 1731, Ross lived his entire life in North Carolina, passing away on December 25, 1801, in Martin County.

His service is documented in the North Carolina Revolutionary War Army Accounts (Vol. XI, p. 94, Folio 3, Roll S.115.57), which record his contribution in rendering material aid—a vital form of support that sustained the Continental forces and local militia during the war. His legacy continues through his son Nathan Ross, who married Lydia Best Wheatley, extending this patriot’s line into future generations.

He is recognized by the Daughters of the American Revolution under Ancestor #: A098600.

Patriot Spotlight: John Long (Ancestor )

His service is documented under Pension No. W3569, recording his role as Surgeon in the regiments of Colonels Pomeroy, Weston, and Wells. Military surgeons played a critical part in sustaining the Continental forces, providing essential medical care during some of the most challenging campaigns of the war.

His legacy continues through his son Silas A. Long, who married Matilda Stratton, extending this patriot’s line into future generations.

He is recognized by the Daughters of the American Revolution under Ancestor #: A071271.

Patriot Spotlight: Simeon Sage (Ancestor )

His service is documented in Johnston’s Connecticut Men in the Revolution (pp. 581–582), which records his role in the militia under Colonel Samuel Canfield in 1781. His legacy continues through his son John Sage, who married Eleanor Koniff, extending this patriot’s line into future generations.

Patriot Spotlight: Thomas Addison (Ancestor )
This week we honor Thomas Addison (c.1740–before October 10, 1786), a Revolutionary War patriot who supported the cause of independence through civil service in Northampton County, Virginia. Born around 1740, Addison lived during a formative period in Virginia’s early legal and civic life.

His service is recorded in Northampton County Minute Book 29 (1777–1783, pp. 385–386), where he served as a Grand Juror—a trusted role that supported local governance and justice during the Revolutionary era. His legacy continues through his son Thomas Addison, who married Patience X, extending this patriot’s line into the next generation.

He is recognized by the Daughters of the American Revolution under Ancestor #: A000816.

Patriot Spotlight: John Chapman Jr. (Ancestor )
This week we honor John Chapman Jr. (c.1762–after April 1855), a Revolutionary War patriot who contributed to the cause of independence through patriotic service in Virginia. Born around 1762 in Amelia County, Virginia, Chapman later moved south, spending his final years in Spartanburg District, South Carolina, where he lived beyond April 1855.

Chapman’s service is recorded in Gwathmey’s Historical Register of Virginians in the Revolution (p. 144), documenting his role as a gunsmith in Amelia County—a skilled and essential trade that supported militia readiness and the broader war effort. His legacy continues through his son Edmond Wilson Chapman, who married Mary Ann Wood, extending this patriot’s line into future generations.

He is recognized by the Daughters of the American Revolution under Ancestor #: A020913.

May we always remember patriots like John Chapman Jr., whose craftsmanship and steadfast support helped secure the freedoms we cherish today.
