*Revolutionary War Patriot
DAR Service Description:
1.) Capt John Reynold, 3rd Militia

**Contributor Larry Smith (49376371) discovered that the original document of George's service indicated that he belonged to only ONE militia. The original document stated that the two Captains had been arguing over the men and it was decided that they belonged to Captain John Reynolds.

He married Margaret Dively in 1784 in Frederick Co., Maryland.
In 1966 Robert Downs discovered the gravemarker of George Adam Lingenfelter. It, along with other stones, had fallen over and had then been tossed under a large lilac bush at the edge of the cemetery. It is a native rock slab; the inscription is crude, but bold. Today it is firmly set in Ebenezer. He is really buried in the Sproul Union Cemetery, Sproul, Blair Co., Pennsylvania.
