Biography

War of 1812 - Randolph Co., Va. Maxwell's History lists him.

YANKEE DAM - In 1836 or 1837 a dam was constructed in Elk River not far from the mouth of Blue Knob Creek. A mill and factory were built for the purpose of manufacturing handles, shoe lasts and buttons. The mill was a failure. Most of the buildings burned down and the place ever after was known as Yankee Dam because the men who built it were known as Yankees.

A few years later Daniel Schoonover rebuilt the water mill which was used this time only for grinding corn, wheat and making feed. This mill was carried away in the flood of 1861. The mill was then rebuilt by Hiram Lewis and used as a grist mill until modern mills rendered it unprofitable.
