He was an apprentice learning the Hatter's Trade when he as drafted into the Militia of Virginia. He served 3 months and was discharged.

They marched from Rockfish Gap by Albemarle Courthouse, Richmond, Williamsburg, to Yorktown where Cornwallis was then besieged. The corps to which declarant belonged was engaged as soon as they arrived in binding toether many pieces of brush wood which were used in making breast works, by being laid along and covered with earth. After this Declarant and others of the rifle corps were employed in watching the bank of the river above Yorktown, and annoying all that made their appearence within reach of the rifles. After the surrender (which he witnessed) Delcarant and his corps were marched toward Winchester, but before they arrived at that place, he fell sick and was permitted to go home" (from the Christopher Liner file W3699, National Archives and Records).
