Biography

Reuben Amonette was born in Chesterfield County, Virginia in 1777 to William and Elizabeth Badgett Amonette. He was the Great-Grandson of Jacob Amonette, who in 1701 became the first Amonette to migrate from France to British Colonial America.

He married Elizabeth Johnson of Cumberland County Virginia in 1802. The couple then moved to a part of Overton County, Tennessee that later became Pickett County, Tennessee.

Reuben had a wife and six young children, when he joined Captain David Smyth's Company as a Sargent of the 1st Regiment of West Tennessee Militia on June 20, 1814.

Three months later, on September 24, 1814 he died of wounds suffered in battle and became the first man from Overton County, Tennessee to die serving his country. [1]

Reuben Amonett was wounded during the Creek War and later died at Fort Jackson near Wetumpka, Alabama. [2][3]
