Meri - I notice your posted message to Eva (my 4th cousin) has not been answered yet and since I am helping my neice join DAR & DVF on Joshua Haycraft perhaps I can help.Eva has been the most wonderful source of info and very generous in sharing.The Society of the Descendants of Washington's Army at Valley Forge 1999 documented service lists Joshua Haycraft twice - it is the same person.Joshua enlisted 20 Feb. 1777 in the 11th Regiment at Winchester, Frederick Co., VA in Portersfield's Company.The 11th had been organized 3 Feb. 1777 but the 11th was reorganized and redesignated as the 7th VA Regiment 12 May 1779 hence the 2 listings.At Valley Forge the 7/11th were in Brigadier-General William Woodford's Brigade.I know Eva's DVF # is 665 and although I find my "welcome as a member to DVF" it does not show my number and I can't find it!Hope this helps, would love to chat with you as we are kin.Ann in Daytona Beach, FL
