Pvt. Willis Swindell served in theRevolutionary War at a very young age. He was said to have been a spy for theContinental Army. He was accepted for the DAR as a supplement, p. 205: "Swindle(Swindell) Willis b 3-5-1763 d 5-9-1851 m x Pvt NC." According to Syble Sayre,he was appointed patroller in Captain Thomas Daniels' district in 1800 or1808.205 He was a member of the Mattamuskeet Primitive Church in 1808. He wouldhave been married at this time to Ashley's mother (Willis' second wife). Also onthis church's roster was a couple with the last name of Ashley. Quite possiblythese two were Ashley's grandparents (this is still speculation).206 He movedfrom Randolph Co., North Carolina to Henry Co., Indiana.
