Notes for Thomas Orahood, Sr.:
from "Ancestors of Clarence Richard Elvin," http://www.familytreemaker.genealogy.com:
       "Thomas Orchard (Orrahud) was born in Scotland in 1760. He immigrated to America with his parents as a very small child. In the spring of 1776, Thomas enlisted in the Company of John Pugh in Chester, PA. He served in the 13th Pennsylvania State Regiment of Colonel Walter. Thomas fought in the battles of Germantown, Monmouth, Stony Point, and White Plains. From July 6, 1777 to October 27, 1777, Thomas served at Brandewine. He was discharged in 1781. When he returned home to Hampshire County, Thomas married Sarah (Sally) Norman, who was possible the widow of John Norman who was the son of Alexander Orrahud's neighbor William Norman. Thomas and Sarah were married on March 29, 1785. Thomas is listed on the Personal Property Tax Roll for Hardy County in 1787. On February 6, William Norman transferred 100 acres to Thomas... In 1804 Thomas sold 100 acres of land to George Seymour. In 1806 Thomas sold his inheritance from his father and his final 100 acres to Joseph Prather. About 1816, Thomas and his family joined the first movement of people westward over the Alleghany Mountains. They settled in Concord Township, Ross county, OH. On July 13, 1818, Thomas filed an application for a pension due to his military service. On his application, he stated that he had no income, one horse, four sheep, no trade and that he was too frail and infirm to work. He also stated that his property was valued at $30 and he had a wife, five grown children and two children still at home, ages eleven and seven. He was allowed a pension. In a lawsuit filed later by a daughter on behalf of the heirs of Sarah Orahood, nine children were listed. Thomas Arrowhood is listed in the 1820 census of Concord Twp., Ross Co., OH.
