bears the remark: “Acts as Quartermaster’s Sergeant,” and the roll for Sept., 1777, the remark, “Dept. Commissary.”

WILLIAM W. HEARNE, a great-grandson of Daniel Hearne, Sr., tells me he is unable to trace his genealogy any farther back. He says there is a tradition in the family that he had a brother named Nehemiah, but that he cannot find anything definite about it. There surely is a striking similarity in many respects in his family and that of Nehemiah who lived in Delaware and died 1815, some of his family going to Ohio, as did some of Daniel’s, and the family names are quite similar also. There is no doubt in my mind bitt Daniel Hearne, Sr., is a descendant of the merchant, William, or possibly his brother, Ebenezer.

The genealogical table I now give is furnished me by William W. Hearne.
