According to an E-Mail from Lorna Marks doing a Greenbrier County, West
Virginia lookup on James McNutt, there are a couple of early Greenbrier
land transactions showing the names of James McNutt and wife, Sidney.
Military Record: James McNutt served in Revolutionary War. He enlisted
with the 12th Virginia Regiment, Continental Line, under Capt Matthew
Arbuckle on 12 September 1775. During his service, he was a Pvt, Sgt,
Ensign and Lt. He was discharged 10 Oct 1778 under Capt Wm. McKee.

Arbuckle's Fort was a militia fort built on Muddy Creek in Greenbrier
County, Virginia (now West Virginia) during the Indian-Virginia War of
1774, commonly called Lord Dunmore's War. The fort was built and
initially occupied by Captain Matthew Arbuckle and his militia company to
guard the Muddy Creek settlers.
The exact appearance of the fort is not known, but given its function to
garrison militia and temporarily house endangered settlers, it was
probably stockaded. The militia probably occupied the fort for much of
the spring and summer of 1774. In the fall of 1774, Capt. Arbuckle and
his men guided Colonel Andrew Lewis and his troops to Point Pleasant,
where the climactic battle of Lord Dunmore's War took place in October.
The battle resulted in a Virginia Militia victory, and peaceful
conditions existed on the frontier for the next two years. During these
two years, militia forts like Arbuckle's were probably left vacant much
of the time.
The American Revolution ended these peaceful conditions. By the summer of
1776, many of the Ohio Valley Indians had joined the British and by
August 1776 an alarm had been sounded over the Allegheny frontier. Soon
after this, the militiamen were again sent to Arbuckle's Fort, this time
under Capt. Andrew Hamilton. After the fall of 1776, the occupational
history of the fort is unclear. Militia and settlers probably occupied
the fort intermittently during the remainder of the Revolutionary War,
particularly in the warmer months when Indians preferred to raid. Mention
of the for was made in September 1777 when Capt. John Stuart, who was
stationed at the Camp Union for (now Lewisburg, West Virginia), noted
that occupants of Arbuckle's Fort had heard gun shots. The summer and
fall of 1777 and the spring of 1778 were periods of intensive raiding on
the frontier, and Arbuckle's Fort was likely occupied at these times.
Indian-Settler warfare ended in the Greenbrier Valley by the end of the
Revolutionary War. Arbuckle's Fort probably saw little use after this
time. No written documentation has been located for the abandonment or
dismantling of the fort, but this probably occurred in the 1780s or 1790s.

Text of Entry:
"James McNutt v. William Sprowl, devisee of Samuel Sprowl -- Writ, 1st
August [17]'95. Notice given by plaintiff to take depositions of Robert
Gamble, James Beard and other witnesses of the inhabitants of the
Southwest Territory. Depositions of Saml Henry, James Tedford and James
Ewing before David Craig, James Gillespy and James Houston, in Blount
County, Territory S. Ohio, October 30, 1795, that they viewed 320 acres
and appraised it. Depositions of Robert Gamble and James Beard before
Thomas McCullock, James Gillespy, and James Houston, in Blount County,
Territory S. Ohio, 22d December. 1795, say: James Beard sent the pocket
book and papers of Samuel Sprowl, deceased, to his house, and when
William Sprowl came out to this Country, Ro. Gamble delivered the whole
of the papers of Samuel, deceased, to William Sprowl. Covenant by Samuel
Sprowl to convey land to McNutt, in Sevier County, State of Franklin,
18th September, 1787. James McNutt, of County of Augusta, and Samuel
Sprowl, of County Sevier, in State of Franklin. The land joins Jacob
Alexander."
Possible Legal Explanation: William Sprowl is named plaintiff because the
property -- located in "Sevier County, Sate of Franklin" (now *****)
belonged to Samuel Sprowl; before he died Samuel Sprowl gave McNutt his
"covenant" [a legally enforceable promise] to sell the land to James
McNutt. Samuel died before the covenant was fulfilled; William inherited
the property Samuel had promised to sell, so, he "stood in the shoes" of
