EDWARD NUNNELEE



   Edward Nunnelee applied for revolutionary pension while living in Hickman

County, September 10, 1832, at which time he was seventy-six years of age. He

died at his home in that county April 19, 1836. He lived with his parents in

Virginia at the time of his enlistment. Their names are not given, nor the place

or time of his birth, but he was evidently born in 1756. He entered the service

in 1775, as a private in Captain Faulkner's company, under Colonels Eppes and

Isaac Read, in Virginia troops.



  His father died during the first year of service. He returned to his mother's

home and enlisted again in Captain Thomas Bayer's company, and was in the

battles of Guilford Court House, Camden, Friday's Fort, Eutaw Springs and the

Siege of Ninety-six.



   He was discharged January 6, 1782, having served eighteen months. He moved to

Tennessee before 1817, at which time he was residing in Hickman County.



   He married June 8, 1817 (1819 and 1820 are also given) in Hickman County,

Mary Ann Sunderland, a widow. She was the widow of Nathaniel Sunderland. Her

maiden name was Reeves. She was born June 26, 1800. She drew pension for the

service and death of Nathaniel Sunderland, in the War of 1812, applying for that

pension March 2, 1853.



   She drew pension for the service of Edward Nunnalee in the Revolution. Her

application for that pension was made November 7, 1853. She also received bounty

land for the service of each husband. She died near Centerville, Tenn., November

10, 1882.



   Note: This is the only pension record I have seen in which a widow drew

pension for two husbands. It is interesting also that her first husband served

in 1812 and her second husband in the Revolution.
