Notes for Richard CUSTER
RICHARD CUSTER was born in Pennsylvania, June 1, 1757, and was taken by his parents, (as is supposed) to that part of Augusta County, Virginia, which now forms the north part of Rockingham County, where they settled about the year 1762. Early in the year 1781, as appears from his and his widows applications for pensions, Richard Custer (1) enlisted in the Virginia troops under Col. Nall for service against the British in the War of the American Revolution. He served in this war as a private soldier three months in Captain George Huston's company and three months in the company of Captain Anthony Rader, and participated in the skirmishes at Hot Water Creek and Williamsburg, Va.
RICHARD CUSTER died in Rockingham County, Vinginia, Feb. 14, 1837. Jane (Humble) Custer, his wife, died sometime after the year 1841. They are buried on the old Custer homestead four miles north of Cootes Store, in Rockingham County, Virginia.
