During the Revolutionary War period (1775-1783) the situation in the area that was to be Stokes County presented three distinct problems: first the British, second the Indians who had been encouraged by the British to step up their actions against the settlers, and lastly were the Tories (British Loyalists).
Squads of local militia under the command of Joseph Winston, Jack Martin, and Matthew Moore were responsible for keeping the Tories, Indians and British from this region. Visitors can visit the ruins of Revolutionary War hero Colonel Jack Martin’s 3-story home, The Rock House. The site once served as mustering ground for local militias in the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812.
The Stokes County region was fortunate to be left unscarred by actual battle during the Revolutionary War.

Nicholas Yager
Sex: M
Born: 28 MAY 1676 Weichersbach, Hesse, Germany
Died: 6 APR 1764 Hebron Community, Madison, VA
Notes:
!Original spelling Jager. English variations: Yager, Jeager, and Yeager. Nicholas and wife, Mary, emigrated to Virginia in 1717 with their two children, Adam and Mary. Nicholas intended to join brothers, Adam & Henry, in PA (1717), but the ship was blown off course, landing in Norfolk, VA. Capt. Scott indentured the family to Gov. Spotswood who worked them in his mines for 8 years. He proved his importation papers on July 13, 1722 and again on May. Additional data from material prepared by Vaughan & Jean PARRISH and supplied by Richard A. YEAGER, Bothell, WA.
The birth record of Nicholas Yeager is in the church in
Oberzell, a tiny community near Weichersbach, Germany.
This record indicates that Nicholas was born in
Oberzell, christened in Oberzell and that his father,
Hans Jager, lived in Oberzell. The German spelling of
his name as written on his birth record, is Nicholas
Jager, and the date of his birth 28 May 1676. The
complete social upheavel occasioned by the Thirty Years
War (1618-1648) may have had its effects upon record
keeping. Nicholas was naturalized 13 July 1722 during
the governorship of Alexander Spottswood. The Orange
County, Virginia records show that he had to take out
naturalization papers the second time 2 May 1727.
Nicholas, like others in the 1717 group, was sued by the
Governor for his transportation money in 1724. He
endured the hardships of Germanna until the small colony
left this first home and settled on the Robinson River,
in what is now Madison County, Va. Nicholas Yeager made
his first patent of land in the new place of settlement
on 24 June 1726 (Patent Book 12 page 483 Land Office
Richmond, Virginia). This patent reads as follows: "Unto
Nicholas Yager of Saint George Parish, in Spotsylvania
County, one certain tract or parcell of land containing
four hundred acres, lying and being in the Parish and
county aforesaid and in the first forks of the Rapidan
River". Although he had other land exchanges and
acquired others he lived on this original tract of land
until his death. (Verne RESER)
