Brother Daniel Linder served in American Revolutionary War; is listed as a Sergeant in document 109 (20 March -  8 April 1782).  This document is a Payroll of a Company of Jefferson County [Virginia] Militia commanded by Capt. John Vantreese. This Militia entered into Service on 20 March, 1782 and was discharged on 8 April 1782 with 20 days of service.  In Document 131 (21 October - 25 November, 1782) "A Pay Roll of Jefferson Militia under -- On actual Service in Repeling an Invasion of the Enemy Indians on an Expedition against the Enemy under Genl. George Rogers Clark" Daniel is listed as Ensign, entering service 21 October, 1782 and discharged 25 November, 1782 with 36 days of service. here were two forts on the frontier occupied by British officers and their Indian allies that became a burden to all settlers in the territory westward and along the Ohio River. This little army of George Rogers Clarke's men, in which Daniel Linder served, was composed of those who had endured hardships and were fully acquainted with Indian warfare. The enlistments were made in the dead of Winter, January 1778. In the Winter of 1781, the Congress was petitioned for reinforcements for the forts.  Daniel Linder of Jefferson County, Virginia, later of Kentucky, served as Sergeant under Captain John Vertries' company, of Jefferson County militia in 1782. Col. Williams Battalion, commanded by Major General George Rogers Clark on his expedition against the Shawnees. (Dept. of Archives and History for 1911 special report, State of Virginia, In State Library, published 1912, H.l J. Eckenrode, Archivist. Richmond quote: "The Revolutionary War record, of one Daniel Linder, established House of Delegates, December 1834 session. Reference to Illinois papers, consisting of loose manuscript rolls of militia and regulars in the Illinois Department.Daniel is named as Captain in the Nelson Co. Tithables for 1788. This is sometime after the Revolutionary War, so it is assumed it was with the KY Militia:
"Nelson Co. Minute Book, June 10, 1788 - ordered .....John Vertrese, (take) those of Cap. Linders comp. The foregoing list taken by me this 2nd Day of August, 1788 signed John Vertrees. A list of Tithables contained within the Bounds of Captain Linder's Company."
It is interesting to note that the list of Tithables included Jacob Linder, Daniel Linder and Laurence Linder.

The 1785, 1787-1791 Nelson County., Kentucky Tithables also list Daniel as a Captain in Nelson Co., KY as a militia volunteer, listed primarily for taxing districts. Also, in "The Cornstalk Militia of Kentucky 1792-1811", 3rd Great Grandpa Daniel Linder is listed as an Ensign in the Hardin County 3rd Regiment May 31, 1802. One can kind of picture ol' Great Grandpa Daniel running around in his buckskins and coonskin cap with his long rifle - kind of like the american frontier legends Davy Crockett and Daniel Boone.

Transcript from the Draper Papers (Draper's interview with Ben Helm in 1844) from the calendar of the George Rogers Clark papers of the Draper collection of manuscripts (10J66-69) published by the State Historical Society of Wisconsin, contains testimony of the Indian attack of March 1783 on Helm's Station, Kentucky and Daniel Linder's involvement in which he received wounds fighting the attacking Indians.

In 1790, Daniel Linder was performing inventories and appraisals on the estates of Miles Hart, Junior, whose father was killed by the Indians, and Silas Hart in Nelson County, Kentucky. In 1792, Nelson County, Kentucky Deeds show Daniel buying land from Shepherd and in the years 1794, 1796, 1807, 1808 and 1814 he appears in the Hardin County, KY Will Book as either a witness, appraiser, buyer, etc. The 1810 and 1820 Hardin County, KY censuses show Daniel as continuing to live in Hardin County and, in 1820, he presented evidence to the Hardin County Court to verify Miles Hart's service in the Illinois Regiment under George Rogers Clark (Hardin Co. Court Records) and that Miles Hart was killed in the Indian attack.   Also, in 1820, bond was posted and Daniel Linder gave consent as stepfather for the marriage of Amelia T. Hart and Iredell Hart in Hardin Co., Kentucky.  Per the 1820 KY census, Daniel Linder, as well as Samuel Linder (believed to be Daniel's son) was living in Little York Township in Hardin County.

In 1797,  "Battery" fights occurred between the Linders and the Van Meters with "fists, feet, sticks, clubs, stones and knives" (Jacob Van Meter taken into custody for assault on Isaac Linder - (Jacob says Isaac committed first assault)
Source: Original Sheriff's Warrant
Isaac was the brother of Daniel LInder and it needs to be clarified here that this was Daniel Linder, Jr. and not Daniel Linder, Sr., who was involved with Elizabeth Ferguson according to records.
