GLYMPH, John Abraham, enlisted in the Continental Army August 15, 1780 at "The Continental Training Depot and General Rendezvous at Chesterfield Courthouse, Virginia, 1780-1781".  He gave his age as 39 and occupation as being a tailor.  He was described as being 5 feet 4 1/2 inches tall, black hair and fair complexioned.  He served 18 months and was paid 37 pounds, 14 shillings and 6 pence.
By early Dec. there were five to six hundred conscripts at the training center.  It was under the command of Major-General Frederick William Van Steuben, a German.  Workmen hastily built rows of log huts to house the scantily clad men.  Many were literally naked and suffered from the intense cold.  Supt. Col. William Davies managed to establish a tailor shop to help alleviate the clothing shortage.   What a place for a tailor!!
His name appears on a list of the Virginia Line on Continental Establishment who received certificates for the balance of their full pay agreeable to an act of Assembly passed in the November session:  1781, Revolutionary War.
