Notes on John Mack McCasland
John and his brother, fleeing Scotland under the persecution set up by the Catholic Restoration, went to Holland, but shortly went as "Batchelor Brethren" to America prior to the American Revolution. John's brother was killed in battle but John surived and later moved with his family to Goodletsville, Tennessee where he settled and reared a family of 17 children. The gravestones of the family are still standing on the original plot established shortly after the American Revolution.

Letter dated 29 Apr 1936 from the Government - repling to a request for John's pension records:

John McCasland (as he signed his name) was born June 1, 1750, in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania; the names of his parents are not shown. His brother, William McCasland, resided in 1778, in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.

John McCasland, while a resident of Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, enlisted some time in August 1776, and served three months as ensign in Capain Thomas Campbell's company, Colornel Brown's Pennsylvania regiment. He enlisted January 23, 1778 and served two months as sergant in Captian Joseph Gulbertson's company, Colonel Samuel Culbertson's Pennsylvania regiment, during which he was engaged near Philadelphia with some Hessins, captured some of their number and carried them to General Washington at Valley Forge. John McCasland enlisted in May 1778, and served two months as private in Captian Patrick Jack's company, Colonel Arthur Buchanan's Pennsylvania regiment, which service was rendered as substitute for his brother, William McCasland of Cumberland County. In April 1780, John McCasland moved from Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, to the "neighborhood of the falls of the Ohio", reaching there April 16. He volunterred there and served six weeks in Captian McClure's company under General Clarke against the Shawnee Indians and was in an engagement at Chillico there. He served another tour against the Indians in 1782 as private in Captian Van Jacob Van Meter's compay, near the mouth of the Licking River, destroyed the Indian towns and took many prisoners, this tour not less than six weeks.

The soldier served also in 1791, as private in Captian Gray's company, Colonel Oldham's regiment in the campaign against the Indians and was in St. Clair's Defeat.

John McCasland moved in 1801 from Kentucky to Davidson County, Tennessee.

He was allowed pension on his application executed August 3, 1832, at which time he resided in Davidson County, Tennessee.

At the time John McCasland made his application for pension, he had children who were more than fifty years of age, and great-grand-children "large enough to go to mill"; the names of said children and great-grandchildren were not stated, nor the name of his wife, nor date and place of their marriage given.
