Lazarus Rine
According to Dorothy Elizabeth Rine Brown's book on the Rine family, it was family tradition that "Lazarus Rine I came to the United States from Hesse-Cassel as one of the Hessian soldiers. He was captured by General George Washington, December 26, 1776 at the Battle of Trenton, NJ. After hearing the American side of the story, he enlisted in the American Army."
Lazarus was given a patent to land lying on Buffalo Creek in present day Ohio County, WV. This land was near the town of West Liverty. On October 3, 1796, he and wife Elizabeth sold the land. He was already living in the Sand Hill District of present day Marshall County, WV.
Lazarus enlisted in 1777 at Pittsburgh, Pa, in Captain James Sullivan's Company of the 13th Virginia Regiment which was commanded by Colonel John Gibson.
