Archibald McHone, reportedly born about 1745 in New Kent County, Virginia, is identified in family histories as a Revolutionary War veteran who served as a private in the Virginia militia. His reported wife was Magdelina Bridgeman, and the family is associated with southwestern Virginia. A specific Revolutionary War pension application, R6733, is indexed under his name. This provides a promising documentary trail for establishing his actual service. The date of his death, January 6, 1842, remains to be verified against original records, especially because another Archibald McHone appears in an August 1842 death account.
