Jacob Runkle had established himself in Augusta Couinty, VA by 1757 and was receivving pay for services with the county militia during the French and Indiana War. In 1763 he patented 225 acres in Augusta County, a portion of which was given to Peter Runkle in 1772 to care for his aged mother. Lewis Runkle was granted land through Jacob Runkle's will. The will is among the lost records of Rockingham County, Va, but a law suit in Augusta titled "Ammon vs. Runkle" yields additional facts. Mary Ammon claimed that Peter Runkle had received more than he was entitled to. [Reference: June Runkle Grove, "The Runkle Family and Associated Families", ([S. I.] J. R. Grove, 1999), pg. 379]
