William Hedrick, of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, was a fife player during the Revolutionary War. He served under George Washington. After being discharged, William moved to Greene County, Tennessee, and later, to Blount County, Tennessee, where he settled permanently. Southern Muse has transcribed William Hedrick's Revolutionary War pension document and presents the transcript for the convenience of other researchers ~ just follow the link below. Also presented is an 1884 Pony Homestead Document of a descendant, Jacob Headrick.
William Hedrick's ancestors have been traced back to 17th-century Germany, according to research that others have shared with Southern Muse. Some sources are available on this, and will be shared willingly.
Headrick descendants of William Hedrick still live in Tennessee and North Georgia. My research centers on two Headrick families of Murray County, Georgia ~ both of which descend from William the Fifer. They are William Mathew Headrick (often listed as William H. Headrick); and John Scott Headrick. In addition to Headricks, copious Dunns appear in my files, due to that natural magnetic attraction between Headricks and Dunns down through the generations.
