As per the Sons of the American Revolution, Jeremiah Lumsden (1753-1837) served as a private in the Revolutionary War.
Jeremiah immigrated to Georgia from Rocky Mount, Virginia circa 1788 with his family & the families of several of his siblings. He served in the Virginia Militia during the Revolutionary War alongside his father (John) and two of his brothers.
It is likely that he served in the Georgia Militia following the Revolution as indicated on his Veterans Administration marker.
Ordained before leaving Virginia he served the area around Kelly, GA as a circuit riding Methodist minister.
In 2008, the Sons of the American Revolution (SAR) held a grave marking ceremony & formally marked him as a confirmed American Revolution ancestor.
