Orator then lived in Shenandoah and was engaged in military service in Revolution and did not remove to Greenbrier until after the war. In 1780 the Commissioners met at the Savannah, where Lewisburgh stands, and in orator's absence Samuel Gwynn got a certificate in right of settlement. In 1782, at another session of Commissioners, they~refused orator a certificate, but gave him a certificate for 400 acres adjoining, but Simon Akers entered the 400 acres for himself on ground that the Commissioners had no authority to grant the 400.
