On another Board I found this about Christian Fast posted by a Steve Benton.
"Dear Carolyn, I may be able to shed some light on the identity of Augustine Dillingers purported brother. My ancestor, Christian Fast, was a member of the company that went on Clark's expedition. In his Revolutionary War pension application file there is an affidavit from Frederick Selser. In his affidavit, Frederick states that his uncle was David Dilliener. This David Dilliener is on a list of men who were members of Captain Michael Catt's militia company published in the book, George Roger Clark and his Men by Margery Harding. This company was recruited from the then Monongalia Co., Virginia that is today parts of Greene, Washington, and Fayette Cos.," Pennsylvania."
I have much info on the Frederick Selser mentioned who was also from Shenandoah Va, then moved to Greene Co PA, Dunkard Twp and then in 1814 moved to Richland Co Ohio where he died. Need copy of that affidavit of Fred if anyone has it to prove who his mother was IE Barbara Dellinger, dau of Johan Gorg Dellinger of Va. I downloaded the file of Christian's Rev War record avail on Heritage Quest but did not find this affidavit mentioned. That is not unusual because in Frederick Selcer's Rev War record I was sent 44 pages but on line there is only about half that amount also.
