an officer in the Revolutionary War, serving from 1777 until 1781.&nbsp; In that era, service was primarily as needed rather than a full-time job. Thus, he most likely was called into service when the need arose and then returned to his normal life as a blacksmith when relieved of his duties.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">John McGinley was a member of multiple companies in the Philadelphia Militia Artillery.&nbsp; He served as a Lieutenant. and Lieutenant Captain&nbsp; in John Eyre&#8217;s artillery battalion under Captain Samuel Massey (First Company).&nbsp; April 25, 1779, he moved to the role of Captain of the same company, succeeding Captain Massey.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">John McGinley&#8217;s role in the military was one of utilizing his blacksmith capabilities.&nbsp; He and his men made gun carriages, a chevaux-de-frise (device with spikes to slow the enemy),&nbsp; and performed iron work in the building of the fort on Mud Island (Ft. Mifflin).&nbsp; During the building of the fort, Captain McGinley was a superintendent of the blacksmiths and supervised the ironsmiths under the supervision of Colonel Bull.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Later, John McGinley filled the role of Captain Lieutenant of the James Pearson&#8217;s company (5th Company) of the&nbsp; artillery battalion of Philadelphia Militia commanded by Lt. Col. Joseph Marsh.&nbsp; Likewise, he was the Captain Lieutenant of the Fourth Company of Lieutenant Colonel Joseph Mark&#8217;s artillery battalion.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/itsallinthesynapse.net\/Family_History\/mcginleymilitary\/\">See a detailed log of John McGinley&#8217;s Revolutionary War Service<\/a><\/span><\/strong>.

It appears that the men were being paid what was referred to as the Philadelphia wage, which was applied to all tradesman work in the militia.&nbsp; However, John McGinley contended that the going rate for their services in Philadelphia&nbsp; was much higher.&nbsp; At one point, he paid the men directly from his own funds at \u00a38 per day.&nbsp; He attempted to get reimbursed, however, he was limited to the rate of \u00a31 per day.&nbsp; Thus, John McGinley lost a considerable amount of his own money.\u00b9<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/itsallinthesynapse.net\/Family_History\/mcginleyaug191779\/\">Read this communication and others regarding pay for his men. <\/a><\/strong><\/span>(Password Required)<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">When relieved of their duties on Mud Island, Capt. McGinley&#8217;s Company marched to the State House in a show of support to the Supreme Executive Council of Pennsylvania regarding creating regulations on the pricing, sale, and transport of goods. After assuring the Supreme Executive Council of their support, they proceeded to the college where the committee on this topic was meeting.
