John Storm (February 3, 1760[1] – December 13, 1835[1]) was a soldier in the American Revolutionary War, notably serving as a dragoon under Colonel William Washington.[1] Dragoons commanded huge power upon the battlefield at the time because of their ability to incite fear in opposing infantrymen. "The shock of a cavalry charge often proved decisive in gaining a victory," is a description offered by the United States National Park Service.[2]
John Storm was born in Latimore Township, Pennsylvania, and died in Greene County, Indiana.[1] He served under Captains Ballard Smith and Thomas Boyer in the 1st Virginia Regiment, beginning in 1780.[1] Later in 1781, John Storm served under Captain Robert Morrows in Colonel William Washington's regiment of Continental dragoons.[1]
