John McCamant 1807-1869. He was in West Virginia from 1830-1854 or so. He was in Illinois until his death. I think this is a West Virginia Rifle. Has the "National Road Patchbox"....

That's a nice late period rifle, but with a 20/40K estimate, I'd say a bit lofty on the expectations.

Can't say I've seen a prettier patchbox, but I've seen some pretty nice percussion swivels sell for
much less than that range.
