To your question about Capt. Nail:

It appears that the Capt. Nail is the one referred to in John Webb's pension application (S. 32055): "The said Deponent to the best of his recollection in January 1777 he volunteered under Captain Joseph Nail who erected a Fort against the Indians called Nail's Fort near Broad River Wilkes County, Georgia."

This Joseph could have been the son of Julian Nail [or Neal], who lived in Amherst County, Virginia, based on the following online posts:

As for the pension record that mentions George Cockburn, I sent you a link to the post with more information in my last message, but here is the full pension record online:
