That he entered into the Service of the United States by draft on a tour of 3 months duty under the command of Captain Lipham from the County of Orange and State aforesaid where he then lived….

...I was again drafted from the same County, where I continued to reside, on a Tour of duty of 3 months Service, and entered upon duty under the command of Captain John McFarland but I am unable to recollect the names of the other company officers, but when [we] arrived at Hillsboro the Place of Rendezvous the whole detachment was placed under the Command of General Butler Colonel Mebane was also in command...

...when we learned that a party of Tories had passed into Hillsboro and had taken a number of Prisoners that were confined there; we turned our course so as to intercept their retreat and fell in with them at Lindley's Mill -- where we had an engagement. [Note: Historical Records states engagement occurred on September 13, 1781.]

 


Send a biographical sketch of your patriot!

Patriot biographies must be the original work of the author, and work submitted must not belong to another person or group, in observance with copyright law. Patriot biographies are to be written in complete sentences, follow the established rules of grammar, syntax and punctuation, be free of typographical errors, and follow a narrative format. The narrative should unfold in a logical manner (e.g. the narrative does not jump from time period to time period) or have repeated digressions, or tell the history of the patriot's line from the patriot ancestor to the author. The thinking here is that this is a patriot biography, not a lineage report or a kinship determination project or other report published in a genealogy journal. The biography should discuss the qualifying service (military, patriotic, civil) of the patriot ancestor, where the service was rendered, whether this was a specific state or Continental service, as well as significant events (as determined by the author) of the patriot's life. This is the entire purpose of a patriot's biography.
