Members of St. John’s fought in the Battle of Moorse’s Creek Bridge and other skirmishes in the Carolinas. Many St. John’s members were wounded, killed in battle or died in British prisons. While the British armies did not conduct operations in the St. John’s community, the Tories plundered, robbed and made life miserable for anyone who supported independence. In order to protect their farms a number of members remained home on Sunday morning during the war. It is said that the throat cancer that ended Pastor Nussmann’s life was the result of a torture burn administered by the Tories.
On October 22, 1782 three church council members; Jacob Ferget, Marx Haus, and Jacob Thieme paid fifty shilling for one hundred acres of government land and entered it “in trust for the congregation of Dutch Buffalo Meeting House.” This tract included the land where the church and cemetery were already located.

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.
