Revolutionary soldier SOLOMON BURRIS (W3936) was a native of Anson County, 
North Carolina. He enlisted from Anson County and served two stints for a 
total of 18  months as a private in the North and South Carolina troops in  
Captain Armstrong's Company under the commands of Cols. Davidson and Sumpter. 
He was engaged in the Battle of Stone Gap, S.C. He became ill and spent a 
month in a hospital in Charleston, S.C. BURRIS applied for pension on June 7, 
1832 from Montgomery County, at 80 years of age.  He stated he was born in
