								2nd October 
[1779]
“Received a Letter from Colonel John Paisley on Military Affairs. Filed No. 18.”

From The State Records of North Carolina, Vol. 14, page 790:

	Col. John Peasley to Gen. Jethro Sumner [possibly dated Oct. 2, 1779]
	“Last Saturday about 10 o’clock we were within almost one and a half 
miles of Shallow Ford [on the Yadkin River, well above Salisbury. See the map 
labeled Race to the Dan River] when we heard a foray. We advanced up with all 
possible speed, thinking our light infantry was engaged, and discovered that 
the Virginians and some of the Surry troops had attacked 300 Tories under Col. 
Wright. Our loss was only Capt. Francis killed and four wounded. Fourteen of 
the enemy were found dead on the ground, among which were Captains Bryan and 
Burke. Capt. Lakey was mortally wounded, and is now in our hands, with three 
more wounded prisoners which were all we took.”
