From The Papers Of General Nathanael Greene, Vol. 7, Page 417:
“From Colonel Henry Lee, Jr. [Guilford Co, NC] 9 March 1781, 7 pm. Reports that 
the enemy moved ‘across to the Hillsborough road to Guilford Courthouse. He 
expects them to camp at Col. [John] Peasley’s, but they may march farther to 
Ralph Gorrell’s. An enemy party destroyed the stores at Guilford Courthouse. 
Once the British leave Gorrell’s, it will be clear whether they are heading 
toward ‘Cross Creek, the Cheraw Hills, or Salisbury.’ Says he wrote Nathanael 
Greene ‘this evening’. In a postscript, reports that the British burned a 
house.”
