From Vol. VII Of Papers Of Nathanael Greene, Page 403-404:
	“Captain Nathaniel Pendleton to Captain Henry Weitzel, from 
Headquarters, Boyd’s Mill, NC, 6 March 1781. NG directs Weitzel to send ‘the 
two Holts’ to their ‘respective homes’ and ‘keep them clear of the American 
camp. He should have them sign the enclosed papers and send one copy to 
headquarters. ADfS (MiU-C), 1 page.”

From footnote: “The recipient was not identified. The docketing listed him 
as ‘Captain Wetsail,’ but the editors believe he was a local millowner, who has 
been identified in Guilford County land records as Henry Weitzel (Custom House 
Map of Guilford County, NC). Weitzel was called ‘Captain’ in the Moravian 
records, where his name was given as ‘Heinrich Weizel.” (Records of the 
Moravians, 4: 1917.)

Another footnote: “Michael and John Holt, who were probably local Loyalists, 
had been captured by the American Army. The papers that Pendleton enclosed were 
undoubtedly their paroles.”
