ISAIAH MCBRIDE, a resident of Guilford County, NC, was aged 80 years in 1832:
	“Personally appeared, JONATHAN FINDLEY…That in April 1780, he was sent 
by Captain FORBIS in company with ISAIAH MCBRIDE, lately deceased, down to 
Orange for arms and ammunition. That they took them to Martinsville according 
to orders, that on their return home, in May 1780, they volunteered again, 
under Captain MCADOW, and joined the troops under Colonel DAVIDSON, marched to 
Salisbury.”
“That he was sent into the Forks of the Yadkin after Tories, and that said 
MCBRIDE was marched to the south, and he always understood and never heard it 
contradicted, that said MCBRIDE continued in the service until some time in the 
fall of 1780, and must have been out on this tour 6 months.”
“That in the fall of 1777, he served with him for a month and in a tour after 
the Tories down about the town of Fayetteville and believes that said MCBRIDE 
did service not less than ___. He knows MCBRIDE was out many other trips after 
the Tories, down into Randolph, up on the Yadkin, etc…”
	“Personally appeared Captain WILLIAM ALBRIGHT…That he served with 
ISAIAH MCBRIDE in the Revolutionary War many tours after the Tories, and that 
in particular, recollects falling in with him in the summer of 1780 at 
Salisbury, Rowan County, and marching thence with him to headquarters at New 
Providence in the County of Mecklenburg a few miles beyond Charlotte, and that 
he continued to serve with him after meeting him at Salisbury for at least 
three months. That he was with him down into the County of Randolph among the 
Caraway Mountains and over down towards the town of Fayetteville as it is now 
called, then Cross Creek…”
	“Personally appeared, JOHN MCBRIDE…That in the winter of 1781, he did 
service with ISAIAH MCBRIDE who died a few months ago. That they served 
together in a company commanded by Captain FORBIS and Colonel PAISLEY. That 
they joined GREENE on his march to the north in Guilford County, and marched 
with him towards Halifax in Virginia, but that they were marched home from 
GREENE’s army to stop the ravages of the Tories in their own neighborhood. That 
in this service he served with said MCBRIDE not less than a month and that he 
knows of his being out after the Tories when he was not along…”
	“I, JOSEPH MCLEAN hereby certify that I believe ISAIAH MCBRIDE, Senior, 
who died a few months since, was with me in my tour to the southwestern part of 
the state under Captain FORBIS, Colonel PAISLEY and General DAVIDSON in the 
summer of 1780 on a three month tour…”
