Constructed History Of Captain Robert Mebane
From the pension application of  Ludwick Albright, his widow, Elizabeth 
Albright: “And the said Elizabeth Albright further states upon her said oath 
that she has reason to believe, and does believe, that in the summer of the 
year of 1781, there was a draft for militia men to serve a three months tour of 
duty, when her deceased husband, the aforesaid LUDWICK ALBRIGHT was drafted for 
said tour. In this tour, WILLIAM GWINN was Captain, O’NEAL-Major, and JNO. 
BUTLER-Brigadier General. My deceased husband in this tour was under ROBERT 
MEBANE as Colonel, part of the tour, and was in the engagement at Lindley Mills 
[per Heitman, September 13, 1781], in the month of September, of the aforesaid 
year of 1781. That at the expiration of said tour, which was of three months 
duration, my deceased husband was duly discharged by Captain GWINN and returned 
home. This tour is proven by the affiant JOHN STRADER, whose affidavit is 
hereto annexed and marked D.”

From Andrew Martin: “The applicant further states that about two years before 
he enlisted, he was drafted from the County of Guilford where he then resided, 
that of this his memory is very indistinct. He recollects marching to Cross 
Creek and at Campbelltown, down about a mile below, his company commanded by 
Captain ROBERT MABEN, took charge of the prisoners and carried them to 
Hillsborough where they left them and returned home.”
	
From William Ryan: A-“That he marched to the lower end of Randolph County where 
he joined General BUTLER who commanded the troops sent against the Tories at 
the Raft Swamp. Col. ROBERT MEBANE was with General BUTLER. Col. SMITH 
commanded the cavalry which consisted of three companies commanded by Captain 
CHARLES POLK, Captain SIMMONS, and Captain DANIEL GILLESPIE. That he was in the 
battle at Raft Swamp with the Tories.”
