1781, he enlisted as a private for one year in Captain MCCRAE’s company of 
infantry in the NC line or Continental establishment. He has no recollection of 
the number of the regiment to which he was attached, but remembers he was 
commanded by Colonel MURPHY. He was immediately marched to Guilford Courthouse 
and partook of the dangers of the Battle at that place, having received a 
severe wound during the engagement; he was also in the engagement at Eutaw 
Springs; He faithfully served his country during the period of his enlistment, 
and at the expiration thereof, at the request of General GREENE, continued in

MOORE (of Colonel MURPHY’s regiment), the successor of Captain GOODWIN (killed 
at Eutaw Springs) who had taken the command of Captain MCCRORY’s company on his 
promotion to the rank of Major. This affiant had a regular discharge, which 
together with his home and all his property, was some years ago, destroyed by
