“He was in the Battle of Stono [per Heitman, June 20, 1779], commanded by 
General Greene [Greene did not command at Battle of Stono, it was General 
Lincoln at that time, I think] and at the Battle of the Eutaw Springs [per 
Heitman, September 15, 1781]. When he first enlisted he was marched to 
Charlestown, SC. He was marched to the battle before stated. He served three 
years under this term of enlistment…In my tour of service I was not employed in 
any civil pursuit whatever, but was really in active service and scouting after 
the Tories, Indians and British or stationed in bodies in the different points 
and places as stated.”
