Wednesday, December 31, 1884 Page Two Obituary Crittenden’s Milt, Ala., Dec. 7th, 1884 Ambrose Edwards was born in Wilkes County, Georgia April 16th, 1805 and died in Dale County, Alabama, October the 6th, 1884 in triumph of the Christian faith. He was happily married to Emeline J. Gaulding October the 4th 1827 in Bibb County, Georgia. In 1829 he moved to Talbot County, Georgia and in 1839 he settled in Russell County, Alabama where he joined the Methodist Episcopal Church and was happily converted to God in which faith and communion he lived a consistent and devoted member to the day of his death. He was the father of eleven children five of whom have preceded him to the better land, and the other six (all sons) are trying to follow in the footsteps of their father; one a minister of the gospel; four are superintendents of Sabbath schools and the other a church secretary. No wife ever had a more devoted husband, no children a more affectionate father. His greatest ambition in life was to do good and to see his children good and honorable. Of the seven boys he raised to be men not a dram drinker nor a profane swearer in the number. He was for many years a practical steward of the church, till the mantel fell upon his oldest son. He was a man of great will power but was always conservative in his intercourse with his fellow man. Few men were ever more instrumental in settling difficulties between brethren and neighbors than he. While he was deprived of an early education his practical good sense always gave him first rank in the county where he lived. The last thirty years of his life was spent in Dale County. The writer was with him day and night the greater portion of his last sickness and such patience he hardly ever witnessed. The only thing that seemed to trouble his mind was leaving his aged and devoted companion who had shared his joys and sorrows through a married life of fifty-seven years. What a happy reunion it will be when the companion who still lingers on the shores of time only waiting for the summons and the children all meet if faithful around the throne of God.

Madison County AlArchives Military Records.....Gurley, Jeremiah October 30, 1832 Revwar - Pension ************************************************ Copyright. All rights reserved. http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/copyright.htm http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/al/alfiles.htm ************************************************ File contributed for use in USGenWeb Archives by: Nancy Poquette [email protected] June 29, 2006, 8:31 pm Pension Application Of Jeremiah Gurley, Nat’l Archives Series M804, Roll 1174, Application #S13231 Madison County, AL, October 30, 1832, Jeremiah Gurley, aged 73 years: “That the original manuscript entry made by John Gurley, affiant’s father, of the births of his children, is shown to the court and herewith sent. Affiant was born on the 29th December, 1759; and by family tradition, his birth occurred in Johnston County, NC. About February 1781 there was a draft in that county to reinforce the American army in North Carolina, which it was expected would shortly engage the British in a battle. Affiant’s brother being drafted for 3 months, he determined to go with him, and enlisted as a substitute for one whose name is forgotten, and with his brother, William, was put under Captain Hardy Bryan and marched to join Major General Greene, then stated to be in Guilford County.” “They united with General Butler on Haw River, who conducted them to Green’s army. General Greene put most of the militia under regular officers; and affiant and his company were placed under Colonel Eaton. General Greene moved with his forces toward the waste fields near Guilford Courthouse and entered them from the east on the morning of 15th March. Earl Cornwallis’ army at the same time appeared on the western part of the space and opened a cannonade. Affiant and his company were near the center of Greene’s line, which opened at the center, and the artillery passed through. Formed in front and returned the cannonade. The action then became general and lasted several hours. Affiant’s brother was killed at his side, but he, himself was not wounded.” “General Green, at the close of the battle, retired to Troublesome Ironworks where his army reached about nightfall, and the next day or shortly after, advanced to Ramsey’s Mills where it was expected to engage a detachment of the enemy; but on getting there, they had retired precipitately, leaving their fires burning and some of their baggage and provisions; having thrown a hasty bridge over a shallow of Deep River by rails and logs. General Greene selected his best troops and moved toward Camden to attack Lord Rawdon.” “Captain Bryan had left the army to act as a member of the colonial legislature, leaving his brother, Asa, the lieutenant to succeed him, with whom this affiant went in this expedition after Rawdon. Greene encamped about 3 miles from Camden; the next day ordered most of the militia with him to countermarch as if retreating but to return the next day. He, on their return, proceeded rapidly with the van toward the town, but was met by the enemy and thrown into apparent and en__real disorder. But the militia and artillery coming up to his assistance, the enemy were checked and engaged for some ?time, when he left the field in order, leaving the enemy too much injured to pursue. In this affair, affiant was under Col. Read.” “Affiant becoming too ill to proceed in said service was ordered to a hospital but upon reaching the hospital, he declined entering it, but found a hospitable reception with a family on Lynch’s Creek. The rest of his company were shortly after discharged, and coming where the affiant was, the Captain gave him the discharge of the 13th day of May, 1781, which is herewith sent. Affiant returned with them to Johnston County and immediately volunteered in his brother Lewis Gurley’s company of light Horse, raised to defend the county from the Tories. It was raised for 3 months but found little else to do but move from point to point and arrest the stragglers of that worst of all enemies; and were dismissed before that term expired. Samuel S????h the colonel of the county, gave affiant a discharge from this service which is also annexed.” “Presently after, affiant served under Col. Benjamin ?Exum in an expedition of the militia raised to attack the British in their passage at Spring Bank, but they passed farther below. Affiant, being best satisfied by being on the field, offered himself and horse as a substitute for anyone who should wish to leave it, and took the place of one whose name he cared not to remember, in a troop of horse and finished his term, about 15 or 20 days.” “18-months men were then called for by Congress to be raised by volunteering or by draft. Classes were formed and numbered. Affiant took a number and got the men required to fill it, and when that number was called they stepped forth. Col. Robert Rayford , a regular officer, was present, and having heard of affiant’s services, urged him to be of his mess, stating that he would put him on extra duties and in general exempt him from the ordinary drafts and fatigues. He consented; was allowed to ride his own horse, and appear in a garb suitable for the colonel’s mess and staff. He proceeded with him to Charleston, and until the close of the Revolution, acted immediately or mediately under his orders. Affiant’s whole service exceeded 6 months and was near 12 of active continued duty.” “Affiant, in order to avail of the corroborating memory of James Cotton of this county, will mention two incidents which are also remembered by him. On their march from Troublesome Ironworks to Ramsey’s Mills, affiant remembered to have seen a man hanging to a tree with a paper on his breast. Affiant went to him, turned his head and read the inscription which mentioned his desertion to the Tories as the cause of the example made of him. The other circumstance occurred at Ramsey’s Mills. The troops were marched out upon an alarm and formed around a tree where two men were hung; the two thus hung, affiant understood, were Tories and had come to the Whig camp, pretending themselves to be Whigs and giving a false alarm about the enemy’s approach.” “Shortly after the Revolution, the affiant removed into Georgetown District of South Carolina, remained there about 10 years, removed back into Johnson County, NC where he remained with his family about 10 years, then removed into Maury County, TN, where he resided until 1817, when he came with his family into Madison County, AL, where he since and still does reside.” Additional Comments: His family’s birth records torn from the Bible pages, are included among the photocopies on the microfilm.

That the regiment to which he belonged was called the 3rd regiment of the North Carolina militia and that the regiment was commanded by Col. Robin or Robert Mebane (or Mabin) and that the captain of his particular company was Redding Blount, and that the first lieutenant was Thomas Allen and that the commanding general was General Hogan, and the commander–in-chief of the North Carolina troops was General Lincoln.” “The manner in which the word draft is used above is this: He states that there was law passed in North Carolina, as he was informed, providing that every tenth man should enter the service, and that he, in consequence thereof, entered the service. That he was marched from North Carolina to the siege of Charleston, in South Carolina. That he was engaged, while at Charleston, in several skirmishes while out on foraging parties, and that he was engaged, at Charleston, in taking a redoubt which was soon afterwards abandoned.” “That he was taken a prisoner at Charleston by the British troops on the 12th day of May in the year 1780. That he was pressed on board a British man-of war; that he refused to work on board of said ship; that he was carried to the island of Jamaica and imprisoned in the Bath Prison on said island. (That there were 4 others pressed at the same time who also refused to work, and were imprisoned at the same place, all of whom died.) That he remained in prison until peace was made, when he was liberated.” “That he was in Kingston when he was liberated, and from thence he went to a port on the north end of the island called Port ?Mira or ?Mera or some such name. That there he found a vessel bearing the American flag. It proved to be a brig from Middleton, Connecticut, commanded by one Joseph Smith of Middleton. That he made his situation known to Captain Smith who kindly took him on board his vessel, clothed him and conveyed him to Middleton in Connecticut and from thence he returned to [Guilford County is crossed out, replaced by] Virginia. That he entered the service the 1st of July, 1779, and remained in the service, and as a prisoner of war until peace was made.” “He says he has no documentary evidence of the facts as above detailed. That when he was discharged from prison in Jamaica, a paper containing his discharge was given to him, which he has lost, and that he knows of no person living by whom he can establish the above facts.” “General Hogan brought with him from the north, 10 regiments to South Carolina, which were called the 1st and 2nd regiments, and when the regiment to which he belonged joined General Hogan, it was called the 3rd regiment.” He says he was born in the state of Virginia, and as he was informed, Frederic County in the year 1662 [he probably meant 1762-the error was the clerk’ not his.] That he has no record of his age, but that his mother kept a record of his age, which was recorded in a Prayer Book, and since her death, has been in the possession of a younger brother who resided in the state of Missouri.” “After landing at Middleton, Connecticut, he proceeded for North Carolina. He got into Pennsylvania, when, for the want of funds to take him home, he stopped and worked for several months. From thence he returned to his native county in Virginia, where he remained about 3 years, from thence he removed to Green County, NC, which said county is now a portion of Tennessee and stayed about ten months, and left in consequence of the hostility of the Indians, and then returned to Guilford County, NC where he remained for 11 years. From thence he removed to Granger County, TN, where he remained for 16 years, and from thence he removed to Alabama and that portion of the state where he resides has been since named Walker County [was once called Jefferson County] where he has resided for more than 15 years.” File at: http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/al/walker/military/revwar/pensions/gibson235gmt.txt This file has been created by a form at http://www.genrecords.org/alfiles/ File size: 4.8 Kb
