My ancestor, Samuel Ellis, was wounded at the Battle of the Cowpens, according to Bobby Moss's book, "The Patriots at the Cowpens." His pension application number, S30400, is referenced in the book. Where do I write or call to obtain a copy of his application? Also, another listed patriot, John Scott of the Virginia Line, is referenced as having assisted Samuel Ellis from the battlefield. Apparently his listing is based upon the pension application filed by Ellis, who enlisted in the NC militia from Rowan County, but may have been assigned with the Virginia troops during the battle. No other info is given about John Scott. Does anyone have any other sources that could be checked to gain more info about him? And, could I be so lucky as to hear from a descendant of John Scott? Wishful thinking, I'm sure, but you never know! Any help is appreciated..... Mack Smith SmokyMtn43@aol.com
