AMHERST CO, VA Calendar of Tenn. & King's Mountain Papers, Vol. !!!, 1929 (Publication of State Historical society of Wisconsin -- DRAPER MANUSCRIPTS) 2DD431-438 Page 300 Pension statement: Entered service in company of Capt.

Howe on his Florida expedition; secured captaincy from Gov. Howley of Georgia; joined Col. Andrew Pickens in attack on Tories at Kettle Creek; with Col. Henry Lee at siege of Augusta. Under command of Col. Clarke in expedition to Holston. (I have note here "copy 8 pages" but apparently I didn't copy those pages as they are not in my notebook. PPaulkovich) What I do have is about4 pages copied from another source. I will later extract from that and/or send copy of 4 pages snail mail to anyone very interested. I believe the other source was extracted from another RevWar application and I am a little puzzled about it; perhaps someone can help untangle. This indicates he went to Missouri.
