Found this while going through my MacCORKLE file: Parts From a Letter from William A. Anderson, Charlestown WV 28 NOV 1903: ...A man ..who I think was named LEMON came to him & asked him to certify to the fact that he (LEMON) had served with the Botetourt Company in that fight, so that he might obtain a pension. My grandfather could not recall him, but LEMON told him he could mention certain incidents that would satisfy him that he (LEMON) was with the army of General Green and was at the battle of Cowpens and at Guilford. One of the incidents LEMON mentioned to him was at the battle of Cowpens. General Morgan commanded his troops not to fire until he gave the order, and then to aim at the knee buckles, which were conspicouos upon the knees of the British soldiers. A young man in the Botetourt Company, before General Morgan gave the order to fire, had leveled his rifle and was taking aim at the British who were then in point blank range. General Morgan cursed this young soldier, asking him "What in hell!" he meant by violating his orders; and the young soldier, with tears running down his checks, said "General, I'm not going to fire; I'm just takng good aim." This man LEMON told my grandfather that he (LEMON) was this young soldier. My grandfather remembered the incident distinctly and perhaps, then recalled that the man's name was LEMON. Mr LEMON, afterwards told my grandfather that he (LEMON) was present at the funeral of Lieut. MacCorkle. ( my other ancestor). Anyone know who this LEMON might be?
