No details of his service has been found. He died in 1792. There is also John Knowles. He recd. a pension, wounded at Battle of Rockfish Bridge. There are 5 Sellers, 1 Sutton, 8 Taylors, listed in the book. Its called Revolutionary War Records, Duplin & Sampson Co.,NC by Virginia L. Bizzell & Oscar M.Bizzell. I have found it most helpful.

Does anyone know if there are Historical Society books available for Duplin and Sampson counties? Since, I am researching family lines in both counties, I would be interested in purchasing copies of these books. Does anyone have addresses where I can order copies? Thanks, Sherri

Is there anyone on this list who might be working on the BUTLER family which lived in the Cyrpress Creek area of s.e. Duplin Co and over into n.e. New Hanover [then] Co. in the 1780-1870 period? Male members of this clan included Christopher Sr & Jr, Thomas [son of Chris Sr], Elias, [my] Elijah, Frederick, Hezekiah, James, and Jacob. Have lots of land transactions info on these men but can't sort out lineage. Charlie Weaver, Winston-Salem, NC
