The following is from the Pension application of John Paisley/Pastley, nephew of Lt. Col. John Paisley, second-in-command of the Guilford Militia: "[John Paisley] states that in the month following, for service [he] left of Guilford County, North Carolina, for three months under Captain George Stuart, Lieutenants George Nicks [sp?], 1st Lieutenant, and George Denny, 2nd Lieutenant, and was marched near Fayetteville to what was called the Raft Swamp against a [band] of Tories which were infesting that section of country. He remained at that place some time until they were marched in pursuit of Colonel Fanning, a Tory commander, whose company was dispersed, and returned home, after having served a total of three months. He states he was [actively recalled that January] shortly after his return home to Guilford County, North Carolina, under Captain Forbes and General Greene to go against Lord Cornwallis whose army at that time was in Guilford County, North Carolina. He was then marched to Guilford Courthouse where the American Army fought a battle with the British. The Americans were commanded by General Greene in which we were defeated. He again rendezvoused at [Wilcoxen's] Ironworks on Troublesome Creek [on] the fork of the Haw River where he was discharged after having served a tour of six weeks. He states that his said Captain Forbes was wounded in said battle, who afterward died of his wound, but previous to his death, he received his [gospel] from him. He states that he was in allied [service] during the Revolutionary War seventeen months and one week, exclusive of the time he was on furlow, which was six months, which in all would make twenty-three months and one week." The Battle of Guilford Courthouse took place in March, 1781, and this Arthur Forbis, by all accounts died then. The following is taken from Rev. S. M. Rankin, History of Buffalo Presbyterian Church and Her People, pp. 37-38: "Arthur Forbis secured a grant from Earl Granville for 640 acres on Hunting Creek in 1764, and that same year he married Mrs. Lydia Rankin, widow of George. Their children were Jennet, Elizabeth, Anne and Lydia. Jennet married Hance McCain in 1787 and they reared a family of ten children. Lydia married George Donnell, son of Robert, 2nd, and they reared a family of five children. Arthur Forbis was a ruling elder. He died in 1789, and his stepsons, John and robert Rankin, were executors of his will." So, we have Capt. Arthur Forbis of Alamance congregation, and Elder Arthur Forbis of Buffalo congregation. My guess is that the Elder Arthur was the father of the Capt. Arthur. I have found several cross-overs between Buffalo and Alamance, including my own ancestor, William Paisley, Sr., elder of Alamance, who married Margaret Denny, sister of the Denny brothers that founded Buffalo with the Nottingham Company. These churches shared ministers over the years, but Buffalo was "Old Style", while Alamance was "New Light", that is, evangelical.
