A few days ago an interesting Rev. War pension application was posted regarding the effort to recapture Gov. Burke after Fanning's capture in Hillsboro. Capt. Douglas took his troops back to the home of Wm Stroud on several occassions. I descend from Stroud and therefore have some info on his children. His dau was married to Douglas so Douglas no doubt knew he could count on his father in law for food and shelter for his men. His wife was probably also in her father's home during this trying period. I am delighted to have this additional information regarding William Stroud. The Strouds lived in the area of current University Lake/Phils Creek/Smith Level. Bebe Fox Winston-Salem, N.
