http://www.tcarden.com/tree/ensor/Coxwill.html Prayer by John Miller "Good Lord, our God that art in heaven, we have great reason to thank thee for the many favors we have received at thy hands, the many battles we have won. "There is the great and glorious battle of King's Mountain, where we kilt the great Gineral Ferguson and took his whole army. And the great battles of Ramsours's and at Williamson's. And the ever-memorable and glorious battle of Coopens, where we made the proud Gineral Tarleton run doon the road helter-skelter, and, Good Lord, if ye had na suffered the cruel Tories to burn Billy Hill's Iron Works, we would na have asked any mair favors at thy hands. Amen." John Miller names the battles of Ramsours's and at Williamson's and also the burning of Billy Hill's Iron Works. Anyone think the John Miller who wrote the above was at the Battles of Ramsour's, Williamson's and Cowpens? More on the Iron Works; http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/ar/washington/bios/h.txt Daniel Harvey Hill, lieutenant-general in the Confederate States army, and president of the Arkansas Industrial University, was born July 12, 1821, at Hill's Iron Works, in York District, S. C. His father was Solomon Hill, a slaveholder, planter and Presbyterian elder; his mother was, before her marriage, Nancy Cabeen, the daughter of Sumpter's scout, Thomas Cabeen, whom Sumpter declared to be "the bravest man in my command." The Cabeens were from Scotland, and were strict Presbyterians and men of wealth and influence. Col. William Hill, the grandfather of General Hill, was an Irishman; he rose to the rank of colonel in the Revolutionary army, was badly wounded at Hanging Rock, and was at home recovering from it when the battle of King's Mountain was fought. The battle-field was only a short distance from his iron works, which was the only furnace in that section of the country, and he made it so useful in manufacturing guns and other munitions of war that it was the daily prayer of his devout compatriots, "O Lord, protect us from the enemy and save Billy Hill's Iron Works." (Snipped) Then the question is how many Watauga and Wilkes County pioneers had ties to York District, SC? Was the John Miller above from York Dist., SC? Did he live on Mulberry Creek North of Wilkesboro? Who else had land on Mulberry Creek? Where was Mulberry Creek enumerated on the 1790 NC Census? Isn't that where Charles Hickerson lived and was he in the Second Company" Was this John Miller related to James Enoch Mylar who came from York and married Rachael Wilcoxson, great grandaughter of Squire Boone?

To begin with you have to look at the Watauga prior to 1780. It consisted of what is now the "toe" of North Carolina and part of Tennessee (See State of Franklin). Many of the people who moved to this area were from York, Chester and Union Cos. S. C. (Fishing Creek in the case of my family). And, no, I have no connection to the people you have mentioned, but the McDowell's (Quaker Meadows, the McDowell plantation where the militia who fought at Kings Mountain met), McNabbs, Grays, Lusks, Tiptons, Whitsons, etc. all fought at King's Mountain and Cowpens. And, yes there were two John Millers who fought at KM: John and John H. John was a blacksmith but had his own shop. If you will notice... the men who fought at King's came from the western part of N. C., S. C, and eastern Tenn. How do you think they knew each other well enough to go to war with them????? They were related. Or, they were in the case of my families. The above six names of my relatives were all inter-married for about four generations starting in Frederick Co., Va. and probably Maryland prior to that. They were all Scots-Irish Presbyterians; whose ancestors fought the Vikings for 400 years and the British for another 400. Don't know how much of this answers your question but thought it might help.

I answered two requests for Look Ups and one should be shared with all so I am also sending it on line Elaine From: "Sheryl Brown" <[email protected]> To: "Elaine Steere" <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, August 06, 2005 10:20 AM Subject: Re: [NCWATAUG] List for OVERMOUNTAIN MEN? I would be very interested to know if my ancestor Robert Young was listed in the book--and also any mention of Caruthers or Mallonee. I appreciate your time and all your wonderful information. Sheryl Sheryl, There is a Lt. Andrew CARUTHERS and a James CARUTHERS. No MALLONEE. Several YOUNGs Robert,Samuel, Thomas, William,James and possibly an Isham.All from Alderman's book. From Draper: page 275 "One of Seviers men, named GILLELAND, who had received several wounds and was well-nigh exhausted, seeing the advance of Ferguson and his party, attempted to arrest the career of the great leader (Ferguson) but his gun snapped; when he called out to ROBERT YOUNG of the same regiment "There's Ferguson -Shoot him !" "I'll try and see what Sweet Lips can do," muttered YOUNG, as he drew a sharp sight, discharging his rifle, when Ferguson fell from his horse and his associated were either killed or driven back. Several rifle bullets had taken effect on Ferguson apparantly about the same time, and a number claimed the honor of having shot the fallen chief-among them one KUSICK,another of Sevier's sharp shooters. Certain it is that Ferguson received six or eight wounds, one of them through the head. He was unconscious when he fell and did not long survive." I know that "Sweet Lips" was immortalized by LuLu Belle and Scotty Wiseman in the 40's It starts "Sweet Lips was a rifle, named for a girl in Tennessee...." Lt. CARUTHERS page 424 Talking of Sevier's regiment at King's Mtn, he names the Capts and then says " George RUSSELL, Joel CALLAHAN, Isaac LANE, Andrew CARUTHERS and William ROBINSON were probably all Lieutenants. CARUTHERS, a native of Ireland, died in Lincoln County, Tenn in 1818." Only thing close to MALLONEE, was a Michael MAHONEY was killed. Elaine >

I confess that I didn't realize that it took seven years of war AFTER our Declaration Of Independence to become a free Nation of United States. Things were not going well in 1780. Cornwallis was winning in the South and Washington was exhausted. It looked like we might be brought back into line under British Rule. Not everyone wanted to be rid of the King, those were the Loyalists. However, in Western North Carolinas (including what became Eastern TN), Western Virginia (Plus what became KY and W.Va.) and some from SC and GA were independent men from the Mountains who didn't need a King.They had come mainly from Scotland, Ireland,and Germany . They weren't a regular army, they were Militia. They furnished their own rifle, horse, and food.They wore no uniforms. They were all volunteers. Mainly they had been fighting Indians to protect their families, but when Col. Patrick Ferguson sent word that they had better surrender or he would come and kill them (my paraphrase), they organized. Campbell got 400 men out of VA, Selby 350 , Sevier another 350 from the Watauga settlement. They came Over The Mountain to find Ferguson. They followed Bright's Trace and met up at Quaker Meadows (west of Morganton) with Col. Ben Cleveland and others from Burke, They continued to look for Ferguson and they caught him at a point on the boundary between North and South Carolina called Kings Mountain. Thomas Jefferson would call this "The turning point" for the Patriots. These militia men decisively won that battle and gave morale back to Washington and Gates. Kings Mountain was followed in a couple of months with another Militia victory at Cowpens under Col. Daniel Morgan and Cornwallis left the Carolinas and went to Yorktown VA. where Washington would defeat him. In 1796 when Tennessee became a state, the motto was and continues to be "The Volunteer State" Col. John Sevier was the first Governor. A lot is special about Kings Mountain and I never heard about it in school. It is so typical of all thaat is good in America. Men came together fighting for freedom and told their families "we won't come back until we win". That is still our attitude when our liberty is threatened. There are many books but the most definitive is Lyman Drapers "Kings Mountain and It's Heros". He researched it for almost 50 years, mainly by writing letters to descendants of the battle and collecting newspaper articles from that time plus an extensive correspondence with the curator of the Battlefield as they prepared to celebrate the centenniel in 1880. "The Overmountain Men" by Pat Alderman. With that said, we still can't PROVE all the men who were there. It was 1832 ( 52 years later)when men could apply for pensions and many, if not most were dead. Also Militia records did not survive like Cont. Army records did. There is a Capt. TOWNSEND serving with Ferguson. I don't see a HAMLET.or James MAYNARD in either book above. I hope this helps. If you are lucky enough to have an ancestor who did fight there you can be very proud of his contribution .

I believe the Roaring Creek associated with the OverMountain March starts at the top of the Yellow Mtn Gap and flows down into the North Toe River in what is today Avery County. In 1780 it was Burke . The trail was known as Bright's Trace and was used to go from Morganton (the county seat) to the Watauga Settlement between Elizabethton and Johnson City.

I found Shelving Rock to be near to Roan Mountain and I looked Roan Mtn. up on Map Quest. It is located at the intersection of 19 and 143 in SE TN 7 miles from NC Border. The Doe River runs parallel to rte 19. Roaring Creek appears to be West of Crabtree and runs into the Doe, Then comes Georges Creek, a little to the East and it also runs into the Doe. Then Bucks Creek is between Roan Mountain and Evergreen. Was this area old Rowan County in 1780-1790?

I love books. But if you are going to read it on a computer screen, why pay for it? Check out the above link. I didn't take time to Index this book, but it is searchable. The original copy of this book did not have an index. The index that is currently available in the reprints is under copyright, so I was not free to include it online.

Just though I would let you know that The History of Watauga County by John Preston Arthur is now available on CD. It is indexed and searchable. You can view the Table of Contents and Index at dmkheritage.com. Even if you do not want to buy the CD, feel free to use the index and Table of Contents.

Am looking for information on Brice (Bryce) Russell. He lived in Watauga Valley ca. 1790. His wife, Jane Thompson (f-Hugh Thompson) was scalped by indians but survived. Two of their daughters were captured and carried to Detroit, Mi. They escaped and returned home. One of these daughters married into the Birdwell family along with my g-g-g-grandmother. Does anyone have any information on where Brice Russell came from (Scotland, Ireland, or ?). I believe he fought in the Revolutionary War. Thanks Sandra Aikman
