    3. I need some help from anyone who knows something about Rev War battles in NC/SC.....I finally got Rev War pension records on a man I am researching...and records are very difficult to read. Since I am not familiar with the area, need help with names of places. seems he began 1777 in Mecklenburg Co NC, marched to - Cross? Creek - now ?Fayettville, then back home. Is Cross Creek correct? looks like Croft Creek maybe. Then orders to march against the British and Tores. Marched through South Carolina to Savanah River on the borders of Georgia. He was in a Severe Battle at ....Little or Kittle ....Creek with the Tories in which forty nine of the Tories were killed and Thirty eight of the Whigs were also killed. Question - who were the Whigs? Americans? the to Augusta, Georgia. Then ?Briar? Creek in Georgia. Battle against the British in which the British were vistorious, marched back to Augusta. Know what the name of this battle might be? part that cannot read, to a river called Shono/Stone??? at which place he was in that battle called the Battle of Stone? Then to Charleston in SC. then to ??Ellhou?? Spring. Then back home. Another time, mentions General Count Pulaski. Battle of Briar Creek. Then out against the Cherokee....marched from the house of Hampton in Bunchomb Co NC to the head of Broad River - a battle - Cherokee Nation - in a battle with their General Williamson who was commander and his aide de camp was killed. And it goes on, I just need some help with trying to figure out these place names, etc. So if anyone has researched some of these battles and where they marched from and to, please get in touch with me.
