I have George Winder in my direct line and would like to find out if there is a connection. Also would like to know what the big secret is in the Haskins family. Does anybody know? What happened to Sophronia? Why did George marry her sister? Whose kids were the grandchildren listed in the 1880 census of James Henry and Hannah Haskins? Somebody must know. Please help me. This is driving me crazy.

http://www.tngennet.org/monroe/korea.htm I have updated the page with branch of service for all men except Wm. R. Sloan. If anyone knows his branch of service please let me know. Also please check the other wars: WWI, WWII, and Vietnam. Please let me know if you have information for those men that I have down but have no branch of service. There's going to be a memorial for the east Tenn. counties' 20th century Wars dead. It's important that all men are included. So if you know of one who died in battle or under circumstances during a war, please contact me. Joy Joy Locke jlocke@usit.net Monroe Co.

That he entered the service of the United States under the following named officers and served as herein stated. That he volunteered in Halifax County, Virginia for three months under Capt. James Cobb, Lieut. Jacob Kelly in the year 1778. The object of the company as informed by Capt. Cobb was to prevent the landing of a British ship which was in James River below the mouth of Elizabeth. The company marched from Halifax County VA through Peterburg to Williamsburg, then to Hampton on James River, passing a small town which he thinks was called Little York. The company remained sometime, he disremembers how long, at Hampton to prevent the British from coming into the settlement for provisions Pg. 3 Then the company left their baggage and wagons and went to Portsmouth on the opposite side of the river Elizabeth by . . .fall? There they remained some time, then crossed the river, marched thro’ Norfolk to a place called the Pleasure House on James River, about 25 miles below Norfolk. After remaining there a few days they found provisions could not be had and marched back to Portsmouth and remained until their three months term had nearly expired. Then part of the Company went by water and part by land and met at Williamsburg, where they were discharged having served out the term of three months. None of the Company rec’d a written discharge. Applicant was the drummer and William Logan the fifer of said Company. He has no documentary evidence of the above stated service and knows of no person by whom he can prove that he served it, or any fact relating to it. In the year 1779 applicant moved to Wilkes County, North Carolina and early in the Spring 1781 was drafted and attached to Capt. Richard Allen’s Company of Infantry and marched to Maj. Lewis on the Yadkin River where the company was discharged. He understood the company was to join General Pg. 3 Green’s army, but hearing of the Battle of Guilford the company was discharged, having been in service at least twenty days. He rec’d no written discharge and knows of no person by whom he can prove the service evidence. On July 1781 he was drafted in Wilkes County No. C’a for three months and attached to Capt. Allen Gordon’s Company under the command of Col. Francis Lock and he thinks Col. Malberg (a Frenchman) took the command at Waran?- The company rendezvoused at Hamblin’s Store in Surry County, No. Carolina about the 27th July 1781 and marched to Camden where they remained a few days, then they crossed the Watine? River, then the Corigance, then to the Eutaw Springs where they joined Gen’l Greens Army on the morning before the battle. He was in the battle fought at Eutaw Springs on the 9th of Sept 1781. After the battle Capt. Gordon’s Company, of which he was one, marched to Salisbury guarding British prisoners to a place called Bill’s Branch, where his term of service expired and he received the accompanying discharge and returned to Wilkes Co. where he remained til the year 1824 when he moved to Monroe Pg. 5 County Tennessee, where he now resides.
