• Notes

  He supposedly died a few days before the Guilford NC Courthouse battle which took place on Mar 15, 1781. He died when a tree caught on fire over the tent of the older soldiers in this encampment. He was a friend of General Warren and was fighting with Green's army even though no Rev. War records have been found to support this strong oral tradition. If he is the Samuel in the 1790 census in Mecklenburg, here is that census. Home in 1790 (City, County, State) Mecklenburg, North Carolina Free White Persons - Males - Under 16 3 (George, James, Thomas) Free White Persons - Males - 16 and over 1 (Samuel) Free White Persons - Females 5 (Wife Nancy and Harriet, Mary, Elizbeth and Jane.
