After a short time I was again ordered out under the same Cap ta in to go ag ainst the Tories who had embodied themselves near Cross C re ek or Fayettevi lle. We marched to Dobious Cross Roads near Salem w he re we were join ed by General Rutherford and then marched to Cro ss or Cr op Creek. Befo re we reached there most their men had been kill ed or tak en prisoner. T he prisoners were sent to Virginia in char ge of light hors emen. The remai ning men were discharged from General Ru therford's army a nd we returned ho me after two months.
Not long after this, the information was received by Colonel Cleve la nd th at Colonel Ferguson was advancing from South Carolina with a l ar ge bo dy of British and Tories. Colonel Cleveland and Colonel Campbe ll 's Virgin ia Regt. were near Winter Fort in Burke County and they mar ch ed into the e dge of South Carolina to the Cherokee Ford on Broad Ri ve r. That part of t he army which could procure horses went on to King 's Mo untain to meet Ferg uson. I had no horse and couldn't get one, so w as le ft behind and did n ot reach the battle ground in time. The batt le was ov er and the troops we re returning with the prisoners and were tw enty fi ve miles on this si de of the battle ground before we joined them.
We then marched with the prisoners as far as Salem, North Carol in a. Wh en I reached Salem, I received my discharge. I had been gone t hr ee mont hs this time. I also served at the command of Captain John Mor gan .
After this I returned to Wilkes County where I remained. The re is no do cu mentary evidence to prove my service. I do not remember re ceiving a ny wri tten discharge.
