August 18, 1779, a Captain of Colonel Isaac Huger's Fifth 
Regiment of the South Carolina Line; he was twice wounded
and taken prisoner at the Siege of Savannah, said wounds 
resulting in loss of right leg.  Immediately after his exchange

He applied for bounty land from Charleston, District,
South Carolina in 1832, then aged seventy-one years, and was 
granted three hundred acres on Warrant umbered 1859.
The above noted is the only soldier by that name, of the
