that time. I again entered the service of
the United States being drafted about the latter
end of the same year (1779), and marched from
the County of Cumberland under Captain Richard
Allen through Goochland and Albemarle &c
passed the said Morben Hill and joined the

weeks, then marched down to Jamestown
from thence we marched in various directions
not being stationed long at any one place
