We had a small skirmish with the Tories but they soon broke & was defeated. We afterwards continued our marching & Ranging, where ever we could hear of the Tories gathering, and Dispersing them. Our orders was to take them. And many and kept them in custody until they could be sent and put in the continental Service. We lost our Ensign Bazzil Billingsly, killed by of the Tories.

Then I removed to Rowan County in State of North Carolina, when I lived about 19 years, Then I removed into Virginia Washington County where I lived about 39 years.
