And ended November A.D. 1780. and nothing very material was done in this tour, more than we march throughs & scoured the counties of Randolph, Moore and Montgomery, in search of the Enemy & Tories. and was in but one small skirmish in this campaign and that was with a small company of the Tories which took place at the Widow Spencers on the head waters of Little River in Montgomery County N.C. But nothing was done in this engagement, beyond that of a fire on our part, & dispersion on their part.
