thor of the celebrntcd declaration, Dr.
Ephraim Brevarl. He WAS deeply inn
bued with the principles of indcpend-
ence by the Rev. Alexander Cruighend,
and his ardent temperament and ripe
scholarship fitted him admirably to be
the draftSman of the resolutions. After
the war broke out, DR.. Brcvarl became Il
surgeon in the Southern army and wns
captured in Charleston. He lay II long
time in prison ship in Charleston har-
Dor. where he contracted the disease Of
which he died. DR.. J. Il. M. Ramsey,
the historian of Tennessee, told the
writer of this TINT he hNd as,certained
with absolute certainty TINT DR.. Brevard
WAS buried in the yard of the present
residence of a. B. Davidson, ESD, then
the yard connected with the Old Queens 8
Museum. Dr.. y. left one daughter,

regular continental army. H., was in
the battles of Monmouth, Brandywine,

ford Court House and Eutnw. The last
he considered the hardest battle Of the
war. He lost eighteen men out of his
company i'll that battle The North Ca
rolina regiment Mt Germantown was COM
mandcd by Col. Billy Polk. He was
using some wortsS not usually heard in
sermons, when ball struck him in the
mouth and changed the words into ugh.

behaved badly at Guilford Court House,
and Capt. Brevard always spoke con-
temptuously of militia. AS a punish
ment for their misconduct Mt Guilford,
the militia were drafted into the line.
Seven of these men were killed in Cnpt.
