min Roebuck and of Colonel Hen
ry White are not mentioned SO
far as we recollect in our revo-
lutlonary history, and yet there
were not in the service of the
country two more active or en-
terprising officers.
Col. Roebuck was a native of
Spartanburg district, brave to a
fault, and disinterested as he was
brave, wholly devoted to the good
OF his country. He had the COM
mand of a colonel in the battle at
CoWpens, and was the first who
received the attack of the Brit
lsh IN that memorable action.
He was also engaged in manv
other battles, and we wish to
embalm the memory of all such
pure and devoted patriots. He
was taken prisoner, and COM
mltted to close confinement in
Ninety Six district, was repeat
edly wounded, suffered much
from his wounds and finally died
about the close of the war. He
never married, his only command
was over brave militia of Spar
tanburg and York Districts, all
his neighbors, friends and fellow
patriots.
Col. White was the intimate
friend and companion in arms, of
Col. Roebuck. He too was a

age and enjoyed the blessings OF
Independence for which he had
bravely fought and bled.
