State of Tennessee County
Court
Lincoln County October term, 1832
On this
17th day of October, 1832, personally appeared before the Justices of
the County Court of Lincoln County, Tennessee, William White, a resident
of said county and state, aged about 78 years the 10th of January next,
who being duly sworn according to law, doth on his oath, make the
following declaration in order to attain the benefit of a provision made
by act of Congress passed June 7, 1832. That he entered the service of
the United States under the following officers and served as herein
stated, viz.: That he volunteered in Colonel Stephen?s Regiment of
Minutemen in Fauquier County, Virginia some time in the month of
September in the year 1775 [as he thinks], Major Thomas Marshall also
commanded in said regiment. The company to which I belonged was
commanded by Captain John Shelton who was afterwards killed at the
Battle of Brandywine or Germantown [ I now forget which] and also by
Lieutenant John Marshall, son of Major Thos. Marshall, and now Chief
Justice of the United States. In the same month we marched from our
county to Culpepper Courthouse in Virginia, where we commenced building
barracks, but before we completed them an express arrived for us to go
to the lower country where Gov. Dunmore was raising a disturbance. We
immediately marched to Williamsburg, and were there stationed in the
Capitol three or four weeks during the time our regiment was stationed
at Williamsburg. I volunteered and went with a rifle company commanded
by a Capt. Bluford to Hampton Road and at Hampton we had an action with
five small British vessels called ?tenders? lying in a creek a small
distance away from the bay, one of which we took and drove the others
off. From Hampton we marched back to Williamsburg and I joined my
regiment. We then started towards Norfolk, where Gov. Dunmore had
established himself, and came to a bridge about 14 or 15 miles from
Norfolk, called at that time ? the long bridge? at which place was a
British fort about 5 miles below the bridge at a ferry which was guarded
by some Tories and Negroes. Gen?l. Scott, being with our army at his
time, beat up for volunteers to storm the lower fort, and I and several
of my company besides others went and stormed the forts dung the night.
We completely routed them and took several Negroes and one white man
prisoner. We marched back to the long bridge and raised breastworks
against the fort where Fordyce commanded. In 3 or 4 days afterwards,
Fordyce marched out of the fort to storm our breastworks, and we killed,
wounded and took prisoner his whole company except one Ensign who made
his escape. Capt. Fordyce was shot through the body with ten balls. We
then marched to Norfolk against Dunmore who retreated to his vessels and
set fire to the town. We lay at Norfolk a few weeks and were then
marched back home where we were discharged about the middle of April,
having been in service between 7 and 8 months. In the middle of May
following, I went to Alexandria, now in the District of Columbia, to see
my brother, John White, who had enlisted in a company commanded by the
same Capt? Shelton, and who was so unwell as to be unable to do service.
I then became a substitute for my brother for three months, after which
he returned and took his place. During the time I was a substitute, we
lay the greater part of that time at Alexandria, but 3 or 4 weeks before
I left that service, we marched over to the Washington side of the
Potomac River, and after remaining there 2 or 3 weeks, we started
towards Philadelphia, but before we had gone far, my brother came and I
returned home.
Sometime in the latter part of 1780, I
enlisted in the service of the United States for the term of 18 months,
in the company commanded by Capt. Warman [ or some such name] attached
to the regiment of regulars commanded by Colonel Gaskins and Major John
Willis, in Fauquier County, Virginia.
We assembled at
Fredericksburg, where, as soon as the different companies arrived, they
were sent to Powhatan Courthouse to be disciplined by Gen?l. Steuben. As
soon as I arrived at Fredericksburg, I was appointed Orderly Sergeant in
which capacity I continued to act during the time I was in service. Part
of the company to which I belonged, under Capt. Field, and the other
under a Lieu?t. whose name I now forget, were on our way to Powhatan
Courthouse for the purpose before stated. When we had proceeded some
distance, an express arrived, informing us that the British had burnt
Manchester, and us to cut across the country to Point of Forks in order
to avoid them as we had not yet received any arms, and to guard that
place as our arms and public stores were there.
Here we
joined Gen?l. Steuben and drew our arms. We remained there 3 or 3 days
when an express arrived that they British, under Col. Tarleton were
marching upon us. Steuben became alarmed and ordered us cross over James
River and remove our stores, but before we had entirely succeeded,
Tarleton came up and took some of the stores, 2 of the baggage wagons,
and made prisoners of the guard. On that night Steuben ordered a large
quantity of rails to be produced to made fires and ordered the army to
retreat leaving one Ensign and a small company to keep up the fires in
order to deceive the British.
He had sent up and down the
river 4 or 5 miles to destroy all the boats to prevent the enemy from
crossing to pursue us. We retreated to Halifax Old Town, marching 3 days
and nights without provision and without rest. We stayed there a few
days and nights and were ordered to return to James River and join
Gen?l. Wayne and Lafayette who were then pursuing Lord Cornwallis. We
crossed the River at Carter?s Ferry and joined Gen?l Wayne at
headquarters and our regiment was attached to his forces as light
infantry. Cornwallis and his army retreated down the river and our army
under Gen?l Wayne continued to maneuver so as to harass them very much
in their march, especially at Green Springs where they crossed the
river, we attacked their rear and did them considerable injury. After
crossing the river, which was near Old Jamestown, they marched to
Williamsburg and proceeded to Yorktown, and all which route we followed
them and finally besieged and took them all prisoner at that place.
After the surrender of Lord Cornwallis, our regiment was marched back to
Powhatan Courthouse where we remained until the latter part of the
succeeding April, our regiment being then ordered to Savannah and I
being very unwell, I procured a substitute to go in my place and I
returned home, and was not in service any more during the war. I had a
written discharge, but it is now lost. I think the term of my service
was from the time I enlisted until the time I left the service was about
14 or 15 months, during all which time I acted as Orderly Sergeant in
our regiment. In addition to the officers before mentioned, I was
acquainted with Gen?l Washington, Col Hamilton, his aid,[ who commanded
us at the time we were drawing in the entrenchments at the siege of
Yorktown] also with Gen?ls Wayne, Green, Lee, Scott, Woodford, Sumpter,
Morgan and others.
I was born in Fauquier County,
Virginia on the 10th day of January, 1755. I have a record of my age now
in my possession. I lived there when I entered service. After the
Revolutionary War, I moved to Rowan County , North Carolina, where I
lived about 30 years, then came to this county where I now live. At the
time I left the service, a new Colonel had just been appointed to the
command of our regiment from whom I secured my discharge, but whose name
I now forget. I hereby relinquish every claim whatever to a pension or
annuity except the present and declare that my name is not on the
pension roll of any agency in any state. In court with me I now have no
evidence of my service, nor do I know of any person whose testimony I
can procure to testify to the service unless it be Chief Justice
Marshall, with whom I served in a regiment of what was then called
?Minutemen? at the beginning of the war. As to my character for veracity
and my revolutionary services, I would refer to the Rev. Cumberland
Wilson, Col. Wm. Moore, and Col. Isaac Holman, and to Mr. James Bright.
Sworn to and subscribed the day and year afores?d. Teste.

and that we concur in that opinion. Sworn and subscribed this day and
year aforesaid. Test. Robert ?, clerk. Signed, Cumberland Wilson,

In a Narrative
History of Rowan Co. NC, James S. Brawley, writing in 1953 says;
At the time Granville?s survey was run [1746] people were beginning to
fill the valley between the Yadkin and Catawba Rivers. The first
settlers seemed to have followed the PeeDee and Santee, and picked up
lands in the southern park of what is now Rowan Co. Others poured in
from PA and traveled the Great Wagon Road that led them through the
Shenandoah Valley into the north Carolina Piedmont, another route
followed the Upper PA Road which is found on the map of 1775, and shows
that route, instead of turning eastward in Virginia towards Amelia Court
House, continued through the Shenandoah Valley to Winchester, Salem, and
into NC where it stopped just about 10 miles above Reedy Creek, a
distance of about 435 miles.
