Notes
The best and most complete roster avauilable is
_The Patriots at Kings
Mountain_, Dr. Bobby Gilmer Moss, 1990, Scotia
Press, Blacksburg, SC. It is
currently avbailable and I have seen it at several
history/southern oriented
book stores. Dr. Moss has used a variety of
sources including Revolutionary
War pension applications to compile the list. No
list of the participants
appears to exist from the time of the battle.
I have a book titled "The overmountain men" that I bought at King's
Mt. It
has a ten and a half page list of men who fought. I would be glad to
look
for specific names. Just, PLEASE, make your subject line clear that
that is
what you want. I'm going to be deleting a lot of message unread for a
while. I have 8 stitches on my hand. I knew there was a good reason I
don't like doing the dishes!
I found some very good information on the overmountain men in a book on
Ashe
County, North Carolina (there's a series with each county). The problem
it
seems, was that when the line of signal fires were lit to tell the
militia
that the British were on the move, the men in Captain Osborne's company
(fort Osborne is near Independance Virginia on the Ashe County line so
the
men were actually from both states) were not able to join their proper
commander and force, so they moved south east and joined a different
commander. Their proper force did not record them because they were not
with them, and the other force did not record them because they were not
supposed to be with them. Later NC court records authorize repayment to
Captain Osborne for supplies purchased for men at Kings Mountain and
some
pension records refer to these men being there. Just a matter of the
records not being complete. There was also a very interesting and
detailed
story about a man who road through the mountains alerting the outer
areas, I
believe he ran a couple of horses to death and was nearly killed several
times, his route was several times longer and much more dangerous than
Paul
Revere's...just no one wrote about anything famous about him.
