Notes

"According to my records, Minyard (b. 1742, d. October 7, 1780) married
Sarah Johnson , sis of Mary ("Polly") Johnson (who had married Minyard's
brother, Edward). It appears that Minyard and Sarah were both from
Lunenburg and Charlotte Counties in Virginia. I have a copy of a deed for
land they purchased on Twitty's Creek there. Lunenburg was originally a
parent of many counties, including Halifax and Charlotte Counties. It
seems that Minyard and Sarah (Johnson) Harris married in Charlotte County VA
in 1764 and moved to Rowan County in 1775. That area of Rowan County later
became Burke County and still later, became McDowell Co."

Notes

"Richard Whittington,a resident of Zion Hill Precinct,aged about 80 years,declares that he entered the service of the United States in the following manner:
First he volunteered under Capt. Robert Lloyd,Col. William Koch and served 2 months.That the troop were destined to a station at 96, but the march was diverted to a camp near Camden, SC, known by the name of Snow Camp.
The next service was under the same officers.They marched to Charleston and remained in garrison in expectation of the British.He again served 2 months.He was again called into service by draft under the same officers and stationed at Fort Johnson on James Island near Charleston, where he continued for 1 month and a half.
The next service called by draft was served in a company commanded by Capt. Thomas, Col. Moses Simmons, stationed for 3 weeks at Perrysburg when the British Army came on across the Savannah River and pursued our milita to Cocsahatchee Creek. Here Col. Simmons made station and gave battle.The action was conducted by Col. Lawrence who joined our regiment. Lawrence and his horse were both wounded. We were compelled to fly before the enemy into Charleston. The day after our arrival at Charleston, the British demanded a surrender of that place, which was refused by Gov. Rutledge. The British, having retreated across the Ashley River, were then met by Gen. Lincon, who gave them battle at Stone. The declarent was not in this action but could distinguish the firing from Charleston.
During this stay at Charleston, he was promoted to Lt. in said Company, commissioned by Gov. Rutledge.The first time rendered as an officer was the Capt. Purses under Gen. Marion, stationed near Monks Corner about 2 months. He was born in Essex Co,VA in 1753.When called into service he lived in the Cherokee Dist of SC. He since lived in Hancock Co, GA and now in Amite Co, MS.

Richard was a knock kneed awkward man and was better known and more noticed because of it. Richard was Mary's fathers brother, therefore he was married to his own neice.
