This William was doubtless the Private William of Fauquier County: pension application S 5742, was BORN Westmoreland County, VA ----25 July 1762; d. Fauquier County, VA, 8 February 1842. William appeared at Court, Fauquier County, 25 September 1832, aged 70 years on July 25, 1832, an deponed that he had enlisted in 1778 with Lt. William Moore of the 3rd Virginia and served under Captains Waite and White, under General (Charles?) Scott; was taken prisoner at Hanging Rock in the Waxhaw settlement, South Carolina. He was in the attack of Whitefield on the Santee, andat Buford?s Defeat, where he got thirteen wounds, the most serious being in his head and right arm. In rejoining the army?.he enlisted for an 18 mo. tour in the Fauquier County militia under Captain Tilman Weaver. One out of fifteen men were drafted for the Continental army, and he entered the service as a substitute for Frank Settle 10 February 1781, and marched to Williamsburg, VA, then to Burrell?s Ferry and was in a skirmish with Tarleton?s Dragoons under Captain Thomas Wailes or Waite, then under Captain John White. On to Richmond until May 1781. he was discharged 30 May 1781. Wits. by William Waters. In rejoining the army after being payrolled a prisoner, where he had been under General Scott and Colonel Hawes, it appears that he marched through Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina to Monk?s Corner, Georgia; back to South Carolina with Lt. Col. Hawes to Whitefield, and rejoined Buford.

Mg, H. & B., v. #7 and Hist. of the War in the Southern Dep?t., by Lt. Col. Henry Lee). Col. Tarleton violated the truce and caught the unprepared, weary, illy clad and shoeless men (Buford, Col. Of the 11th Virginia had failed to put out pickets in anticipation of treachery), and cruelly slaughtered them, while they cried for mercy. Buford and a few of the cavalry and about a hundred of the somewhat advanced group of infantry, escaped. One hundred and thirteen were killed on the spot; one hundred and fifty badly wounded; fifty three were taken prisoners. One (William) was parolled. Why Cornwallis encouraged such brutality is unknown. (King Georg rewarded him with the Governor-Generalship of India; see Memoirs of the War, etc., by Richard H.
