The early writers were earefal to col* leot facts in regard to prominent persons who took aotive parts on either side in the Revolution of 1770. When Dr. Lyman C. Draper was In this country, abont twenty years ago, he talked with several persons who were well informed about the traditloos relating to the war. He examined all the histories relating to this up-oonntry, and what he asserted in his book may be relied on. The following Is from his "King's Mountain and Its Heroes:" Edward Musgrove, whose name baa been perpetuated by the battle fonght near bis home, was a native of England and bred to the law and well educated. He was a very prominent man amongst the early settlers. When the war began he was living with his third wi e and too old to take any part in the bloody strife. He died ia 1792, aged 70, aad was buried near bis home. By his first wife he had a son by tbe name of Beaks, who joined the Loyalists, or Toriee, as they were called. Paddy Oarr, one of Colonel Clarke's daring soldiers, captured Beaks in his father's house. When he bad his sword ready to kill Beaks, Mary Musgrove threw herself between them and saved her brother's life. Either through fear, cr prompted by pome o her motive, ho never united with the Tories agtin. About llie cfcse cf the warho'eltthe country and never returned He had a son who became a very eccentric Ban list preacher. "By his second wif-, who was a Miss Fanclier, Edward* Musgrove had two daughters, Mary and Susan, who w-*ie 20 to 25 y* ars old and uumariied. They were said to he remarkably attractive in body and mind, ami often ministered to ilie wounded and suffering during the war. Those sisters died soon after the war with consumption, Mary passing away about a year before her sister. They we e buried by the side of their parents. When Mary was about pasei g away, she requested that her sister ana three other \oung ladies should act as pall bearers. Her body was so light that they bore it to its iinal resting place on silk handkerchiefs. offered s"ine assis'aoce, when a member of the family, ont* of respect for Mary's Whig principles, inierf red and prevented it. "By his third wife Edward Murgrove hal a daughter, Margaret, who married Landon Waters. She was 12 years o'd at the time of the battle. She di d about 1824, and it is to her that we are indebted for the statements about the family. Capt. Philemon M. Waters was a eon of Margaret Mosgrove. "Col. H. D. Floyd says when he was a boy his father owned a negro Darned Nias, who was bonght from the Musgrove family. Nias was several years old when the battle was fought, and when be was old he talked much about the battle and the Masgroves, and told of the death of the two girls." The above sketch is given because it may iaterest our readers and show that the most authentic histories and traditions prove that Mary Mutgrove had no descendants. , IN MEMORY Of J.
