They were gallant soldiers iu thy Revolutionary army, engaged actively on the side of Uhertv in the struggle tor independence, and sullered and sacrificed much in the sacred'cau^e.

He married twice; his first wife was a Wrigiu, Lis second, Penelope Kirkland, and by each were several children, whose descendants are to be found in South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama and Mississippi. Richard Winn, wbeu he removed from Virgia to South Carolina, had r.oj attained his majority, but bad acquired an excellent iiuglisli education. He was familair with wiiu tbe dead languages, had an acquisitive rtiuda'nd kept himseii familiar witb literature Eai scien>ic discoveries Being a tine mathematical) and a good practical surveyor, he found reany employment and bis services were secured by a company cf Wealthy Englishmen 10 surrey asd locate huds for them. His compensation was every eighth tract and "be thus engrossed a large quantity r>f land hefora tha eecaration of tbe . colonies from the mother country. He was a justice of th? peace under the British Government and retained the ofSoe nearly up to the breaking out of hostilities. Resigning the position, he joined the army. Many of his neighoors took British protection, but he scorned the idw of loyalty to a foreign king and his decision a:;d boldness exasperated the Tories and British, who would have hung him if they ccu!d have laid hold of him. At the beginning of the war he entered the regular service of South Carolina and in June, li /?>, was commis-i sioned as firat lieutenant of the Hanger. In the attack on Sullivan's Island, Le so dis'inguisbed himself by skill and gallantry, that he was sent In command of a special expedition for the defense of Fort .Mcintosh on the Saltillo river. For two ' days he kept oil* a strong body of Turies aod Indians, but was c^mp.Ued to capitulate to a heavy reinforcement of British soldiers. Returning to Fairfield D.strict, he took command of the miiiti:> and was in several hardfought battle. The defeat of the British at Hanging Itock depended, in a ^reat measure, on his conduct and courage. Full of enthusii*m, enjoying the gaiulia ceriaminis, 'he faid to General Davi?, ;ii the thickest of the j fight, "I* not tbis g'orions?" During the battle be was severely wounded and was borne off the field abont the time the enemy were effecting a retreat. On bis recovery, he afforded ab'c support to Jeneral Sumter, and continued in active aDc! useful service until the enemy were expelled from the State. When Lord Cornwall occupied Winusboro iu 1732, before he marched to Guilford C. II. and | Yorktown, his headquarter? were a- ! the house of Richard Winn.* Ilichard ) SViua was made colonel before peace was declared, and few soldiers were in more engagements. j The war separated f&tniiies ami | created bitter dissensions in commurii-j ties in Carolina and Georgia. The.se ! States bad no special grievances j aga:n>t England; were treated will compara'ive favor, and the citizens wh) were ia the Continental army were actuated by an unselfish desire for national independence and sincere love of civil liberty. Those who adh??rAri tn t.'.ft mother couatrv were called loyalists, Royalists aud Tories, j while the other side took the name of i "Whigs, because the Whigs iu Parliament opposed (he laws which the colonies resisted. Many of the loyalists} were highly repntable people, others acted treacherously, or as spies, a:.d incurred an odium which lasted fur half a century or more. In my boyhood days no greater insult could be offered,"nor onej which ensured a! readier blow, than to call one a son of j a Tory. Resa.'iatory measures were j common daring the struggle and acts | of violence aud cruelty embittered the contest and provoked hatred and revenge. Colonel Winn's house was "looted" and burnt; his slaves were carried off and transported to Jamaica, and ' is wife and children were -'riven aw: c and would have suffered great hardships bat for the generosity and friendship of a neighbor who had takes! Bri'ish protection. He carried them to ? place of safety among friends, who cured for them until Colo: e: Winu, thc-n confined bccause of wonnds, could mal:e suitable provision for them. When the war w^s ended it was necessary to enter actively into business to repair wasted fortune. His fc enersr * was rewarded by prosperity which, for a time, continued until the then common habit of becoming self ? 1 K" curity for fiie.ids g f-mb^rrssv-d him.

On December 1G, 1793, he presented his credentials and took the required oath for a seat in 11 ii* u-e of li-presenta'ives. He rern.injd a member of Congress urml 1813 and reV.iv continued to serve for the session ior which he was elected, after ho hai removed to Tennessee. On November o, 1S11, he precented himself to takf> tbe usual oath and John C.
