1S16. 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
