honestly mistaken, bat the)
family records to prove their elaiins.
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.

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.

lives in loneliness, with none to obeer

they beleived, and put their trust.
