Some Bits of Revolutionary History.
[Written for The Times, l>y Prof.
A. A. St rock, of Carlisle.]
j -The portion of South Carolina
j embracing parts of Ijaurcns, Cnion,
! and Spartanburg counties, watered
by the Pacolet, the Tygor and the
Enorce, witnessed many deeds of
! violence and bloodshed, and many
, 1k>1(1 achievements of sturdy patri'
ots. A few of these deeds are recorded,
but the greater number
have been forgotten. South Carolina
has made tnore history and
saved less than any of the other thh teen
original colonies. In the library
I of Winthrop College is an autograph
letter from Thomas Nelson I'age, in
which this sentence occurs: I believe
that the story of the people of
South Carolina will be the chosen
field of romance in years to come."
A noted Tory, who made depredations
upon settlers living in sections
of Spartanburg and Union
counties, was Patrick Moore, a loy
jalist from North Carolina. In .July
i and August, 17.S0, ho was in command
of Fort Thiukutty or Fort
I Anderson, situated a quarter of a
mile north of (toucher Creek, which
| I empties into Thiekotty Creek, a
i western tributary of the Broad river.
This fort wis built as a de|
| fence against the Cherokees, and
j was strongly fortfiied. It became a
j place of great resort and protection
for the Tories. They would sally
j forth in every direction and plunder
the families of the Whigs, so
1 that women and children would of1
ten Ik- left without clothing, shoes,
t ' brood, meat or salt.
In the absence of ('apt. Nathani-1
Jeffries, of that region, one of those
plundering expeditions was made
upon his house. They took such articles
as they wanted, and piled up
and set fire to the rest. Then they
drove off the horses and cattle. On
another occasion, the house of Samuel
McJunkin, a warm patriot in
Union District, who was too old for
active military service, was visited
! by a band of Tories under Patrick
Moore. They stayed all night, and
when they were about to leave next
morning, they stripjxcl the family
of hed-clothes and wearing apparel.
I A mil
e <1 IIUIV/M U M > , IMM i 1 I I'O H ' '1 I 1 I f
jj seized a favorite bed quilt ami
S placed it upon liis horse. Mc.Junk5
in's sturdy daughter, Jane, seized
l it, and a struggle for its possession
\ ensued. This furnished aniuseSment
for the soldiers, who hegan to
exclaim, "W ell done, woman?well
| doue, _ Hill."' In the exeitement
a over the seullle, Moore swore warm.
ly that if Jane could take it, from
~ Haynesworth, she should have it.
! Presently, in the fierce contest,
' Bill's feet slipped, and he fell proses
' trate to the ground. Jane, quick
as thought, placed her foot upon his
hreast, and giving a wrest, retired
in triumph. Bill sneaked away,
! defeated and crestfallen. This
j\ brave woman was a sister of Major
McJunkin, who was with Col. John
}l'. Thomas when he defeated the Tories
j. at Cedar Spring.
$! About this time another bravi
feat was performed by Miss Nancj
lst Jackson, who lived near Fair Foresl
^ Creek. The Tories had just plum
a' dercd her home, and as one wat
jj] going down stairs, loaded witl
plunder, she kicked him over. Ii
lf.g his rage, he threatened to send tht
7 Hessian troops there next day. Ii
L.(j oraer to save nerseii, tne brave gir
I1(j had to seek refuge among hei
friends some distance away.
Sumter, hearing of the depredn
tions of the British and Tories upor
| the settlers of that section, (lispatched
Col. Clarke with his Geor
| gians, together with such person!
in his camp who lived in that com
munity and desired to aid in its
| protection, to repair to that quarter
I Capt. William Smith, of Spartan
tM1 hurg, and his company, availet
ut | gelves of the opportunity. Arrivinj
at Cherokee ford, they met Col
n" McDowell. Col. Shelby, with si:
hundred men, was sent to surprisi
,n- Thicketty Fort, some twenty milei
'w distant. Marching at sunset, the^
arrived and surrounded the fort a
(lay next morning. Capt. Willian
en Cocke, afterward it U. S. senatoi
ias from Tennessee, was sent to de
n" mand the surrender of the place
Moore replied that he would defcnt
?fjthe fort to the last extremity
a I Shelby then drew his lines withii
! musket shot of the fort, determine*
to make an assault.
,m The formidable appearance <
Shelby's "six hundred" had suci
m' an effect on Moore that he, on i
second demand, relented and sur
ia? rendered the place. Ninety-thre
k* Tories and one British sergeant ma
jor, who drilled them, were surren
?b dered without a shot being fired
This was a great surprise to th
British, who considered the fort im
,s pregnable. In a dispatch fron
L' Ferguson to Cornwallis, captured a
King's Mountain, they attribute*
x* the surrender to cowardice on th
part of Moore, and recommende*
,n- him to be court-martialed.
