• Notes

  Absaolm and his brother-in-law, James Harbison, volunteered in Botetourt Co., Virginia, in the "faul before the Battle of Cow Pens" in 1780 and served for 6 months. They entered the service of Capt. James Robinson under Major David Campbell's command, and marched to South Carolina. They were within six days' march of the Battle of Cow Pens (17 Jan 1781). They passed over through King's Moutain and then to Hamsour's Mill, crossing down the river to Horse Ford. They heard the guns when Gen. Davidson was killed on the Catawba River. They marched to salisbury in North Carolina, then to Bland Ford on the Yadkin River. They were in a battle with the British where Capt. Henly was taken prisoner. They then were marched to Virginia on the Dan River where they were discharged. In 1783 he was one of the commisioners who came to the Cumberland District to survey lands set apart by the Legislature for the soldiers of the Continental line and others. He is mentioned as a Justice of the Peace as early as September 1790. 7 Aug 1789, acquired 640 acre tract from William Lee. In land was at the time in Hawkins County, TN near Treadway, TN.
