  • Notes 
    • In March 1781 the entire county militia of Pittsylvania County Va was drafted for the battle of Guilford Courthouse. The Virginia Militia made up the second line of defense at the Guilford Courthouse battlefield. The main body of the
      British hit the American second line where the Virginians gave a good account of themselves. They finally had to withdraw in an orderly fashion. Many military historians comment on the outstanding performance of the Virginian Militia. Cornwallis won the battlefield at a terrible cost, turning his cannons on his own men during hand to hand combat.

      Campanies of Militia marched from Pittsylvania County in September 1781, and the one commanded by Captain Charles Hutchings rendezvoused at Stoney Hill (in Pittsylvia County), and marched directly to Yorktown.
