Henry Finch to serve every call of our officers to keep after the Tories and other out liers in Johnston County and the adjacent country. Served two months and was dismissed by Capt. Finch, the month and year not recollected but think it was at the beginning of the war. Not long after I was drafted to serve a three months tour as a private in Capt. Henry Finch's Company again. Marched to Kingston on the Nuse River, then across that river at Coxe's Ferry, then on towards Trent River, then on near Wilmingtown. After halting sometime we marched through Dijoin Country to Drowning Creek at the fair bluff, then March to Elizabethtown on Capt Fair River, then back to Smithfield in Johnson County where we first marched from. Served three months - got discharged & went home. In about 12 months was drafted for another three months tour and marched under Capt. John Trent under Col. Needham Bryan & marched across Tar River below Tarbourough Town & through Green County near Edenton, expecting to meet Brittish and Torys and after staying there a few weeks marched up Roanoke River to Halifax Town and was staioned there about two weeks, then on through Nash County in pursuant to Tories and into Wake County. Served three months and was discharged by Capt Trent, the year not recollected. Some four or five momths after this, I was with a number of others and was called on by Col. John Smith of Johnson County to gard a parcel of Brittish soldiers, one hundred thirty in number, that was sent to Smithfield to be guarded till they could be exchanged. I served as gard two months and was dischaged by order of Col. Smith. He remembers being with General Green's Army in his rout towards Wilmington, but did not remain long with Gen. Green." He also remembers being mustered by Adjadent Childers while with Gen. Green's army, the year not recollected. "Not long after I was discharged from guarding the Brittish prisoners, orders came for some eighteen months men to be raised. I, for one, turned out as a volunteer, and when orders came to march, I sent my Serven in my place & I was discharged. I have no papers to prove place but it was near the end of the War as well as I recollect. Neither have I any papers not do I no of any person now living by whom I could prove my services.
