"THE BATTLE OF LINDLEY'S MILL" The Quakers, because they steadfastly refused to bear arms againsttheir fellow man, were for the most part, neutral during the War of theAmerican Revolution. In the immediate area around Thomas Lindley's land andgrist mill in North Carolina, there were both Tory and Whig sympathizers.The Tories were those loyal to the British Crown, while the Whigs were the rebels, or those who sought their independence from England. The Whig forces are said to have commandeered Thomas Lindley to provide flourfor the troops from his grist mill. It is most likely for this reasonthat in the DAR lineage books, Thomas and his son Jonathon, are listed asPatriots.
On September 13, 1781, the hardest fought battle of the AmericanRevolution in North Carolina outside of the Guilford Courthouse Battle, sixmonths earlier, was fought at and around Thomas Lindley's grist mill and onthe land that he owned. It was the last military engagement of the Revolutionary War in North Carolina, and was basically a civil waramong two small armies of Tory and Whig loyalists from that area of North Carolina.
Colonel David Fanning, an unpredictable and strikingly successful Tory leader, who had the reputation for cruel retalitory vengenance onWhigs and their families, crept during the night to the outskirts ofHillsborough, the temporary State Capitol. On the morning of September 12, 1781,Fanning and his men, under a cover of heavy fog, swept into Hillsborough and captured Whig Govenor Burke and 200 or so other political prisoners. Fanning's destination was Wilmington, North Carolina, where he was to deliver his prisoners to the British. After five hours of looting the village of Hillsborough, the Tories set out with their prisoners onthe road to Wilmington.
Someone had escaped from Hillsborough and made their way to the CaneCreek area to warn General Butler of the Whigs of the coming Tory force.The Tories camped the night of the 12th some six or seven miles fromLindley's Mill. On the morning of the 13th, they set out again. The Whigs,some 300 strong, had massed on a plateau 15 to 20 feet above the road from Hillsborough where it crossed the Stafford Branch of cane creek, jus afew hundred feet east of Lindley's Mill. At about noon on the 13th, the advance line of 600 Tories was fired upon from the plateau by thehidden Whigs. In the ensuing four hour battle, a 100 or so men were killedand 150 wounded. The Whigs retreated, fearful that Fanning's forces wouldkill their prisoners. Fanning was wounded in the battle, but his force was successful in delivering the prisoners to the British. However, The American Revolution ended less than a month later with the surrenderof Cornwallis at Yorktown.
Tradition tells us that the wounded of both sides were cared for bythe Quakers of the area, many of whom were Lindleys by blood or marriage.It is said that 34 men were buried in a mass grave along Cane Creek.Some of the wounded were laid on the floor of the Spring Meetinghouse which atthat time was under construction. Lumber from the ceiling was stacked onthe floor and became blood stained from the wounds of the injured.According to family tradition, the lumber was put into place without removingthe bloodstains, and they remained visible on the ceiling and a reminderof the battle for many years.
Thomas Lindley, then in his 76th year, died the day after the battle. While tradition does not tell us why, it is quite possible that theshock of the bloody conflict was too much for a man of his age.
