He has only stated the time he was in actual service without taking into consideration the length of time it took him to travel to and from the scenes of action. He has lost his Brevet and each of his discharges which he had received (having no expectation of ever receiving anything for his services has been one cause of not taking more care of said papers).

| 824 | State of Georgia Madison County Amended Declaration Personally appeared before me the undersigned a Justice of the Inferior Court of Madison County Edward Ware for the purpose of amending his declaration herewith attached who after being duly sworn on oath saith ~ that as regards his first tour of duty under Capt. James Higginbotham as stated in his declaration, that he entered said service in August Seventeen hundred & seventy six and continued untill in November following making the three months as aforesaid in said declaration and that this service was performed as a private. The next tour as described in said declaration under Capt. Rucker he performed as Orderly Sergeant, this tour he entered in June 1778 and continued untill in September following making the three months as set out in said declaration. The next tour of duty as set out in the declaration is a term of service of seven days under Capt. Samuel Higginbotham as a private. He entered and performed this service in February 1781. The next as stated in the declaration was a tour of three weeks as Sergeant under Capt. Franklin, this service he entered in October 1780 and continued untill in November following making the three weeks as aforesaid. This service was performed before the seven days tour but from old age & loss of memory at that time the declaration was made was placed in this manner. The six weeks tour under Capt. Dillard he performed as Sergeant he entered this service the 27th day of February 1781 and continued untill the 12th of April following making the six weeks as aforesaid. The next tour as stated in the declaration was for a term of four months under Capt. John Loving, he entered this service in June 1781 and continued untill in October following (after the surrender of Cornwallis) making the four months as stated in the declaration. When he entered this service and joined the regiment commanded by Col. Holcomb ~ Maj. Holcomb commanded the battalion to which he was attached ~ there was a vacancy for Second Lieutenant in said company and in the absence of the Col. he received from Maj. Holcomb a Brevet for Second Lieutenant, under which Brevet he acted during this tour of four months. He never was commissioned further than the Brevet as stated under which he acted ~ the Brevet he has lost or mislaid and he knows of no person who can testify to his services except the affidavit of Richard Bond who testifys to his services in the tour of the Battle of Guilford. From the length of time since the performance of said services and the consequent loss of memory by old age it may be possible for him to be incorrect (as to the year) as regards his services in the years 1778 and 1780 but as regards the month when he entered and when discharged and the length of each term of service as stated in the declaration are correct as stated in the declaration and as regards his first entering in 1776 and quitting said service in 1781 are also correct as stated in his declaration. And altho he states in his declaration that he was attached to & served in the States Legion of Virginia whenever called for ~ he does not wish to be understood as claiming any more time than the tours as stated in his declaration, to wit 1 Three months tour as private in the expedition against Dunmore " Seven days as private guarding prisoners taken at Kings Mountain 2 Three months tours as Sergeant at Charlottesville guarding prisoners " Three weeks in pursuit of prisoners broke away from Charlottesville as Sergeant " Six weeks to the Battle of Guilford as Sergeant 3 Four Months as Lieutenant at the Siege of York He claims a pension for three months and seven days as private, five months and three days as Sergeant, and four months as Second Lieutenant, and that said services were performed by competent authority and with an embodied corps and that during said services he was not employed in any civil pursuit. He further states that the declaration and this amended declaration is the best showing he can make of his services and for those services he claims a pension.

| 826 | The American Revolution in South Carolina Cloud's Creek November 17, 1781 Patriot Cdr: Capt. Sterling Turner, and Capt. James Butler, Sr. Killed: 28 Loyalist Cdr: Maj. William Cunningham Killed: 1 Wounded: 3 Old District: Ninety-Six District; Present County: Saluda County aka Carter?s House, aka Carter?s Old Field, aka Turner House Massacre, aka Big Lick, aka Lick Creek. A small group of Patriot militia, led by Capt. James Butler, Sr. and Capt. Sterling Turner, about thirty in number, were overwhelmed and slaughtered by a force of 300 Loyalist militia led by Maj. William ?Bloody Bill? Cunningham. Only two Patriot militiamen managed to escape. After the negotiated truce at Tarrar's Spring, Capt. Sterling Turner and Capt. James Butler camped at Cloud's Creek. There had been a hard rain and all the men were soaked, and their guns would not fire. Capt. Turner went to the house of a Mr. Carter and asked for food and a dry place to put their guns in order, but Capt. Butler advised against stopping, as did one of Butler's men, but Capt. Turner ignored this advice. Maj. William Cunningham found out that they were at Mr. Carter's home and he struck in broad daylight. The Patriots returned fire from inside the log home and sent out a messenger to ask for terms of surrender. Maj. Cunningham refused any terms that would include James Butler, Jr. (in the party of Patriots with his father), and Capt. Butler offered his own life in exchange for his son's. Then his son fired out of the house and killed a Loyalist, ending all discussions, and ending up with the son dead. The Patriots now only hoped for mercy, but "Bloody Bill" was again to live up to his name. He put his own sword to Capt. Butler, Capt. Turner and all but two men. Benjamin Hughes was able to escape when Mr. Carter's cattle became frightened and stampeded. He hid under some drift wood that had caught against a pine log in a nearby creek, and was not found. A Bledsoe came out of Mr. Carter's house hanging onto Benjamin Rabun. Maj. Cunningham asked their names, but neither would answer. Rabun's skull was split in two by the saber and he died with his arms around Bledsoe's neck. Bledsoe was not killed, but it is said that he was never in his right mind afterwards. After this massacre, Maj. Cunningham and him men stopped at Towles Blacksmith shop to have their horses reshod. When Oliver Towles finished re-shoeing all of his men's horse, Maj. Cunningham's men killed him and his son and a slave boy, then set fire to all the buildings as they left.

| 836 | The first official record of Owen, other than his Bible record, was his participation in the battle of Kettle Creek. We do not know if he was already a resident of Georgia or if he had followed the army to Georgia. But, it is known that he had relatives in Wilkes County, Georgia because in Miss Eliza Bowen?s History of Wilkes County she states on page sixteen, ?with the solitary exception of Mr. William Fluker who was raised in the community I think I am the only person in Washington who has ever been on the battlefield. Mr. Fluker?s ancestor was living in the neighborhood when the battle was fought and the man?s brother, Owen Fluker, was one of the soldiers engaged?. Owen Fluker married a Sarah around 1750. Their first child Susanna was born August 10, 1753. She married a Morgan. John was born in 1755, Betty in 1759, Molly or Mary in 1760, Jude in 1763, Lucy or Luse in 1765, William in 1767 and their youngest child, Issac, was born on May 27, 1771. | Fluker, Owen (I295)
|
| 837 | The Flukers eventually moved their house to what was to become the Carters Grove community where it is known as the Fluker Beazley house because their original homeplace near the cemetery was on low ground and they were frequently afflicted with the ?fever?. The home built by Owen consisted of one large room constructed of crude lumber, hand hewn, with large fireplaces at each end. A large loft served as a sleeping area. The house has been modified through over 200 years but the original portion is still part of the house. In fact, marks of the hand lathe are quite visible both upstairs and down. The original chimneys are still in working condition and provide a cozy spot for family gatherings. The 605 Militia District of Taliaferro County in which the Fluker property was located was known for many years as the Fluker District. | Fluker, Owen (I295)

All of Georgia and most of South Carolina fell to the British in 1780. Elijah Clarke and thirty men passed through the Native American lands to continue the fight in the Carolinas. As a partisan, Clarke led frontier guerrillas in inflicting a heavy toll against the British and American Loyalists at Musgrove's Mill, Cedar Springs, Wofford's Iron Works, Augusta, Fishdam Ford, Long Cane, and Blackstocks. Although he was not present at the battles at King's Mountain and Cowpens, his campaigns were partially responsible for both of those major patriot victories. Besides receiving several battle wounds, Clarke also survived smallpox and the mumps during the Revolution. | Clarke, General Elijah (I278)

| 850 | This time is also off according to Demsey's sequence of events for the Battle of Kettle Creek. "Soon after this applicant returned from the siege of Savannah he was again called on by his Captain (Miller) and marched to McGowns block house against the Tories where Capt. Miller's and Capt. Baskin's companies had an engagement with the Tories, and Capt. Miller was shot through the knee and he and Capt. Baskins taken prisoners by the Tories-this applicant and several others who were in this engagement made their escape without being taken." At Gowen's Old Fort, South Carolina, the Patriot's attacked the Loyalist camp and defeated them. I don't know if Gawen's was remembered as McGowns by Demsey, or not. Year would also be off. | Tyner, Dempsey (I231)
