At the battle of Guilford Courthouse, Francisco was severely wounded and left for dead on the battlefield, but was later rescued by a Quaker who took him to his house and nursed him for eight weeks, until Francisco was able to join his troops again.

What a story! I've never heard of him, and he recuperated in Bethlehem, PA, which is near me.
