The Revolution in Tennessee???
Is this person actually referring to the Civil War being in Tennessee?
Perhaps I’m misinformed, but it simply sounded strange to me that the Revolution was fought in Tennessee.
If the stones were toppled over, why not just stand them up??
If experience is any indicator, they were likely not just “toppled”. They were most likely broken off.
Feral kids, late at night, high and/or drunk, doing karate kicks to break them just for fun.
They need to be repaired not just stood back up.
Looks like you need to read up on “The Battle of King’s Mountain,” and other important battles where sons of Tennessee fought in the revolutionary war.
That they were buried in their home state is a testiment to their courage and success in fighting for our Republic. They achieved victory and died of old age in their home state and were honorably buried.
He fought in the Revolution and then settled in Tennessee after it was over. Consider Davey Crockett, who was born in Tennessee, served as a representative in Washington DC, then moved to Texas, where he fought at the Alamo.
Revolutionary war
Lots of officers got land grants here
And they fought the hell out of the very vicious Indians
A history not taught now
Pssst, read the article, all will be revealed w/o recourse to the Magic Eight Ball!
There was some fighting in what is now eastern Tennessee in the Revolutionary War (I think my Revolutionary ancestor may have been involved in the campaign). But many North Carolina soldiers were given land grants in what is now Tennessee and settled there after the war.
Some of my ancestors received Revolutionary War land grants in Tennessee. That was pretty common. Tennessee and Kentucky had been parts of North Carolina and Virginia and were largely unsettled.
