I had ancestors involved in the militia fighting in South Carolina, including the John Carroll mentioned in this piece:

I’m a Carroll descendant myself through my paternal grandmother. Do you know the origin of your Carroll line? Mine came down from Maryland but no record indicating that they were ever Catholic, reference being to the Carrolls of Carrollton.

We’d go to Greenwood to chase girls

Surveyed the battlefield a lot for fun

Thanks muchly for twinging my memory with Huck’s defeat. Love American history and wish it were really taught in schools. Kids today know nothing about our patriots. Have you tracked down the details of your ancestors’ participation? Might make an interesting book.
