McCRORY, JAMES. "James McCrory is buried
in a cemetery at 'Old Bethany Church'
(Primitive Baptist), near the town of
Vienna in Pickens County. The following
inscription is on his tombstone :
In Memory of
JAMES M'CRORY.
Died Nov. 24th, 1840, aged 82 years,
6 mo. and 9 days.
Deceased was a soldier of the Revolution
and was at the
battles of Germantown, Brandywine and
Guilford
Courthouse, and was one of Washington's
life-
guard at Valley Forge and served his coun
try faithfully during the war.
Peace to the soldiers' dust.
"The following account of him is copied
from the Tuscaloosa Flag of the Union,
December, 1840:
" 'James McCrory was born May 15, 1758,
at Larga, on the river Bann, in the
county of Antrim, Ireland. He sailed from
Belfast in 1775 when he was 17 years old
and landed at Baltimore July 1st, in the
same year. In 1776 he settled in Guilford
County, N. C., and enlisted in the
Continental army in the same year. He was
at the battle of Brandywine, September
11, 1777, under General Washing-ton at
the battle of Germantown, and wintered at
Valley Forge in 1777-78. Subsequently he
fought under General Greene at Guilford
Court House, March 15, 1781, was in the
battle of Eutaw Springs, and in the
battle of Stono. He was with General
Gates at his defeat at Camden and with
General Morgan in the glorious victory at
the Cowpens. For courage, good service
and meritorious conduct he was promoted
to the rank of ensign in the Life Guard
of General Washington, and while acting
in this capacity, he was taken prisoner
and confined on board a prison ship for
six months. He came to Alabama while it
was yet a territory, and made his home at
Tuscaloosa for the last twenty-five years
of his life. This true patriot died
November 24, 1840, at the age of
eighty-two.'
"There is a list of North Carolina
Continental 'troops published in the N.
C. Historical and Genealogical Register,
on p. 424 of which we find the name of
James McCrory, ensign in the Ninth
regiment, under Col. John P. Williams,
May 2, 1777. Thomas McCrory was a captain
in the same regiment. The services of
James McCrory are also stated in the
proceedings of the 27th Congress, 2d
Session, in the Senate, February 4th,
1842, report of the Committee on
Revolutionary Claims :
" 'James McCrory was a sergeant in Capt.
Cook's company of the 9th regiment,
enlisted on the 15th day of April, 1776,
for the term of three years; on the 2d
day of May, 1777, he was promoted to the
rank of ensign. In January 1778, the nine
regiments which composed the line, being
reduced - to three, the supernumerary
officers were sent home, of which he was
one. He then joined the nine months' men
and marched to the south and was at the
battle of Stono, the 30th of June, 1779,
and was at Gates' defeat in August, 1780,
and was taken prisoner on the 24th of
February, 1781, by Tarleton's dragoons
and was kept prisoner four months at
Wilmington and then paroled; and in
November, 1782, he took prisoner Colonel
Bryant, a British officer, and gave him
up to a regular officer of the American
army.'
"In spite of this array of gallant
services the committee re-ported
adversely because of some technicality;
but as the old hero had then been dead
two years he was probably not very deeply
affected or disappointed by the
decision."-Mrs. P. H. Mell in
Transactions of the Alabama Historical
Society, Vol. iv, pp. 554-556.

account is extracted from the Southern
Advocate, Huntsville, Jan. 27, 1835.
"JACKSON COUNTY, ALA., JAN. 19, 1835.
"It is our unhappy lot to announce that
another Revolutionary Hero has gone! COL.
JoHN McCUTCHEN, who, in 'the times that
tried men's souls,' stood boldly forth in
defense of the liberty and independence
of his country, bidding defiance not only
to oppression, but confronting the armed
myrmidons of. the Tyrant, was on the 17th
(inst.) in the eightieth year of his age,
summoned to 'another and a better world.'
"He engaged early in the Revolutionary
conflict, was at the defense of Fort
Moultrie, the battle at Eutaw Springs,
and with a true patriotic zeal
participated in all the perils and
distress that so peculiarly characterized
the unfeeling warfare, then waged
throughout the Carolinas; nor did he
retire until be had the satisfaction of
beholding the independence of his
country, for which he had so long and
ardently struggled, permanently secured.
"Having devoted his youth to the service
of his country in the field, in the
maturity of manhood he engaged with those
fearless and enterprising pioneers, who
emigrating to the West, embarked in the
arduous undertaking of reclaiming the
fertile valley of the Tennessee from its
then savage wilderness, and preparing it
for the enjoyment of all the arts,
luxuries and refinements of social life.
"He has ever been noted as a man of
uncommon intellectual endowments-for the
last forty years has been a professor of
Christianity of the Baptist order, and
been esteemed by all as a worthy example
and an honor to his profession. Thus ripe
in years and rich in the consciousness of
having at two different periods of his
life, rendered important services to his
country, and in the consoling hopes of a
glorious immortality, the veteran has
departed, leaving his relatives and
numerous friends to mourn his loss.
"On Monday the 19th inst., as the
citizens of this vicinity had convened to
pay the last honors to the deceased, on
motion of Maj. John B. Stevens, they
constituted themselves into a meeting,
for the purpose of making a public
manifestation of their grief, to
acknowledge the services, and express the
high regard they have ever entertained
for the principles of their departed
friend. Col. James Smith was called to
the chair and Maj. John B. Stevens
appointed secretary-when the followings
resolutions were unanimously adopted, viz
:
"Resolved, That, under a deep sense of
the gratitude we owe to those sages and
heroes who achieved our independence, we
deem it a duty incumbent upon us, their
sons, with a filial piety to pay every
tribute of respect to their virtues and
their valor, as the only remuneration in
our power, for the manifold rights and
privileges that we now enjoy.
"Resolved, That in the death of Col. John
McCutchen, we have to lament the loss of
one of that band of aged warriors, whose
presence never fails to enliven our zeal
in the cause of liberty and to remind us
what it cost that in him we have lost a
firm patriot, a worthy citizen, a pious
Christian and an esteemed friend. And
while we respectfully acknowledge his
public services, stern integrity and
private worth, we deeply sympathize with
his widow and other members of his family
in their bereavement.
"Resolved, That the above resolutions be
signed by the Chairman and Secretary, and
transmitted to the Democrat and Southern
Advocate for publication.
"JAMES SMITH, Chairman." "JOHN B.
STEVEN'S, Secretary."

Pacific ocean.
