I had relatives there and I want to know what they went through. I know that Reese Bowen died there. I am interested in knowing if his name is on the plaque. Reese was a Point Pleasant and I have read that someone told him to "get behind a tree". Reese replied (over confident) "I was at Point Pleasant" at that moment he was struck and died. His brother, who Reese substituted for that day d/t illness, rushed to find Reese and was struck. He later died from an infection. Reese was related through my Gillespie family by marriage. Gillespie was with the Va militia as a calvary rifleman but he returned home. His line lives on. Our Frontier families went through hell to settle this country. Please don't squander their blood by abusing the "Constitution". Stand up for the true America. Live proud and tall that the Scot-Irish backwoods men were good and strong and fought for you with their longrifles and spilled their blood that we could live free. Proud to be a descendant and proud to be an American. This was the best accounting of the Battle of Kings Mountain that I have been able to find.

There are a few blips here and there on the internet, but I would like to know, when (I think MASS formed), where did they fight and were they eventually absorbed into the Continental army. Thanks.

Congress instituted the Continental Army. There are a few blips

eventually absorbed into the Continental army.

Thanks.
