Kings Mountain

People whose families have been in the South long enough that James Oglethorpe was their parole officer almost uniformly claim two things: A Cherokee princess somewhere in their family tree, and an ancestor who fought at Kings Mountain.

I am the only descendant of a Carolina RevWar veteran who was NOT at King's Mountain.

William Freeman was likely: drunkenly fistfighting a bear, humping gear somewhere in the Low Country, tending to one of his 119 kids.@TamSlick https://t.co/Ci2pgz2Eo2 pic.twitter.com/cRix22OGwW
