He joined the company of a Captain Benjamin Wafford [sic, Benjamin Wofford] as a volunteer to drive back the Cherokee Indians, who, headed and led by the Tories had invaded the Country to within about 20 miles of where he then lived. He went on under Captain Wofford and joined the Army of General Williamson [Andrew Williamson] at an Indian Town by the name of Seneca among the Saluda Mountains on the Western part of South Carolina. He thinks General Williamson was an officer of the regular Army. That the troops under Williamson were few and were considered to be insufficient to drive back the Indians and that Williamson made a call on the militia of the State and that he volunteered under that call as one of the militia to go to his support. That while he was with the Army of Williamson at Seneca he was sent out with about 30 or 40 others among whom was Colonel Thomas Brannon [sic, Thomas Brandon], to join a party who had been sent out to attack some Indians in an Indian Town by the name of Easterloe or Quall hatche, that they met the party who had gone out to said town on their return to the Army. They then returned to the Army of Williamson at Seneca. That while he was there Captain Wofford was taken sick and he with others was sent back home with Captain Wofford and then discharged. That he was out this time three weeks as near as he can now remember. That Thomas Brandon went up at some time, he thinks he was his Colonel. That Richard Buyers, Jesse Dod, Samuel Bishop, James Benson, Henry Hampton, John Easley — all went up at the same time he did out of the same neighborhood
