James Dysart lived in Chester County, Pennsylvania in 1749. His son John stated in court in an application for a Revolutionary War pension that he was born there on December 25, 1749. This was recorded in James Dysart’s Bible. [1]

In 1831, James Dysart's son John stated in an application for a Revolutionary War pension that he was in the battle of Cowan’s Ford on February 1, 1781, where his father, James Dysart, and his brother, William Dysart, were killed.[2]

The men killed in that battle are believed to have been buried at night in a mass grave at the Hopewell Presbyterian Church, in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. There is a marker to the memory of James and William in the Pine Log United Methodist Church Cemetery in Rydal, Bartow County, Georgia.
