This applicant states that the Regiment to which he belonged served mostly as a guard to the frontiers, until early in the month of September 1780, at which time they were marched to King's Mountain in the State of South Carolina, with a view to assist in dislodging the enemy there stationed under the Command of Colonel Ferguson [sic, Major Patrick Ferguson], but, who did not arrive there until the day after the Battle had been fought.

"The Overmountain Men were colonists who defied King George's 1763 proclamation that English settlers must stay east of the mountains. Sixteen families settled in Sycamore Shoals, Tennessee, negotiated the Transylvania Purchase—a 20-million-acre real estate deal with the Cherokee—and established the first democratic government on this continent in 1772. (Not all Cherokees agreed to the deal; Chief Dragging Canoe besieged Fort Watauga, the first of many conflicts that didn't end until the forced removal of the Cherokee in 1838. During the siege, John Sevier—-nicknamed Nolichucky Jack—saved a young woman named Bonny Kate by pulling her over the fort wall; they later married.) On September 7, 1780, during the Revolutionary War, a troop of Overmountain Men led by John Sevier passed through this gap on their way from Sycamore Shoals, Tennessee, to King's Mountain, South Carolina. They defeated the southern flank of the British Army under Colonel Ferguson, freeing the south from British domination and allowing General Washington to focus his attention on the North."
