Biography
Fife Major William Lipscomb Jr. served with 8th Virginia Regiment (1777), Continental Army during the American Revolution.
William Lipscomb Jr. is a DAR Patriot Ancestor, A069715.
William Lipscomb Jr. was born on 12 Feb 1756 in Louisa County, Virginia.[1] He was a son of William Lipscomb Sr. and Virginia Elizabeth (Smith) Lipscomb.[2]
During the American Revolution, he served as a Fife Major in the 4th, 8th, and 12th combined regiment commanded by Colonel James Wood.[3][1][4]
After the end of the Revolutionary War, he moved with his father's family to South Carolina, where they settled near Thickety Creek, (present-day Spartanburg).[2] He appointed his friend Thomas Lipscomb, of Spotsylvania, Virginia, as his power of attorney to sell his lands in Louisa County, Virginia.[5]
It is likely that William brought his bride, Elizabeth Ragland Hall[1] from Virginia to South Carolina. William and Elizabeth had several children, among them:[6]
- Nancy (1786-1842)
- William S. (1791-1810)
- John Hall (1796-1858)
- Elizabeth (1802-1860)
- Sarah H., m. John Lipscomb[1]
William Lipscomb Jr. passed away on 17 Nov 1802 in Spartanburg District, South Carolina.[1] He lies buried at William the Elder Lipscomb Family Cemetery, Cherokee County, South Carolina.[7]
