An attempt at cross-referencing/sourcing those who fought in the Battle of Boyd's Creek on December 16, 1780.

This was the only "battle" of the Revolutionary War to be fought in that part of land that became Tennessee.

Shortly following the Battle of King's Mountain in October of 1780 and preceding Campbell and Sevier's Middle Settlements expedition of 1781.

In theory, may clarify Overmountain Men and Washington District/County NC/TN Militia.

The Cherokee opponents also need context.

Col. John SEVIER put himself at the head of about one hundred men, principally of Captain RUSSELL'S and Captain GUESS'S companies,

Sevier led 170 men (including Capt. Pruett's soldiers, of whom Private Reuben Riggs was one),

Capt. George Russell and his company on a forced march soon after the battle of King's Mountain

Capt. James Pearce, who fought at both King's Mountain and Boyd's Creek,

Before day, Captain PRUETT reinforced him after a rapid march, with about seventy men.
