Welcome to new members, Dr Randal Mark Glenn and Robert Clark Rhodes II.

on March 18, 2025

Dr Randal Glenn's patriot is David Norman.

David Norman served as a private under Colonel Thomas Brandon in 1780 in a Company from Union County S.C.    Colonel Brandon was commander of the 2nd Spartan Regiment of Militia.  Colonel Brandon's forces were attacked on either June 10, 1780, or July 12, 1780 by Loyalist forces.  The Battle is known as "Brandon's Defeat."  

Learn more about this Battle and the Patriots who served in South Carolina when I work on the story of South Carolina in the Revolution at a later date.


Robert Rhodes II's patriot is Mark Russell.

Unfortunately, I am unable to give more at this time due to his Patriot being Unindexed in the SAR Database.  However, there are 23 Russel/Russell patriot pension records available.  So, time will tell if he can be found by an alternate method.

p.s.  DAR A098499 Record shows that patriot Mark Russell provided Material Aid in North Carolina.  Also lists him as a soldier, but gives no details.
