Greetings,
I would like to add the name of Ambrose Lewis, who served in the Revolutionary War out of Fredericksburg.  He was a Free Black, and served as a Seamen, and in the Colonial Forces. He fought at the Battle of Camden SC, and was wounded nine times. After the war he was granted a pension for the injuries her received at the Battle of Camden.
