Jon--I am no military historian as you well know. If you have any names of the 281men you might check them against the pension claims filed. There is a great web site at revwarapps.org/ that has mounted thousands of these with typescripts of the applications. I did look for George Waller but came up with a blank for him. Good luck--Mick On Apr 29, 2015, at 10:51 AM, Jon Kukla wrote: > On March 11, 1781, responding to an invitation from Nathanael Greene and > recruiting efforts by Patrick Henry, 281 militiamen from Henry County > commanded by Major George Waller marched south to confront Cornwallis at > the battle of Guilford Courthouse on March 15th. > > Approximately 2,000 volunteers from adjacent counties did as well. > > Presumably these volunteers did not follow Greene into South Carolina that > spring.
