Information taken from South Carolina Roster page 867- John Singleton-W9652 d. 1 June 1824 m. Elizabeth ___________, 17 October 1789 He enlisted, while residing in Sumter District, under Capt. Joseph Hill, Col. RIcharson and Gen. Marion. He was at the taking of Fort Motte and the battle at Eutaw Springs. He was also in the skirmishes at Monck’s Corner and Fidderman’s Lane and in the battle at Quinby Bridge. At one time, he was under Col. Horry. DAR application paperwork list John Singleton of Camden District, South Carolina list John as a PVT from South Carolina- My ancestor’s services during the Revolutionary War were as follows: “He enlisted while residing in Sumter under Captian Joseph Hill, Colonel Richard Richardson, and General Marion. He was at the taking of Fort Motte and Battle of Eutaw Springs. He was also in the skirmishes at Moncks Corner and Fidderman’s Lane and in the Battle of Quimby Bridge. At one time, he was under Colonel Horry.” After the Battle of Lexington, April 18, 1775, Robert Singleton (born 1724), Col. Matthew Singleton (born 1730), Capt. John Singleton (Col. Matthew Singleton's son born 1754), Joseph Singleton (son of Robert Singleton born 1724), and John Singleton (another son of Robert Singleton born 1724) signed the SC District Eastward of Wateree "Declaration of Independence.” John Singleton, presumably a son of Robert Singleton who removed from VA to Sumter, SC, asks by name after the sons of Daniel Singleton of Orange Co., VA, in a letter concerning his Revolutionary service and that of Daniel's sons, who removed to Kentucky: Bureau of Pensions 2 Feb. 1928 to H. L. Singleton, 531 Broyles St., SE, Atlanta. The name John Singleton appears twice in the Revolutionary War records of this Bureau. One John Singleton (R9613) of Gloucester Co. later Matthews County, Virginia served in the Virginia troops married Ann Armistead and died in 1826 leaving her a widow and in 1838 she was living in Matthews. The other John Singleton (W9652) was of Sumter District, SC served in the troops of that state married Elizabeth [blank] and died June 1824 in Letter 1824 requesting information on brothers Edmund and Manoah Singleton sons of David Singleton of Orange. Both brothers were recorded as Va. soldiers in Va. Library report of 1911 or 1912. They went from Va. to Kentucky and as residents of Kentucky filed suit in 1806 to recover land in Virginia willed them by their father Daniel Singleton. (From Mrs. Edwin T. Jones, Dallas, Texas). (I don’t understand the last six lines- jkh) Some information on John Singleton was given to me by Bobby Thigpen of Florence, SC on May 18, 2000. It was mostly information as they married into the Brunson family. [6, 7, 8] | |
