As a descendant of James Few, who was executed on May 16 (or 17), 1771, almost immediately following the Battle, to appease the militia, I would love to hear more of his story, that of his brother, William (a self-taught lawyer who became a senator of GA and a signer of the Constitution), his wife (and alleged affair with, or affections bestowed upon by, Col. Fannin, and remarriage to a Tory), and what became of his infant children and property. I notice he barely receives a mention, if at all, although I find it intriguing and really want to know more.
Terrific video. Loved having you read the saucy comments of the court cases from that day.
Awesome video! 6th Great-Grandson of Benjamin Merrill and multiple early Rowan County/central colonial NC settlers.
Well howdy cousin, I am his 6th generation granddaughter!

Good vid. Harmon Cox is my 5th GG. One of 6 pardoned and spared from hanging as I understand.
