Notes

Named in his father's will 1791 as Frederick.

Records of the Moravians in NC 3:1268. April 14, 1778, Bethabara. We heard that Friedrich Pynckle [sic], who has been in Pennsylvania with Christian Conrad, has come home ahead to send fresh horses to meet Conrad.

Records of the Moravians in NC 5:2130, Jan. 11, 1786. Near Bethania, a certain Friedrich Binkele arranged a shooting match, and Johannes Conrad took that occasion to display some tin plates which he had not been able to dispose of. This attracted a number of persons from Bethania, who went thither and watched the match. In a called meeting of the house-fathers the matter shall be thoroughly discussed. Those of our communicant members who attended have shut themselves off from the Lord's Supper and other meetings for communicants only.

In the fall or winter of 1775 he marched from the portion of Surry County which later became Stokes to Fayetteville, NC, for the purpose of opposing the Scotch or Tory insurrection. He was in service about 3 months.

In August or September 1776 he entered service as a militia soldier in Capt. Henry Smith's Company and in Col. Joseph Williams' regiment. (Williams was also of Surry County.) He marched across the mountains on an expedition against the hostile Cherokee Indians to the Long Island of the Holstein River where he remained occupied for a few days. They then marched to the Cherokee Towns on the Tennessee River where they destroyed some of the towns and the provisions the Indians had collected. The troops returned home in about three months.

When the British took possession of Savannah, Georgia, he thinks in 1779, he again entered service under Capt. Henry Smith in the regiment commanded by Col. Francis Locke and in General Rutherford's brigade. He marched from his residence in Stokes (then Surry) to the Savannah River and was on this side of the River at the time of the Battle of Briar Creek. He was in service from October 10 to the following April 10. His term of five months was extended one month longer at the request of General Lincoln who desired the North Carolina militia to remain in service until the South Carolina militia should have time to join and reinforce his army.

Frederick again entered the service in September 1780 and marched from his residence in Stokes to Kings Mountain in South Carolina.
