NC Loyalists in RW
September 13, 1781 – Colonel David Fanning is wounded at Lindsey's Mill on Cane Creek near the Alamance-Chatham line. He is shot in the left arm and the musket ball "broke the bone in several pieces". Captain John Rains commands the troop which delivers the Governor to the British near Wilmington. DSR Note: The governor was the first elected NC governor. Until then the governors had been appointed by the royal governor. The man was governor Burke.
