most of her husband’s services was performed after the marriage: That a
circumstance she well recollects was that when the guns were firing in the
battle at Kings Mountain she was at her father in law's house Mr. Charles
Copeland, in York District South Carolina, about three miles from
Broad River, and that one of her husband’s brothers had this Declarant’s second
child in his arms in the yard and called this Declarant to come and hear the
guns.
