Sheila, thank you. I don't know if we had the information for Richard or not but I know we didn't for William. If you come across anything like this, by all means, please post it. Even if it's a duplication, it's always good.
Richard was born in Prince Edward County, Virginia.
William F. seems to have been a Flewellen and is somehow connected to Shadrach. They were both in Robertson County before Carroll County.
I just found this on William F.:
"National Banner and Nashville Daily Advertiser" September 24, 1834.
"Another Revolutionary Patriot Gone! Died, in Carroll county, Tennessee on the 23rd ult, in the 81st year of his age, Captain William Flewellen, a native of Halifax county, North Carolina. Captain Flewellen entered the army of the United States in the Revolutionary War as a volunteer private in the 3rd North Carolina Continental Line, commanded by General Jethro Sumner, was shortly after promoted by the Quarter Master to the rank of wagon master and marched from the county of Halifax with his regiment early in the year 1776. After serving a long and toilsome campaign in the States of South Carolina and Georgia inwhich the army suffered greatly from the unhealthiness of the climate and innumerable hardships that portion of the regiment to which he was attached was marched to Halifax and discharged. He was subsequently elected captain of a volunteer corps of cavalry and was actively engaged in suppressing the Tories in that part of the country until the close of the war. Many years after, he settled in Robertson county, Tennessee from whence he removed to his late place of residence where he lived to an advanced age, feeble and afflicted in the decline of life but honored and respected by all who knew him.
