A EXCERPT FROM JOHN FIELDS REVOLUTION PENSION
Col. Sevier was dispatched
to the settlements for the protection of the immigrants, that they moved from
one place to another and in building block houses and forts. That they built
(?) Shelby's Fort and Bledsoes (?) Fort. That the enemy consisted of Indians,
Tories and fragments of Ferguson's army. That there was a certain general as
he called himself that the settlers despised more than any other. He was a
half-blood white and Indian and was called by the name of General Binge and
that this is the same person who took Elizabeth Livingston, wife of Peter
Livingston and after {?} taken to little Stony Gap. After the skirmish with
Binge and the Butcher soldiers at Chicamago(?) there was recruits sent out
for more men attached to col Sevier as we learned there was a great many of
his men killed.
