I am the 6th Gr-Grandson of Preston Goforth, Jr. (3 Jun 1739 - 7 Oct 1780). It is my understanding that only Preston fought with the Whigs, and all other Goforths, including Preston's brothers John, Andrew, and William fought for the Loyalist side. John and Preston killed each other simultaneously. Checking my records, William and Andrew survived the battle since they died in 1830 and 1811 respectively.
