        JOHN S. FAGAN</line><line /><line>New Society member, Jonathan Fagan, has submitted the following information about a heretofore undocumented Revolutionary War Soldier associated with Rutherford Co.</line><line /><line>************************</line><line /><line>Recently, while looking through a listing of Revolutionary War soldiers of Rutherford County, I was dismayed to find that my gr-gr-gr-gr-Grandfather, John S. Fagan, an early settler of the Milton area, was not included. l suspect this is due to the fact that John was buried in Curlee Church of Christ Cemetery in 1820, and this historic cemetery later became located in Cannon County along with a tiny slice of Northeast Rutherford in 1836. I hope the following sheds some light on the life of my ancestor, one of the earliest settlers of the Milton community.</line><line /><line>John S. Fagan was born 1760 in Brunswick County, Virginia, one of several children of Edward Fagan, a member of the House of Burgesses. John was a Private in Captain William Johnston's company of the Eleventh Virginia Regiment of Foot from early 1777 until late 1780 and served at the Battle of King's Mount, So. Carolina on 7 October 1780 in which the British forces under General Cornwallis were stopped from taking over the South. Until that time the British Army in the South had prevailed easily against the Continental forces and enjoyed free reign of virtually every Southern colony. Cornwallis invaded No. Carolina on 9 September 1780 and reached Charlotte on 26 September, convinced that Georgia and So. Carolina were under British control. Major Patrick Ferguson followed and established a base camp at Gilbertown and issued a challenge to the Patriot leaders to lay down their arms or he would, “Lay waste to their country with fire and sword.” But the tough-talking words only outraged the Appalachian frontiersmen, who decided to bring the battle to Ferguson rather than wait for him to come to them. In a decisive battle, Frontier militia ovenrvhelmed the loyalist militia led by Ferguson. In The Vl/inning of the West, Theodore Roosevelt wrote of Kings Mountain, “This brilliant victory marked the turning point of the American Revolution.” Also, Jim Webb, newly elected Senator of Virginia, wrote a stimulating account of this battle in his recent book Bom Fighting - How the Scots-Irish Shaped America, a highly-suggested read.</line><line /><line>John was wounded during this battle, as is stated in the following transcription of his official military service record:</line><line /><line>“lt is shown by the records that one John Fegan (also born as Fagan) served as a private in Captain William Johnston's Company in the 11"‘ Virginia Regiment of Foot, commanded by Colonel Daniel Morgan, Revolutionary War. He is reported as having been enlisted January 2, 1777, for the war, and on the muster rolls of his company for the months of September, October and November 1777, he is reported ‘Wounded and in Camp.’ The designation of the regiment was changed May, 1778, to the 11"‘ and 15"‘ Virginia Regiment, and about September 1778, to the 7"‘ Virginia Regiment. The name of this soldier last appears on a roll for the month of November, 1779, dated at camp near Morristown, December 9, 1779. Neither the date nor the manner of the termination of his service has been found of record. (By Authority of the Secretary of War)" [Notez This record was originally listed in the War Department by order of the Secretary of War, now known as the Department of Defense and headed by the Secretary of Defense, and is still filed and available through that institution.]</line><line /><line>John’s name does not appear on either of the monuments erected in the National Military Park at Kings Mountain. However, a list of the participants in the battle, prepared by Mr. Roger Young, historian, contains the name of John Fagan (Authority: Oswald E. Camp, Superintendent Kings Mountain National Military Park). Also, on the government roster of 900 soldiers who fought in the battle of Kings Mountain, October 7, 1780, his name appears. In “Ramsey's Annals of Tennessee," p. 241, the following mention of him is made:
        “Of the wounded in Colonel Shelby’s regiment was his brother, Moses Shelby and John Fagan, who in a bold attempt to storm the enemy’s breast-works, jumped upon one of the wagons out of which the breast-works were formed and was wounded. Shelby’s men, 240 of them, were recruited mostly from Sullivan County, now in Tennessee on the Virginia line.”</line><line /><line>In Nashville on the West Terrace of the Courthouse, there is a monument erected “To the Heroes of 1776." It is about 10X12 feet high and proportionately broad at the base with a figure in bronze, not of any person, but an ideal figure. It is inscribed thus:</line><line /><line>To the Heroes of 1776</line><line /><line>Not dead but living in deeds such lives inspire</line><line /><line>Erected by Tennessee Daughters of the</line><line /><line>American Revolution,</line><line /><line>February 22, 1910</line><line /><line>On the opposite side toward the Courthouse there is a large bronze plate on which are engraved the names of 380 men, among which is that of “John S. Fagan.”</line><line /><line /><line>After the war, John made his home in Sullivan County, which was then No. Carolina and is now Tennessee, where he married Martha Lanier, daughter of Lemuel and Lucy Malone Lanier, both of whom were among a handful of original settlers of the Milton community in northeastern Rutherford County. The former Poet Laureate of Georgia for which Lake Lanier is named, Sidney Clopton Lanier, was a direct descendent of ,~Lemuel Lanier. John S. Fagan represented Sullivan County n the 8"‘ Tennessee General Assembly from 1809-1811 and migrated to Rutherford County in 1813, for in that year a deed to fifty acres of land, lying on the East Fork of Stones River was made to him by Solomon Wren for the sum of $200. This land was near the community of Milton. To John and Martha were born five children. l am descended from his youngest son, Henry Williamson Fagan, who came to operate a blacksmith‘s shop on the town square in Milton and was one of the first postmasters of the Milton Post Office. John's oldest son, Robert, owned several farms in Rutherford and Cannon Counties and was a veteran of the War of 1812, serving in every major engagement of Andrew Jackson's campaign for New Orleans and returning to Tennessee with Jackson's men by way of the Natchez Trace. A Fagan Dairy Farm remains in operation to this day in Cannon County, and many of Robert's descendants still live in or near Woodbury.</line><line /><line>John S. Fagan's will was written December 17, 1819, and was probated March 1820 at Murfreesboro, Rutherford Co., TN, and the original document is available at the Rutherford County Archive. He gave property to his beloved wife, Martha Fagan, and his five children, [Robert Lanier Fagan, John Sandford Fagan, Henry Williamson Fagan, Sally Jones Fagan Reed, Polly Kelly Fagan Reed], making his son, Robert Lanier Fagan, and Lemuel Reed, son-in-law, executors. He was buried in the Curlee Church of Christ Graveyard near Bradyville which now lies in Cannon County.</line><line /><line />

FAGAN</line><line /><line>New Society member, Jonathan Fagan, has submitted the following information about a heretofore undocumented Revolutionary War Soldier associated with Rutherford Co.</line><line /><line>************************</line><line /><line>Recently, while looking through a listing of Revolutionary War soldiers of Rutherford County, I was dismayed to find that my gr-gr-gr-gr-Grandfather, John S. Fagan, an early settler of the Milton area, was not included. l suspect this is due to the fact that John was buried in Curlee Church of Christ Cemetery in 1820, and this historic cemetery later became located in Cannon County along with a tiny slice of Northeast Rutherford in 1836. I hope the following sheds some light on the life of my ancestor, one of the earliest settlers of the Milton community.</line><line /><line>John S. Fagan was born 1760 in Brunswick County, Virginia, one of several children of Edward Fagan, a member of the House of Burgesses. John was a Private in Captain William Johnston's company of the Eleventh Virginia Regiment of Foot from early 1777 until late 1780 and served at the Battle of King's Mount, So. Carolina on 7 October 1780 in which the British forces under General Cornwallis were stopped from taking over the South. Until that time the British Army in the South had prevailed easily against the Continental forces and enjoyed free reign of virtually every Southern colony. Cornwallis invaded No. Carolina on 9 September 1780 and reached Charlotte on 26 September, convinced that Georgia and So. Carolina were under British control. Major Patrick Ferguson followed and established a base camp at Gilbertown and issued a challenge to the Patriot leaders to lay down their arms or he would, “Lay waste to their country with fire and sword.” But the tough-talking words only outraged the Appalachian frontiersmen, who decided to bring the battle to Ferguson rather than wait for him to come to them. In a decisive battle, Frontier militia ovenrvhelmed the loyalist militia led by Ferguson. In The Vl/inning of the West, Theodore Roosevelt wrote of Kings Mountain, “This brilliant victory marked the turning point of the American Revolution.” Also, Jim Webb, newly elected Senator of Virginia, wrote a stimulating account of this battle in his recent book Bom Fighting - How the Scots-Irish Shaped America, a highly-suggested read.</line><line /><line>John was wounded during this battle, as is stated in the following transcription of his official military service record:</line><line /><line>“lt is shown by the records that one John Fegan (also born as Fagan) served as a private in Captain William Johnston's Company in the 11"‘ Virginia Regiment of Foot, commanded by Colonel Daniel Morgan, Revolutionary War. He is reported as having been enlisted January 2, 1777, for the war, and on the muster rolls of his company for the months of September, October and November 1777, he is reported ‘Wounded and in Camp.’ The designation of the regiment was changed May, 1778, to the 11"‘ and 15"‘ Virginia Regiment, and about September 1778, to the 7"‘ Virginia Regiment. The name of this soldier last appears on a roll for the month of November, 1779, dated at camp near Morristown, December 9, 1779. Neither the date nor the manner of the termination of his service has been found of record. (By Authority of the Secretary of War)" [Notez This record was originally listed in the War Department by order of the Secretary of War, now known as the Department of Defense and headed by the Secretary of Defense, and is still filed and available through that institution.]</line><line /><line>John’s name does not appear on either of the monuments erected in the National Military Park at Kings Mountain. However, a list of the participants in the battle, prepared by Mr. Roger Young, historian, contains the name of John Fagan (Authority: Oswald E. Camp, Superintendent Kings Mountain National Military Park). Also, on the government roster of 900 soldiers who fought in the battle of Kings Mountain, October 7, 1780, his name appears. In “Ramsey's Annals of Tennessee," p. 241, the following mention of him is made:
        “Of the wounded in Colonel Shelby’s regiment was his brother, Moses Shelby and John Fagan, who in a bold attempt to storm the enemy’s breast-works, jumped upon one of the wagons out of which the breast-works were formed and was wounded. Shelby’s men, 240 of them, were recruited mostly from Sullivan County, now in Tennessee on the Virginia line.”</line><line /><line>In Nashville on the West Terrace of the Courthouse, there is a monument erected “To the Heroes of 1776." It is about 10X12 feet high and proportionately broad at the base with a figure in bronze, not of any person, but an ideal figure. It is inscribed thus:</line><line /><line>To the Heroes of 1776</line><line /><line>Not dead but living in deeds such lives inspire</line><line /><line>Erected by Tennessee Daughters of the</line><line /><line>American Revolution,</line><line /><line>February 22, 1910</line><line /><line>On the opposite side toward the Courthouse there is a large bronze plate on which are engraved the names of 380 men, among which is that of “John S. Fagan.”</line><line /><line /><line>After the war, John made his home in Sullivan County, which was then No. Carolina and is now Tennessee, where he married Martha Lanier, daughter of Lemuel and Lucy Malone Lanier, both of whom were among a handful of original settlers of the Milton community in northeastern Rutherford County. The former Poet Laureate of Georgia for which Lake Lanier is named, Sidney Clopton Lanier, was a direct descendent of ,~Lemuel Lanier. John S. Fagan represented Sullivan County n the 8"‘ Tennessee General Assembly from 1809-1811 and migrated to Rutherford County in 1813, for in that year a deed to fifty acres of land, lying on the East Fork of Stones River was made to him by Solomon Wren for the sum of $200. This land was near the community of Milton. To John and Martha were born five children. l am descended from his youngest son, Henry Williamson Fagan, who came to operate a blacksmith‘s shop on the town square in Milton and was one of the first postmasters of the Milton Post Office. John's oldest son, Robert, owned several farms in Rutherford and Cannon Counties and was a veteran of the War of 1812, serving in every major engagement of Andrew Jackson's campaign for New Orleans and returning to Tennessee with Jackson's men by way of the Natchez Trace. A Fagan Dairy Farm remains in operation to this day in Cannon County, and many of Robert's descendants still live in or near Woodbury.</line><line /><line>John S. Fagan's will was written December 17, 1819, and was probated March 1820 at Murfreesboro, Rutherford Co., TN, and the original document is available at the Rutherford County Archive. He gave property to his beloved wife, Martha Fagan, and his five children, [Robert Lanier Fagan, John Sandford Fagan, Henry Williamson Fagan, Sally Jones Fagan Reed, Polly Kelly Fagan Reed], making his son, Robert Lanier Fagan, and Lemuel Reed, son-in-law, executors. He was buried in the Curlee Church of Christ Graveyard near Bradyville which now lies in Cannon County.</line><line /><line />
