Line 3:

Flud Mitchell was born 10 Feb 1757 in Brunswick County, [[Virginia]]. We know this by his deposition dated 30 Nov 1832 in Limestone County, [[Alabama]] where he was then living, and from where he applied for a Revolutionary War Pension.

In this application he states that he "...volunteered 12 Jul 1775 and served two years with Col. Thomson and Capt. Purvis". There is a deed dated 14 Feb 1778 from "Flood Mitchell of Granville County, [[South Carolina]]" to John Dugger for 233 acres. Flood states that he next "...enlisted again in 1778 under Capt. Hammond and Capt. Jones and served in an expedition against the Creek Indians."

In this application he states that he "...volunteered 12 Jul 1775 and served two years with Col. Thomson and Capt. Purvis". Another Pension Application [http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/nc/mecklenburg/military/revwar/pensions/buckaloe447gmt.txt here] confirms that Purvis was a Capt in South Carolina. Apparently ([http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~jdowdle/TheDowdleTree/DOWDLEsOfUS/States/SouthCarolina.htm see the bottom of this page), Captain Purvis had a company of ranger within the 3rd South Carolina regiment commanded by Col William Thompson.

On an existing jury list from the Old 96th District, South Carolina for 1778-9 we find the name of Flud Mitchell. Flood states "...After this, I served six months as a volunteer and spy under Capt. Jones and Pulaski, was in the [[http://www.southcarolinahistoricalsociety.org/wire/RevWar/CarolinaDay/ Battle of Sullivan's Island]] (28 Jun 1776) and several with the Indians and Tories. After this campaign I returned to my native Virginia and resided in Brunswick County until the close of the war."
