5.   Andrew Wiley, was another Rockbridge/Botetourt participant at Guilford. In the spring of 1781, he joined Greene's army at Guilford as a member of a Botetourt company. His account of the engagement stated that the Carolina men, who formed the first line, ran at the outset. The riflemen to which Andrew belonged formed the covering party at the left, and when the Carolina men fled, the British came down on a ridge between this party and the command of Colonel Campbell. The enemy were swept off by the Virginia riflemen, but formed again and again, and compelled the party to ground their arms. Captain Tilford was killed.
