    On October 7, 1780 the foundation that would forever change the world was established. Fewer than one thousand American Heroes, through skill, luck, and the leadership of cunning strategists, defeated Patrick Ferguson, a brilliant star of the British military might. Five members of the Vance family were among those Heroes. Members of their extended family added to those Heroes.

    Their participation in the Battle of King's Mountain was documented in the "The Patriots at Kings Mountain" by Bobby Gilmer Moss which, along with "King's Mountain And Its Heroes: History Of The Battle Of King's Mountain, October 7th, 1780, And The Events Which Led To It" by Lyman Copeland Draper, Anthony Allaire, and Isaac Shelby, has long been recognized as the definitive listing of the participants. From the Roster:


    •Vance, David, Captain

    •Vance, James

    •Vance, John, Lieutenant

    •Vance, Samuel

    •Vance, John

    and members of the extended family:

    •Colvill, Joseph

    •Colville, Andrew, Captain

    •Colville, Samuel (w)
