At the battles of Harlem Heights, White Plains, Germantown, Monmouth, Staten Island, in the North; at Guildford Court-house, Eutaw, Camden, the capture of Forts Motte, Granby, Wateree and the siege of '96 in the South, he was present and actively engaged and
170

by his coolness, bravery and skill he rendered most signal and important services to the army. At Guildford the desperate charge of the American troops, which turned the scale of victory in their favor, was ordered at his suggestion, which was communicated to Gen. Greene through Major Ander- son and the plan of firing Fort Motte which was successfully adopted, and which occasioned the immediate surrender of the fort by the British, origi- nated exclusively with him. In the disastrous battle of Camden he was present in the fight and was by the side of De Kalb when that brave officer fell. In the siege of Ninety-six the immortal Kosciuszko was his fellow- soldier, and served under him for a while. The noble conduct of this brave Pole was the fond theme of his admiration and praise through life. Entering the army at the commencement of the Revolution he continued in it, en- gaged in active service, until the close of the war. During the contest he made but one visit home. He married early, had sons and daughters, the most of whom he lived to see begirt with glowing infancy. Possessing a heart full of kindness and a temper almost proof against anger, he was respected in all the relations of life. He was born in Frederick County, but for thirty years previous to his death, resided in Alleghany, where he died January 9, 1838, aged 83. Also sacred to the memory of Margaret Lamar, his wife. She was beloved and esteemed by all who knew her for the many virtues that adorned her character. She died universally lamented, March 17, 1821, aged 54 years."
Ninety-six, referred to here, is the name of a Post.

CHAPTER VIII
IN the upper part of Montgomery county, at Beallsville, beneath the shadow of Sugar-Loaf Mountain, is a se- cluded and historic spot, known as the Monocacy cemetery. A chapel of ease of All Saints parish, Frederick county, called the Monocacy chapel, stood here as early as 1747, and the parish church of St. Peter's followed in 1770, when this section fell within the borders of a new parish. Changes took place here as elsewhere. New centers sprang up and another St. Peter's was erected at Poolesville in 1849, after which the old church fell into ruins. The vestry transferred the churchyard to an association that had bought adjoining land. The latter received its charter in 1872, as "The Monocacy Cemetery Society of Montgomery County."
During the Revolutionary war, prayers for peace were offered in the old Monocacy chapel, and the churchyard became a camping ground for the American forces during the war of 1812.
The earliest gravestone bears the date 1748, but the name is lost. Another fragmentary inscription is to one who de- parted this life " the 52 year," in 1752. The others follow:
Revd. T. Dade, Obt. 6th F. 1822, Æt. 80 yrs.
Erected in Memory of John Douglass of Castle Steuard, Wigtonshire Scotland, who died here Nov 2. 1832, Aged 36 years.
In Memory of Mary, Born January 22nd 1815, and of Anastatia, Born March 29th 1831, Daughters of John and Mary Cross, who together de- parted this life August 8th 1855.
When ardent glowed the Summer skies
Mid burning heat and sultry weather
Death came to them in friendly guise And smote them in his love together. In Union thus they lived and died And here lie buried side by side.
