S. Rifle Reg. for five years, from Aug. 15, 1814. It was so near the close of the war with England that he was not in any battle.

eight other discharged soldiers, fastened two canoes together, with a platform over them, and all left for St. Louis with their knapsacks. Mr. F. says that they were somewhat crowded, and on the way down he stole a canoe, and taking a comrade left the other seven who began drinking and ran their craft on a sawyer, which upset it, and they lost everything except what they had on their persons, but the men clung to the sunken log, and but for the stolen canoe they must all have drowned. Mr. F. and his comrade took them all safely to shore. He has always, in his quaint wav, insisted that that was "providential steal- ing." On arriving at St. Louis, he learned that his uncle, Henry Funderburk, had moved into the San-ga-ma country, and he determined to visit him. He found his uncle on the 3Ist of Aug., IS19, in what is now Cotton Hill township, between Brush and Horse creeks, and went to work to supply himself with clothing, in place of that which was lost on the river.
