It is said that my 8th great grandfather Thomas CAMP III had a combined total of 8 sons and grandsons who fought at The Battle of Cowpens on January 17, 1781. Stephen Camp was born @ 1771 in Rutherford NC. Stephen accompanied his older brothers to the Cowpens on the day of the battle, he was only 10 or 11 years of age.

Stephen was too young to fight, so he was put in charge of holding his brother's horses during the fighting. I have read that during the battle, some soldiers would jump off their horses, run into the woods and shoot at the enemy. They would then run back to their horses, reload, and then move to a different firing location. While assisting his brothers,Stephen Camp was shot! He suffered with a disability due to this wound for the next 75 years of his life. He passed away in 1846.
