Notes:

Died:
Date: January 17, 1781
Location: Cowpens, South Carolina
Commanders: Continental Brig. General Daniel Morgan defeated British Lt. Colonel Bonastre Tarleton
New Southern Commander Maj. General Nathanael Greene determined that he needed time to rehabilitate his army. He decided to split his force and assigned command of the more mobile force to Brig. General Daniel Morgan. British Lt. General Charles Cornwallis recognized the strategy and sent his own mobile force under Lt. Colonel Banastre Tarleton after Morgan.
After several weeks of maneuvering, General Morgan finally had to choose his ground before Lt. Colonel Tarleton overran him. He settled on Cowpens, South Carolina. He counted on British expectations of a militia retreat as it had at Camden, so that when Andrew Pickens' militia withdrew as planned, the British became undisciplined and broke ranks. This loss of discipline allowed the ordered actions of the Continentals to thoroughly rout the British and destroy General Cornwallis' light troops.

Notes:

It is believed that John Corder who was born in Brown Run (present day Fauquier County, Virginia) could have been another son of William & Alice Corder. No proof has been found to date to support this.
This particular John Corder had at least 2 sons. John and James Corder. James married a woman by the name of Mary Felkins 27.May.1797 in Fauquier County, Virginia and died prior to 31.Jul.1835 because his brother John Corder filed for claim for being sole heir of James Corder who became ill.

Notes:

Name:
Some people have continued to use the surname of DUNLIN for this woman. This is purely incorrect and unproven, yet alone made up by someone who was paid to do research and made a mistake. Since then individuals continue to use an unproven surname for this woman. I wish everyone to stop using DUNLIN as her surname! If you can't prove it, don't use it!
