I had four ancestors with the Patriots at Kings Mountain.
Two of them were the grandfather was David Richard Allen and his son Adoniram David Allen.
Then there was John "Sithy" Kelly and his teenage son Will "Bill" Kelly. Our family's oral tradition is they were members of "Washington's Scouts" who guided the different militias into the staging area before the battle and then located Ferguson’s encampment on King's Mountain.
After the war's end Will Kelly made the journey from North Carolina to the Forks of the Kentucky River in Kentucky. While visiting he became betrothed to and married Allie Allen, Adoniram's granddaughter.
