DAR # A046612 SAR Membership 27742 b.1758 APR 15 d.1847 OCT 20 Spouse: Elizabeth Pulliam | Father: William Obadiah Gragg Sr GREGG Mother: Elizabeth Martin | a revolutionary war soldier somtime in the 1790s he settled in the Globe Valley William Obadiah Gragg, Jr. of Irish descent was born on April 15, 1758, in Augusta County, Virginia, and died at the age of 89 in what became Avery County, North Carolina. His peers in that community called him “Revolutionary Bill” in reference to his experiences during the Revolutionary War. When British General John Burgoyne surrendered at Saratoga, New York, on Oct 17, 1777, at least two thousand British and German soldier-prisoners were marched from New York to land near present-day Charlottesville, Virginia. That prisoner-of-war camp became known as Albemarle Barracks, and there Revolutionary Bill served as a prison guard during the summer of 1778. He later served three months as a substitute soldier and was in two skirmishes near Portsmouth. In September of 1781 he joined a company commanded by Captain Robert Sharpes which marched to Yorktown and was with the forces of Gen. George Washington when British Gen. Cornwallis surrendered. He helped to escort prisoners north to Noland’s Ferry on the Potomac where he was discharged for the final time in Dec. 1781. | | | | |
