biography
From FindAGrave:
Charles Sulllivan, son of Owen & Margaret, married Mary Johnson, "Granny in the Bed." Her maiden name was Charlton; born 1722, died 1837, born in Gouchland Co., Va., died in Greenville Co., S. C.
Charles Sullivan and Mary, with their children, moved to Georgia before or during the Revolutionary War, and settled on the Ogeechee River, near the town of Louisville, 50 miles from Augusta. While there, Charles and his sons, Moses and Hewlet, fought for the independence of their country under Capts. James Harvey, Irvin, and Tweggs. They remained but a short time in Georgia, moving into S. C. and locating on Little River, Laurens District. Soon after their removal, Charles and his sons enlisted in the company of Col. Hays, who was posted at Hays's station. After serving under him for some time, they, with some others, received permission to visit their homes to find wood and provisions for their families. After doing this, Charles, Hewlet, and Moses set out to return to the Station, within a few miles of which, they met Clayborne Simms fleeing with great speed. He said he had been sent out that morning for corn, and, on returning, he had found the yard and house lane full Or redcoats, and the house which was occupied by Col. Hays and his men was on fire. Charles, Hewlet, Moses, and some others passed around to the top of a hill, from which they saw Hays and his men march out of the burning building and surrender. They saw many hung and shot. (Hewlet - 16 yrs. in Army) Hewlet Sullivan was inquired for by a Tory named Dunoho who wanted to kill him because he had been whipped by Hewlet a short time before for stealing horses. Fortunately, he was absent as we have stated. Cunningham was at the head of the Tories who attacked Hays. Capt. George Martin and Hewlet Sullivan headed a company of rangers near the close of the war and worried, whipped and killed many of the Tories.
notes
From FamilySearch:
When the Armies of Revolutionary War over-run & devastated Charlotte County, Virginia, their home was burned to the ground. Charles took his family & fled to Georgia, and located on the Ogechee River near old town of Louisville, 50 miles west of Augusta, Georgia. As soon as the cabin was built, Charles & 2 of his sons, Moses & Hewitt, were pressed into service for 6 months. They then moved to Laurens County, South Carolina where they were involved in the Revolutionary War. They served under Colonel Hays. They would come home on leave to get food & wood in for the family, and when they returned to Colonel Hays, within 1 mile of him, a rider rode out of the woods & told them Colonel Hays & his men had been massacred by Cunningham & his men and to run for their lives. During this time the family was beseiged by Indians & Tories. Most of the cattle & stock were stolen, along with the slaves and crops all ruined. Mary dug a hole in the dirt floor in one corner of the cabin, put their bacon in it, covered it with dirt and placed rawhides on top of it to conceal the hiding place.
When their house burned down again, Charles collected what property was left & went into Augusta, Georgia, where the Commandant of the Post bought his cattle, paid for them in salt & rice.
