They crossed the New River and went into the Blue Ridge mountains to Flower Gap. They returned home the 1st of November. About the first of the year, 1781, there was a call for men to go into North Carolina. Henry was drafted on the 1st of Feb, 1781, under the command of Capt. Saunders, Colo. Crocket. He was stationed to guard the mines for six months. He returned home the first of Aug, 1781. There was again a call to go after the Indians and he volunteered around the first of September, 1781. He was then under the command of Capt. Doke and Colo. Ward. They rendezvoused at Cripple Creek and marched to the Holston River, then to Russell Co VA, then to the head of the Clinch River at Whitley's Ford and to Pierre's Station where they laid up for some time. They returned home about the first of December. Henry knew of no one that could testify to his service. He signed his mark: Henry (x) Bird
