C.) in 1780 by the Bri tish and Tories and used as a saddle and found a few miles dis tant on Crowders Creek and re turned and has been preserved in the Ormand Family and kept at the Old Place with a wooden canteen used by Mr. Ormand. The large white oak still stands here, to which the British and Tories tied their horses In the summer of 1780, before the battle of Kings Mountain, October 7, 1780. "By advise of Giles C. Ormand, the mat. grandson of Benjl Or mand, the present proprietor. This the 6th day of May, 1881, I record these facts." The record was signed by R. Z. Johnston, a Presbyterian minis ter.
