Revolutionary War Soldier (Pvt. – SC): Battle of Kings Mountain, Battle of Cowpens, and the fall of Charleston. After freedom was won, he became a relatively wealthy farmer in the Williamsburg District of his native state. When the members of the Presbyterian Church, of which he was a member, decided to migrate to the newly opened territory of Middle Tennessee, he moved his family in the caravan. They rented land near Franklin for a year or so until the area south of Duck River was opened up and then moved into the region that would become Maury County. It was during this wait that Robert Frierson, already 65 years of age, passed on to his final reward. At his request, his remains were taken to the newly cleared burial grounds beside Zion church, in the heart of the tract of land that would become home for his children for generations to come, and there interred as the first burial at that site. Mr. Frierson had married Miss Elizabeth McCauley in early life and to them were born seven children.
