He first entered the service as a volunteer in the Militia of North Carolina in the month of September in the year 1777 in a Company which Benjamin Cleveland was Captain. He met his company at Krider's (Crider's) Fort in Burke County, North Carolina on the 3rd day of September 1777. He marched to Davis's Fort on the head of the Catawba River in the county of Burke where he was placed in a light horse company by Captain Bartlett. Colonel Francis Locke was commanding Colonel of the regiment to which Captain Cleveland's company belonged. General Rutherford was the commander in Chief. From Davis's fort he marched on an expedition against the Cherokee Indians at what was then called the 'Near Settlement' and the "Overhill Towns" and marching on the past the "Near Settlement" the Indians had fled before their arrival there. In a gap a short distance from the Overhill Towns they fell in with the Indians and had a host engagement with them and they were defeated and fled. He next went into service in the militia of North Carolina as a volunteer in company of which Thomas Whitson was Captain John Baldwin to the best of his recollection was the lieutenant of the Company. Colonel Charles McDowell was the commanding Colonel of the regiment to which his Company belonged. He joined his company at Krider's Fort in the said county of Burke and went into the service in this town on the first day of April 1778.
From here they marched to the head of the Catawba river and after marching over adjacent country and seeing no sign of the Indians (Cherokees) they returned down the river and at the crossing of the North Fork of the Catawba river they were met by a considerable number of Indian warriors belonging to the Cherokee nation and had an engagement with them in which Zebulon Shelton a Private was killed and seven or eight of their troops wounded. Among whom were Captains White and Whitson. White afterwards died of his wounds and Whitson recovered. Indians were vanquished in this engagement and fled; they could not ascertain how many of them were killed as they carried off their dead with them.
From here they marched back to Krider's Fort where Captain Whitson and his Company remained as a garrison to guard the frontier against the incursions of the Indians. While they remained there, spies and scouting parties were continually out for the Fort to watch for the approach of the Indians.
After remaining at the Fort at least 4 months under Captain Whison, on the 7th day of October 1778, he received a discharge signed by Captain Thomas Whitson having been on this tour six months, 7 days. He next went into the service of another militia.
Their children were Joseph, Peter, Nancy, Ruth, Sarah, Isaac, Mary, Elizabeth, & Rebecca Ford.
Joseph was the son of Bernhard Fort/Ford and Mary Ann Unknown.
