ed shoulder cape also, and belted with scarlet, all fringed with white fringe, and on the 12 th of March, my men being all properly equipped, assembled together, in order, to give them a small scourge, which we set out for. On Balfour's plantation, we came upon him, he endeavored to make his escape; but we soon prevented him, fired at him, and wounded him. The first ball he received was through one of his arms, and ranged through his body; the other through his neck; which put an end to his committing any more ill deeds. We also wounded another of his men. We then proceeded to their Colonel's (Collier) belonging to said county of Randolph; on our way we burnt several rebel houses, and catched several prisoners; the night coming on and the distance to said Collier's was so far, that it was late before we got there. He made his escape, having received three balls through his shirt. But I took care to destroy the whole of his plantation. I then pursued our route, and came to one Capt. John Bryan's, another rebel officer. I told him if he would come out of the house, I would give him a parole; which he refused, saying that he had taken parole from Lord Cornwallis, swearing 'by God! He had broken that and he would also break our Tory parole. With that I immediately ordered the house to be set on fire, which was instantly done. As soon as he saw the flames of the fire, increasing, he called out to me, and desired me to spare his house, for his wife and children's sake, and he would walk out with his arms in his hands. I immediately answered him, that if he walked out, that his house should be saved, for his wife and children. When he came out, he said 'Here, damn you, here I am.' With that he received two balls through his body: He came out with his gun cocked, and sword at the same time." Source: Narrative of Colonel David Fanning, written by himself, Detailing Astonishing Events in North Carolina from 1775 to 1783, King's County, Long Beach, New Brunswick, Canada, June 24th 1790: The following:extracted from: The Narrative of Colonel David Fanning, Edited by Thomas H. Wynne, the secretary of the VA Historical Society "His grandfather, Bryan Fanning, was the first of the family to settle in the county, and his father, David, had moved his family to NC where he was drowned in the Deep River before his son was born. His widow remained in NC with her young daughter and new son, but the struggle was apparently to much for her. She succumbed in 1764, leaving her two children, Elizabeth and David, to be bound as orphans to guardians in Johnston County (the present Wake County). In later years David Fanning would claim his father's property in VA, two plantations totaling 1100 acres, but he never succeeded in securing his inheritance. In July 1764, the county court bound the nineyear-old Fanning to a guardian, Needham Bryan, Jr, a county justice, who at least fulfilled his obligation to educate the boy. Fanning was apprenticed to Thomas Leech who may have been a loom mechanic. In 1778 Fanning was reportedly working as a mechanic and loom builder in Chatham County, although he said nothing of his early life other that he was "farmer bred". Some insight on this period is provided by the folk traditions compiled by Eli W Caruthers in his history published in 1854. According to Caruthers, Fanning left his guardian because of harsh treatment and fled to Orange County where he was taken in by the John O' Daniel family. It was here that he was supposedly cured of scald head or tetter worm, an offensive scalp disease that left him bald. Thereafter he wore a silk skullcap. Another tradition from Caruthers is the widespread reputation that Fanning had as a youth of being a superb horseman and a 84
tamer of wild horses."… John married Elizabeth Battle before Jan 1764 in Rowan County, North Carolina.
