" In 1781, a party of whigs, under the command of Col. Hays, passed
in the neighborhood of Coats' shop, (Newberry Court House,) to Jacob
Brooks' ,(now the plantation of Harrington Pope.) Two of the party,
James Tinsley and John Campbell , a lad, son of Captain Angus Campbell,
of Laurens, and brother of the present Dr. Robert Campbell, diverged
from their direct route to have a horse shod at Coats' shop, at the
Cedar Spring, just below the village grave yard. Having accomplished
this they started to rejoin their companions at Brooks'. They were fired
upon about where the barn of Drayton Nance, Esq., now stands, on
Higgins' Road. One ball took effect in the bridle arm of Campbell; his
mare jumped from under him , and accompanied Tinsley in his flight to
Brooks'. There the command turned out, and retracing Tinsley's steps,
they found Campbell dead. The persons, whoever they were, who had
wounded him, had completed the work of death. His companions bore him to
Coats' shop. On the margin of Scotts Creek, he was buried; and there he
slept the sleep of death until, in 1849, the excavations for the
railroad laid bare the remains. They collected, with pious care, by his
excellent brother, Dr. Robert Campbell, and buried in the family burying
ground.
