Unsung Patriot from the American Revolution



Today's unsung patriot from the American Revolution is: 

Robinson Chilcote (1739-1781)

 "About the beginning of the Revolution, the Indians in that vicinity became so troublesome that Robinson Chilcoat was obliged to sell his farm, and removed to North Carolina.

He became one of the "rebels," joining the Continental army; was captured by the British, and died while a prisoner, of camp fever."
