John Mabe received a pension for his services as a private in the North
Carolina Militia during the Revolutionary War. On September 9th 1833,
when he made his declaration of service, he stated he was living in Surry
County, North Carolina at the time he was called and has resided in the same
neighborhood since the end of the war (now Stokes County). He was first
drafted for a three month term in the late summer of 1780. He served under
Captain Edwin Hickman and his brother Lieutenant Thomas Hickman. They
marched to Old Moravin (Moravian) Town, and then to the courthouse at
Old Richmond; then to Shallowford on the Yadkin River and continued
marching until they were within 10 miles of the battleground at King's
Mountain. There they met the troops that had just defeated the British and
the Tories. That was October 7, 1780. They assumed control of the prisoners
and marched them to Old Moravin (Moravian) Town.
