Notes for Noah HAMPTON: McCall's Hist. of Georgia, ii, 308-12; Saye's MSS.; MS. pension statements of General Thomas Kennedy, of Kentucky, Robert Henderson, and Robert McDowell; Moore's Diary of the Revolution, ii, 351, gives the date of the Pacolet fight as occurring "in the night of July fifteenth," and this on the authority of Govenor Rutledge, who was then at Charlotte. Judging from Allaire's Diary, it must have been the night before. The particulars of the killing of young Hampton and Dunn are derived from the MS. communications of Adam, Jonathan, and James J. Hampton, grandsons of Colonel Hampton.
Killed by British Tories - found on page 155 "Kings Mountain and Its Heroes". Also from an account of his farther Col. Edward Hampton - mentioned that Jonathan's brother Noah had been killed by Dunlap at Earle's Fort in Rutherford County, North Carolina earlier in the year. Found on page 81 of "Kings Mountain and Its Heroes"an exact account of how Noah was killed. "Major Dunlap with his Dragoons and Tories, dashed instantly, with drawn swords, across the stream among McDowell's men, while but few of them were yet roused out of sleep. Young Hampton, when roused from his slumbers, was asked his name; he simply replied "Hampton," one of a numerous family and connection of Whigs, too well known, and too active in opposition to British rule, to meet with the least forbearance at the hands of enraged Tories; and though he begged for his life, they cursed him for a Rebel, and ran him through with a bayonet."
The brother Noah got land from his father in 1779, giving him a birth year of 1757,
