• Notes

  Arnold destroyed Revolutionary records in Washington and Tarleton in Isle of Wight but it is known that the following were in the army with Washington: Col. Josiah Parker, Maj. Francis Boykin, Capt. James Johnson, Gen. John S. Wills, Jesse Matthews, James Casey, Edward Ward, Robin Turner, Samuel McCoy, John Forrest, Henry Hill, Ben (Whalebone) Jones, and Moses Atkins. Col. Tarleton passed through the county twice at the head of a considerable British Cavalry. He committed wanton destruction carrying off slaves, cattle, horses and other property. In one of these raids, they were attacked by a body of Isle of Wight milita at a place called "Scotts Old Field" in Nansemond County and met with a defeat being driven across Milners Creek by the militia. The county bore the brunt of numerous invasions.
