Notes:
"Enoch Osborn and brothers, Solomon and Ephraim, went into what is now Watauga Co., N.C. on a hunting trip, deer being plentiful in that section. Getting wet by a shower of rain and wet bushes, they struck camp for the night and lay down to sleep, hanging their clothes by the fire to dry. The Indians surprised them by shooting into camp, and killing Solomon Osborn. An Indian chased Enoch some distance and lost him in the darkness. Ephraim, after fleeing from camp, crept back in the darkness to his horse, which had been fastened with a hickory bark halter, to a tree, loosed him and rode home. Enoch returned home without shoes and in his night clothing." (p. 19) (On p. 2, author says it must have been Ephraim Sr., the father, on the hunting trip, because Ephraim Jr. would have been only ten years old at the time.)

Named Captain of a new company by the Committee of Safety for Fincastle Co., on 4 April 1776. (p. 26)
