The following story is from Sketches of Western North Carolina, by C.L. Hunter, Baltimore Regional Publishing, 1970 reprint of the 1877 edition. It details the account of Zaccheus, son of Robert and Eleanor Wilson in the Revolutionary War. Zaccheus is
estimated to be 15 years of age at this time.
[72]
On the next day's march, a party of scouts captured Zaccheus, who was found on the flank of the British army with his gun, endeavoring to diminish the number of His Majesty's forces. He was immediately conducted to Cornwallis, who, finding out his
name, took him along as a guide to the best ford on the Catawba. Arriving at the river, the head of the army entered at the point designated by the lad, but the soldiers soon found themselves in deep water, and drawn by a rapid current down the stream.
Cornwallis, believing that the boy had purposely led him into deep water in order to embarras his march, drew his sword, and swore he would cut of his head for his treachery. Zaccheus replied that he had the power to do so, as he had no arms, and was
his prisoner; "but, sir" said the resolute boy, "don't you think it would be a cowardly act for you to strike an unarmed boy with your sword. If I had but the half of your weapon, it would not be so cowardly, but then you know, it would not be so safe."
Corwallis, struck by the boy's cool courage, calmed down, told him he was a fine fellow, and that he would not hurt a hair on his head. Having discovered that the ford was shallow enough by bearing up the stream, the British army crossed over it
safely, and proceeded to Winnsboro.
