\n“James Gaines was captain of a company of volunteers at the battle of Guilford Court House and served in the artillery under Gen. Nathaniel Greene at Eutaw Springs. A letter from Gen. Greene after the battle of Eutaw, to the President of Congress, says:\u00a0 ‘He commanded the three pounders with the front line and did great execution, until his pieces were dismounted.’ He was born in Culpeper County, Virginia, 1742; died at Kingsport, Tennessee, 1830.”<\/p>\n
