Is this the same John who was a Capt. in the 3rd SC Rgmt. under Thompson at 
Ft. Sullivan.  If so my 4th gr grandfather John McCutchen mentioned him in 
his pension app.   He said that after repelling the British he contracted an 
illness (likely malaria), was first sent to a hospital in Charleston and was 
then sent for by Col. Thompson.  He further states that he was carried in a 
wagon to Camden by "John Donaldson and Eli Kershaw, both Captains in the 
Continental Army".  I know Kershaw was a scion of a wealthy family from the 
Camden area...maybe Donaldson also lived there and took this opportunity to 
visit home.  Would like to know more about this Capt. Donaldson.
