| | Dudley, Guilford, Military Services by |
 | | Dudley was a first cousin of John Randolph, of Roanoke; a volume of whose letters were published a good many years ago by her son Dr. T.B. Dudley. |
 | | Lord Dunmore, with the British troops and tories, withdrew and went on board his man-of-war and other ships, then lying in the harbor, for safety; from whence, by firing red-hot shot, or by means of some incendiary whom he employed on shore, he contrived to lay the flourishing town of Norfolk in ashes. |
 | | Lord Cornwallis, as it was afterwards ascertained, by a singular coincidence, put his army in motion at the same hour in the night that Gates moved, to strike him in his camp at Clermont the next morning at break of day, while Gates's object was to move down upon Camden that night. |
