Military	Revolutionary War Source: One Family and The Founding of America, The Story of the MacLean Family, Before, During and After The Revolution Citation details: page 124 Text: "John, eldest brother of William, was a minuteman for the colonists during the Revolutionary War. He belonged to Rutherford Regiment when called upon by his newly forming country. The regiment marched to the aid of Charleston, South Carolina. Herethey were heavily besieged by the British regulars. The city fell to Lord Cornwallis of the Royal Army. John was taken prisoner at the surrender of Charleston in early 1780. He was exchanged in the same year and rejoined another company under Captain Adlia Osborne of Providence. "Not long after serving in this company, John was sent with a party of men to examine the position of the British at Buford's Bridge. Seeing the sentry on duty there, he told his companions that if he could just reach a certain tree he could kill the sentry. He did reach the tree, but while trying to shoot the sentry, he himself was shot in the head. For his service of three months, he was to have received a half bushel of salt. This, however, was delivered to his brother, Thomas, at the hands of Captain Osborne in Providence."
