    NOTE: This list is intended to provide a place to accumulate names of those believed to have been in the battle but for which no RW pension statement or other verification is yet known.

    When a comparison was made for the Kings Mountain Battle, between those whose presence was unverified with those for whom verification could be found, it was found that only about half of those listed in various places as participants could actually be verified as being present.

    Many in this list offer hints as to how they might be verified. This listing should be used with considerable caution.

    Additions and corrections are welcome.
