Captain Thomas Hemphill was my six-times great-grandfather. This marker was placed at a SAR ceremony that I was privileged to attend about ten years ago. The text of the service’s program can be found here.
The inscription on the stone reads:
Thomas Hemphill
Captain N. C. Mil.
Rev War
May 4, 1826
Thomas fought at the battles of Ramsour’s Mill and King’s Mountain, as well as other skirmishes.
