Military Service: Semore York was a British
loyalist at the outset of the Revolution. He was issued the following order from Royal Governor Josiah Martin on January 10, 1776:
To: William Fields, James Hunter, Robert Fields, Jeremiah Fields, and Seymoure York, Esquires of the County of Guilford;
Greetings. I hereby grant to you power and authority to form the forces you shall so raise into companies of fifty men each, and to appoint one Captain, ...and I do hereby give you...full power and authority to seize and take whatsoever may be necessary of arms, ammunition, provisions, horses, and carriage for the subsistence and accommodation of His Majesty's faithful subjects...
While leading 34 men into the battle of Moore's Creek Bridge near Wilmington on February 27,
1776, he was captured and taken to Halifax, North Carolina. In April 1776 he appears on a list of prisoners in the Halifax
jail. On October 12 1776, his wife, Sylvania, petitioned the Council of Safety, sitting at
Halifax, seeking his release in order to provide for his family. He was eventually released, retained his property, and received citizenship.
Died: February 8, 1783 in Randolph
Co., North Carolina
Buried: Sandy Creek Baptist Church Cemetery, Liberty Twp., Randolph
