I represent James Dilworth. I was a private in the Maryland Loyalists Regiment raised in 1777. In March 1778, I enlisted as a private in Capt. Philip Barton Key‘s company. We saw action at the Battle of Monmouth in 1778 before being sent later that year to West Florida to defend Pensacola and Mobile against the Spanish. We arrived in late December 1778 exhausted and sick. In 1779, with both our corps depleted by disease and desertion, the two were merged.I was serving in Captain Walter Dulany‘s company when I died on April 3, 1780. Though no cause of death was given, I was absent from the February muster due to illness. I probably still lie in an unmarked grave in Pensacola.I probably still lie in an unmarked grave in Pensacola.
