I had ancestors here in NC during the war. It's not out land anymore, but my grandmother actually grew up in the house he lived in during the war, but it became unlivable when she was a teen. The chimneys are still there.
On the land is his crude gravemarker that states "Hung as a traitor" by Cornwallis. It's actually been stolen 3 times over 20 years, but somehow is always found and put back...so far..

We usually go to the reenactment "Battle of Guilford Courthouse". I grew up in that area, pretty good museum if you ever get that way.
