His father, Benjamin Roebuck, Sr., settled in Spartanburg Count}-, South Carolina, in 1777; and the next year the younger Roebuck served as a Lieu- tenant in Georgia, and was at Stono and Savannah. In 1780, he joined Sumter, and was at Hanging Rock, and subsequently at Musgrove's Mill, commanding a company at King's Mountain, and distinguishing himself at Cowpens, where he had a horse shot under him. About this time, he was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel ; and in a fight at Mud Lick... with the Tories, March second, 1 781, he was badly wounded, the ball penetrating under the shoulder blade, could not be extracted. He was then made prisoner, and conveyed to Ninety Six, where he was incarcerated during the siege. He was subsequently taken to Charles- ton, and placed on board a prison ship.
