I wish there was an accurate roster of Major McDowell's North Carolina riflemen for this battle. Most of my kin within the past generation or two come from Cherokee, Macon, and Swain Counties in western North Carolina. But I know that some of their kin came from Rutherford County around 1800. If they were there in 1800 they might have been there during the Revolution and one of Major McDowell's rifle companies was drawn from Rutherford County men. I just like to think it might have been possible that I had an ancestor who was a frontier rifleman sharpshooting on Daniel Morgan's skirmish line. I reckon I'll never know for sure. Cowpens was perhaps the tactical masterpiece of the American Revolution.
