|anniversaries= }}{{US Revolutionary units}} The Salisbury District Brigade was an administrative division of the North Carolina militia during the American Revolutionary War (1776–1783). This unit was established by the North Carolina Provincial Congress on May 4, 1776, and disbanded at the end of the war.[1] History of the Salisbury district brigade formation and leadershipIn August 1775, the Third Provincial Congress of North Carolina delegates appointed Cornelius Harnett the head of the Council of Safety which oversaw resistance to British rule. They also divided the colony into six military districts for the purpose of organizing militia and arranging representation in the executive body. The Salisbury District was one of these districts, which eventually led to the creation of the Salisbury District Brigade. At the county level, there were Committees of Safety, including the Rowan, Anson, Mecklenburg, Surry, and Tryon counties. Many members of these committees of safety became the officers of the regiments of the Salisbury District Brigade.[2][3] Commandants of the Salisbury District Brigade and there service dates:[1][4]:
Griffith Rutherford was from Rowan County, North Carolina. He was commissioned as a Colonel and commandant of the Rowan County Regiment on September 9, 1775. On December 21, 1775, the North Carolina Provincial Congress split the Salisbury District into two separate regiments of minutemen--the 1st Battalion of Salisbury District Minutemen and the 2nd Battalion of Salisbury District Minutemen.
On April 10, 1776, the two battalions of minutemen regiments were disbanded. On April 22, 1776, Rutherford was commissioned as a brigadier general and assigned as the commandant of the Salisbury District Brigade that was established officially on May 4, 1776. Colonel Matthew Locke took over as commandant of the Rowan County Regiment.[1] Matthew Locke replaced Griffith Rutherford as commander of the Rowan County Regiment and was temporarily assigned to command the Salisbury District Brigade in 1779.[1] The North Carolina Council of State appointed Henry William Harrington as brigadier general (pro tempore) to lead the Salisbury Disctrict Brigade while general Rutherford was sent to South Carolina to join up with components of the Southern Department. However, general Rutherford was captured at the Battle of Camden on August 16, 1780 and imprisoned in Saint Augustine, Florida. Brigadier General (pro temp) Henry William Harrington resigned his commission in November 1780. [1]Colonel William Lee Davidson was commissioned as brigadier general (ProTempore) of Militia after Griffith Rutherford was captured at the battle of Camden, South Carolina on August 16, 1780. General Davidson was killed at the Battle of Cowan's Ford in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina on February 1, 1781 while opposing the re-entry of Cornwallis into North Carolina. The colonels of the Salisbury District "elected" Andrew Pickens to replace Davidson. Pickens was a newly appointed general in the South Carolina militia and did not have an active assignment. However, general Pickens returned to the South Carolina militia in March and Colonel Ambrose Ramsey replaced him for the Battle of Guilford Courthouse.[1][5] RegimentsThe following regiments were subordinate to the Salisbury District Brigade. The date regiments were established and disbanded are shown. Those regiments marked with a "+" were transferred to the newly-created Morgan District Brigade of Militia in May 1782. The Washington County Regiment was called initially the Washington District Regiment until Washington County was created from Washington District. The 2nd Rowan County Regiment's name was changed to the "Burke County Regiment" in 1777 and then back to "2nd Rowan County Regiment" in 1782. {{div col|colwidth=22em}}
The regiments were made up of male citizens over sixteen years of age. Regiments of militia were called up for service by the governor or the commanding general to serve for a campaign or for a period of time as needed. The soldiers were told what equipment they had to bring with them.[6] The Brigade was reported to have a size of 1,400 men in 1781 but never more than 2,000 men the remainder of the war.[7] EngagementsRegiments of the Salisbury District Brigade were involved in 98 known engagements (battles, sieges, and skirmishes), including six in George, 32 in South Carolina, eight in Tennessee, and 52 in North Carolina. One or more companies of these regiments were involved in each enagement.[1]
StaffThe Salisbury District Brigade had several staff positions.[62] {{div col}}
