U.S. Census Index Records for Poplin
This data was compiled by Pam Shelton-Anderson.
Many thanks to her for sharing all of this Poplin data.
Her 3rd Great Grandfather was David Poplin born in 1807. From the 1810 census
records, she believes he was born either in Montgomery, NC or Chatham co. She finds him
next in 1830 in Hamilton co Ohio in Delphi twp. She believes he may have been in
Tenn. in
the interim because in the 1850 census in Indiana, he was listed at born in Tenn. She
thinks his wife may have been the informant and knew he had come from Tenn. to Ohio and
thought he was born there. On all other censuses he was listed as born in NC. In 1859
David, his wife Charlotte McKinney and their children emigrated to Wayne co Iowa where
David died in 1883. She has mostly continued through the Hamilton Co Ohio records trying
to find where he was before Hamilton co Ohio. If you have any information on David, please
email me through the link on my main page.

[David
Poplin would have been around 3 years old in the 1810 census. Therefore his
possible fathers from above would be
H
Poplin in Montgomery county, Henry Poplin of Chatham county or R Poplin of
Montgomery county. Notice that Henry and H Poplin have suspiciously similar
enumerations. Possibly the same man
who had land etc in both counties??]

George
Poplin of Burke co NC was a private in the company commanded by Capt Ducks (?)
and the regiment commanded by Col Littenell for 14 months.
He was placed on the pension roll in North Carolina 11 Oct 1833.
22
Oct 1832 in Burke co NC appeared George Poplin. According to what his parents
told him he was born 15 Dec 1752 and he believes that he was 79 years old last
Dec. He volunteered for 9 months in
the month of Sept, does not remember the year, under Col John Littenell and Capt
Jacob Ducks and was stationed in the Hickory Mountains Barracks in Chatham co
NC. They were frequently sent on
short expeditions against the Tories. He
was on this duty for 7 months then marched up the Yadkin River and then had a
small engagement with some of Cornwallis' troops.
Col Littenell was defeated at this place and was separated from his
troops who retreated under Capt Ducks back to Chatham where they were
discharged. He received a written
discharge from Capt Ducks. Poplin
next volunteered under Major John Knalls whose brother Nicholas was Captain.
This was a little before Hillsborough was taken by Col Fanning and
McVeal's Scotch Levies. The Americans marched from Chatham to Cane Creek at Linley's
mill where they met Fanning and McVeal who were returning from Hillsborough and
a severe engagment ensued. The
battle last about 3 hours at the US troops tried to retake Governor Burke and
other prisoners where were at Hillsborough, but they were unsuccessful.
Col Littenell and Major Knalls were both killed in the battle.
Poplin remained in service under Capt Nicholas Knalls abouth 3 months.
On account of the Levies they had to leave the county and under Major
Rossen and Col Golson they went down to South Carolina and remained there until
they heard that Cornwallis had been taken.
While in South Carolina he was in 2 skirmishes, one on Drowning Creek and
one on Shoe heel Swamp. Both of
those were against the Scotch Levies. Poplin
was discharged by Major Rossen soon after Cornwallis' capture.
His discharge papers are all lost at this time.
Issac Stewart testified that he first knew George Poplin in Anson co and
had heard it said that he had been a soldier in the Revolution.

William Poplin of Montgomery co NC was a private in the company commanded by Col
Alston in North Carolina for 9 months. He
was placed on the roll 12 July 1833.
State
of North Carolina, Montgomery co, 10 Oct 1832 appeared in court William Poplin,
resident of said county and state, 83 y/o.
He was born Feb 1749 and when he entered service, he lived in Chatham co.
Col Philip Alston raised a troop of horsemen in Chatham co who were
engaged to serve 3 months and they marched into South Carolina to join General
Ashe's army who was then in South Carolina not far from Charleston.
They joined said army near the Santin River and Poplin was placed under
the command of Col Alston and Capt Walsh (who came from Taylorsville NC).
From this place, Ashe's army crossed the Santin River at Nihon's Ferry
leaving Charleston about 9 miles to the left and thence up the Savannah River to
the town of Savannah Georgia where part of the British army was stationed.
Ashe's army moved to Augusta andt hence to Brier Creek in pursuit of the
British who tore up the bridge at Brier Creek.
Ashe's army halted here for about a week and was attacked by the British
who had re-crossed the river. The
Americans were defeated and 130
American prisoners were taken including Poplin.
The prisoners were taken about 15 miles down the river to Savannah where
for a week to 10 days they were confined in a large house built for a church.
From here they were carried down to the mouth of the Savannah River and
put on board a prison ship that was laying there.
Poplin was confined here with other prisoners for about 6 months when he
was induced from fear of starving to death to enlist in the British service. During his imprisonment he was
given a pint of rice a day and 3/4 pounds of fresh beef a week.
He left Col Alston on the same prison ship.
After enlisting in British service he was carried up the to Savannah and
made to work on the fortifications there for 4 to 5 weeks.
At the time, Savannah was surrounded by the American Army under General
Lincoln on one side and the French on the other. Poplin escaped and went to General Lincoln who allowed him to
go home to Chatham. A guard
accompanied Poplin and others that were in a similar situtation to the Cumber
River. Poplin stayed in Chatham
about 12 months and moved to Moore county where he lived 3-4 years and then
moved to Montgomery county where he has lived ever since.
He had a certified affadavit from Hudson Taylor who lived in Chatham co
when Poplin returned from service.
