http://www.lamartin.com/genealogy/stafford.htm
On the night of 27 Jan 1780,

to Sir James Wright's
Plantation
, where John Hearn (Harn), his wife,

as Native American Indians. Sylvanus was mortally wounded in that
same attack, and he died of wounds a few days later. It is not known
if his wife Dinah was with him that terrible night when he was mortally
wounded. Also, as of this writing, it is not known if Sylvanus was
truly an English Loyalist/Tory, or if he was an unfortunate
non-participant in the Revolutionary War who had too much to lose, i.e., a
large 12,000 acre plantation that was surrounded by friends and neighbors
who were prominent English Officials.
