Eliza "On Tuesday, the twenty-seven, Lieutenant Colonel John Laurens was killed in a gunfight against British troops in South Carolina. These troops had not yet received word fron Yorktown that the war was over. He's buried here until his family can send for his remais. As you may know, Lieutenant Colonel Laurens was engaged in recruiting three thousand men for the first all-black military regiment. The surviving members of this regiment have been returned to their masters".
