Thomas Glascock
" Captain Thomas Glascock of Virginia came to Georgia some years before the Revolutionary War. In 1779, when Savannah was in the hands of the British, Thomas (and his father, William Glascock) were high up in the military service of Georgia. Thomas was a captain of cavalry in the Legion of Count Pulaski. In 1780, Captain Glascock was appointed Brigadier-Georgia.
During the battle of Savannah, while Count Pulaski attempted to lead his men past abate of the enemy’s works into the town, the Count fell from being shot in the groin with a cannonball. Glascock recalled that after the retreat of the Continental troops, there was bitter mourning in his legion that the Count had been left dangerously wounded near the abates.
Captain Glascock and several of his men boldly volunteered to return and rescue the dying soldier. The rescue was accomplished under the blistering fire and smoke of the British. Three days later, when the illustrious Polish patriot breathed his last, the young captain of cavalry was by his side, a place he had not vacated from the hour of the rescue."
