Would the following edit be acceptable on this page? Heading possibly "Family history" As a descendant myself, I need to request permission.
Crawfords' ancestor was a Revolutionary War army officer, serving in the North Carolina Militia. His name was Captain (later Colonel) Robert Hicks, and he fought bravely at the Battle of Guilford Court House, on 15 March 1781. Mrs. Cicero W. Harris has this to say about his actions: [1]
I think in common justice he, with another Granville commander, did enough at the battle of Guilford Court House to wipe out forever, the stain which the retreat of the North Carolina militia from that historic field, has thrown on the escutcheon of the State. When the militia turned and fled before the red-coats, Capt. Hicks stood firm and faced the enemy alone with his sword in one hand and the flag he had taken from the frightened ensign in the other, and fought single handed until the enemy were about to surround him, and his men had gone a considerable distance from him. Then, by a rapid movement, he escaped, and shared the dangers of the first Rebellion to the end. He was an uncompromising Whig, and his compatriots and fellow soldiers declared he never knew the meaning of the word fear.

Spencer, you having put the thought in my head, I’ve done as you suggested. However, I do not want to create an article, as follows, without approval. I know his dates are (1759-4 Sep 1829) but there is no reference to them in the article. Anne ( talk) 23:52, 17 December 2021 (UTC)
