And Colony of North Carolina Abstracts of Land Patents show on July 22, 1774 Charles Simpson bought 400 acres in New Hanover Co, "on the east side of Widow Moore's Creek, joining Onisemus Futche" near Tuckashoe Swamp. oOn October 26, 1767, Peticrew Moore purchased 150 acres also in New Hanover Co, "on the east side of Widow Moore's Creek, joining the swamp side and a point formerly made for Daniel Holland by Onesimus Futch". He is listed as jury member on April 5th, 1771 on a damage lawsuit with 6 pounds assessed in Wilmington, North Carolina, He owned land on 22 Jan 1773 in Wilmington, New Hanover Co, NC. The abstract specifies on January 22, 1773, John Devaun acquired 100 acres in New Hanover Co, "between James Bloodworth and Onesymus Futch on the east side of Widow Moore's Creek below the great Pocoson".
Onesimus served in the military in 1776 in Wilmington, New Hanover Co, NC where he served as a private in a South Carolina Regiment during the Revolutionary War. The battle at the Widow Moores Creek Bridge took place on his land just across the river from Wilmington, North Carolina. Serving in the Continental Army with him were Francis McCall, Joshua Pearce, Lewis Lanier, Luke Whitfield, Benjamin Whitfield, Benjamin Jackson and Hardy DeLoach (Hardy De Loach is the father-in-law to his son Jacob Futch). . Onesimus Futch Sr., being a member of the South Carolina militia, found himself fighting the Tories of Sir Henry Clinton who was sent to Cape Fear River area of North Carolina. He was with Colonels Richard Caswell and John Lillington on February 27, 1776, when about a thousand members of the Patriot Army defeated an army of Scottish Highlanders at the Widow Moore's Creek Bridge near the port city of Wilmington.

_________________________________
1830 Bryan Co, GA Federal Census:
Revolutionary War soldier. Onesimus is now 70-80 years old. This supports the date of birth as being 1750-1760. Thus the birth date of 1745 is quite probable. Onesimus also owned several slaves according to the 1830 census of Bryan Co, GA.
He died about 1832 in either Bulloch or Bryan County, GA.
Some researchers have Onesimus Futch as the son of John Futch but after many researchers have reviewed all known information on the early Futch family, it is now thought that Onesimus was the only son of Martin Futch as entrys in his Will makes us consider Onesimus Futch as his only heir and therefore his only child.
