Harwell says that he enlisted in Sussex County, Virginia at which point, "there was then no Captain of the Company but Mayberry was Lieutenant and Commadant of the Company." The Company, apparently under the command of Robert Mabry "was marched from Sussex County to the White Plains in the neighbourhood of the City of New York, where the headquarters of the American Army then was". Harwell also says that, "Some time during the next spring I marched under Lieut. Mayberry from French Creek to Fredicksberg in Virginia and from there we went to Blanford, Pocahuntas and Petersburg." In his additional testimony, Harwell says, "He is not by any means certain that he entered service in 1776 or 77 he was under Lieutenant Mayberry for several months before he joined the main army near New York."
