      In the "Roster of South Carolina Patriots in the American Revolution", it states that John Dinning served as a Lieutenant and acted as a Captain under Colonel Kimball. He served as a horseman in the militia under Captains Barry and Gray, and as a footman under Captain Richards, and General Pickens, during 1779.
