Later this militia was called into service and became part of the 8th Virginia Regiment of Foot of the Continental Line under the leadership of Colonel(later Brigadier General) John Peter Gabriel Muhlenberg. The 8th Virginia took part in battles in South Carolina, most notably the Battle of Charleston and of Fort Moultrie in which a British Naval force of 10 ships was soundly defeated. The weather and conditions in the south were not kind to the regiment and fully half of them became quite ill with fever and malaria. A great deal of them were transported back home to Woodstock to be cared for by the local people. The rest of the regiment marched north a short while later to join General Washington's Northern Army and fought at Brandywine, White Marsh and Germantown. They later went into winter camp at Valley Forge. The weather and conditions in the south were not kind to the regiment and fully half of them became quite ill with fever and malaria.
