Record of Relics Belonging to the Guilford Battle Ground Company 1888-1894, Schenck Books, XIV, SHC, clearly incomplete and written in a hurried, almost illegible scrawl, lists fifty items, mostly projectiles and gun parts. A few significant pieces are included, such as Number 41, a "skeen dhu" or Scottish dirk, left at a local house by a British officer. A note in David Schenck's handwriting states: "I paid Elias Perkins $2.50 for it." This item resides in the collection of the Greensboro Historical Museum.
