Peter Francisco, known as the Virginia Giant, the Giant of the Revolution, the Hercules of the Revolution, and Washington's One Man Army, returned to Prince Edward County, Virginia, and enlisted in the horse company of Captain Thomas Watkins attached to Colonel William Washington's cavalry. He fought at the battle of Guilford Court House, where he was again wounded from the knee to the socket of the hip and reportedly slew eleven enemy soldiers with his large broadsword; Captain John Woodson of Cumberland County, left in the field with him, recalled that he was very bloody and so was his sword from point to hilt. Later ordered to Yorktown, Francisco, at age 21, watched the British surrender. In later years he served as Sergeant at Arms for the Virginia General Assembly. He died of appendicitis on January 16, 1831, at age 70 and was buried with full military honors at Shockhoe Cemetery in Richmond.
