From the Arnold Hill Cemetery Association:
The following is a record of Abraham Kittle's war records, according to his sworn statement:

He was then transferred to the 2nd Maryland Regiment under Colonel John Stewart. He was in a battle on General Sullivan's Expedition on the Western Frontier, in the Battle of Green Springs, Virginia, in a battle against the "Black Corps of Horse" [Note: the Black Corps of Horse in South Carolina” may refer to the loyalist Independent Troop of Black Dragoons that was organized late in 1781 and was active in the Charleston area during the following year in South Carolina.]
He was detached from his regiment and sent on two voyages to the Tangier Islands; returned to his regiment and participated in the Battle of Yorktown in which his left arm was wounded and broken by a cannon ball from the enemy.
