William Henry "Pikey" Allgood was a veteran of the Revolutionary war. He enlisted in Virginia on November 11, 1776 to serve three years in the Georgia Co. commanded by Capt. Isaac Hicks in the regiment commanded by Col. Scriven.
Marching to Savannah, he was put under the command of Capt. Clem Nash and then later was captured at the surrender of Sunbury, while serving under Maj. Lane. He was held prisoner on a British ship at Savannah for over nine months making his escape while the city was being besiedged in the early fall of 1779 by Count D'Estaing and General Lincoln. He found his regiment broken up but rejoined the army, taking part in the retreat to Charleston. There he was discharged, presumably by General McIntosh. He later served his country again in the Virginia Co. of Capt. Michael Rudolph in the Legion of Lee for 18 months until being discharged at Salisbury. During this time he took part in numerous military engagements, the last two being at Ninety-Six and Eutaw Springs, where General Greene was "Victorious".
For his Revolutionary war service, he was awarded 840 acres of land in Surry County North Carolina.
September 23, 1933, Old North Chapter DAR, Winston Salem, North Carolina, placed a stone marker on his grave site in Allgood Cemetery, Surry Co. North Carolina.
