From Wikipedia.
William Whitley served under Kentucky governor and general Isaac Shelby (1750-1826). Shelby was Kentucky's first and fifth governor. As a soldier, he served in the Lord Dunsmore's War, the American Revolution (where he played a pivotal role at the Battle of King's Mountain and then moved to Kentucky after the war) and the War of 1812.
He personally led the Kentucky militia at the Battle of the Thames.
