I find no Rowark, Ruark, or Roark or variations in the book. I looked through
all the Rs.

I checked www.amazon.com and it is listed at the following link:

Roster of the patriots in the battle of Moores Creek Bridge
by Bobby Gilmer Moss
ASIN: 0962617237
Availability: This title is out of print.
Although it is no longer available from the publisher, Amazon.com will query
their network of used bookstores for you and can send an update within one to
two weeks.

I bought the book at the Moore's Creek Battleground over near Wilmington NC at
their gift shop. Perhaps you could call them and order directly from them.

There was a compnaion book which was called the Roster of the Loyalist in the
battle of Moores Creek Bridge by the same author. I can't find it on amazon. I
did not buy it, but now wish I had. It too is available in the gift shop at the
battleground.

I took several digital pictures of the battle field and hope to very soon
compose them into a virtual tour of the battle field and put them up on the
internet.
