The guidebook has a brief reference:
The SOLDIER'S MONUMENT, on the lawn of the Carter County Courthouse, has an inscription honoring Mary Patton, who made the gunpowder fired by Tennesseans at the Battle of King's Mountain.

Per the Elizabethton walking tour guide link :
Located in the Courthouse Square, the Soldiers' Monument was constructed in 1912 and dedicated in 1913 to all soldiers from the Revolution to that time. The monument stands approximately 60 feet tall with a 20-foot base, and was made of river rock and handmixed
concrete. In the 1920s and 1930s before radio and TV, hundreds of local residents would gather around the Monument on Election night to await the results which were read by the clerk of the courthouse.
The monument was refurbished in 1989 and dedicated to Carter County soldiers serving in all wars.
Did not see the referenced inscription about Mary Patton.
