He entered the service of the United States under the following named officers and served as herein stated:
  Towit: That he was drafted in the County of Bute. As well as he recollects the County was during the war divided into what was afterwards called Warren and Franklin Counties in the state of North Carolina. He was drafted for a tour of three months in the last of March or first part of April 1779 in the Company commanded by Captain Aaron Furrell. And that Geter, who shortly after they set out took sick and returned back home where he afterwards died, was the Captain who first commanded and who was seconded of said Geter, that one Buffort (Beaufort) was either Lieutenant or Ensign in said Company. That said Company was attached to the Regiment of Colonel Johnson, who also died on his returning homeward from the service. That they rendezvoued at Bute Court House and from there marched toward Willmington croped a water course called Tar River till we got near to there and thence changed our course to what is now called Fayetteville. Then took cource thence southwardly into South Carolina croping Savannah River at the White Bluffs in pursuit of a British Army. Thence near to Briar Creek thence down to Bacon's Bridge about a mile from which place a day or two after we had a skirmish with McGirt, a Tory with sixty Indians, during which time the British Army laid in John Island. From thence to Stons old Fields. About six or seven weeks after we arrived at this place we had an engagement with the British at Stons Ferry in which the Americans were victorius, Herd Major Dixon was wounded here also applicant received a light wound on the forehead, hand and shoulder but from which he soon recovered losing no time from the wounds although they have left scars which were shown to the Justice before this application is made. Here about the first of August were ordered to march toward home where they were discharged. Applicant got home on or about the 20th of August and he thinks from the time they left the main Army till they got home was just 20 days. During this tour General Sinclair, General Butler and others whose name he has forgotten in this trip were commanding from the time we left home till we returned. From the time we left home in the service at Bute Court House till we returned we were on duty five months. That after the time he was drafted at Bute Court House as afore said, how long after applicant from loss of memory cannot now say was for two weeks under Colonel Marlborough who was Captain were kept under arms nearly all the time day and night with very scanty provisions. That during the time they had a skirmish with the British near and in a corn field that the British were driven and lost considerable richs along the road. Here we took 21 horses and two negros which were sold and the money divided among the men. This applicant received his share or what was then said to be his share. That he served out his tour of two weeks. That as well as he recollects they were not in this trip detained over the term of service before last above spoken of that it was in the year 1779.
  That during the year 1781, the Tories being troublesome in the neighborhood of Cape Fear where this applicant then resided, they were frequently called out to scatter bands of Tories and restore peace and safety to the Whig inhabitants under one Lieutenant Creak who had the command. He thinks the Captain never went along with them in the service. That during the year aforesaid they perfomred a number of tours. Sometimes they would be gone one or two days owing to the distance they had to go. That during this time the Tories killed some of the settlers among whom was an old man by the name of Headly (Hadley). This old man was shot by them in his own house. They caught one of them and took him to trial before one Squire Sproles. That from loss of memory and lapse of time he cannot say how long he was actively and actually employed in this service. That he is now very frail and palsyed owing to which he could not go before a court of record to make this his declaration and had to procure said Justice to come to his house to take this declaration. That for his Militia service as above stated he received a discharge which he retained till about the year 1819 when all his papers were burnt in the house of his son in law.
  Question by the Justice - Where and in what year were you born? Answer - I was born in Bute County, North Carolina on the 20th day of Sept 1760.
  Question - Have you any record of your age and if so where is it? Answer - I have no record of my age. I state it from remembrance of my fathers record.
  Question - Where were you living when called into the service? Where have you lived since the Revolutionary War and where do you now live?
  Answer - I was living in Bute County North Carolina when called into service. I have since I left Carolina lived in Indiana on White Water(River) in Franklin County Indiana from thence to Monroe County and from there to Owen County Indiana my present place of residence.
  That he was called into service as here tofore stated in the two first tours named he was drafted in the last he served in what is called the Minute Service.
  That he served as herein before stated in all not less that six months as a private in the War of the Revolution and for which service he claims a pension. He knows of no person by whom he can prove his service. He hereby relinquishes every claim except the present to a pension or annuity and declares that his name in not on the Pension Roll of the agencey of any state in this Union.
