During this service he with Moon went as far as the creek called Shoulder (----).  He was again discharged and returned home and afterwards joined a horse company under Captain Nathan Fowler, and Major Ledbetter.  Fowler was himself a spy when out in service and took him (Dupuy) and 3 others generally with him.  His excursions they explored the Indian country so far out as the Ocmulgee pursuing the upper Indian trading path that led from the Oconee river, was during this time engaged some 50 Creek twice or three times after this was called out by Buckwalter and service from 10 to 20 days does not exactly recollect.  I would further state that during the two last years of the war he was considered at all times ready and willing to serve his country and is well satisfied his whole service exceeded the terms of his reputation.
He knows of no person who can testify as to his service having removed from Georgia to Jefferson  and then in 1914 to Christian County where he now resides twenty nine years since but he is known to every man in and near the vicinity of the seat of Justice and offers the names of David L Patton, a Justice of the Peace for this county and the Reverend William Kirkman as credible witnesses to establish his character for integrity and veracity. 

It is with regret he states that from the carelessness of youth he lost his papers and during the last war had a conversation on the subject with Col John B Campbell who promised he would present a petition for him but fears his untimely fate prevented
He hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension or annuity except the present and declares that his name is not on the pension rolls of any agency in the United States.
Sworn to and subscribed the day and year aforesaid
William Dupuy (Signed)
