Declaration 
In order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress passed June 7th 1832. 
State of Tennessee}
Robertson County}  November Term of the Court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions in and for said county 
On this 15th day of November eighteen hundred and thirty two personally appeared in open court before the worshipful County Court in & for said County of Robertson & State of Tennessee now in Session, Charles McIntosh a resident of the County of Robertson & State of Tennessee, age Seventy two or three years, of which I have no record, but onct had and the same was burnt up in a house which I had burnt down in which me and my family resided, and I was born in Culpepper County in the State of Virginia in the year 1759 or 1760.  After being first duly sworn according to law, doth on his oath make the following declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress passed June 7th 1832.
That he entered the service of the United States under the following named officers and served in the services of the United States army as herein after stated. The first Tower I took  I volunteered for the three months, but under which Captains I do not now recollect commanded by Major Ramsey & Col William Moore and Genl. Rutherford, I at that time lived in Caswell County State of North Carolina which was a month or so before Corn Wallace took Charlestown, which I believe was in 1780. I was march to the Catawba River near the head of it was in no engagement served out my Tower and got a discharge.-
Page 7

which has been burnt also in my house, this second Tower I served I was drafted for the Term of Three months in the North Carolina militia. I was still a citizen of Caswell County in the State of North Carolina, which was soon after Corn Wallace Took Charles Town, but what year from infirmity and old age I am unable to say. I was drafted but under what Captain I do not recollect, but I was under the command of Maj'r Sharp Col. Farmer & Genl. Davidson. I was again marched to the Catawba River and there we met with Corn Wallace at Cowans ford across the Catawba, had an engagement with him in which we was defeated. Genl. Davidson was killed in the commencement of the Battle, we was ordered to retreat, which was done about five miles from the Battle ground and there we had another small engagement with Tarlton and his light infantry which was near the widdow Terrings, where we was again defeated, nothing very particular transpired in said last engagement. We were then marched to the Adkin River in the State of North carolina, but through what Counties we were marched at any time I am unable to say. at the Adkin we had another engagement with Col. Tarlton and his light infantry and was again defeated, without any thing remarkable occuring. We were from thence marched to Hillsborough in said State but through what Counties I am unable to say & where he received a discharged having served out the three months. 
The next Tower I served I volunteered myself for no particular time, I was still a resident
Page 8

of Caswell County State of North Carolina and in which Tower I served Three months but what year I am from old age and infirmity of mind and Body unable to say with any certainty of my own Knowledge, but all the Towers (except the first which was just before the taking of Charles town by Col. Tarlton,) was served one after the other immediately and probably the whole was in the same year that Charlestown was taken by Corn Wallace but I cannot speak positively as to that. I was in my last Tower under the command of Capt. Robert Parks, Lieutenant James Curry Col. Murphey, and Genl. Morgain, I was in one battle during of that [Battle]crossed out Tower, at the Ready fork of Haw River near Whitesills Mills, nothing particular transpired during the Battle We were marched through several parts of the State in pursuit of the Torries, but through what parts of the State or through what Counties I am unable to say. The different months in which I volunteered my self and was drafted into the service I cannot pretend to say. I received discharges for my several Towers, but have unfortunately lost all them by fire, at the time as I have before stated when my house was burnt down. I resided in Caswell County something like ten or twelve years after I left the service. I then moved to the State of Tennessee Robertson County where I have lived since, and where I still reside, which I suppose to be something like forty years. I was been as before stated in Culpepper County State of Virginia. In the year I suppose of 1759 or 1760, from the recollection of my age. I have
Page 9

no record of my age at this time, but had it at one time, from the record of my fathers account of my age, but it was burnt up in my house. I have no recollection of any of the continental or militia regiments with whom I served in any of my Towers, and the general circumstances of my service as well as old age and infirmity will accredit of I have given. I have no positive Testimony that I know of, to prove my service by in the manner and form printed out in this declaration. I have a Brother Nimrod McIntosh, whose certificate is hereto annexed knew of my being in the service of the United States in the Revolution, but he does not know under whom I served nor how long I was in the service. I am well acquainted with John Hutchison Esq'r, Joseph Johnson, Samuel Crocket, Matthew Powell Esq'r and many others which might be named if deemed necessary in my neighborhood.
He hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension or annuity except the present and declares that his name is not on the pension roll of the agency of any State. I was acquainted
with Genl. Morgain and Genl. Green of the United States army.

Madam
LM Drury Esq of Canandaigua NY, who is prosecuting your claim for pension, was informed, on the 23d June last, that before the claim could be allowed, it would be necessary to establish the date of your marriage. This must be done by the production of a clerk's certificate, or a copy of a church Registry, or a family Record of Marriages or of the births of your children. If no such evidence exists, then, you must prove it by witnesses, who must fortify their memories by collateral circumstances.

Sir
I have examined and filed the application of Candes McIntosh widow of Charles, for the benefit of the Act of July 7, 1838, and you are informed that identity is admitted, but that there is no reliable evidence to show that she was married to the late pensioner [as early as]crossed out prior to 1794. If there is no Family Record, or no evidence of the date in the office of the clerk of the county where the marriage rites were performed, (and of this one must be satisfied,) the age of her eldest living child, if established by the testimony of respectable neighbors, which testimony must be based upon some associated event, which is, itself, a matter of Record, might enable us to determine whether her claim is embraced by the Act of July 7. 1838.

IV. Has the declarant mentioned the period or periods of the war when he served? 
V. *Has he mentioned with precision the length of his service, and the different grades in which he served, in language so definite as to enable the department to determine to what amout of pension he is entitled? 
VI. Has he given the names of the officers under whom he served, in conformity with the regulations?

VIII. Has the Court given their opinion? 
IX. Has the Clerk given his certificate? 
X. Is the Clerk's seal affixed? And if so, has it a device or inscription by which it can be distinguished from any other seal?

XVI. ++Are the papers authenticated as the regulations direct? No 
XVII. Are the seven interrogatories prescribed by the War Department answered satisfactorily? And, if not, which of them is not so answered? 

EXPLANATORY NOTES. 
*QUERE V. In a case where the applicant cannot, by reason of the loss of memory, state precisely how long he served, he should amend his declaration by making an affidavit in the following words: 
"Personally appeared before me, the undersigned, a Justice of the Peace, &c. A. B. who, being duly sworn, deposeth and saith, that, by reason of old age, and the consequent loss of memory, he cannot swear positively as to the precise length of his service, but according to the best of his recollection he served not less than the periods mentioned below, and in the following grades; For-----year ----- months, and-----days, I served as a-------For------months and ------- days, I served as a ------ and for such service I claim a pension.
Page 27

3
It is important in all cases to determine with precision the period for which each applicant served, and the particular rank he held, as the law directs the pension to be paid according to the grade of the pensioner and the length of his service. The use of the phrase about the for months is too indefinite , and all such qualifying expressions are objectionable. Some persons who apply for pensions merely state they served two years in the militia, &c. without specifying the tours; the names of the officers, and other particulars respecting their service. This form of a declaration is highly objectionable. It must in every case be clearly shewn under what officers the applicant served; the duration of each term of engagement; the particular place or places where the service was performed; that the applicant served with embodied corps called into service by competent authority; that he was either in the field or in garrison; and for the time during which the service was performed, he was not employed in any civil pursuit. 
+QUERE XIV. Proof of Service. 
In a case where the name of the applicant is not found on the records of the Department, he must prove his service by two credible witnesses, who are required to set forth in their affidavits the time of the claimants entering the service, and the time and manner of his leaving the same, as well as the regiment, company, and line to which he belonged. The magistrate who may administer the oaths must certify to the credibility of the witnesses, and the official character and signature of the magistrate must be certified by the proper officer, under his seal of office. 
++QUERE XVI. Mode of authenticating papers. 
In every instance where the certificate of the certifying officer who authenticates the papers is not written on the same sheet of paper which contains the affidavit, or other paper authenticated, the certificate must be attached thereto by a piece of tape or narrow ribbon, the ends of which must pass under the seal of office of the certifying officer, so as to prevent any paper from being improperly attached to the certificate.
=>In every case where the clerk of the court, or other certifying officer, has no public seal of office, the certificate of a member of congress, proving the official character and signature of the certifying officer, should accompany the papers.

Claim ("original, [or for increase.]crossed out) 

Proof exhibited, (if original.) 

Is it documentary, traditionary, or supported by rolls? If either, state the substance. 
Charles McIntosh the husband was a pensioner under the act of June 7, 1832 at Thirty dollars a year. 
This claim was assisted first under the act of July 7. 1838 but the marriage did not take place until 1795, at which time the marriage is proved by reputation and cohabitation. The identity of the parties is fully established by credible witnesses.-- The name is abandoned under the act of 1838 but assisted under the act of Feby. 2. 1848 under which last act the claim is allowed.
(If for increase.) 
Has additional evidence been filed since admisson of the claim? If so, what?

Dear Madam: 
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War records of John Scott, who served as captain in that war, married Elizabeth Bibb in Amelia or Prince Edward County, Virginia, and later moved to Franklin County, Tennessee; Lodowick or Loderick Farmer, of Lunenburg County, Virginia; Charles McIntosh, of North Carolina, whose wife, Candice, drew a pension in Robertson County, Tennessee, Thomas Gunn, of Amelia County, Virginia, who had a son Sterling, and about 1885 moved to Caswell County, North Carolina. 
Revolutionary War data furnished by this office are obtained from claims for pension and bounty land made to the United States based upon military service of soldiers in that war. 
A careful search of the records fails to show such claims on file on account of the Revolutionary War service of a Thomas Gunn or of his son, Sterling. From the information given by you no record can be identified as that of the Lodwick or Loderick Farmer in whom you are interested. 
You are furnished herewith the records of John Scott and Charles McIntosh. 
Very truly yours 
A. D. HILLER
