Declaration 
In order to obtain the benefit of the provisions made by the act of Congress passed June seventh 1832.
State of Kentucky} 
County of Greenup} SS:

On this 5th day of September in the year of A.D. 1836 personally appeared before the Justices of the County Court of the County of Greenup aforesaid John Chadwick a resident of Big Sandy in the County of Greenup & State of Kentucky – aged Seventy-Six (76) years, who being first duly sworn according to law, doth on his oath make the following declaration, in order to obtain the benefit of the provisions made by the act of Congress passed June seventh 1832. 

That he enlisted in the Army of the United States in the year 1780 & served till the end of the war – as follows –

First as a Private – (18 months) 
He Enlisted at Dan River, at the mouth of Bellou's Creek, Guilford County, North Carolina, on or about the 25 [25th of] December 1780, for the term of eighteen months – into the Compy [Company] commanded by Captain John Bruce, of Surry County, North Carolina, & served the Term in said Compy [Company] in the Regt. [Regiment] (No. [number] not remembered) commanded by Col’o [Colonel] Nelson of the North Carolina Line – He went immediately into service – scouting principally till March 1781 – in Surry County & Randolph County in pursuit of the Tories. In the spring of 1781 when Lord Cornwallis came into the neighborhood from South Carolina – pursuing Genl. [General] Morgan, the Compy [Company] of Capt [Captain] Bruce (in which deponent served) joined Genl [General] Greene's Army & fought in the Battle of Guilford – After this Battle, (in which he [^ deponent] fought) the Compy [Company] remained at Rugely's Mills several weeks – Genl [General] Greene then went
Page 7

to the South again & deponent with Capt [Captain] Bruce's Co [Company] went back again to Surry. The year following was occupied in marching about Surry – Guilford – Wilkes & Randolph Counties – with the compy [company] (a horse co [company] of Rangers) during which time deponent was in several skirmishes with the Tories. After the battle of Guilford the Compy [Company] never served with the Regt. [Regiment] – during the Term – Deponent served as above stated till the latter part of June 1782 – when his term of 18 months having expired – he was honorably discharged – by a written discharge from Capt [Captain] Bruce – which discharge has been long since lost.

2. Service as Orderly Sergeant – (five months) 
In June 1782 [^ say 25 June], immediately after his discharge as aforesaid, he again joined the same Compy [Company] as Orderly Sergeant – and served in the same section of country, in said Compy [Company] as Orderly Sergeant – for some months, he cannot state the precise period – [4 words scratched out] as near as he remembers he states five months – when he was promoted 

3. Service as Ensign – (5 months) 
Sometime in November (he believes) in the year 1782 he received a Commission as Ensign – from Genl [General] Nath’l [Nathanael] Greene – in the same Compy [Company] of Capt [Captain] Bruce & served faithfully as Ensign till the close of the War. Sometime [time written again] late in the fall of 1782 the Compy [Company] went to Pedee [Pee Dee] River in North Carolina where the Comy [Company] remained a short time & then returned [^ to Surry County]. But Deponent got sick [^ at Pedee [Pee Dee] & remained at the Barracks on Pedee [Pee Dee] River till peace was concluded. He by reason of sickness was unable to join the Compy [Company] again. He thinks it was the last of April (say 25th of April 1783) when he was able
Page 8

to travel when he received a Discharge – the war having just closed. He further states that according to his recollection, he served at least five months as Ensign in the Army of the Revolution. 

Deponent further states that he resided at the Shallow Ford of the Big Atkins River [Yadkin River], in Surry County – North Carolina – at the time of his first joining the Army & during the whole war – After the war he removed to Bourbon County Kentucky, where he resided till 1800, when he removed to Big Sandy, his now place of Residence. 

He further states that his Compy [Company] Officers were Captain Bruce, Lieutenant Allen, Ensign White. He served under Maj. [Major] Francis & Maj. [Major] Price – Colonel Lenier, Colonel Lynch, & Colonel Mosely – & General Greene at the Battle of Guilford – Deponent was in no other Battle – 

He hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension or an annuity, except the present, and he declares that his name is not on the Pension Roll of any Agency in any State.

Mr. John Chadwick 
816 West Seventh Street 
Birmingham, Alabama 

Dear Sir: 
Reference is made to your letters in which you request the Revolutionary War record of John Chadwick of North Carolina- “the South Fork of the Yadkin River“.

The data furnished herein were obtained from papers on file in pension claim, W. 9385, based upon the service of John Chadwick in the War of the Revolution. 

The date and place of birth of John Chadwick were not shown, nor were the names of his parents given. He stated that his father's house in Surry County, North Carolina, was burned in 1782.

John Chadwick enlisted, while a resident of Shallow Ford of Big Yadkin River in Surry County, North Carolina, sometime in the month of December, 1780 or in the month of January, 1781, and served eighteen months as a private in Captain John Bruce’s North Carolina company, was in the battle of Guilford Court House, and in several skirmishes. He enlisted sometime in July, 1782, served as orderly sergeant in Captain John Bruce's company, was commissioned in the fall of 1782, ensign and continued to serve in Captain John Bruce's company for five months. 

He moved after the Revolution to Bourbon County, Kentucky, and in 1800 moved to Big Sandy, Greenup County, Kentucky. He was allowed pension on his
Page 19

application executed September 5, 1836, then a resident of Big Sandy, Kentucky, and aged seventy-six years.

John Chadwick married May 31, 1847 in Greenup County, Kentucky, Lucinda Bartrum. 

The date and place of her birth were not given, nor were the names of her parents stated. 

John Chadwick died April 4 or 17, 1850 at his home about three miles from Catlettsburg, Kentucky. 

His widow, Lucinda Chadwick, was allowed pension on her application executed May 2, 1853, then aged fifty-nine years and living in Greenup County, Kentucky. She was residing in Catlettsburg, in 1866, 1867 and 1869. 

In 1854 George E. Chadwick was of Greenup County, Kentucky, and in 1857 Joseph Bartram was living in Greenup County. It was not shown that they were related to the family. 

In order to obtain the date of last payment of pension, name and address of the person paid, and possibly the date of death of the pensioner, Lucinda Chadwick, you should apply to The Comptroller General, General Accounting Office, Records Division, Washington, D. C., and furnish the following data:

Sir -

Your letter dated Jany [January] 31, 1837 - returning the amended declaration of John Chadwick, was received last evening. I have this day procure the authentication of my official character & signature by the proper office under his seal of office. By your letter referred to & also of the 11 Oct last-- you again [words scratched out] “The tours of actual service to be particularly specified” – you also stated that claim for five months from 1 July 1782, and for seven months from fall of 1782, as Ensign cannot be allowed – Whether you require a “more particular” specification of the service claim for the first term of Eighteen months – I am not able from the last letter with certainty to determine. If it is required, I will go & see Mr. Chadwick again & furnish such if any can be made.  But I do verily believe, that no alteration would be made on with proprietary can be. When he made his last Declaration – I very particularly again & urged him to be careful to state whether his service was continuous, or by tours, or broken periods of time- He was prompt & positive (with a full understanding) that the period by him stated, were served actually in the sense, I suppose the word is understood at the Department. After this, as a Justice of the Peace, I should not like to record a different statement. It is possible (may be probable), that he was mistaken, or has forgotten – But my belief is that he has intended to truly and has stated according to his recollection – and that any further examination would be useless. He says [^ he served actually & fully eighteen months] there was no cessation. It was a continual actual service, not occasional tours - I return the dec [declaration] with the Clerks certificate. I would respectfully request an

Sir-
your letter dated 20 March last, in relation to the application of John Chaddick of Kentucky for a pension, was duly received, & has been transmitted to him, who sent on this day a letter upon the subject which I enclose to you --- The letter contains no fact I believe but what is recorded in his Dec’n [Declaration] except he has stated [^ that] the period of his actual service terminated “the last of the year 1781-“ This will make his term of actual service one year, if I recollect right. As I endeavored in the first & second Declaration to explain to him & write down his statement truly, & as there has been a very explicit statement sworn to in [^ each of] those Decn [Declarations], I do not think it necessary to draw up a third, - I can account for the discrepancy only by supposing that he misunderstood my meaning of actual service. This letter (enclosed) will be taken as a qualification of his declaration. Having nothing more to add in explanation - the case is submitted on the evidence before you, for your decision. From all the evidence, (if I recollect) it is clear that he entered the 1st January 1781 - & taking the last letter as an explanation reducing the term sworn to it seems he should be allowed for one year. At all events considering the place when [^ & period when] he served-- it seems most probable that his service was actual 2 continuous till sometime after the capture of Cornwallis -- which would be nine or ten months at least. Believing that he was a soldier of the Revy [Revolutionary] & [^ that] he served his country to secure its freedom. I hope he will receive a favorable consideration

Hon. J. L. Edward 
Com. [Commissioner] of Pensions 

Sir:
Mr. John Chadwick (of Ky) an applicant for a Pension has frequently sent to me, requiring whether his application had been granted - From your last letter I supposed it the intention to grant it least six months - I have not since heard from you on the subject. That then an discrepancy in his various declarations I am free to admit - So far as they relate to his actual service they may have arose from a misunderstanding, in part, of the meaning of the time, & in part from a loss of memory. I endeavored to give his own story each time, & that without aiding him by any reference to the history of the times-- except perhaps (as I usually corrected all) when he mistook the month or year of a Battle suggesting the true date. In the case of Chadwick from my own knowledge of the man, & from his statements & oath I have no doubt he was in service the period he states- & I know faithfully-- But what part of the time he was in what is deemed actual service I am not prepared to judge - neither do I believe he can now give a true account himself-- From the little experience I have had in drawing up Decr [Declarations] for pensioners, I have found that the memory of most of them has been greatly impaired - & that in many things they are unable to give a strait account—tho’ [though] of undoubled integrity of character.
I wish you [^ Sir] to review his statements & make a final decision & inform me the result as soon as convenient. Confidently believing that Mr. Chadwick was amoung those who served his country & shared its dangers in its darkest days-- I hope he will now before he dies, in his old age share a portion its bounty & Justice.

Sir -
I herein enclose an application of John Chadwick (or Shadwick) for a pension you are respectfully requested to examine & report your decision to me as agent of Applicant –

I would take the liberty to state, that I drew up for him his application - and at the time he stated he served as a private 18 months –
as a Sergeant about 6 months –
as Ensign about 12 months – 
making three years – But on the time requesting him to state the time of his first going into service & leaving it – he could make out but 28 instead of 36 months – He was much perplexed in fixing the time of the two last terms of service - after some communication he fixed the period as in his Declaration - I had no reference to the history of the times - As he stated that he served till the Army was disbanded, and as this took place in the fall of 1783, instead of April [^ 1783] I am rather of the opinion that he has made a mistake against himself - If you should find his name as Sergeant & Ensign on the Rolls for a longer paid, then stated in his declaration - this will explain, and if admissible-- I should wish an opportunity to amend his declaration to correspond with the Court.

I add further that I have been acquainted with Mr. Chadwick about fifteen years – he is a man of good standing & I never heard his moral character impeached – I received

The name John Chadwick has not been found on the records, on file in this office, of North Carolina soldiers in the Revolutionary War.

The collection of Revolutionary War records in this office is far from complete, and it is suggested as a possibility that the desired information may be obtained from the North Carolina Historical Society, Raleigh, N.C., or from the Veterans Administration, Washington, D.C., which has the custody of the United States pension records.

Gentlemen:

I will be greatly obliged if you will give me such information as is available, from your records, concerning John Chadwick, my great-grandfather, who was a soldier of the War of the Revolution. My information is that he entered the service from North Carolina (South Fork of the Yadkin River), but do not know date of his enlistment or other particulars concerning his army service. He was born in 1760; died, in Kentucky, 1850. I am especially anxious to know what the records show as to the place of his birth (whether in this country or in England), and the names of his parents.

Since he lived to be 90 years of age, I am reasonably sure he was granted a pension. Whether this inquiry should go to The War Department or to the Pension Section of the Veterans Bureau I do not know. If there is a charge for compiling from records information such as this requested, I will be very glad to remit amount of charge.

Dear Sir,
On Sept 29, 1932, I received a reply from you concerning my ancestor John Chadwick of the Revolutionary War. File No B-A-F-ML13. John Chadwick W.C. 24663. But in the meantime I find that the record you sent me of John Chadwick is not the correct John Chadwick. So there must of been two John Chadwick that served from the South in the Revolution. The John Chadwick's record that I want died in KY. He was twice married his first wife’s name was Karon, and in 1860 his second wife was still receiving his pension.

This information I want of John Chadwick was sent by you to Mrs. Henry Hutchinson of Dixmont, Pa. She has the original pension papers, and you can find her letter concerning him in records. 

I would certainly appreciate if you would look thru your records and send me the now record of the correct John Chadwick, the one you sent to Mrs. Hutchinson in 1932-33.

Awaiting an early reply,

Dear Sir:-

I am in need of the records, if there be such in your office, of John Chadwick, a pensioner of the Revolutionary War. He was a resident of Greenup County, Kentucky when this, I presume was done. At least he was a pensioner at the time of his death. J

James(strikethrough) John Chadwick was a native of England, came to this country, so tradition tells me, some time in the years of 1765 to 1770; the same kind of history come to me that he served from North Carolina with General Nathanal Green [Nathanael Greene]; also a native of North Carolina; these things being true he must filed papers in the pension office, the date and place of his birth in England, or at least the county or town he was a resident then of.

I want a statement form your office if he filed such papers, and give them to me as completely as possibly, from the fact that it is to be used in England; showing the date of broth [birth], place, time of emigration, and where his passports were to land him in this section.

Kindly give me as full and complete a statement of these facts as your records will permit you to do and I will be greatly obliged.

An early reply will be greatly appreciated.

John Chadwick Application 

Solo [Solomon] Beckley, Burlington Ohio - Agent.
Page 112

Supplemental Declaration of John Chadwick of Greenup County Kentucky State in order to obtain the benefit of the Act of Congress of the 7th of June 1832. 

The said John Chadwick, being duly sworn before me [^ Soln [Solomon] Beckley] a Justice of the Peace in & for Lawrence County State of Ohio upon his oath says – Firstly – in answer to the question what reason had you to give for not making an earlier application for a Pension – He says he resides in an obscure place on Sandy River, five miles above the mouth – that he has taken no newspaper for the last twenty years – & from age & infirmity has not been able to go about – nor has he scarcely left his farm for four years past. That he did not know or hear of the Pension Law until in May 1835. That he then understood he must prove his service, & not knowing any person in existence by whom he could prove his service, he considered it useless to apply – & for this reason he did not make application sooner. He was at length induced to make application in consequence of affirmation obtained from Mr. Solomon Berkley of Burlington Ohio, (the writer of this Declaration). He further says – that he has made inquiry & has not to this day heard of any person by whom he can prove his services in any respect during the Revolutionary War. He therefore cannot exhibit direct proof of his services – 

As to the statement made in his first declaration that he belonged to Colonel Nelson's Regt [Regiment], he now says, that Captain Bruce's Company in which applicant served, never served in any Regt [Regiment] – except at the Battle of Guilford – that deponent while in service under Captain Bruce, often saw Colonel Nelson who seemed often to give orders to Captain Bruce, from which circumstance he supposed that Captain Bruce's Comy [Company] belonged to Colonel Nelson's Regt [Regiment]. He cannot now state in whose Regt [Regiment] he served at the Battle of Guilford. 

As to his actual service – He says he went into actual service, as an enlisted soldier, on or about the 1st January 1781 – and Captain Bruce's Company on Dan River in North Carolina – that he actually served in the said Company – the term of Eighteen months as a private – That he with the Company ranged or scouted in & through the Counties of Wilkes, Burke, Surry, Rowan & Guilford – till the expiration of Eighteen months.

After Cornwallis left the South – soon after the battle of Guilford – the Company of Captain Bruce was continually employed against the Tories, who continued to infest the County, robbing & burning – (This Deponent's Father's house was burnt by them in Surry County in 1782) – he served actually & fully eighteen months. His second term of service was commenced immediately after he was discharged from his first enlistment viz. on or about the 19 July 1782. – He then volunteered into the same Compy [Company] near the Shallow Ford on the Big Yadkin River, as Orderly Sergeant. That he went into & continued in actual service according to the best of his recollection six months. He was employed in ranging in the same Counties before mentioned, in order to suppress the Tories, who still continued doing mischief. During all this time (during the two terms) he was kept with the Compy [Company], there was no cessation according to his recollection – it was continual actual service, not occasional tours – according to his recollection, after serving as orderly Sergeant about six months he would say positively it was five months, he was commissioned Ensign – in the United States Rangers as he thinks they were called. He served actually in the same service as before stated at least seven months as he believes – including about six weeks confinement by sickness, at Pe dee [Pee Dee] Barracks – where he was when the Army was disbanded – and further he saith not.

Greenup County Ky [Kentucky] April 7, 1837 

Dear Sir
I herewith send you another statement so fair [far] as I can recollect, of my Services in the US Army. It has been so long and my memory is getting so treacherous that I can recollect only a few circumstances in comparison to what I could have stated a few years ago. 

A few days after the Battle of Guilford No [North] Carolina which was about the middle of March 1781, Lord Cornwallis marched from the above place to Petersburg Virginia to join the other British forces from N [New] York under the command of Genls [Generals] Phillips & Arnold. Genl [General] Green [Greene] after collecting what forces he could marched to Camden So. [South] Carolina in the year 1781 in this year (1781) I was under the command of Genl [General] Green [Greene] at the time of the Battle at the above place (Camden) I was not in the Battle as it happened that our company was out on a scouting party at the time of the engagement.

After some skirmishes with the Tories in the South we returned to No [North] Carolina where we remained [word scratched out] in the service of the US until the last of that year (1781). After this time although we were not in actual service we were commanded to be in readiness at a moments warning, and was not finally discharged until the treaty was signed in Paris about the last of the year 1782. 

This is as much as my memory will serve me to relate, at the time I entered the service I was a Boy only 16 years old and wild did not care for anything and consequently did not charge my memory with the transactions of the time. 

John Chadwick.
