On this 23rd day of November personally appeared John Marick of the County and State aforesaid aged seventy five 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 provision  made by the act of Congress passed June seventh, 1832, That he volunteered in the army of the United States in the year not recollected, under the command of Capt Joseph Gregory (this deponent in order that a satisfactory examination of his claim may be had wishes to state where he was born and so forth and make a full statement of the whole matter as he cannot state otherwise so as to be understood relative to his services) I was born in the sugar lands of Maryland in the year 1758 to the best of his knowledge bound to Joseph Locker 7 miles below big (illegible) at Capt Luckets ferry bound in Frederick Town in Frederick Coty. Left Locker to join a volunteer company but the man who I was bound to came and took me saying I was too young but previous to that I was old enough to be allowed a vote at (illegible) at Montgomery Coty at the 1st election held at that place. I left Mont. Coty & volunteered with Capt. Joseph Gregory & went to Nutters Fort in the Frontier of Virginia on the right fork of Monongahaly river under him I served as a volunteer for the term of six months during which time there was an attack made on a private family by the Indians within a mile of the fort. Capt Gregory with a few of us ran to their relief which saved them from being killed. There was one man killed by the name of Coleman; There was  family left the fort to go to there private place of abode and the man being from home the Indians took his wife & two children we went in pursuit of the Indians but did not come up with them until they had killed the woman and one child then squandered so that we could never make any charge upon them. We returned to the fort here stops my time as a volunteer under Capt Gregory, Gregory being elected Capt of Militia & Nathaniel Davidson Lieutenant as well as I can recollect, then I became a as malitia and the said Capt, Gregory during which time there was a block house attacked by Indians I was ordered under the Capt to march to the relief on the 4th March date not recollected, the block house was called Weavers Block House 9 whites killed and 3 made prisoners Weaver being killed 2 others wounded, the dead was buried and we marched back for the (cut off) on the Indians were gone, this ends my service with Capt. Gregory
