I Daniel Mebane (Brother) heir at law of Colonel
Robert Mebane do upon oath testify and declare to the best of
my knowledge and belief that Robert Mebane was commissioned
a Lieutenant Col. in the 7th Regt. North Carolina line in the
24th day of November 1776 and was promoted to the Commission
of a Colonel on the ninth day of Feby. 1779 and
that he continued to serve in the said regt.  untill
the Sixteenth day of Oct 1781 where he was slain at the Siege
of York in the State of Virginia when he was engaged
in a conflict with the Common Enemy.  I further
declare that I have never received a warrant for the bounty
Land promised to him on the part of the United States
nor do I believed  that he ever received it or transfered
his Claim to it in any whatever therefore.
I request the Honourable Secretary at war to have
the same forwarded to me to Spartan burgh
Court house to the care of Hugh Mooreson and 
This shall be his receipt for the same sworn to me
acknowledged in my presence.
