For the purpose of obtaining the benefit of the act of Congress passed June 7th 1832. this day, being the 12 day of November AD 1832 personally appeared before the Hon D McCollough, one of the probate Court of the said County, now sitting, the same being a court of Record, William Moore Seventy four years a resident of said County & citizen thereof; and made
the following declaration for the purpose aforesaid
That he entered the service of the United States, under the following named officers, and served as he states
He entered the service of the United States, under Captain Jacob Farrace in the year 1776 or 7 in the State of North Carolina and served three months, and something upwards, the precise time he cannot say, but he thinks only a few days over three month, under General Rutherford against the Cherokee
Indians. His Colonel's name was Armstrong, his lieutenant was(he thinks) named Wright. He entered the service in Surry County, N.C. which adjoins Rowan and as he lived near the County line, he supposes Daniel Holman, from that circumstance believed, as he states in the
affidavit herewith sent, that this applicant lived in Rowan County - The service above set forth, was performed in the Cherokee Nation, on French Broad and other places - He remember they were on Big Pidgeon and Hiwassee. They were at the Valley towns. This applicant received a discharge in writing, and as he was a youth he put his discharge in his fathers hands, and he does not recollect ever to have seen it since. His father is long since dead, and he has no documentary proof except the deposition of Daniel Holman, herein enclosed and
attached to this declaration as a part thereof
His next service was in Kentucky, in the years 1780-1781 - He served three tours of one month each - the first under Captain Astell who was killed near a town called Boonsborough (a small village )
Page 6

by the Indians. The precise time cannot recollect but he thinks that
he performed this tour in the spring of 1780, the second tour was
performed at and near Brigg's station in the latter part of the
summer or first of the fall. His Captain was named Barnett
the third tour of one month was performed the fall after the "Blue
lick defeat" under the above named Barnett as Captain at
Bryant's station and in the adjoining country. The officer by whom he
was ordered into the service, each of the above three tours, was Colonel Logan he received a
written discharge
at the close of the above tours, and has lost them
long since and cannot at this time bring any documentary proof
in support of this his declaration, nor any testimony of living witnesses
of his actual services, and is compelled to rely upon his own
statement which he here make, upon oath for the support thereof
connected with the corroborating statement of his neighbors
hereto annexed.
This applicant again entered the service in the fall of the year, but
he does not recollect whether it was in 1781 or 1782 in the State of
Kentucky, then a territory of Virginia under Col. Logan, and Genl.
Clarke against the Indians, his captain in this
campaign was also Robert Barnett. He was out on this service
two months, and performed it on the mouth of the Ohio, on the
waters of the [illegible]. They had some small skirmishes with the
Indians, but no general engagement. He was discharged this time
in writing but he has lost his discharge. A few days after his return
from this campaign he entered the service of the United States again
for the time of three months, as a volunteer, under a major Tatum
and Moses Shelby, who had some command, but the office he held
this applicant does not now remember. On this town, he was
Page 7

marched to Nashville in Tennessee was detached as a guard to the persons who were employed run [?] the lines of the Military bounty lands. The Indians were hostile and this service was both dangerous and attended with numerous hardships. After having served the three months as aforesaid this applicant received a certificate of his services which entitled him to locate and appropriate one hundred and twenty four acres of land, which certificate he sold and he has no other written evidence of his services - and he has no other means of proving the same than by his own oath, and the annexed statements of his neighbors -This service closed in February 1782 or 3 which he cannot positively say.
This applicant claims as will be seen for five tours of duty, namely one of three months, 3 of one month each,  one of two months, one of three months, in all Eleven months. He expressly states that he performed all of said service - the first, second, Third, fourth, and fifth tour he was drafted - the sixth he was a volunteer. He was born in Maryland, in the year 1758. He has lived in Kentucky 39 year since the Revolution, and the remainder of the time in Indiana. He has his age recorded in his family bible, taken from the Bible of his father. He submits also the statement of his son Wm Moore hereto annexed. He hereby relinquishes all other claim to a pension, than the present and declares that his name is not on the pension of all of any agency in any State in the Union. Signed and sworn to this day of November 1832

to the said William Moore on the twenty eth day of April in the year
of One thousand Eight hundred. That she was Ann Inyart before
married to the said William Moore which marriage was Solemnized in Lincoln County State of Kentucky by Joel Noel a minister of the Gospel. That her husband the aforesaid William Moore

That she was married to him at the time above stated - She further
swears that she was a widow at the passage of the act, and is still a
widow and that she has never received a pension of the United States
But that applied for a pension which application she has
good reason to believe was made in 1849 and was disallowed by the commissioner of pensions and that an appeal was
taken by her attorney George W. Hardin of Monroe County
Indiana to Congress for a special act in his favor. That she
Page 10

gives reference to the declaration & testimony filed in the war or other
department of the United States upon which the said William Moore
deceased was granted pension. That from advanced age and
debility she could not with convenience & without some risk of
injury go to the County Seat of said County of Orange to make a declaration in open Court in order to obtain the benefit of the provisions
of the aforesaid act of Congress. She has good reason to believe that
her said appeal to Congress for a special act to grant her pension was
not decided upon by that Legislative body further than her right
to the provisions of said act above mentioned

Dear Madam:


Reference is made to your letter in which

BRIEF objections in the admission of Pension Claims, of which those answered in the negative, in red ink, will apply to the claim of William Moore which require further proof or explanation.

if not, which of them is not so answered?
4
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 26

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 three or four months, is too indefinite, and all such qualifying expressions are objectionable. Some persons who apply for pensions merely state that 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 in highly objectionable. It must, in every case, be clearly shown 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 an 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 claimant's 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 papers 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.

Be it known that before me
Justice of the Peace in and for said

law and authorized by law to administer oaths personally
appeared Ann Moore of the said County who after being
duly sworn according to law made oath to the following
declaration. That she is the the widow of the identical William
Moore who was a revolutionary pensioner of the United States
at the period of his death and that he died in the County of Washington in the State of Indiana on the 15th day of
July in the year of 1844 - That the arrears of pension
money due the said William Moore at the aforesaid date or period
of his death was paid to declarant by virtue of her right as his
widow. That the identical William Moore aforesaid resided
in the County of Monroe State of Indiana when he applied for a pension and was placed on the pension list roll of the Indiana
Agency at the rate of Thirty six dollars or about that sum
per annum for Military services rendered as set forth by him
in his declaration and testimony deemed satisfactory and upon
which he was granted the aforesaid pension - that she was Ann
Inyart before intermarried with said William Moore which
Marriage was solemnized by "Joel Noel" minister of the Gospel
the 20th day of April 1800 Eighteen hundred, in Lincoln County State of
Kentucky or Declarant gives reference to the said William Moore's
declaration and testimony upon which he was granted a pension
in order to prove his services rendered as a soldier and believes it
Just and right that her claim and right to a pension under the act
Page 34

of the Third day of February Eighteen hundred and fifty three
should be determined upon the proof of services rendered by her
late husband William Moore filed in his claim for pension
and which was approved by the allowance granted him and the identity of declarant's connection with him by her proof filed
heretofore & with this declaration. That the said William
Moore entered the army of the United States about the year 1775
as a private soldier and served under Gen. Rutherford
Colonel John Armstrong and Captain Jacob Free
after this about or near the year 1780 he served again
in the war with the Indians in Kentucky and Ohio under

Logan's Regiment; again one month in Captain Robert
Barnett's Company, Colonel Logan's Regiment; in the fall
of 1782, three months in Captain Robert Barnett's Company,
Colonel Logan's Regiment and was in a skirmish with the
Indians on the Miami, and soon after three months under
Major Tatum.

County, Indiana, having moved there from Kentucky,
He died July 15, 1844, in Washington County, Indiana.

Gentlemen:-

Will you kindly furnish me with Pension Record of
William Moore (born 1758, died 1844) who served under Capt. Jacob Free in the North Carolina Militia. Believe
he was at Cowpens, Eutaw Springs and Camden, and family
tradition is that he was one of the defenders at Bryant
Station, Kentucky and served under Logan until Peace was
declared. He died in Indiana.
He was twice married -- first to Olivia Free and
second to Anna Iniard. It is believed he was the son of
Col. William Moore of Lincoln County, N. C. who also saw
service in that state.
Any reference to names of wives, children, parents,
or places of residence and any and all dates will be
greatly appreciated. This information is needed for
D. A. R. application papers.
(Mrs. Robert R. Harris )
Yours truly,
