On this 27th day of August A.D. 1833, personally appeared in open Court, before the Justices thereof, in the aforesaid county court now sitting, John Reeves, and maker of the following declaration [?] around his original declaration in order to obtain a pension.
That he was first mustered into the service of the United States in the month of September 1780, in Capt Thos Prices company, as a volunteer which company was raised in Burke county North Carolina. Said company was raised to march against Furgason on King's Mountain, and the troops were not levied for any specific time. Applicant marched with said company as in original declaration stated, and his general duties are therein detailed. Applicant here states that having discharged the duty assigned him and his brother in going to Georgia to inform a body of men as is in Col Campbell's forces, he rejoined Captain Price's Company at Col Walkers, where nine tories were hung, among whom was Ambrose Mills. After rejoining Price's company we were marched from Walkers to Earls Fort, where applicant continued in constant duty, as in original declaration stated for twelve months, with the exception of one tour maintained in original declaration under the command of Captain John Miller. The field officers commanding the company officers were Col. James Miller, Col Joseph McDowell, and 
Genl McDowell. Applicant says that he never received or had any written discharge that he was discharged verbally for his tour of service of twelve months.
Applicant returned to this County in the year 1803, and from the great distance he lives from the place where his services were
rendered, he did not know of any person by whom he can prove his services, and that he cannot prove them by any living witness, and that he has no documentary evidence to establish his revolutionary services. His relinquishment is made with original declaration.
And to the interrogations transcribed by the war department and put by the court, the said John Reeves answers and says as follows.
