Circuit Court May term 1834
On this twentieth day of May one thousand eight hundred and thirty four, personally appeared in open court before the Judges of the Circuit Court of Clark County State of Indiana (being a court of record) now sitting, Issac Holman a resident of Utica Township in said County of Clark and State of Indiana, aged seventy seven years who first being duly sworn according to law, doth on his oath make the following declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress passed June 7th 1832.
That he entered the service of the United States under the following named officers and served as herein stated. viz.
His first service was as a volunteer in his twenty or twenty first year in Capt. Samuel Reeds company, John Grimes Lt. the ensign's name not recollected, under the general command of Gen'l Rutherford.  At the time he entered the service he resided at Rowan County N. C. when he entered it.  He march  from Rowan County up the Catawba into the Cherokee nation; and had several inconsiderable skirmishes with the Indians.  His company was fired upon by some Indians in ambush at a gap in a mountain. During this excursion into the Indian country there was a severe engagement between a part of the army and the Indians, but this deponent was not present at it as he was then detached on other service.  This his first term of service was seventy five days, he received a written discharge from from it at the head of the Catawba Cazy's Fort, Pleasant Gardens; his discharge is lost. From loss of memory he cannot be more specific as to the time of entering into and other circumstances attending his service.  His next proven command in the latter part of the year one thousand seven hundred and eighty or the beginning of eighty one, he was drafted into Capt. Ritchie's Grimes Company, the names of the other company officers not recollected; was under the general command of Gen'l. Davidson; was marched to Salisbury, thence to Charlotte in Mecklenburgh County S. C., thence
Page 11

to within about twenty five miles of Camden - then turned to the right towards the Catawba - then up the Catawba on the south side while the British were marching up on the other side.  This deponent was in the engagement near widow Torrent's in which Gen'l Davidson was killed.  After the death of that officer, Col. Lock was his commandant; under him he marched through Salisbury and the Moravian Town to Guilford County - about twenty miles below Guilford Court House.  Had a skirmish with the British.  After the skirmish joined General Green's army and marched to Guilford Court House and was in the battle at that place.  He has no recollection of knowing any regular officer excepting Gen'l Green; he well remembers the salutation between him and Col. Lock when the latter joined the army of the former; he thinks Gen'l Greene the [illegible] man he ever saw.  Soon after the battle of Guilford Court House he was dismissed; got a discharge at Salisbury which is lost.  This tour of service was three months.  He afterwards (but what time he does not recollect) served as a volunteer to guard at Salisbury the prisoners taken at Kings Mountain.  This service was at least two months he having hired a substitute for one month; he thinks Col. Lock was the commanding officer and has no recollection of any other in that service; his whole service was over eight months.
That he lived in Rowan County N. C. at each of the times when he entered the service, and until 1799 when he removed to Woodford County, Kentucky where he lived about one year at the expiration of which he migrated to Clark County where he has resided ever since.  That his birth was recorded in his father's family bible and was copied into his own where it now remains.  He was born as he believes on the 20th March 1757.  That he has no documentary evidence, and that he knows no person whose testimony he can procure who can certify his service.
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 of the United States.

By way of explanation to asking two questions, I wish to say that I am magazine writer of New York, employed by a wealthy man of Indiana to write a book about his family.
(1) There was Issac Holman, born in Rowan County, North Carolina, in 1757, and died in Clark County, Indiana, in 1843. Either he, or his widow named Lillas, received a pension for his services in the Revolutionary War. Do the records reveal any information as to his family – his brother or sisters, his father or mother, or even further

Back (which would be most acceptable)
(2) Have you any record of a pension awarded Thomas Noble, who died in Boone County, Kentucky, in 1817 – widow named Elizabeth?

Would you please be so kind as to inform me in what capacity my great grandfather Issac Holman served in the American Revolution. He enlisted from North Carolina, was born in the year 1757 March 20th and died April 1843. His wife Lillace [sic.] M. Holman drew a pension until her condition were such that it was not needed. 
He received a land grant for services rendered but this was never used, it being destroyed some years ago. I write for this information so as to have it correct as I want it to fill out an application to join the Daughters of the American Revolution. 
I will be glad if you can give me this information.
