From there we marched to the Catawba River, from there we marched to Broad River and maneuvered about there until we met with Col.

Clark having left us we lay at Salem several weeks and guarded our prisoners until our four months tour was expired. When we were discharged after having served four months.

Robert Parks and rendezvoused at Col. William Moore’s in said county & state and lay there several days. Our object was to keep Cornwallis in suspense until Genl. Greene should arrive with a reinforcement of regular troops, we marched from said Moore’s to Dan river in Virginia where we lay some time waiting for Genl. Greene. While we was there we received information that the British had turned their course in their march up the river and marched back to Gilford. Hence this Declarant was marched from there into Orange County to a publick place known by the name of Capt. Peter where a parcel of the Tories had assembled, we dispersed them and maneuvered about in Orange and Guilford Counties until the arrival of Genl. Greene with the Continental troops. After the arrival of Genl. Greene, this Declarant was marched to Guilford Court House where we met the enemy and fought that memorable battle on the 15th of March 1781 in which battle we were defeated and retreated to Troublesome Ironworks and in a few days we were disbanded our time being expired.
This Declarant does not recollect all his Officers, but he was first under Capt. William Moore then under Genl. Johnson, & Col. O’Neal. This Declarant further states that he served was of Companies of Mounted Infantry.
This Declarant could also further state that he has once before this time made a Declaration forwarded it to the war office, and has received information that it never reached there.
He hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension or annuity except the present and declares that his name is not on the pension roll of the agency of any state whatever.
This Declarant further states he was born in the County of Orange and state of North Carolina on the 9th day of June 1760.

Dear Madam:
You are advised that Revolutionary War data furnished by this office are obtained from claims made to the United States for pension and bounty land based upon military service of soldiers in that war.
A careful search of the records fails to show such a claim on file on account of the services of William McLemmeney of either Caswell or Orange County, North Carolina.
One William McLemmeney was a pensioner for services in the War of the Revolution, under the Act of 1832, and in 1834 was living in Caswell County, North Carolina.
It is suggested as a possible means of securing information in regard to the military service of William McLemmeney, that you apply to The Adjutant General, War Department, this city.
Very truly yours,
 A. D. Hiller
