State of Kentucky Mason County SCT
On this fourteenth day of December in the year 
of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and fortysix 
personally appeared before the county Court for the county of Mason and state aforesaid Mary Daulton a resident of said State and County now being in her eighty third year of age And being first duly sworn according to Law doth on her oath make the following
declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the provisions made by the act of Congress passed July the fourth eighteen hundred and thirty six 
and subsequent acts.
 
That she is the widow of Moses Daulton who was 
an orderly sergeant in the war of the revolution and served as follows. My late husband Moses Daulton was born and brought up in Princewilliam County in the State of Virginia His services I now state according to the best of my recollection having often conversed with him on the subject of his services and hardships - 

Moses Daulton often stated to me he entered the army 
of the revolution and in the continental  establishment at a very early age being not quite sixteen years old and was marched from Dumfries [Virginia] in to the main
army in the year 1776- I cannot now recollect the month nor can I recollect officers names under whom he entered the service owing to advanced age 
and loss of memory I do yet recollect the names of places where Mr Daulton often stated he was in some of the hard fought battles 

Namely the battle of Monmouth [Battle of Monmouth, New Jersey 1778], the battle of Trenton [New Jersey, 1776], the battle of the Cowpens in North Carolina [Battle of Cowpens, South Carolina, 1781]
commanded by Colonel [Daniel] Morgan those are some of the battles he stated he was in
but was in more which I cannot now recollect
Page 4

I cannot recollect to state the particular
parts of the country through which he marched
but do truly and irrevocably State he served 
from some period of the year 76 to the 
close of the revolutionary War a term of 
service of about seven years as orderly sargent

Deponent further states that she had for
many years in her posession many old papers of
her husbands some of which she knows to of
been in relation to Daulton business when 
in the revolutionary War but all such papers
are long since lost and destroyed and the
particular contents are not recollected

She further declares she was married to the said Moses 
Daulton on the thirteenth day of October in the year 1786- 
and that her husband the aforesaid Moses Daulton died 
on the twenty seventh day of October 1819 and that she 
has not married since but has remained his widow ever since. 
she further states that owing to the lapse of so long a time 
She knows of no person by whom she can prove the services 
of her late husband Moses Daultonthere being so few of those 
older patriots now living.

Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter of December 15, in which you

A man who says his name is White, & that he lives in

The claim of one Dolton soldier in Danel Morgan Vagiment of
Rifle, afterwards was Capt.(so he says) he has been to my house said 
Times, & on the 10th I instant I wrote as follows; Holman Rice 89
years of age was chosen by Coloel Daniel Morgan  his
particular spie or scouter in his Regmt. of Riflemen & to the
Best of my recollection I never knew any such a man there as
tho this dolton had heard the name of Dolton mankind which might 
have been at the time of rool callings;
It seems to me  the hunting after old soldiers claims
I mean for the benifit of the widow & is s bad busynes, & the
employers had better be defending our present Case. Mr Edwards 
may notice - that I do implicate the above notion of ever saying

duty sworn according to law sayeth that he was well
acquainted with Moses Daulton late of this county from
the year 1806 to the day of his death Sargent Daulton
was a highly respectable Citizen and was always reputed
and universally believed to of been an old revolutionary 
officer an orderly Sargent  Deponent further
states that in the year of 1812 he received the commission 
of first Lieutenant in the regular Service of the United
States which gave rise to [illegible] Conversations with Sargent
Daulton on the subject of his Services in the revolution all
of which gave undoubted conviction to me that he was 
an old Soldier of 76. and in the regular services as orderly
Sargent. The relation or statements of Sargent Daulton
of his services and respectability he was held in
society gave universal belief by all who knew him
that he was an orderly Sargent in the revolutionary 
war And in confirmation of that public opinion in
the year 1813 at the commencement of our late war
Sargent Daulton was made Captain of a company
of aged men volunteers, of this county called Silver
Grays Sargent Moses Daulton died on the twentyseventh day 
of October 1819 and in honor to him as being an old revolutionary 
Officer he was buried with the Honors of War I was the commandant

Dear Madam,
Reference is made to your letters of February 6 and March 4,
1932, relative to Moses Daulton.
The data which follow are obtained from the papers on file
in pension claim, W 8659, based upon the military service of
Moses Daulton, in the Revolutionary War.
Mose Daulton was born, date not stated, and reared in
Prince William County, Virginia.
When not quite sixteen years old he enlisted in 1776, in Dumfries 
Prince William County, Virginia, served as orderly
sergeant of cavalry, officers not designated, served also in the 
3rd Virginia Regiment and in Colonel Morgan's Virginia regiment,
was in the battles of Trenton, Monmouth, Cowpens and others not

In 1800, he was living in Mason County, Kentucky, having moved

1819, and was buried with the honors of war.
In 1813, Moses Daulton was made Captain of a company called

and served as an Orderly Sergeant of Cavalry, 3rd Virginia regiment, to

October 4 or 13, 1786, he married Mary, daughter of Daniel Fristoe.
She was allowed pension on an application executed December 14, 1846,

In  honor to him as an old Revolutionist, during 1813 he was made
