Booton was the  Colonll commandant the regiment, and Gen. Sumpter in chief command -(the Christian names of Col. Booton + Genl Sumpter he cannot reccollet) - the particular name or number of his regiment he cannot now remember. That soon after being drafted he with his company marched from Fairfield Co to Friday Ferry on the Congaree River about sixty miles - that he served at said Ferry two months, being in camp and employed in guarding the Ferry to keep the enemy and tories from crofsing the Congaree River - that at the end of two
Page 6

months, their services being no longer required, he with his company were discharged, (on condition and subject to be drafted again immediately or whenever called upon) and returned home - he thinks he obtained only a verbal discharge and not a written one
That afterwards in the same year now the last of June (having been home only about two weeks from the before mentioned tour he was again called upon and stood another draft and was drafted as a militiaman (afornote) in the South Carolina militia at Camden County (now Fairfield) under Captain Henry Hale in the regiment of Col. David Hopkins under the command Gen Richard Winn - as soon as drafted his company with himself were marched to Orange burgh about 75 miles where there was an old forte and was employed most of the time in garrison and the balance of the time was out of the forte and near it on guard - at which time he served the full tour of four months - on his march from Fairfield to Orange burgh his company lost a skirmish with the tories, who attacked them about three miles from Orange burgh and fired upon them from the swamps, but were repulsed and driven back. - his company lost one man killed, one wounded, and one horse killed - at the end of four months he and his company were discharged, his time of service having expired - at which time he obtained a written discharge from his captain, which has been lost for many years and cannot now be found or obtained - That afterwards in the year 1782 in the month of May in the same county above named he was again drafted in the South Carolina militia as a private for the term of
Page 7

four months under John McCool who was captain of his company, in the regiment of Col. David Hopkins, under the command of Gen Richard Winn during this tour he thinks Gen Francis Marion was along a part of the time either in command or otherwise - he marched this time from Fairfield to Orange burgh 75 miles, thence to the Four holes bridge 45 miles and while on the route, they joinened Gen Green's army which was in its march on retreat from old forte ninety six - he separated from Green's army again at or near the Four holds bridge, where he, his company and others lay in camp and were employed in guarding the bridge and were there two months - they then marched to Lawrence' Ferry on the Santee river 40 miles, where they were encamped for two months and employed in watching and guarding the Ferry and the enemy to keep them back - that having served his time of service (four months) out he was again discharged and obtained a written discharge, which has been lost many years and cannot be presented to be transmitted herewith -
He further states that he served the full term of ten months at the times, places and under the officers named in the above declaration as stated therein - that the corps in which he served was regularly embodied and called into service by competent authority, being by the authority of the State of South Carolina or United States, as he then understood, and suposes - and that during his term of service above stated, he was not employed
Page 8

in any civil pursuits or businefs except in the army and the service of his country -
He also states that he was not in any general battle, but was in the engagement or skirmish above named - he was near the battle of the Eutaw Springs at the time but was prevented from being in the engagement by his other duties -
He further states that he has no other witnesses or evidence to prove his service except his own oath and traditionary evidence - that his only witnefs, personally knowing to his services, has been dead some years and that there is no one of his company near him or in this state or elsewhere, now living who can testify for him - that he left South Carolina many years since, and has not been there for some years and upon proper inquiry cannot ascertain that any one of his company is still living to give evidence in his behalf -
He further states that some three years since he made application at the war department for his pension but failed to obtain it for some reason which he cannot now state, that he did not immediately renew his application, because he thought he could do without it, and therefore did not trouble himself to preserve his former papers or to know what became of them - since then circumstances have made it necessary for him to renew his application, and the reason why he does not send herewith his former papers, is that he supposes they either were retained at the war office or were returned to his attorney who kept them and has since moved out of the
Page 9

country so that he cannot now get them to send with this declaration.  He hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension on annuity except the present, and he declares that his name is not on the pension roll of any agency in any state.

Madam
     I advise you from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, S.32578, it appears that Isaac Waggoner was born, September 11, 1761, in Craven County South Carolina (later called Fairfield County),
     He was living in said county when he served in the South Carolina Militia as a private as follows:
     From April, 1781, two months under Captain Parrott and Colonel Bratton; from June, 1781, four months under Captain Henry Hale and Colonel David Hopkins; from May, 1782, four months under Captain John McCool and Colonel David Hopkins.
     He was allowed pension on his application executed June 6, 1836, while living in Shelby County, Illinois.  He died in 1838, exact date not stated, leaving ten children, whose names and that of his wife are not on record.

     This is the history of the only soldier named Isaac Waggoner, under any spelling of the name, found on the Revolution War records of this bureau.

                 Shelbyville Ill   Aug 11, 1826

Sir,
     I received a letter from the War department relative to the papers of Isaac Waggoner for a pension under the Act of June 7 1832, which states that there is no evidence in the department of drafts for four months as he describes in his papers that the militia were called out only on short tours, that his statement requires exploration.  In answer to this I can only state that Mr. Waggoner has stated in his declaration all that he can state, and that he cannot give any further explanation because he has stated all the facts as they occurred according to the best of his recollection.  I have heard him relate his story a number of times, and he has always been very correct in it, and from his manner and character for truth and veracity, I have no doubt but that all his statements are true.  I have also frequently conversed with his neighbors who are all of the opinion that he served ten months in four months drafts as he states.  Mr. Waggoner is now very old but retains a good memory, he has all the liveliness and poise of a soldier of the revolution still about him.  He is very conscientious in all his statement, and under all circumstances it is extremely impossible for him either to amend or alter
Page 21

his papers or even to explain them further than what they explain themselves - if the evidence of the militia service is not in the department, it is not the fault of Mr. Waggoner and does not make his statement in his papers the less earnest.
The reason is I have been informed that he did not (illegible) apply for his pension, is that being possessed of a soldiers spirit, and being always till lately in great circumstances he felt about applying for a pension as long as he could maintain himself, but at length being reduced to poverty, by the persistence of his friends he was induced to make application, which was done a year or two since and failed, after which time, feeling indignant at the ungreatful (ungrateful) treatment (as he imagined) of his government he could not be for a long time prevailed upon to return his application - however at length being urged by necessity and almost starvation and by the (illegible) of his friends he has again (illegible) his application, which is now on file in the department.  He has certainly made application once before although you state there is no evidence in the office of it.  He employed an attorney who made out his papers, sent them on and had returns from them, and afterwards informed Mr. Waggoner that he had failed to get his pension - there must
Page 22

be some mistake in the office about it.
    In conclusion, if Mr. Waggoner obtains his pension at all, it must be from the papers now on file, as he is both unable in strict accordance in the truth and unwilling to make any further statement in the matter, and therefore I have to request that you will reexamine his papers more strictly and allow him such a part of his claim as may appear just and due him., if he should only obtain a part, it would be better than for him to suffer in his old age, but still I am confident he is greatly entitled to his whole claim and that it ought not be denied by a (illegible) our liberal government.

                             Yours

Gentlemen:
Will you kindly advise me if you have any record of the Revolutionary War Military service of my ancestor, Isaac Waggoner. 

He was a native of South Carolina, and I am informed by older members of my family that he served three years in the Revolutionary War.

According to the first census of the United States taken in 1790, he was residing at that time in Chester County, Camden District, South Carolina, and it is quite probable he saw service with the South Carolina troops,

Thanking you for your courtesy in the matter, I am

     I advise you that the Revolutionary War records of this bureau fail to afford any information in regard to a Benjamin Clark (Clarke), who was born 1757 and served with the Massachusetts Troops, and died in 1825 in Naples, New York, nor to a William Given (Givens), who served as a private in the Pennsylvania Militia and died in 1793.
