State of Virginia, Prince Edward County, to wit:
On this the 13th day of August one thousand eight hundred and thirty-two, personally appeared before me Lillious D Womack a justice of the peace for the said county. John Dupuy in the seventy-seventh year of his age and a resident of said county and state, who being first 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 officers and served as herein stated, viz: In the early part of June 1776 J was called into service, in what was called the Minute Men or State Troops as a volunteer. My company officers were Capt Charles Allen, Lieutenant Joseph Parks and Ensign James Allen.  Col. Merryman was a field officer, and a man by the name of Overton was Major or Captain. I marched with the company from Prince Edward Court House to Richmond thence to Williamsburg thence to Hampton where the army was stationed untill Christmas, when I was discharged, and I returned home making in this tour about seven months. In the next year 1777 about the months of May or June, a draft was made and the young (unmarried) men by a Law of the State requiring a service of one year, as regular soldiers, regular service, under which draft I became a soldier for this time. I hired a substitute by the name of Estis to whom I paid four hundred dollars $400. These troops marched somewhere to the North to join the army. My substitute I have never seen or heard from since.

Some time in the next year 1778 there was an alarm in our [illegible] at that time. I held a Commission in my Company at home, which I resigned and enlisted as a private soldier in a volunteer company. Commanded by the said first named Charles Allen and marched to Petersburg where we were on a tour of about a month or two, sometime very early in the year 1781, say January or February, I volunteered in a Company in the aforesaid County commanded by Capt. John Bibb in which Company I held the office of Lieutenant, in a short Bibb resigned and Nathanial Cunningham was Commissioned in his stead. I marched with the Company from Pr. Edward Court house to Irvin's Ferry in Halifax County Virginia and there joined Gen. Greens [Greenes] army. was attached to Col. Locke's regiment and Gen Steven's Brigade, the Army Marched thence to Guilford court house N. Carolina where they were engaged in a Battle with Cornwallis. My second day after the Battle I was recalled to take charge of some prisoners and convey them to Halifax Court house Va and deliver them to Nat Hunt who was stationed there to receive them, which service I did from thence according to the order of Gen Stevens I returned home, this tour was two, three or four months. Very soon after returning home I was ordered to Halifax County Va to receive a parcel of arms, which had been brought there from the Guilford battle and
Page 10

convey them to Pr. Edward Court House. The time [illegible] to execute this order I do not recollect. Some time in the same year 1781, I believe in August I was ordered to take charge of some wounded prisoners which had been brought from Guilford to Prince Edward Court house and convey to Gen. Lafayette who was stationed in King William County near Ruffin's ferry on Pamunkey river, where I recieved his orders to convey them to Williamsburg which I did and at the request of  [illegible] office then carried them to Jamestown and delivered them on board a Brittish ship. to do this last service occupied about one month. I know no person or persons living by whom I can positively prove the whole of my services.
