On this 30 day of Nov. [November] 1833 personally appeared before me a Judge and Justice of the peace in and for the County Court for the County aforesaid, Robt [Robert] Luckey a resident of Ky [Kentucky] Bourbon County aged seventy-three years 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 7th of June 1832. That he entered the services of the U S under the following named officers and served as herein stated. 

He says he was born on the 6th of Feb. [February] 1760 in the State of North Carolina [^ Roan County] [Rowan County] and lived there till the war commenced. And in the year 1778 in the fall he thinks in Septr [September] he entered the service of the U S as a volunteer for six months as a private soldier under Captain Wm [William] Johnstone & General Rutherford [Griffith Rutherford]. Rendezvoused at Third Creek Meeting house and from this place marched down towards the lower end of the State near Cheraw Hills and Cross Creek after the Tories as there were a great many and were very troublesome in this Country and so continued ranging through the Country to keep the disaffected from ravaging the Country during this Tour we had no battle with them but kept them in awe. He says he continued in the service till his six months were out he then recd [received] a written discharge [^ from his Captain] but have lost it. The next Tour was from same place as a volunteer in Captain Armstrong's Company one tour of three months (& under General Lincoln) rendezvoused at the same place as before as it was a public place and muster was held there. And marched immediately on to the South and joined the southern Army in the neighborhood of Ashley River at this place we continued some time until the British had fortified a place called Stono in South Carolina [Battle of Stono Ferry June 20, 1779]. He says he was in the neighborhood when the battle took place at Stono but having taken charge of a team owned by Andrew Bell as he was paroled and went home. He states that he went into the service on this tour in the month of May 1779 as he thinks, but being very old and having lost his memory pretty much, he cannot say with certainty whether he is right as to the time he entered the service on the tour above, but knows he done the time as above named. And after the battle at Stono (we having been beaten at that place) he says he was discharged by his Captain and returned home having recd [received] a written
Page 4

discharge but has lost it having on this tour served from the time he entered until discharged three months and discharged for that time. The next Tour was for three months as a volunteer under Captain Armstrong Wm [William] Stewart Majr [Major] to march against the Tories at Ramsour's Mill in North Carolina [June 20, 1780]. He says they marched on to that place and had a conflict with the Tories and Armstrong was killed at this place he says we drove and dislodged the Tories from their place of security as they thought. And after this battle he says he was discharged and rec’d [received] no written discharge having been in service three months from the time he left home until he returned home these services were performed as he thinks in 1779, but the particular month not recollected. The next Tour was for three months under Captain Causen [? Cowan?] Mjr [Major] Rutherford (a son of the old General) in the above year as a volunteer in a horse company he thinks in the fall and winter of that year, was principally engaged in the County of Rowan and the adjoining Counties and some in the South endeavoring to subdue the Tories and continued in active service for three months from the time he left home till discharged. Recd [Received] a written discharge but have lost it. The next Tour was for six months as a volunteer from same place in Captain Dickson's [^ Company] and General Green [Nathanael Greene] who succeeded General Gates in the year 1780 as he thinks and commenced our march to [words scratched out] the Catawba River and had a conflict with the British as they were endeavoring to cross the River but so soon as the British broke loose with their cannon we were compelled to retreat at this place General Davidson [William Lee Davidson killed at the battle of Cowan’s Ford February 1, 1781] was killed and remained in the service under the above officers was along in Greene [recrossed ?] the Dan [River] and remembers well of having a battle with the Tories under the command of Colonel Pyle the Loyalist crying out God save the King, this he thinks was in the month of February or March 178[1] he says he was at the battle of Guilford and remembers well of the British having caused Green to retreat with his army to Speedwell Ironworks some short distance from Guilford. After this battle he says he [was] discharged by his Captain but has lost it remembering well that he was sent home with some boys that had the smallpox. He also remembers of another three months at Charlotte Town in the year 1781 as he thinks under Captain Cowan and at was at the battle at that place served out his time spying in ranging the Country till his time was out and was discharged But have lost it.
Page 5

He says that during these times no man can tell the hardships we saw while after the Tories it is however unnecessary to say anything on that subject: He says putting all his tours together should make twenty-five months or upwards of active service he rendered in the Revolutionary War for which he claims a pension. He says that the British encamped near his father's in North Carolina and destroyed everything they had and left them [no] clothing or anything to eat. He says he is now old and must soon die and if it is the pleasure of the government to give him anything he will be thankful. [sentence scratched out]

He has stated where he was born & when etc. He says he has a record of his age. He has also stated where he was living when he was called into the service. He says also that he was a volunteer on every tour he served and served as a private soldier during all the time. He says he remembers a number of the officers in the Army during the time he served. He says he knew Greene, Sumter, Lincoln, Morgan, Ohara, Rutherford & Major Rutherford a son of the old man, Colonel Davie and many others. He says as he has done he did on some occasions received a discharge but have lost them all and thinks they were all given by his Captain. He says he never had a commission but served during the time as a private soldier. He says he knows of John Rash a clergyman residing in his neighborhood and Alexander Stewart residing in same and both of whom can state as to his character for veracity and the belief of the neighborhood as to his having been a soldier of the Revolutionary war. He says he has no documentary evidence [words scratched out] [^and neither can he] prove his service. [words scratched out] He hereby relinquishes all and 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. He says he moved from Maryland [interlined words illegible]. Sworn to and subscribed the day and year aforesaid.

Gentlemen [written through] only me

Please send me your date, on Robert Lucky (or Luckie) Mrs. Ardery, A Kentucky historian, states in her book that Robert Lucky served in the “Virginia line” and his record is dated (pension application, I presume) April 28, 1934. He came from Virginia, Shenandoah I believe, and lived in Bourbon County. I also have the record of one Robert Luckey in Bourbon who executed his application November 30, 1833. Are they one and the same or two different men? He, too, lived in the County of Bourbon in Kentucky, and I have your transcript of his service in North Carolina.

Do you have a pension application for David Holcomb Bailey for 1812, service? He was a member of the Norfolk Barracks and died in Missouri about 1850. Also, do you have any pension data on one William Crump – War of 1812?

I shall appreciate any data that you can give me on any of these soldiers.

Cordially yours, 
Bailey Davis

Dear Sir: 

Reference is made to your letter in which you desire to know whether the citations you furnish in regard to Robert Lucky (or Luckie) pertain to one and the same person, or to two different men, and request that the data on file in this office relative to a Revolutionary War soldier of that name be furnished you with the records of David Holcomb Bailey who was a member of the Norfolk Barracks and died about 1850 in Missouri, also of William Crump, both soldiers of the War of 1812. 

There are no claims for pension on file based upon service in the War of 1812 of a David Bailey of Virginia and Missouri who died about 1850, or of any William Crump, all spellings of their surnames searched. It is suggested that information in regard to the military service of those two soldiers might be obtained from the Adjutant General, War Department, this city. 

Your various citations relative to Robert Lucky or Luckie pertain to one and the same Revolutionary War soldier, namely, Robert Luckey ( S. 38157), whose record is furnished you herewith. It is that of the only soldier of the name Robert Luckey, under any spelling, found in the Revolutionary War records of this office, and has been recorded, erroneously as having served in the Va. troops.
