Fauquier County, Virginia
On this 24 day of December 1827, personally
appeared in open court, it being a Court of record, made so by the laws of Virginia, proceeding according to the course of the 
Common law, with jurisdiction unlimited in amount, and having
the power of fine & [imprisonment?] John Dulin, resident in said 
County, aged seventy four years and more, who being duly
sworn according to law, doth on his oath make  the following
declaration, in order to obtain the provision made by the act
of Congress of the 18th March 1818 & the 1st of May 1820, that
the said John Dulin enlisted for the term of one year in 1775,
in a company commanded by Capt. Wm Pickell in the Culpeper
minute Battalion commanded by Col Lawrence Taliaferro, Col 
Edward Stevens & Major Thomas Marshall, that he then said 
John Dulin afterwards in the spring of 1776 at Fauquier court
house, Virginia, enlisted in the Company of Capt. John Chilton
in the 3rd Virginia Regiment, then commanded by Col. Hugh Mercer & subsequently by Col. Weadon & Col Thomas Marshall
in the line of the state of Virginia, on continental establishment
for the term of one year, that he continued to serve in the said Corps
until the end of the term of his enlistment, when he was discharged
from the service, near Valley Forge, in the state of Pennsylvania, by
Col. Thomas Marshall, that he hereby relinquishes every claim
whatever to a pension, except the present, that his name is not
on the roll of any state, that he was in the battle at Gwins Island 
that the following are the reasons for not making earlier application for a pension: that until within twelve months
although much embarrassed he derived the means of subsistence 
from his property real & personal, that within that time the
necessity of providing for the payment of his debts, rendered difficult 
by the costs & expences attending them by the immense diminution
of the products of the soil, and the depreciation of property of every
description, he has been reduced to indigence and to appeal 
to his country.
And in pursuance of the act of the 1st May 1820, I do
solemnly swear that I was a resident citizen of the United States
on the 18th day of March 1818, and that I have not since that
time, by gift, sale, or any manner disposed of my property,
or any part thereof, with intent thereby so to diminish it as to
bring myself within the provision of an act of Congress, entitled
"An act to provide for certain persons engaged in the land and 
naval service of the United States in the Revolutionary War."
passed on the 18th day of March 1818; and that I have not, nor has 
any person in trust for me, any property, or securities, contracts or debts
due to me;
Page 4

[obscured] applied to the payment of sundry executions in the hands of the Sheriff of Fauquier amounting with a note of $9.16/100, and sundry fee bills in his hands against me to $859.10/100 as will more fully appear by his statement hereunto annexed.  That the balance of $43.81/100 was paid by the said Clarkson in cash and has been expended in necessaries for myself & family.  That I was also possessed of several kinds of person property all of which was delivered up to the Sheriff of Fauquier (as will more fully appear by the schedule annexed) on the 1st day of October 1827 for the satisfaction of sundry executions under which he then had me in custody.  Whereupon I took the oath of an insolvent debter and was discharged, which last will appear by the Certificate of the magistrate before whom the oath was taken.  That I have no property, of any kind, that I am a farmer, that from my advanced age, I am unable to pursue the occupation;  that my family consists of a wife aged seventy years & a daughter exceeding thirty years;  that since the disposal of my property, I and they cannot support ourselves with tolerable comfort, not even by bodily labour.  That I have no claim upon my daughter, and that I am in such indigent circumstances as to solicit the help of my country for support.

Sir
I herewith transmit the proof of my service in the Revolutionary war. I have been delayed in collecting the said proof, by a variety of circumstances, some of which will be hereafter mentioned.
The irregularities of the dates & information belonging to the affidavit of Cox marked B. proceeded in the first place from his recent removal from the neighborhood where he had lived for many years; 2ndly from W Tidball, the nearest magistrate, being unacquainted with said Cox and 3rdly from the removal (to a distant part of the country) of Mr. Chilton who formerly lived in the neighborhood of said Cox.
Thus the removal, & dispersed situations of the persons called on have produced both the delay; and the inequalities & informalities to be observed.

Sir:

I beg leave respectfully to request, that you will be pleased to furnish me with such information, as may be obtained from the files and records of your office, that relates to Charles Dulin of (the State) Virginia, who served as a private soldier during the latter part of the war of the Revolution. He was quite a youth at the time he entered the service and was present with the army under Washington when Lord Cornwallis surrendered at Yorktown Va.

I have also to request that I be furnished with all information in possession of your office relating to William D. Dulin, of the State of Va, who was represented in the war of 1812 at first by Substitute, and afterwards as a Volunteer private soldier for the defense of the National Capitol. His battalion proceeded with all dispatch to Washington but arrived, I believe, too late to participate in the Battle
Page 31

known in history as the "Bladensburg Races." The battalion proceeded to the defense of Baltimore City and remained in the service until after the Battle of North Point (Fort McHenry).
The first named Charles Dulin is my great grandather - the last names Wm. E. Dulin is my grandfather, and the information requested is for a Family Record in course of preparation; and is not, either nearly or remotely to be connected with any litigation whatever, nor is it liable to be used for any other purpose that what is herein stated.

I am Sir,
Very respectfully,
Your Obedt. Servant
James C. Dulin

This letter does not apparently belong in this case but as there is an underestimate on the jacket of its having been answered, I have left it there.
