Before the Honorable Rezia Davidge Judge of the Calloway Circuit court and state aforesaid, now sitting, Kimbrough Ogilvie, a resident of said county and state aforesaid, aged sixty nine years since 14th January last, who being first duly sworn 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 American States under the following named officers, and served as herein states.  Kimbrough Ogilvie states, that he was born in Granville County State of North Carolina January 14 1763; has received his age transcribed from his fathers register—that in February 1781 at the Iron works in Orange County he joined Greene’s army  [illegible] he volunteered under Capt William Hicks in said [this] country of Granville [Orange]--  His legion was Harrison, his Colonel Jospeh Taylor & his Brigade General Butler.  After this rendezvous in Granville [Orange] he was marched for General Greene’s army and joined the same near Guilford Court House.  He was still kept in Col Taylors Regiment and under him he fought at the Battle of Guilford – after the battle recovered a short distance from the British army and where they took up the line of march,  the Americans pursued until low down in Randolph County where he was discharged--- He was about on this tour something more than three months but it was only counted a three month tour----
                            In the month of September following he again volunteered under Captain --High—his major

Was the same—Harrison & the same Colonel Joseph Taylor- Here he filled the station of a orderly Sergeant and was marched from the County of Granville to Lanes Bluff within two miles of Wilmington North Carolina---Whilst at the Lanes Bluff heard that Cornwallis had surrender and by the order of General Butler, was discharged-He received his discharge but has forgotten who signed his first one, but Ephraim Washington signed the last one & having lost or mislaid them both has to rely on his memory alone--- This time was one of three months either over or wanting a few days. From Granville Court N.C. in the year 1795 he moved to Williamson County Tennessee.  There he resided 15 years.  Then to Bedford County in the same state of Tennessee   There he resided 20 years—two years since he moved to his present residence---Andrew Andrews, Robert Ragsdale and John Ragsdale knew him in the aforesaid Counties and will testify as to his general character for veracity and that he was a reputed soldier of the revolution and this is the only testimony he knows of except more of the same kind, which he can produce or procure to establish his claim to payment for his service----He further states that when he entered the service as a soldier he was entitled to nine pound two shillings North Carolina Currency for months service and as a sergeant was promised fourteen pound twelve shillings for the month of the same currency, not one cent of which did he ever receive.  He hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension or annuity except the present, & declares his name is not

Dear Sir:
	According to a 1927 Lineage Book, there is mention of Kimbrough Tinsley Ogilvie (1763-1842), who enlisted in 1781, serving under Capt. Wm. Hicks and Col. Joseph Taylor, North Carolina troops and was engaged in the battle of Guilford Courthouse.  He was granted pension.  Will you give me further information regarding this man, including names of his children?
I am interested in obtaining information concerning John Putman of Randolph County, North Carolina.  I do not have his dates, nor am I positive whether he received pension or bounty land.  If your files afford data, I shall appreciate your giving me the information contained thereon.  I have record of Benjamin Putman, too and would like to know his record in your office.
How would you suggest that I secure a list of all Putman men who enlisted in the Revolutionary War from North Carolina?
Thank you for any information that you may furnish me from that department.
