State of North Carolina
Granville County
Superior Court of Law
September Term 1832

On this 5th day of September AD 1832 personally appeared in open court before the Honorable James Martin a Judge of the Superior Courts of Law and Courts of Equity of the State aforesaid now sitting for the County and State aforesaid Sowell Frazier a citizen of Stokes County and State aforesaid who being first duly sworn according to law doth on this 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 militia under the following officers and served as herein stated viz
He was drafted in the infantry in Granville County and entered into service under Captain William Gillian [illegible] Harrison Lieutenant and Peter Badgett ensign. William Moore was Colonel, Elijah Moore major.
We were first under the command of Genl Butler and afterwards were placed under the command of Gen'l Davidson.
In service in this campaign we marched from Granville through Hillsborough and to Bells Mill where we halted for a few days. Thence we marched through Sailsbury by Phifers Mills to the neighborhood of Charlotte in Mecklenburg County. Our service was in the neighborhood of Charlotte and round about in that County.
And after the capture of the Tories at [illegible]geley's Mills by Morgan I was sent with a detachment to Salisbury in charge of the prisoners.
While stationed on the Yadkin I was one of detachment who were sent to the shallow ford under the command of Col. Armstrong Maj Pugh and Richard Harrison Captain against the Tories.
The enemy having been attacked and defeated by the light
Page 4

horse just before we reached the battle ground we thence marched to Salem and thence to headquarters on the Yadkin.
I have erroneously stated this affair at the shallow ford to have taken place while we were stationed with the prisoners on the Yadkin. It did not take place then but when we were on our march to join the army and before the prisoners were put in our charge.
Our term of service having expired about the 15th of December we were marched under our officers to the Allemance Creek where we were discharged and each man had his discharge delivered to him. This has been lost or destroyed long since. Our term of service was for three months ths which we fully served.
The next tour of duty I served in was as a volunteer on a three month service. I was commanded by Peter Bennett as Captain and Mornas Grant as Lieutenant. Drury Smith had the supreme command. We were sent into Virginia on the Roanoke River on an expedition to catch fish for the army. This duty was early in the spring of 1787. It was immediately after the battle of Guilford and the fish was designed for the use of the army under General Greene. After we werved our full term of three months and were discharged but my discharge has been long lost or mislaid.
Sowell further states that he was born in the County of Bertie of North Carolina on the 9th day of April 1764. I have no register of my age except that which I have made in my own bible from the information derived from my parents. I am also informed by them that they removed
Page 5

to Granville within six weeks after my birth. I married at the age of seventeen and moved at twenty westward settled in Surry now Stokes North Carolina where I now live.
Several tours of duty can be proved by James Terry and Allen Howard two citizens of granville County who both served in each town with this affiant.
He humbly relinquishes every claim to a pension or an annuity except the present and he declares that his name is not on the pension roll of any agency or any State of Territory.
Sowell Frazer
Sworn to and subscribed the day and year aforesaid

We James Terry and Allen Howard residing

BOUNTY LAND CLAIM

-
my
Act March 3. 1833.
This declaration must be accompt
panied by satisfactory proof of the marriage, of the husband's death, and the present widow
hood of the claimant. If there be a public record of the marriage, a duly certified copy of it should be forwarded, if possible. If
there be none but a private or family record, such family record, or a certified copy of the same, should be forwarded, with the
affidavit of some disinterested persons proving the genuineness of the original and the correctness of the copy. If no public or private
record of the marriage exist, or can be procured, that fact should be set forth in the declaration; and in such case, other evidences
such as the testimony of persons who knew the parties in the lifetime of the husband, and knew them to cohabit as husband and wife,
and to be so reputed -- will be admissible.
In no case, however, will the mere statement of witnesses that the claimant is the widow of the deceased be taken as
evidence of the marriage; but the witnesses must state the facts and circumstances from which they derive their knowledge or opinion
that she is the widow of the deceased.

Dear Sir:

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Sowell ( or Lowell ) Frazer
R. 3767
BA-J/MLE
Reference is made to a personal request made May 25, 1939, by Mr.
Oliver A. Duff, that the Revolutionary War record of Sowell or Lowell
Frazer or Frazier, R. 37677, be sent to you.
The data which follow in regard to Sowell (or Lowell) Frazer or
Frazier were obtained from the claims for pension and bounty land on
file under R. 3767, based upon his service in the Revolutionary War.
Sowell or Lowell Frazer or Frazier was born April 9, 1764, in
Bertie County, North Carolina. His parents, whose names are not shown,
moved within six weeks after his birth to Granville County, same state.
While residing in Granville County, North Carolina, Sowell or Lowell
Frazer or Frazier enlisted and served three months in Captain William
Gillian's company, Colonel William Moore's North Carolina regiment; a
part of this tour he served in a detachment under Captain Richard
Harrison and Colonel Armstrong on an expedition to take prisoners to
Salisbury, and was discharged December 15 year not given. He volunteered
early in the spring of 1781 and served between two and three months
under Captain Peter Bennett on an expedition to the Roanoke River in
Virginia, to catch fish for General Greene's army.
The soldier was allowed pension on his application executed September
5, 1832, at which time he was a resident of Stokes County, North Carolina
. Upon reexamination of his claim, his name was dropped from
the pension rolls, as it was decided that the last three months' tour
of service was not in a military capacity, and the pension law under
which he applied required six months' actual service in a military
organization. He died March 18, 1851, in Forsyth County, North Carolina.

Sir
I have the honor to inform you that the ap 
plication of Sarah Frazier widow of Lowell of
N.C. has been examined, filed under the Acts
of Feby 3 1853 and disallowed.
Her husband was pensioned under the
act of June 7 1832 for 6 months service by
claimed by himself.  His name was afterward
struck from the roll of pensioners because it
was evident that he had not served as long
as six months. -- Her claim can not therefore
be allowed unless she can prove that her hus
band did render 6 month's service.

Sir

In reply to your letter
of the 3d inst in the case of
Sowell Frazer I have to inform
your
that his pension has been
discontinued because the last to
alleged to have been performed
by him as a volunteer
was not in a military capacity,
and his service in his first alleged
tour and only other tour was of
but three months duration
The art
of 7 June 1832 requires at least six
month service in a military capacity under
one or more terms of service
It would appear that in March 1781
a draft was about being made and
to avoid a draft a number of persons
who belong to Captain Bennetts company
of militia of whom Frazer was one of volunteered in March 1781, to catch
fish for the use of the Army.  This was a part of his alleged Service.  There is
another [illegible] objection to the claim.
Page 27

It is found on referring to testimony in the
case of a person named Allen Howard, that
those who were engaged in procuring fish
for the army, in the Spring of 1781, were so engaged only a little
over two months.  The whole time that
Frazer was in service in a military capacity
including that employed in fishing was therefore less than six
months.  The claim was in the first instance
improperly allowed.

I have to advise you from the papers in the
Revolutionary War pension claim, R. 3763, it appears
that Sowell or Lowell Frazer or Frazier was
born April 9, 1764 in Bertie County, North Carolina
.
While residing in Granville County, North Carolina
in 1780, he served three months under
Captain William Gillian and Colonel William Moore
in the North Carolina Troops.
In the spring of 1781, he served three months
under Captain Peter Bennett and went to the Roanoke
River in Virginia, and caught fish for the army.
He was allowed pension on his application exeecuted
September 5, 1832, while a resident of Stokes
Page 32

County, North Carolina, but upon a reexamination of
Jane
his claim, he was dropped from the rolls, as was decided that
last three months' tour was not in a military capacity,
and the pension law under which he applied required six
months actual service in a military organization.
He died March 18, 1851 in Forsyth County, North Carolina
.
Soldier married April 29, 1833 in Stokes County,
North Carolina, Sarah Davis. She was allowed bounty
land on her application executed September 6, 1855,
while a resident of Forsyth County, North Carolina,
aged fifty-four years. The bounty land act under
which she applied requiring only fourteen days
military service.
Soldier stated in 1832, that he was married,
when he was nineteen years old, the name of this
wife is not on file.

The claims of William Taburn, Allen Howard, Lowell Frazer,
Fowler Jones and James Terry transmitted to this Dep. by W. M.
Sneed have been examined, and the papers of Taburn and Howard
are herewith returned accompanied by a brief in each case. The
objections are contained in the negative answers in red ink,
given to the questions. The three months tour of service performed
by Howard in the spring of 1781 in catoning fish, cannot
taken into consideration in the investigation of his claim,
said service not having been in the performance of military duty
Lowell Frazer performed one tour of three months in the performance
of duty with Howard in catoning fish and as he performed
only one other tour of three months his claim cannot be allowed.
The service performed by James Terry and Fowler Jones having been
for a less period than six months their claims cannot be
one.
The Revolutionary pension laws provide for none no
did not perform an actual service of at least six months.
