State of Kentucky ⎬ Set
and Pendleton County}
On this 4th day of March 1833 personally appeared
in open Court, before the Justices of the County
Court of Pendleton now sitting, Gabriel Mullins a
resident of the County of Pendleton and State of
Kentucky aged 75 years and within a few
weeks of 76 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 June 7th 1832
That he was drafted as a minute man^in the militia of Virginia and 
entered in to the service of the United States as a
minute man some time in the years of
1776 or 1777 the year not now recollected
and Served as a private until the close
of the revolutionary war That is to say
he served by holding himself in readiness to
March at a moments warning and did
March as often as he was called on so to do
While in actual service he was generally
engaged in marching from one place to an other
say to any place that it was supposed
that the enemy would attempt to surprise
the Citizens^within the State of Virginia And when it was supposed
that the danger was over he was dismissed
to return home and remain until again
called for which some times happened in
3 or 4 days and some times not sooner than
one or two months he was however seldom
permitted to remain at home more than
one month He does not recollect that
he was stationed at any place more than
a few days except that he was stationed
at the Barrax[Barracks] near Charlottsville Virginia
(near which he was then living) for the purpose
of guarding some prisoners that was kept there
said to have been taken with Burgoyne to
the north of that place. He was engaged in
guarding said prisoners during their stay at
Page 4

the Barrax{Barracks} by guarding them one month and
remaining at home one month (by way of relief
but was sometimes called on to march and did
march to other places during his relief
month he marched to meet and did
meet and assist in guarding said prisoners
to the Barrax[barracks] when they came there
and when they left that place he assisted
in guarding them out of the County of Albermarle 
Virginia He was called out in the year of 1781
when General Washing was making arrangements
to invest Lord Cornwallace at Little York
in Virginia and marched under the command
of Captain Hamler as my captain and
Colonel Lindsey destined for Little York Va
but when they were in a short distance
(say 20 or 30 miles) of Little York there came
an express giving information that Tarlton
was likely to get at some armes[sic] which he
thinks was at a place called Westham a
Short distance above Richmond and
distroy them and do other mischief
There was one Captain ordered to proceed
to the place and secure the armes[sic] Captain
Hamber his Captain and his company by
order proceeded to the place where the
armes[sic] was and removed them 70 or 80 miles
up James River to a Merchant Mill called
he thinks Weairs Mills and put the arms
in the mill when he and the company
was dismissed to go home and to guard
the prisoners which he continued to do until
the surrender of Lord Corn Wallace and until
the prisoners was removed from the Barrax[Barracks] and
then guarded them out of the County of Albemarle
 Virginia He was not in any battle
during his service. He does not recollect the number
of the Regiment to which he belonged, but recollects
that he entered the service under the command
of Captain James Garland, Leutenant - Wheeler
Page 5

and Ensign Thomas Gath He served at
different times under other company officers
but cannot recollect all of their names but
he does recollect the names of Ensign Wheeler
brother to the Leutenant of the same name
and Liutenant William Jarman and
[illegible]Derett and Captains Benjamin
Wheeler, Nelson, - Tompson - Hamler
Bazie Brown, John Thomas and William
Dolton He recollects that he was at one
time under the command of one Major Martin
no other major now recollected His Colonels who
at different times commanded him was Colonels
John Lindsey and Taylor said Taylor
did most if not all the time command him
at the Barras[barracks?] He does not recollect that
he was at any time attached to the command
of any General officer but supposes that his
Colonel received orders from some of the many
Generals that was in Virginia at that time
He does recollect to have herd of Generals Ennis, 
Mulinburgh, Stevens and many others of the
State of Virginia but never saw them that
he knows of He has Seen General Washington
Steuben, and LaFayette and Supposes
that the troops to which he belonged must ┃
have received their orders some times from
LaFayette Stuban and the Govenor of the
State of Virginia but does not know
as he was seldom in company with a
large army. He was born on the 22nd
day of March 1758 in the County of Albermarle
Virginia and lived in said County and State
until 5 or 6 years after the close of the revolutionary
war when he removed to Madison County
State of Kentucky and resided there for 7 or 8 
years when he removed to Pendleton County
Kentucky where he has ever since resided
Page 6

say 30 or 35 years
He was a minute man
and held himself ready at amments[a minute's?] warning
five years or more not less than five years
and performed Military duty in actual service
three years or more in guarding the prisoners
and marching to the different places to which
he was ordered by his officers He does not
recollect that he ever received a discharge
in writing but believes that he was generally
discharged or dismissed by word of month
by his Captain for the time being
There was a record of his age in an old
family Bible but it has within a few years
been destroyed a bout his house and there
now exists no record of his age that he
knows of but he has a perfect recollection
of his age from so often having seen it
in the Bible until it was destroyed
He has no documentary evidence of his services
except his certificate of oath of allegiance herewith forwarded
and does not know of any living person
by whom he can prove all or any part of his
Services except Humphry Beckett who
he is informed made application for
pension in the State of Virginia and
has lately as a Citizen of Kentucky been
admitted on the pension roll to be
paid in Kentucky The said Beckett
he has been informed is some where in
the State of Ohio and it is extreemly
doubtful whether his evidence can be
had as this applicant and the said
Beckett is estreemly old and infirm
he does however believe that the said
Beckett would recollect having seen
him in the service of the United States
at one or more times unless his memory
has failed him but cannot by any

ever since the year 1780 and have always
believed him to be a man of honesty and
truth and have always understood from
from him that he commenced service
at the commencement of the Revolutionary war
and am prepared to believe any
statement of his services which he would
make on oath bearing the inaccuracies
which might be made in consequence
of his loss of memory which I perceive
to have failed very much within a
few years so much so that I have been
able to remind him of some services
that he had forgot and of some officers
who he had forgot and I do not believe
at this time that he can detail with
certainty all the incidents of his services
nor the exact periods or length of the
different tours but that he can only

Dear Sir:

May I respectfully request such information as you may have
in your office regarding Gabriel Mullins, who served in the
Revolutionary War, from Virginia, and after the war he lived in
Albemarle County, Virginia, he may have lived there until time of his
death, if not, then he removed to Kentucky. Matthew Mullins
served under Capt William Croghan in Col James Woods 8th Virginia
Regiment, and it is very likely that Gabriel Mullins served in the same
company and regiment.
This information is desired for purpose of completing some
family records.

I have to advise you that from the papers in the
Revolutionary War pension claim S. 30608 it appears
that Gabriel (or Gabrel ) Mullins was born March 22,
1758 in Albemarle County, Virginia.
While a resident of his native county he enlisted
in 1776 or 1777, served at various times whenever
called upon, through each succeeding year until in
1782, three years in all, as a private under Captains
James Garland, Benjamin Wheeler, Nelson, Thompson,
Bazel[Brazie] Brown, John Thomas, William Dalton and Hamler,
and Colonels Taylor and John Lindsay in the Virginia
Troops.
About six years after the close of the war he
moved to Madison County, Kentucky and then to Pendleton
County, Kentucky where he was allowed pension on
his application executed March 4, 1833.
There is no data on file as to his family.
Respectfully,

Acting Commissioner.
