State of Indiana County of Marion Ss
On this 14 day of August, 1830, personally appeared in Open Court, before the honorable John C. Hume Sole Judge of the Probate Court of the County of Marion aforesaid, now sitting, John Faucett a resident of the County and State aforesaid, aged 81 years on the 10th of August Inst., who being first duly sworn, according to law, doth on his oath make the following declaration, in order to obtain the benefit of the provisions made by the Act of Congress, passed June 7, 1832 —
1st That in the State of Pennsylvania in the summer of 1777, to the best of the declarant’s recollection, being the summer previous to the tour proved by the deposition of Francis Dunlavy, which is hereunto prefixed, he volunteered and entered the service of the United States as a private militiaman, at a neighborhood then called Beason’s Town, for one month, about 12 miles from the Old Redstone Fort, to which last mentioned place he was immediately marched where he was stationed, and acted as a guard and ranger during the month aforesaid, to prevent surprise from the hostile Indians who at that period committed frequent outrages against the frontiers, the declarant recollects and well knows that he served at the aforesaid Fort and in its vicinity during this tour at least one month, but this being the first tour ever performed by him, owing to the great space of time since intervened, & an almost total loss of memory he is now unable to state the name of a solitary officer under whom he then served. And until the declarant’s recollection was refreshed by the aforesaid deposition of Mr. Dunlavy he was scarcely able to relate any of the particulars of his next succeeding tours The aforesaid Fort being an establishment for the defence of the frontiers, it was garrisoned by the Militia only, the declarant was therefore in Company with no regular soldiers nor was he in any engagements during the aforesaid tour. Does not recollect that he recd. any written discharge — (1 mo)
2nd In the summer following the above tour, at the place above named, where he first entered the service, being in the summer of 1778, as he is informed by the above said deposition of the Hon F Dunlavy, (to which for proof positive of this part of the applicant’s declaration refference is made,) he entered as a substitute for one month, in the place of One Jacob Beason, and as a private soldier into the Militia Service fo the United States. The declarant about the first of August was marched in a company of frontier
Page 4

Militia under the command of Lieut John Springer to Old Fort Pitt and was encamped on Grants Hill for some days when Lieut Springers Company was attached to a company of regular Soldiers of the Virginia line under the command of Captain Ferrill. The No. of Regiment from which Captain Ferrill’s Co. had been detached or who was the commander thereof is unknown to this declarant except who he knows by the aforesaid deposition —
From Grants Hill we were immediately marched under Capt Ferrill to Wheeling Fort there Garrisoned by a Militia Company under the Command of Capt Daniel Cressup. That he continued at Fort Wheeling but a short period, say 2 or 3 weeks, doing ranging duty for a number of miles in different directions from said Fort, when as stated in Mr. Dunlavy’s deposition, Lieut Springer returned with the men in his charge to Fort Pitt, leaving Capt Ferrill and the regular Soldiers under his command at Wheeling. On arriving at Fort Pitt this declarant with the other men under Lieut Springer was discharged from the service, he, the declarant, having been therein, including the time of his march from home, and time he was encamped on Grants Hill previous to being joined by Mr Dunlavy, as the declarant thinks, and is confident, one and a half months or upwards — He recd. a written discharge from Lieut Springer aforesaid — Was in no battle during this tour of service (1 mo 15 da)
3d — Some time in the summer of 1779 being the summer following the tour last aforesaid, the declarant still residing at Beasons Town aforesaid, there being a call for Militia volunteers to march as Indian Spies and rangers to the frontier settlements on Buffalo Creek to the South East of Wheeling, near where the Penna. and Virginia State line has since been established, he again volunteered & as a private Soldier joined a Militia Company that had been raised and put under the command of Capt James Daugherty — The declarant was immediately marched under this Capt to a post called Ramsay’s Fort on Buffalo Creek on the extreme frontier of the White Settlements — At Fort Ramsay, although no actual fighting was done while this declarant continued there, yet his services were constant & extremely fatiguing — consisting in continual scouts & marches for the protection of the farmers who were endeavoring by their industry to provide a supply of provisions for approaching winter. At this period the neighborhood at Fort Ramsay relied upon, & was wholley guarded by the Militia Companies most contiguous to the frontiers, who used alternately to relieve each other after having served out the tours for which
Page 5

they had respectively volunteered or had been drafted. The relief expected at the expiration of this applicants tour of service, not arriving in due time the company was detained & he still done ranging duty for 5 or 6 days after his 2 months had actually expired — On being relieved by a new recruit of of Militia the company under Capt Daugherty was discharged & this declarant immediately returned home having been in the service 65 days or upwards. Recd a written discharge from his Captain, was in no battle, nor in company with any regular soldiers (2 months)
4th A few days after he arrived at home this declarant and one Isaac Patton were drafted for one month to go to the relief of VanMeeters Fort or Station on Short Creek between Buffalo where he had performed his last tour of service & Wheeling — They being put as private soldiers into a company brought from the Sandy Creek Glades — the declar. having had no privous acquaintance with this company or its officers & being with the same but a short time, he is now unable to give any of their names. After arriving at VanMeters Fort where one of the VanMeeters commanded he done ranging and and scouting duty as on his former campaigns — Owing to Superior knowledge which the inhabtants at the Fort possessed of the Woods, he was nearly always under their command, which he presumes is the cause of his totally forgetting the names of the officers under whom he was marched to that Fort — He was frequently on scouts into the neighborhood of Wheeling, in the direction of Ramsay Fort and in other direction as it was then necessary to keep up the appearance [of] strength and numbers — He was in no engagement nor in company with any regular soldiers during this tour Having served one month was dismissed from the service without receiving a written discharge — (1 mo)
5th The declarant thinks it was in May or June 1780 or 81 that he entered at Beasons Town aforesaid as a private militiaman and joined a company under Capt Pierce of the Pa. Militia. He is however wholly unable by reason of his loss of memory to state with certainty either the month or year when he performed this tour; But he well knows it was at the time Fort McIntosh was erected by General McIntosh on at the mouth of Big Beaver on the Ohio River — It was also privous to Crawfords defeat at Sandusky to the best of his recollection. He was marched under Capt Pierce with a view to join the regular soldiers under Genl McIntosh then at Fort Pitt but this applicant falling Sick on the road did not arrive at said Fort until 3 or 4 days after his company had left that place with McIntosh’s Army. At Fort Pitt the declarant fell in company with Col Robert Bell of the Continental anney
Page 6

and 2 private militiamen by the name of Whitaker. The Col having recently had his horse stolen was compelled to join this declarant and the two Individuals last named in performing the trip on foot from Fort Pitt to the mouth of Big Beaver, which they did on the Monongahela side of the Ohio. Col Bell being an Old aquaintance of the declarant’s father & unaccustomed to travelling on foot, the declarant carried his portmanteaus & most of his other luggage for him. At the mouth Beaver he continued 6 months, assisted in clearing the ground & erecting Fort McIntosh, or acted as a spy & Guard while the regular soldiers performed the work at the Fort. In fact the militia being considered the better Woodsmen done most of the scouting duty. Having lay at Fort McIntosh during the whole term of 6 months, at the expiration of which the said fort was scarcely completed, when he recd from Capt. Pierce a written discharge from the service & returned home. He was in company with the regular soldiers under Genl McIntosh & Col Bell as above stated but was in no engagement during their campaign — 6 mos.
6th The declarant upon further reflection believes that the fifth and last tour above was performed in the summer of 1781 for he now recollects he as a private volunteer performed a two months tour in a Militia company under Lieutenant Springer above named in the summer of 1780 as he now thinks, & of which he is pretty confident, as it was to the best of his recollections in the summer after he had been drafted & taken to VanMeeters Fort, as stated above in the account given of his 4th campaign — He well recollects that under this engagement he was marched under Lieut Springer to Old Ft. Pitt, Thence after having continued some days to Wheeling, from thence he was marched on ranging duty to an VanMeeters fort on Short Creek, & to Ramsay's post on Buffalo — Having served under Lieut Springer in the vicinity of these forts for 2 mos including the time spent at Ft. Pitt, and during all which time the Applicant was in Active service, he was marched back to said Fort and discharged having been in the service two months — He was in no battle Company with Militia only during this campaign Recd a discharge from this Lieut — (2 mos)
Beside the time above stated the applicant frequently was in the service of the U.S. He performed a number of trips as the driver of pack horses across to Fort Pitt under William Gahagin all which [illegible] have amounted to at least 4 months, beside other tours of ranging duty of which he has so confused a recollection that he is unable to give any particular account of the same. He is very confident that if his services were correctly made out they would amount to much more than is here stated. —
For his first tour he claims 1 Mo. — for the 2d 1 mo 15 da  For the 3d 2 ms 5 ds for the 4th 1 mo — For the 5th 6 mos For the 6th 2 months making in
Page 7

All 13 mths & 20 days
For answer to the several interogatories prescribed by the war department he says as
1st He was born in GreenBrier, now Green Brier Co Va in 1752
2d He has no record of his age
3d He was living in the Alleghany Mountains Pa., at a place called a Beason's Town at each time of entering the service. — He has since (a)
4th For his first, Third, fifth, and sixth tours he volunteered. For his 2d tour he hired as a substitute — And for his 4th tour he was drafted as above stated —
5th For the names of officers the declarant refers to the preceding part of this declaration, as well as for the general circumstances of his services, & continental & Militia Soldiers with whom he served. And he would here state that for the date of his second compaign he is indebted to his Old Friend Judge Dunley of Warren Co Ohio whose deposition is prefixed; and it is from this deposition he presumes to be correct that he has fixed the date of his other tours by ascertaining as nearly as he could this order which of time in which he rendered his other services —
6th He did receive discharges from his 2d 3d 5th & 6th tours of of service only, which given as herein before stated all which are lost and destroyed —
7th He has no dockumentary [sic] evidence and he knows of no person whose testimony he can procure who can swear positive to his service except Francis Dunlavey of Warren County Ohio whose deposition he has procured & which is prefixed by which he makes positive proof of his 2d tour of service. There is no Clergyman in his vicinity sufficiently acquainted with the declarant to make the certificate required by the regulations of the the war department, but he would name to this Court Absalom Payne and Aaron Homan respectable witnesses to whom he is well known in his present neighborhood & to whom he was for many years well known in Warren Co Ohio, who can testify to this declarants character for for veracity and to their belief of his services as a soldier of the revolution — He hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension or annuity, except the present, and declares that his name is not [on] the pension roll of any agency of any State of or Territory —

Before the subscriber an acting Justice of the Peace within and for the County and State aforesaid, personally came on this seventeenth day of July in the year of our Lord Eighteen
Hundred and Thirty Three Francis Dunlavy a citizen of the county and State aforesaid, who
being by me duly sworn, deposeth and saith that
he is upwards of seventy years of age, and that he has known John Faucett, formerly of this County, now of Indiana for fifty years and upwards - that he knows said Faucett to have served as a private soldier during the revolutionary war. That on or about the fifteenth day of August in the year, seventeen hundred and seventy eight he this deponent was put under the command of Lieut John Springer then a resident near Beason's Fort (now Senior Town, Fayette County, Pa.) that said John Faucett was then one of Springer's company thatwas  encamped a few days on Grant's Hill, near Fort Pit -, that Lieut Springers company was then attached to the company of Capt Ferrell who also commanded a detachment of regular soldies from the 13th Virginia Regiment, then commanded by Col. John Gibson which Regiment or a considerable part of it, was then stationed at said Fort. That immediately after joining Capt Ferrell we marched to Wheeling where we relieved a company of Militia
then under the command of Capt Daniel Cressap from Hampshire County, Pa - That we remained in the Fort at Wheeling some short period scouting or ranging round the garrison for several miles up and down the river and sometimes back from the river. That afterwards Lieut Springer with his detachment of Militia returned to Fort Pitt leaving Capt Ferrill
Page 12

and his men in the garrison, the said John Faucett and deponent shall composing a part of
the same. That at the latter place we were
all discharged having been in the public service
about one month. Deponent further saith that
Lieut. Springer's company was encamped at Grants some days before deponent arrived on the ground how many he cannot say but from the appearance of the camp he should think
not more than three or four days. This deponent knows well where said John Faucett then had his residence which was about fifty or sisty miles south eastwardly from Pittsburg and in the Alleghany Mountains from which circumstances he believes said Faucetts term of service including going and returning was ten days or two weeks more than said month first above mentioned. This is all the service of the said John Faucett in the Revolutionary war which came within deponents knowledge and further deponent saith not.

Gentlemen:
I am trying to trace the Revolutionary
war services of a certain John Fawcett of Virginia.
There was a John Fawcett of Virginia who was a soldier in that war and who received a pension
about the year 1831 for services in that war. He is thought to have moved from Virginia to Indiana
where he was living at the time the pension was issued to him. I want to ascertain if this John
Fawcett was the father of Elijah, Isaac, Sarah, Nathan, David, Elizabeth Jesse, Susan and Alban Fawcett. Can you find if any of these are listed as minor children on the pension issued to John Fawcett of Marion County, Indiana for
Revolutionary War Services. Or will it tell who the father of John Fawcett was? That might
help in establishing his identity.
Respectfully Yours,
Teresa Bower
