but was last in discharged in the year 1788 at
which time I resided in Franklin County State
of Georgia - My house was attacked by Indians
my wife fortunately escaping with her
children, but my house was plundered with

   In the year 1778, his residence still being in

to serve as a private in the militia company
commanded by Capt Killgone, of which
 - Chew was Lieutenant - we were attached
to a Regiment commanded by Colo McCreary

account of the great sickness & mortality
amongst the troops in the sickly country thro

a great loss of life from sickness, but a
great loss of Publick property - 
   Some time in the summer of 1780 he again

was defeated - Having served three months

volunteered as a private to serve a term of 3
months in the Company of cavalry commanded

to Rocky River, Deep River & we had occasional

months he was discharged - He cannot recollect
the year in which this service was performed
but it was after his father Colo Isacks had been
exchanged - having been some time before taken
prisoner & sent to England (as he always understood) with
Genl Rutherford.  Sometime in the year 1782
he again volunteered to serve a term of three months
as a private in Capt Parvins Company - This service
was performed as ranging thru the country against
the Tories - We had many small engagements
in which a large number of the Tories were
Killed & taken Prisoners - After serving the
full term of three months, I was again regularly
discharged - The whole of my discharge
and other papers were taken[?] by the indians
as before related - I then removed to

The following regulations have been adopted:

This law has been construed to extend, as well to the line, as to every branch of the Staff of the Army, and to include under the terms "Continental Line", "State troops", "militia", and "volunteers", all persons enlisted, drafted, or who volunteered and who were bound to military service, but not those who were occasionally employed with the army upon civil contracts, such as Clerks to Commissaries and to Store Keepers, &c., Teamsters, Boatman, &c. Persons who served on board of private armed vessels are also excluded from the benefits of the law, as well as persons who turned out as patrols, or were engaged in guarding particular places at night, and were not recognized as being in actual military service.
Four general classes of cases are embraced in this law:

1. The Regular Troops.
2. The State Troops, Militia, and Volunteers.
3. Persons employed in the Naval Service.
4. Indian Spies.

As rolls of the regular troops in the Revoluntionary War exist in this Department , all persons claiming the benefit of this law as officers, non-commissioned officers, musicians or privates, will, in the first instance, make application by transmitting the following declaration, which will be made before a Court of Record of the County where such applicant resides. And every Court having by law a seal and Clerk is considered a Court of Record.

Every applicant will procedure the best proof in his power. This is the original discharge or commission ; but if neither of these can be obtained, the party will so state under oath, and will then procure, if possible, the testimony of at least one credible witness, stating in detail his personal knowledge of the services of the application, and such circumstances connected therewith, as may have a tendency to throw light upon the transaction.

Page 15

alleged service, as they are known at the Department. A very full account of the services of each person will be indispensable to a favorable action upon his case. The facts stated will afford one of the principal means of corroborating the declaration of the applicant, if true, or of detecting the imposition, if one be attempted ; or unless, therefore, these are amply and clearly set forth, no favorable decision can be expected. All applicants will appear before some Court of Record in the County in which they reside, and there subscribe and be sworn to, one of the declarations above provided, according to the nature of his case.
