Court of General Sessions of the Peace and Common Pleas now sitting Henry Dominick a resident of Newberry District in the State aforesaid aged upwards of Seventy five years
who being 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 born near where Columbia now stands in Richland District, South Carolina, but as his parents died when he was young and no record of his age came into his possession, he knows not in what year he was born,  He was living where he was born when he was drafted & went into service, he does not recollect the year he was drafted in the Militia, nor the term of service for which he was drafted, nor the name of the Captain that commanded the company, the lieutenant was Thomas Miller, he does not remember the names of either the Major or Colonel under whose command he was, he was marched to a place called Ancram's neck where he remained several weeks, from thence he was marched to a place called Liberty Hill not far from Augusta Georgia where he was stationed between two & three months as the British forces marched towards Charleston South Carolina from Georgia, the detachment to which he belonged was marched with haste after them; there was an engament as it was said, near a place called Stono, between the forces of the enemy and the Americans before his detachment arrived: after this the British as it was said retreated to Georgia, & he was marched near Dorchester South Carolina, that night an alarm was given occasioned by an attack of party of tories on our cavalry, but no considerable damage was done & they were quickly repulsed.
Page 5

After remaining at that place a short time he was removed further up the Country to a place considered a more eligible station and in a few weeks afterwards they were dismissed at Bacon's Bridge, but he does not remember to have received any discharge in writing. He went into this tour of duty in the spring season of the year and was discharged in the winter as it snowed two or three weeks before he got home, this was about the year 1779, in this expedition he served between eight & ten months for which he never received any compensation except the rations as a private: After he returned home he was taken a prisoner by a detachment of British at Granby South Carolina, and was detained in their custody about two weeks, he made his escape from them and went over the Mountains
From thence he returned to the State of South Carolina and was at intervals of time with the American Armies in this State and frequently exercised in the lines but did not attach himself as a member to any particular company; he passed several months in
this way, during the Revolutionary war.
This applicant was in the expedition in what was called the Snow Camp, but does not remember his officers the time he was in this service he does not precisely remember, thinks it was between three & six weeks that he served in this expedition, and before he went into it, when he was raised as above stated
He has no documentary evidence of his revolutionary services He knows of no person whose testimony he can procure that can testify to his services. He refers to the Revd Phillip Cromer & William Gillam for his character & reputation that he is a soldier of the revolution. He hereby
