on this 22nd day of October 1832 personally appeared in open Court it being a court of said before the Justices of the Clarke County Court now sitting, William Tuggle a resident of Clarke County and State aforesaid, aged seventy three years last April, 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 entered the service of the United States under the following named officers, and served as herein stated-
In the fall of the year 1777 I think in the month of October, I was drafted as a militia man to serve a tour of three months in a Company of Militia commanded by Capt. Richard Bibb. The Company was raised in Goochland County Virginia, in which County I then resided-- We were marched to Williamsburg and from that to York, we were commanded by General Nelson- there were no regular soldiers in company when I was so far as I recollect. I served out the three months and sent home-- I got no written discharge - 
The next time I served twelve months in the regular army - I enlisted on the 14th day of February 1778 - I was enlisted by Captain Morris. I think his first name was Nathaniel, and in company with some others, I was sent out on to the army at Valley forge - when I joined the army Morris our captain belonged to the 9th regiment but said regiment as I understood had been
Page 19

N
cut to pieces at the battle of Germantown and the new recruits being insufficient to make
of the regiment anew - I was transferred with the others to the 8th regiment, in a company commanded by Captain Fantleroy, the
regiment was commanded by Col. Burgess
Ball. We marched from Valley forge sometime
in June as well as I recollect, and marched to the White plains. From the white plains we
were marched to West point, Fantleroy our captain was killed at Monmouth. I was
not present being then at the Valley Forge, having been left behind sick-- After the death of Fantleroy I was placed in a company commanded by Capt. Kendall in the first Virginia Regiment commanded by Col. Richard Parker. From West Point in were marched to winter quarters in the Jersey's-- I was discharged, before the army left winter quarters, having served my twelve months for which I enlisted- I got a written discharge I think it was signed by Col. Richard Parker. I have lost it many years since.
In the year 1779 I served two tours of three weeks each - I was a substitute both times-- The first time for James Gillam, the second time I was also a substitute but I have forgotten the name of the person for whom I was a substitute - I was employed on both occasions in guarding the British prisoner taken at Burgoyne's defeat. They were kept at Albemarle Barracks in Virginia. - Capt.
Edward Duke commanded at one time - The
name of the Capt who commanded at the other
Page 20

time I have forgotten, though I believe his name was Captain Curd-- The regiment was commanded by Col. Taylor--

In the fall of the year 1779 after I had performed the foregoing service I moved to Pittsylvania County Virginia, and in the month of May 1781 I was there drafted as a militia man for three months in a company commanded by Captain Burnet. Halcobm was our Major. We were marched near Williamsburg. the brigade was commanded by General Lawson. we were marched and countermarched through the country. we were marched to the Morbin Hills near James river where we remained several days. From there we marched to Brookbridge near Richmond, and my three months having expired I was discharged-- I got a written discharge. Who it was signed by I do not recollect-- I left said discharge with Richard Harrison who then lived in Pittsylvania Virginia to get my pay for me-- and I have never seen it since-- My whole service was twelve months in the regular army and about seven months and one half in the militia-- General Muhlenburgh commanded the Brigade I belonged to whilst in the regular service

I was born in Goochland County. State of Virginia, on the 27th day of April 1759-- I have a record of my age at my own house taken from one made by my father-- I lived in Virginia after revolutionary war until the year 1795-- I then moved to the State of Kentucky and have been living here ever since, in Clarke County--
Page 21

I lived in Goochland County Virginia during the war except the time I lived in Pittsylvania
County before mentioned, and in the year 1782 I left Pittsylvania, and removed back again to Goochland where I resided until 1795.
I am well known in my present neighborhood to David Hampton Esq. Philip Ryan, Jesse Hampton and Elias Browning and John Gordon who can testify as to my character for veracity and their belief of my services as a soldier of the revolution.
I hereby relinquish every claim whatever to a pension or annuity except the present, and
declare that my name is not on the pension roll of the agency of any State.

EXPLANATORY NOTES.
*QUERE V. In a case where the applicant cannot, by reason of the loss of memory, state precisely how long he served, he should amend his declaration by making an affidavit in the following words:
"Personally appeared before me, the undersigned, a Justice of the Peace, &c. A. B. who, being duly sworn, deposeth and saith, that, by reason of old age, and the consequent loss of memory, he cannot swear positively as to the precise length of his service, but according to the best of his recollection he served not less than the periods mentioned below, and in the following grades; For year months, and - days, I served as a  For months and days, I served as a -; and for such service I claim a pension.
Page 29

3
It is important in all cases to determine with precision the period for which each applicant served, and the particular rank he held, as the law directs the pension to be paid according to the grade of the
pensioner and the length of his service. The use of the phrase about three or for months is too indefinite, and all such qualifying expressions are objectionable. Some persons who apply for pensions
merely state they served two years in the militia, &c. without specifying the tours; the names of the officers, and other particulars respecting their service. This form of a declaration is highly objection
able. It must in every case be clearly shewn under what officers the applicant served; the duration of each term of engagement; the particular place or places where the service was performed; that the
applicant served with an embodied corps called into service by competent authority; that he was either the field or in garrison; and for the time during which the service was performed, he was not employed in any civil pursuit.
QUERE XIV. Proof of Service.
In a case where the name of the applicant is not found on the records of the Department, he must prove his service by two credible witnesses, who are required to set forth in their affidavits the time of
the claimants entering the service, and the time and manner of his leaving the same, as well as the regiment, company, and line to which he belonged. The magistrate who may administer the oaths
must certify to the credibility of the witnesses, and the official character and signature of the magistrate must be certified by the proper officer, under his seal of office.
QUERE XVI. Mode of authenticating papers.
In every instance where the certificate of the certifying officer who authenticates the papers is not written on the same sheet of paper which contains the affidavit, or other paper authenticated, the certificate must be attached thereto by a piece of tape or narrow ribbon, the ends of which must pass under the seal of office of the certifying officer, so as to prevent any paper from being improperly
attached to the certificate.
In every case where the clerk of the court, or other certifying officer, has no public seal of office, the certificate of a member of congress, proving the official character and signature of the certifying officer, should accompany the papers.

Dear Sir:
I should greatly appreciate any information on the following questions that your records might be able to give me.

1--Was a man by the name of Tilley or Timson Emmerson (Emerson) ever granted a pension for service in the Revolutionary War, service rendered with Virginia troops? If so, can you give me facts regarding it?

2--Date of death of John Carney, Revolutionary pensioner who made application under date of Aug. 29, 1832, at which time he was 75 years of age and residing in Jennings County, Indiana. Should like to know to whom last payment was made and date of same if possible.

3--Was William Tuggle, private in 9th Virginia Regt. of Foot, ever pensioned for his services in the Revolutionary War, and if so date of death, and place of residence, and to whom was last payment made?

4--Was Moses Bruce, Revolutionary Soldier from Massachusetts, later having moved to Vermont, ever pensioned for his services, and if so, place of residence, and date of death, and to whom was last payment made.
Very truly yours,

Madam:
In response to your letter received April 30, 1923, I have to advise you that from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim W. 8795 it appears that William Tuggle died July 5, 1833, place not stated, leaving widow Nancy who was a resident of Clark County, Kentucky in 1843 aged eighty-three years.
For the date of death of John Carney and date of last payment of pension and name of person paid, you should apply to the Pension Section, Civil Division, General Accounting Office, 1800 E Street, N. W. Washington D. C. citing all of the following data: "John Carney, Certificate 5092, issued February 4, 1833, rate $40 per annum, commenced March 4, 1831, Act of June 7, 1832, Indiana Agency."
The Revolutionary War records of this Bureau fail to furnish any information in regard to Tilley or Timson Emmerson (Emerson) or Moses Bruce.
Respectfully,
Commissioner.
