On this Twenty fourth day of July Eighteen
Hundred and forty three personally
appeared in open Court before the Inferior Court for
the County of Hall and State of Georgia now sitting
John Mooney a resident of the County of Hall
in the State of Georgia, aged Eighty three 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 entered the service of the United States as a
Volunteer under Genl Greene, but by reason of old age
and the consequent loss of memory, he cannot state
positively, the time he entered the service, at the
time he entered the service he resided in Lincoln
County, State of North Carolina, and he joined
General Greene on his march toward Camden,
and was in the battle near Camden in the
State of South Carolina - from thence he thinks
he was marched to a place called the Hanging
Rock, where he was in another engagement
with the British from that place he marched
to Ninety Six and was in the engagement at
that place under General Greene - and from
there he marched to a place called the four
holes - he thinks, where he was discharged, and
returned home, having served a little more than
three months.

After having remained at home but a very
short time, he again volunteered, and entered
the service under Captain William Moore, Colonel
Erwin Regiment and marched under General
Rutherford to Cape fear river, where he was
stationed at a Bridge some distance above the
Town - and at which place he was engaged
in repeated skirmishes with the British
Page 9

who were lying on the opposite side of the river.

On one occasion a cannon having been
found in a well, Major Hogg of the regular
Army, detached about one hundred young
men, among whom was this declarant, to
go down and mount the gun on carriage. they
marched down and went to work, and had
nearly completed it, when the British
landed from two row gallies and fired
upon them. they retreated and having fallen
back to General Rutherford, he with his
main force marched down to give them
battle. but the British had embarked and
were gone. they pursued after the British
into Town, but they had reached their
Vessels - This circumstance happened but
a day or two before the news of the surrender
of Cornwallis reached them when the
British left the port, and after their rejoicings
were over, he was discharged and
returned home having been in the
service a little more than three months-
That his said discharges have been
burned up, so that they cannot be attached
to this declaration.
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 the agency of any State.

Sworn to and subscribed in open Court
the day and year aforesaid.
