Sir

In May last the claim of Jane McKissick of
Arkansas was allowed for $175 per ann. From the amt. of payment, furnished in her case, I expected something like one year since was established, viz. a Capt. of Dragoons @ S. Cal., which would have given the widow $300 ann. More deducted from the sum of the payment made him, if I remember [illegible], for [illegible] so much that it left only 7 mos. [illegible]
On the 21 March last I filed [filled] out her papers a further payt. of [pound symbol] 100. Since that I have found that Daniel McKissick of Burk [Burke] Co. No. Ca. was placed on the [illegible] list of pensioners in 1792 a Capt. of Dragoons for a wound in the left arm in the Battle of Ramsours Mills June 20 1780. See State Papers, Vol. XIX Page 168. I have further proof that he was a Lt. Co.l July 4 1781.
See the papers Katharin Massey of [illegible]
July 7 1838. How long her husband served
prior to June 1780. or how long he served
afterward, I am unable to say; but is
reasonable to suppose that he did so serve

[line drawn to "See the papers"] Ref File 7006.

before and after both periods. At all events we
have shown that he was in service for the
span of 12 ms. & 14 days as Capt. of Dragoon
@ S. Cal., both by record proof and the amt.
of pay he rec'd. from the State.
We now ask such an [illegible] of
Mrs. McKissick pension as all [illegible] her the
benefit of 12 ms. & 14 days initial of 7 mos.
the sum already allowed.
I Am Respectfully

Sir,

Enclosed herewith you will receive vouchers
for the Pension due to Jane McKisick, deceased, late a Pensioner under the act of 4 July, 1836, at the rate of $175 pr. annum, and who died on the 4th July last.- The vouchers, I believe, are complete, with the exception of the signing of the duplicate Receipts, & I think
I would be justified in paying the amount due; but, as it is a new case, & the amount is large, I have concluded that the most prudent course would be for me to refer the papers to you, for your approval, before paying.- I therefore request that you will examine them, & if you find them correct, return them, with an order for me to pay, on the duplicate receipts being signed by the Executor.
I am, sir,

To the Honorable, the Senate
and members of the house of
Representives [Representatives], of the Congress
of the united States
At the City of Washington,
assembled in
December 1841 -

The petition of Jane McKisick of the County of Benton in the State of Arkansas, who is the widdow [widow] of Capt. Daniel McKisick deceased, who was in the army of the Revolution, humbly & respectfully sheweth,
That, in the month of [blank space] in the year 1776, she intermaried [intermarried] with the said Daniel McKisick, in the County of Lincoln in the State of North Carolina, that not long after her said marriage, the troubles and privations peculiar to the Revolutionary conflict, commenced in that section of Country
where she married and resided, that in the early stages of the contest, there were no regular British troops in the part of the Country in which she & her said husband, the said
Daniel McKisick then lived, but unfortunately a majority of the inhabitants of the Country of the Country around, adhered to the British authorities, and soon become the deadly & uncompromising enemies of the few who espoused the cause of American liberty, and staked their all upon the then [illegible] issue,
her deceased husband the said Daniel McKisick took an early and decided stand in support of his Countries freedom, in consequence of which, he became obnactious to the party then called Tories many of whom were destitute
of the magnanimity of British Soldiers, and were in fact and in practice, ruthless Robbers, they having at different times covertly state upon her dwelling, and when failed in
siezeing [seizing] the person of her said husband, would gratify their vengence [vengeance] by the most wanton robbery, they having more than once taken property which she greatly needed, and at one time took & carryed [carried] away her [word crossed out] wearing apparal [apparel] & Bedclothing, with
articles which she needed for the support of herself & small family:. Your petitioner further states, that in consequence of the enmity of the Tories towards her husband, it become
unsafe for him to remain at home, & after hostilities commenced it appeared neassory [necessary], as well for the benefit of his Country, as for his own safety, to attach himself to the party who had declared for freedom, and being appointed Captain
he took the command of Volunteer company of malitia [militia]-
In the month of June in the year 1780

an early and decided stand in support of his Countries freedom, in consequence of which, he become obnactious to the party then called Tories many of whom were destitute of the magnanimity of British Soldiers, and were in fact and in practice, ruthless Robbers, they having at different times covertly state upon her dwelling, and when failed in siezeing [seizing] the person of her said husband, would gratify their vengence [vengeance] by the most wanton robbery; they having more than once taken property which she greatly needed, and at one time took & carryed [carried] away her [word crossed out] wearing apparal [apparel] & bedclothing, with
articles which she needed for the support of herself & small family:- Your petitioner further states that in consequence of the enmity of the Tories towards her husband, it became unsafe for him to remain at home & after hostilities commenced it approved neassory [necessary], as well for the benefit of his Country,
as for his own safety, to attach himself to the party who had declared for freedom, and being appointed Captain, he took the command of Volunteer company of malitia [militia] -
In the month of June in the year 1780
the enemy under the command of a Col. Moore a Tory officer, assembled all their forces in that part of the Country at Ramsours Mills in said County of Lincoln, with a view as she was informed, and verily believes to overrun the
Page 47

Country, and to [illegible] the friends of Independance [Independence], the Whigs
as they were then called into submission to the British [illegible],
This offensive maneuver of the enemy, enduced [induced] the Whigs to call together all their available forces throughout the
adjoining Counties, preparatory to an engagement, and on the morning of the 19 or 20 of June in said year 1780, to the best of
her recollection, the Whigs or libertymen men, they were also called, advanced upon the enemies forces, they having taken a position
on an elevated piece of ground near the Mills above mentioned, the forces of the enemy being much greater than that of those
on the side of liberty, a Sanguinary [word crossed out] conflict ensued, in which a considerable number was killed & wounded on both sides, in this engagement, the decd., husband of your petitioner, the said Daniel McKisick commanded a company as she was often informed from various sources, & has no doubt of the fact-
Your petitioner is of the opinion from the best of her recollection, that no field officer had arived [arrived] on the ground untill [until] the
Battle was over, She thinks the command devolved in Captain Falls who fell in the action; The enemy was completely routed & the forces contending for liberty, altho [although] inferior in numbers, gained a signal victory;  In this engagement her said husband Captain Daniel McKisick received a gunshot wound in his left arm by which the bone was so badly broken & lacerated, that he remained a cripple the ballance [balance] of his life, the ball
having entered near the elbow, & come out near his shoulder;-
She further states that at the time this Battle was fought she lived about eight or ten miles from the scene of action, that on hearing her husband was wounded, the hastened on to the
Battleground; where she found him with other wounded men, in Rineharts house, near to where the engagement took place, that while there, & she thinks on the evening of the same day of the Battle, General Rutherford arived [arrived] with his Brigade, but unfortunately too late to take part in the action, while on the
ground she seen the officers & soldiers burying the dead; She further States, that in consequence of her said husband being
disabled by the wound above described, he was placed on the Pension roll, while he lived in the State of North Carolina, that he drew a pension up to the time of his death; that in
the year 1807 he moved with his family from Lincoln County North Carolina to Bedford County in the State of Tennessee where he departed this life on the 19th of November in
the year 1818, that she has remained a widdow [widow] ever since the death of her said husband, that she lived in the same house where they were seperated [separated] by his death, untill [until] the year 1836, when she moved with and of her Sons, to Benton County
Page 48

She further states that at the time this Battle was fought she lived about eight or ten miles from the scene of action, that on hearing her husband was wounded, she hastened on to the
Battle ground; where she found him with other wounded men, in Rineharts house near to where the engagement took place,
that while there, & she thinks on the evening of the same day of the Battle, General Rutherford arived [arrived] with his Brigade, but unfortunately too late to take part in the action, while on the ground she seen the officers & soldiers burying the dead; She
further states, that in consequence of her said husband being disabled by the wound above described, he was placed on the Pension roll while he lived in the State of North Carolina,
that he drew a pension up to the time of his death; that in the year 1807 he moved with his family from Lincoln County North Carolina to Bedford County in the State of Tennessee where he departed this life on the 19th of November in the year 1818, that she has remained a widdow [widow] ever since the death of her said husband, that she lived in the same house while they went seperated [separated] by his death, untill [until] the year
1836, when she moved with one of her Sons, to Benton County in the State of Arkansas where she now lives, She is unable to state at this remote period, what length of time her decd. [deceased] husband was in Service, in the army of the Revolution, after receiving the wound above described, the was
Page 49

Several months before he was able to be on duty many pieces of fractured bones having been taken from the wound,
He was on an expedition against the Cherokee Indians but whether before or after he was wounded at Ramsours Mills, she does not distinctly recollect, tho [though] she thinks
it was after-
From the fact that she is now fifteen hundred miles from the place where her early scenes of trouble & misfortune took place, at this distant period of time, it is impossible to procure all the proof she would desire in support of her claim, She has had a declaration prepared about two years ago sustained by such proof as she could obtain, and forwarded to the Commissioner of pensions, claiming the
benefit of the provisions of the Act of Congress passed 4th of July 1836 granting half pay pensions to widdows [widows] &c &c
but she has been informed, that the Pension Commissioner considered the proof was not entirely sufficient to entitle her to the benefit of the act above refered [referred] to; She earnestly & respectfully requests; that her declaration now on file in the pension office may be read & heard with this her petition-
Upon the facts & statements herein set forth,
She respectfully asks, the benefit of the provisions of the said Act of Congress of the 4th of July 1836-
If her claim is considered just & suitable She 
[? confidently ?] appeals to a generous public
[illegible] to grant the pettind she now claims -
And your as in duty bound, will ever pray &c

Gentlemen:

Re: Daniel McKisick.

Some years ago, you very kindly furnished me with the information enclosed. Daniel McKisick so I am informed received a pension from the goverment [government] on account of being
totally, or nearly so, disabled at Ramsauers [Ramsour's] Mill, in North Carolina.

If at the time he made application for such pension, did such application indicate where, and when he was born, and the name of his parents, or any other information that would assist the writer in finding where he was born, and the date.

I would be pleased to have you return the old paper enclosed and if you can give me the information sought, I will be very much pleased.

Yours very truly,

Revolutionary War. I would like to have a copy of the application of Daniel McKisick for pension so that my client can get from that
certain data in regard to the place and date of his birth. If you will have this copy made in

The writer is seeking some information: On July 4th, 1836, Congress granted a pension to Jane Wilson McKissick, the wife of Col. Daniel

affidavit, and what the cost would be.

Thanking you for a prompt response, I am,
