Before me the subscriber one of the judges  
of the General Court and one of the judges  
of the Circuit Court for the State aforesaid  
personally appeared Cudbeth Stone aged  
sixty years, who being by me first duly sworn  
according to law doth on his oath value the following 
statement and declaration in order to  
obtain the provisions made by the Act of Congress  
Entitled “An Act to provide for certain persons  
engaged in the land and Naval service of the  
United States in the Revolutionary war.” to wit, 
that he is a citizen of the State of Kentucky  
and a resident of the County of Floyd, and 
that he was enlisted as a soldier in the continental  
arm [army] during the Revolution in St. Mary’s County  
& State of Maryland, by a sergeant named  
Enoch McLane about the 29th of March  
1780 for the time of three years, and was attached  
to the company of Captain Jones of the seventh  
Maryland Regiment commanded by Cols. Gunby- 
that he continued to serve in said corps  
against the common enemy for about eleven  
months when he was wounded at the battle of  
Cowpens so severely that he never recovered  
to us to be able to join the army again till the  
close of the war and remained under furlough  
till then for which reason he never received  
a discharge, that he has been all his life disabled 
since in such manner that he has been un [next page]

able [unable] to labor to any extent, by which means 
he has remained poor, and now has a wife &  
two children to support and is so unable to  
labor & is in such indigent circumstances as 
to require the aid of his country, & that he has  
not any other evidence of his services in his power  
than what is here produced- & that he  
never received one cent for his services except his County. 

Also Spencer Adams esqr being sworn at  
The same time and place did depose and say  
that he is at present acquainted with the aforenamed  
Cudbeth Stone and also with his estate  
that he is a poor man and has the effects of 
his wound upon him that he acts as shoemaker  
and by that means has acquired his living &  
that yet in the opinion of the witness he might  
make out to shift along for his subsistence by 
his labor, and so soon as that ceases needs 
come to want- & now requires the aid of his  
Country

I Benjamin Mills Judge as aforesaid do  
certify that it appears to my satisfaction that 
the said Cudbeth Stone did serve in the Revolutionary  
war as stated in the preceding declaration 
against the common enemy for the  
term of nine months & upwards on the continental

is in such indigent circumstances as  
to require the aid of his country as provided  
by law: and I now transmit the proceedings

Sir,

I herewith enclose you the schedules and Certifficates [Certificates]
of Nathan Preston Thomas Murry and Cuthbert 
Stone which have been confided to my care to 
enclose to you a second time.  I believe that the 
Schedules and Certifficates [Certificates] complies as near with 
your directions as the applicants are capeable [capable]
of making them.  I would merely suggest unto 
your honour [honor] that all the applicants herein 
named has been heretofore placed upon the 
pension list under the act of Congress of the 1st 
of March 1818 which your records will more 
fully show that they have been dropped therefrom 
in pursuance of the act of Congress of the 1st of May 
1820 that they are all to my certain knowledge 
veary [very] old infirme [infirm] and poor and are almost 
entirely dependent upon the charity of their 
friends and the public for support.

Sir there an be no doubt but what the present 
applicants has rendered their services to their country 
in their declarations set forth upon which subject 
your honour [honor] has been well satisfied before you 
placed them on the pension list the first time.
Permit me sir to remark that I admire the 
caution your honour [honor] has heretofore persued [pursued] res
pecting the adjustment of the claims of Revolutionary
soldiers.  But sir at the same time permit me 
to remark that where the several acts of Congress 
appear to have been substancialy [substantially] complied with 
that in my opinion the [illegible] of the rules of 
the department of war in cases where the applicants 
are veary [very] old and in their dotage and infirme [infirm] 
should be departed from peticular [particularly] when it appears 
[illegible] to the satisfaction of your honour [honor]
Page 44

that they have rendered the services to their country 
which is intended to be provided for by law.

These applicants whose schedules I now enclose 
to you are part of the remaining heros [heroes] of the revolution
ary war who certainly assisted in the Achievements 
of our liberties and the Establishment of our 
Republican government and who are now in 
the evening of their age poor and helpless [illegible]
upon their [illegible] and tottering upon the [illegible]
of time dependant [dependent] upon the charity of their 
friends and country to support that life which 
has been so usefull [useful] to their country the prime 
of which has been spent in the defence [defense] of their 
country in a bloody war.  They sir are [illegible] 
the objects of compassion of very true true patriotism 
friend to liberty and his county and unto 
[illegible] we are bound by the strongest ties of 
grattitude [gratitude] and veneration.

These feelings induces me sir a citizen 
of a free government with out promise or reward 
to try to assist these venerable parties and 
remaining heroes of our country to obtain 
the provissions [provisions] made for them by the laws 
of a feeling country for their support.

I enclosed you the papers with an additional 
deposition in the case of John Smith I think 
in January last no answer has been as yet 
[illegible] at this place respecting them  please 
to informe [inform] me wheather [whether] you have recd. the

Sir

Your letter of the 10th October 1844 conc
erning the proof of the marriage of Mrs Stone 
came safely to hand and I have delayed 
answering it this long hoping I might be 
able to get some. information that would ben
efit the old lady, but have not been able to 
gather any that would be of use to her.

There has never been any record of 
marriages kept in this State, except private 
ones are sometimes kept by ministers and 
magistrates, and Mrs Stones only chance of 
proving the record of her marriage would 
be from the private papers of Revd. Mr. Mulkey 
or from some family record either of which 
will be sufficient proof if the original is 
sent to the pension office.

If you will write to Mr. Poole, Pooles Springs 
Spartanburg District S. C. he may perhaps be 
able to give you some information concerning 
the marriage of Mrs. Stone as he is a very old man 
and has lived near the Trough Shoals since he 
was a child and I expect must have known the 
parties.

Yours Respectfully 

James H Alexander
P.S. If I obtain any information that }
will be of use to Mrs Stone I will }
