Personally appeared W.

derived from his parents, and from family
records, he believes that he was forty three years of
age last November that he was informed by his
parents and believes he was born in the village
of this (above) district, that he has always resided
in said village, except when absent at school
that from his earliest recollections he has been acquainted 
with Mrs. Grizzle or Grizelda McCall and
family - that said Grizzle was ever regarded as the
lawful and wedded wife of John McCall, who died
before this Deponent's recollection - that this deponent
believes he commenced school in this village at a
very early age - that he has no recollection of ever
attending school with Alfred McCall, who, he has
been ever informed and believes, is the eldest son &
child of John and Grizzle McCall - that this deponent 
supposes and believes said Alfred had completed 
the education he received before this deponent 
commenced his - that judging from his boyish
recollections, the impressions of his whole life, as well as
his present reflections, this deponent does
verily believe that Alfred McCall must be and
is twelve years older at least than this deponent.
This deponent further states, that Mrs. G. McCall has
long been considered the oldest citizen of the village
that since her death Alfred McCall has been regarded
as the oldest - Col. Wm Wright the next, and myself
third, the word citizen being and as contradistinguished
from individual.

that he has resided in Yorkville from his earliest

Mrs. Grizzle or Grizelda McCall and family
that he attended schools with several of the children 
of Mrs. Grizzle McCall, tho' he has no recollection 
of attending with Alfred McCall, the eldest
of the children - that judging from his own age
from the recollections of his youthful years, as well as
from his present reflections, this deponent
does verily believe that Alfred McCall must be
and is fully fifty five years of age. This Deponent 
has long regarded Alfred Call the oldest
male citizen of the village, and since his mother's
death, the oldest of either sex - myself next and
W.C. Beatty, third - the word a citizen" is used as

McCall the son of Mrs. Grizzle McCall, in the year

particularly because it was the year in which the U.S.

a pension of Grizzle McCall, widow of
John McCall a Revolutionary Soldier - 
by which you will be informed that
John McCall servd in the State Troops
 - Hills Regiment Sumters Brigade for
Ten Months -
A pension certificate has
heretofore been issued in this case for
Thirty three dollars per annum, which
was for Infantry Pay, when the
Claim should have been passed for Cavalry
pay. The parties in interest now
Claim the difference between what has
been allowed - & what is really due - and
they claim also for Three months Service
in the Militia, for seven months while
a prisoner in Camden Jail where he
was confined by the British Army,
Will you have the kindness to
look into this matter, & issue a
Certificate for whatever amount
you may find to be due

Sir
I have the honor to acknowledge the
receipt of your letter of the 10th Aust in reference
 to the claim of Grizzle McCall
order of John M Call, who was a soldier
of the Revolution
You inform me that upon a re-examination 
of this claim, an increase of pension
may be allowed, for ten months as a private of
Cavalry instead of for ten months as a
private of infantry. You further state that the
Indent shews a payment for two months
as a private of Infantry for which an allowance
may also be made. You conclude by
saying that the time claimed as a prisoner
in Camden Jail, cannot be allowed without
further proof.
I am inclined to think, that the
evidence on file, proves that John
McCall Served three months in the Militia,
& by your reference to the Evidence on
this point.
Since I last wrote you
on this subject, I have seen & conversed
with old Captain Robert Wilson.
Page 31

and I have now to repent, that he
my personal knowledge of this remarkable
old man, that no one living whose Testimony
is entitled to greater credit. He informed
me that he knew John McCall well - 
That he saw him a day or two after
her came out of Camden Jail, & that
his treatment had been such under the
Tyrannical treatment of his British
Jailers that he was covered with Vermin
(lice) I think he has sworn to this fact
in his testimony & that other witnesses have
proved [?] the same thing -
The parties in interest now submit
the whole case to your decision-- & if
you can allow for this imprisonment
& the additional months for Infantry
or Militia service, then be pleased
to forward me a certificate for
what you have admitted in your last
letter above refered to-
--
I beg to call your
attention to the claim of Andrew Boyd
for his son A M Boyd who was a
private in the Regiment of Volunteers
for Georgia. I have received the
Three months Extra pay-- But the
Page 32

County Land, & arrears of pay are
still due - I dont know the
name of the new 2d Auditor - Will
you have the kindness to call his
attention to the arrears of pay in
this case-
I beg also to call your
attention to the claim of Ezekiel
Templeton, whose claim is in the same
condition as the one last named - 
I believe his son Servd in the 3d
Regiment of Dragoons. - We have recd
the 3 months Extra pay - but the Bounty
Land & arrears of monthly pay are still
behind. - Will you have the
kindness to look into & act on these
two cases last named, as the papers
were filed last January

Sir
At the request of A. S. Wallace
Esq I have called on Wm Carson
an old revolutionary soldier living
near this place for the purpose
of personally examining him
as to his acquaintance with John
McCall husband of Grizzle McCall
whose heirs are now applicant
for the pension which was due
of said John McCall - Carson
is a man of good standing
and from My interview with him
I am confidant that he states
the truth in saying that he
knew Jno McCall from the time
that he was he Service during the
Revolutionary War, and
Page 37

that he the said Wm Carson, seen
the said McCall in Service at
Orangeburgh in the fall of
1781 - and that he was convinced
that the said John McCall Enlisted
in Sumters Brigade of State,
Troops and that James Miskelly
accepted at the same time
with McCall -  Carson was
then out in the Militia, and
done three months service
at that time & could not
speak as to the time before
served. But says as he McCall
was shortly after the War
made sheriff of York Dist
he is quite sure that he
the said McCall faithfully
served out his time and was a
always reputed a "good liberty
man" - Carson is quite
Page 38

old (85 years) and draws a pension
from the State of So. Ca. his
standing and the caution with which
he answered my inquiries, I am
confident he speaks the truth
and that John McCall did serve
in the State troops as claimed
for him by his heirs.

Sir
In reply to your letter of the of the
5 June last in reference to an increase
of the pension of the Heirs of
Grizzle McCall I have to inform
you, that you have already on file
Record Evidence from the Comptroller
Generals Office in Charleston SC from
the Rolls of Col Wm Hills Regiment
which shews that John McCall did
serve Ten Months in Giles Troop
Hills Regiment of light Dragoons (State
Troops)  This it seems to me, is the
Very evidence called for in your letter
above refered to and is the Evidence
upon which the claim to increase
of Pension is founded-
This service is also proved
by the Evidence of Wm Carson
taken by Hon James A. Black,
Capt Robert Wilson, & much more
Traditionary Testimony all of which
are already on file in your
Office, and would request you
Page 43

to examine the Certificate of
the Hon James A Black, made
out in this case, & also on file.
Record Evidence in this case
is now also on file shewing
the service of John McCall
for the Term of three months
in the Militia, which is deemed
conclusive
We have not been able
to obtain any Record evidence to prove
the imprisonment of John McCall
in Camden Jail, from the fact that
(as is presumed), he did not apply for
indents on that subject and the
Revolutionary records show but very
few cases where indents have
been issued in cases of imprisonment
We rely therefore on passed
Testimony already on file to
establish the claim on this
Page 44

branch of the case
There is no traditionary fact
better known in this Country than
the Revolutionary services of John
McCall, compiled as this tradition is
with his imprisonment in Camden
Jail, - and as a reward for said
services, he was soon after the 
close of the Revolutionary 
was made Sheriff of York District
& the prisoner William Cokes
British Sergeant when john
McCall took at the battle of
Eutaw Springs, whilst he was in
the light Dragoon Service, lived
and died within two miles of
Yorkville - This proof is also
on file to which reference is
desired-

Sir
I am called on to state to you the standing of Col Wm Wright, Col Wm C Beaty Joshua D Gore Capt Robert WIlson Frances Cary Wm Carson Martha Boggs and Catharine Miller whose testimony are offered in the Pension Office on the claim of Grizzle McCall. Mssrs Wirght, Beaty Gore & Wilson  I know personally and know them to be men of high standing amongst our oldest and best citizens and that their evidence are entitled to full faith and credit. the other four viz Frances Cary, Wm Carson and Martha Boggs and Catharine Miller I do not know personally but I am apprised by Jno S Mosse & George Steel Eqr as well as other respectable citizens in which I have the very highest confidence, that they are all worthy respectable old people in whose statements the utmost reliance may & should be placed.
I can only repeat to you what
Page 46

have already said to you, that I am
convinced, that the Certificate from
the Comptroller General of South Carolina,
for Ninety four pounds
was issued to call for ten
months service as to State of
South Carolina, at one time in
the War of the Revolution did
promise their citizens who
would serve ["serve" crossed out] enlist & served
in the State Troop ten month,
should have a Negro for
Bounty service, between the age
of ten & forty years and I am
sure that all who did not
receive the Negro promised
did receive Indents for Ninety
four pounds -
I am convinced there
never was a more honest
or just claim presented than
the claim of Grizzle McCall

Enclose is the evidence offered
in answer to yours of this
which I hope will be satisfactory
you will please examine and report
this claim at as early a day as possible 
you seem to take exceptions at
94 pounds being paid for ten or twelve months
service in the State Troops if your
department has been allowing Pensions
for a longer period of time that than
above you have certainly been
mistaken I know no man living
that served in militia State Troops
but the old soldiers and men that
lived in that day say that militia
State Troops only served ten or twelve
months under the same Enlistment
and all the Indents for private service 
in the State Troop are uniformly
94 pounds sterling
