 On this 25 day of September 1834 personally

the act of Congress passed June 7th 1832

That he entered the service of the United States as a (illegible) in Orange County North Carolina some time in February 1781 under the command of Captain Thompson who was
commanded by Col Thomas Taylor and Marched from Orange County to Guilford Court House and was in the battle of
Guilford and after the battle we were rendezvous at Troublesome Iron works and from thence we were marched in pursuit of
the British to Ramseys Mill on deep river and from thence to Raleigh and was marched as a guard over some British and Tory prisoners to Hillsboro at which place we remained until we were dismissed by our Captain which was sometime in May 1781. Making a tour of duty of full three months.

Again about the first of June 1781 entered the service in Orange County N. Carolina as a substitute for (blank) Gwinn who was
drafted in said County, under the command of Edward Guinn as Captain the Col. name not recollected and was stationed as a guard over the prisoners at Hillsboro when we were
not on scouting parties until some time in September thereafter at which time we were dismissed making a tour of full three months or more, Again some time in October 1781 in Orange County N Carolina I enlisted under the command of Capt Elijah Moore who was commanded by Adjutant (blank) Ivy and Col Sumpter. Genl Lytle and Gen Green commander in chief and was marched from Hillsboro to Salisbury them to Ashly hills and there joined the Maryland and Pensylvania line of Regulars and from thence to James
Island and was there stationed stationed until some time in the latter part of the year 1782 at which time I was furloughed and ordered to be kept in readiness when called
Page 11

but was not called into service again a short time before I received my furlough I was appointed corporal and was furloughed as such from under the command of Capt
Joseph T Rhodes who was our captain at that time and was in actual service from the time of my enlistment until I was furlonged eleven
months and eight days which added to my other two you will make upwards of number months actual service and for such services I claim a pension my furlough I let about the year 1789 or 90 on Clinch river in Tennessee
when a company of us was defeated by the Cherokee Indians.

I have no documentary evidence and I know of no person whose testimony I can procure who can testify to my services and that there is no clergyman living in my vicinity or near enough whom I can get to certify to my declaration therefore for my credibility I refer to the annexed certificate of Thomas Cusack & Berryman Holly, He hereby relinquishes
my claim whatever to a pension or annuity except the present and declares that his name is not on the pension Roll of the agency in any State.

James Lindsey-S.10992

Mrs. D. P. Haynes
705 S. Main Street
Oxford, Ala

Dear Madam:

Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War records of James and Jospeh Lindsay, of North Carolina.

There is no claim for pension or bounty land on file based upon service in the revolutionary War of a Joseph Lindsey, or similar spelling.   Such claims are the source of the data furnished by this office.

It is suggested that as a possible source of obtaining information in regard to the military service of that solider, you apply to the Adjutant General, War Department, this city, who is custodian of military records.

You are furnished herein the record of James Lindsey, the only soldier of that name or similar spelling, who served with the North Carolina troops, that is found on the Revolutionary War records of this office, which, it is hoped, is the record of the soldier 
of whom you are interested.

James Lindsey
S.10992

The data which follow were obtained from the papers on file in Revolutionary War pension claim, S.10992, based upon the military service in that war of James Lindsey.

James Lindsey was born in 1765, in the state of Pennsylvania. The names of his parents are now shown.
Page 17

(Typewritten document with handwritten notes on the upper left- and right-hand side)

(Handwritten, left side of document: (illegible) of NC.)

While residing in Orange County, North Carolina, James Lindsay volunteered and served with the North Carolina troops,
as follows from February 1, 1781, three months as a private in Captain Thompson's Company, Colonel Thomas Taylor's Regiment
and was in the battle of Guilford Court House from about June 1, 1781, three months as a private in Captain Edward Quinn's Company and was stationed at Hillsboro, as a guard
over prisoners confined there also did scouting services and from October, 1781, eleven months and eight days as private
and corporal in Captain Elijah Moore's, Joseph T. Rhodes and ward's Companies, under Colonel Lytle.

(Handwritten, right side of document: No col of this name of NC but one of SC. Identified all these officers))

After the Revolution, he lived in Tennessee, and in 1789 or 1790, was in a company which marched against the Cherokee Indians and was in an engagement with them on Clinch river.
He was allowed pension on account of his service in the Revolutionary War on his application executed September 25, 1834,
while residing in Marion County, Alabama,

Soldier's wife and children are referred to but no names are given.

In 1849, Lindsay Woods, aged fifty three years and a resident of Orange County, North Carolina, made affidavit that he was a distant relative of the soldier, James Lindsey, but did
not give degree of relationship.

In order to obtain the date of last payment of pension, the name and address of person paid and possibly the date of death of the Revolutionary War pensioner, James Lindsey (S.10992), you should address The Comptroller General, General Accounting Office, Records Division, this city, and cite the following data:

James Lindsey, Certificate No. 30134, issued July 199, 1949, rate, $62.15 per annum, commenced March 4, 1831, Act of June 7,

Before me Leroy Kennedy an acting Justice of the peace for said county personally appeared James Lindsey who being duly sworn according to law deposeth and saith, That at
the time he entered the service as a volunteer in Orange County N Carolina as well as recollected it was in February 1781 under the command of Capt Thompson and Col Taylor
he was marched from Orange County to Guilford C House and was in the Battle at said and after the battle they rendezvous at Troublesome Iron Works and (illegible) to 
 Ramsey's mills from which place he was 
marched to Raleigh from thence as a guard over some British and Tory prisoners to Hillsboro and was there stationed as a guard until in May and was then dismissed by his Captain after being in service full three
months; he then returned home and after being there a few day he went to Ramsey's Mills and entered himself as a substitute for (blank space) Guin who had been drafted in Orange County N. Carolina only a few days previous to his taking his place under the command of Capt Edward Guin the Col. name not recollected and was marched from said place to Hillsboro and there remained as a guard when he was not on scouting parties
which was not at any time only a few miles from said place until he was dismissed which was in the early part of the fall 1781 after being in service full three months from the time he substituted be then returned home where he remained a very short time
where he went to his the company master ground and there enlisted under the command of Captain Elijah Moore, who was commanded by Adjutant Jay
Col Sumpter, Genl Lytle, & Genl Green and and Joined the Regiment at Hillsboro and was marched from said place to Salisbury from thence to Ackley Hills and then joined the Maryland and Pensylvania line of Regulars from thence we were marched to James Island and was there stationed until the latter part of the year 1782, and at which time he
Page 54

received a furlough after being in service at that time Eleven months and eight days and about ten days before he was furloughed he was appointed corporal in the  lace of (Blank space) Dobbins who had died and was furloughed as such and was not called into service any more I may be mistaken
as to the rank of Lytle but it was always my opinion he was General. My reasons for not claiming a pension under the act of March 18th 1818 are these when the act was passed
he was living in the State of Tennessee and was able although in reduced circumstance to support his family by his labor and the help of his children until bodily infirmity and old
deprived him of his ability he did not feel willing to ask his country for any assistance until in the year 1831 at which time being situation being almost helpless he concluded he would apply and in March 1831 he contracted with Mr Harley Tuttle to apply for him and filed his declaration agreeable to
said act it was sent for examination and returned with directions that I had neglected to State the amount of property in 1818 my statement was then filed and Mr Tuttle informed me that he had sent the papers to the care of S. W. Mardis the member from our district in Congress since that time I have never heard the result, I then concluded
never to apply again, until in 1834 I agreed with Daniel Dayton Esq to apply for me under the act of March 7th 1832 his have promised to attend to the same faithfully until it should
be obtained, these are the facts as well as recollected and my reasons for not applying sooner.
