State of Tennessee Shelby County S.S.
On the 13th day of August personally appeared before us sitting as a called
Court, Cols:. Clemant McDaniel a Resident of said
County and State aforesaid who first being duly
sworn according to law, doth on his Oath make
the following statement and declaration, in
order to obtain the benefit of the provision made by
the act of Congress passed June 7th 1832. That according
to my fathers Register I was born in Halifax
County Virginia on the 19th of December
1759, which makes me now upwards of seventy
two years of age. That in August 1776 I volunteer'd
in what was then called the minute service
under Fleming Bates of Hallifax County, Captin
William McDaniel Lieutenant and Stephen
Bates Ensign. That I lived in Virginia in the County
of Halifax and Pittsylvania untill the year 1806, then
moved to Mero District Tennessee and lived there
until the year 1820, when I moved to this County, where
I have lived ever since

That as soon as Capt Fleming Bates company was complete we had marching orders Wo
rendevoused at New London in Bedford County
about the first of September when and where
we were formed into a Regiment commanded by
Col. Charles Lewis of Albermarle County and State of
Virginia. Harris Morgan Lieutenant Colonel
and Nicholas Lewis of Alberate Major, Early in the
month of September, we marched Westwardly
Crossing New River at Englishes Ferry thence to
Fort Chiswel, Thence to the Town House on the
Middle fork of Holston, thence to the long Island
of Holston, where all the frontier settlers were
Forted in, having been much harrassed by the
Indians - Here we rendesvoused again and
weighted until we were joined by Col Christes
Page 8

Regiment of Riflemen from West of the Blue Ridge, Colo Joseph
Williamson's Regiment from the Yadkin in the State of
North Carolina - our force in all about two thousand
men-- As soon as practicable we look up the line of
march through the Wilderness, where our movements
were duly watched by the Indians as by the reports of
our Spys-- We were in daily and hourly expectation of an
attack and were more than once formed into a line of Battle
but after they learnt our strength (as we supposed) they
fled to their Towns and carried off their wives and children
down the River in canoes-- We marched on + crossed the
River, at great peril, suffering at the same time from the
Coldness of the night, it being towards the last of November.
We lay near the River for 26 Hours. Our Troops were
greatly afflicted with the Bowel Complaint; I myself
was very sick and I lost a brother and many of the
troops died.  when we reached the Towns, we found them
Vacated. We remained there some days, during which
time the Indians came in and made a Treaty of
Peace. The sick were sent to the long Island of Holston, 
and shortly after the main army followed where we were discharged,
three hundred miles from home, without provisions or money to buy with.
In this situation we started homewards, most of us in bad
health. The country through which we passed was
thinly settled by the Dutch who were quite poor, and
could but seldom give us any thing better than
sour Rey Bred and sour Buttermilk. The snow in
the mountains was then half leg deep. A merciful
God, protected us and we reached our homes after
an absence of about four months, having experienced
all the privations and hardships incident to an
Indian campaign. This service so affected my health
that I was rendered unfit for any laborious business
for eighteen months or more. On a partial restoration
to health I was desirous to enter the continental
service, but was restrained by the intreaties of my
Page 9

of my parents who thought that it would cost me my
life - So eager was I to be doing something for my
County that I employed two waggons in travling Salt
for the army from the Sea Board- I hauled Baggage
for the marching militia and sometimes furnished
provisions. I was called on by the Quarter Master to
take command of a Guard and command a Brigade
of waggons [illegible] with public stores from Richmond
to Salbury North Carolina which service I
performed. The first public service after this was
in the year 1781 in the character of first Lieutenant
of a Company of Militia of the County of Pytsilvania
Stephen Coleman Capt: My commission was
signed as I now believe by Patrick Henery Gov.
of Virginia - We marched and joined with Genl
Greens any near Guilford Courthouse some short
time before the Battle was fought at that place, and
remained with his army until honorably
discharged by John Wilson Col. of the Regiment to
which I belong'd. In the succeeding fall I marched
to Little York as first Lieutenant of a Company
and as adjutant to three companys, William
Dicks major of Pittsylvania my Captain.  We
reached Little York a few days after the commencement 
of the siege and were formed into
a Regiment and placed under the command of
Continental officers - viz: Colo. Thomas Merriweather
Colo: Hardeman and Nicholas Najo
We continued there until the surrender of Lord
Cornwallis acting in the double character
as first lieutenant of a company and as
adjutant to the Company Regiment after the
surrender I guarded the prisoners on their route
to Frederick Town in Maryland, But was
taken sick at Bowling Green and Being
unable to proceed.  was there honorably
discharged by Maj Wood Jones of Virginia
Page 10

All the commissions and discharges I ever had were viewed
by me as of no consequence, and of course were not preserved
I have never been on the pension Role have
never received any pay for my services and hereby
relinquish all claim to a pension or annuity
