My dear Mr. Almon:
     Reference is made to your letter of February 24, 1932, in which you request information relative to David McNeely, a Revolutionary War pensioner.
     The data furnished herein are obtained from the papers on file in the Revolutionary War claim for pension, W.1051, based upon the military service of David McNeely in that war.

     He enlisted at the age of eighteen years, place not stated, served in Captain George Matthews' company, 14th Virginia Regiment and in colonel Morgan's Virginia Regiment, and was in the battle of Brandywine, length of service three years and four months:  he volunteer February 1, 1781, served as a private in Captain David Mays' Company under colonels William Campbell and William Preston, was in skirmishes on Alamance Creek and on Haw River, in the battle of Guilford, and at the siege of Yorktown, after which he guarded prisoners to Winchester and was discharged November 8, 1781, by Lieutenant Willis Estill.
     He was allowed pension on his application executed October 30, 1832, while residing in Madison County, Alabama.
      He died July 19, 1836, in Madison County, Alabama.

In the Circuit Court of Madison County held at Huntsville on the first Monday after the
fourth Monday in October 1832 His Honor William I Adair presiding — 
Then personally appeared in open Court David McNeely resident of said County aged Seventy
four years who being first duly Sworn according to law doth on his Oath make the following
declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress passed June the 7 1832, That
he was born on the 15 Octr 1758 in the State of Virginia in County of Augusta that at about
the age of Eighteen years affiant enlisted in the United States service under George Matthews
Captain and Samuel Bell Lieutenant.  This affiant believes it was the 14 Regiment to which he was attached the line not recollected.  Some considerable time elapsed after the inlistment of affiant before they joined Head quarters, but when they did join affiant was put under the
command of Col Morgan. Some time after affiant was placed under Col Morgan they
went into winter quarters on Whitley Creek, in Pennsylvania, the first important action in which
affiant was ingaged was the Battle of Brandywine in which he participated, affiant
inlisted for three years but was not discharged for four months after the expiration of the three years on account of the new recruits not coming in. Affiant lay eighteen months in the Hospital near Brandywine on account of an attack of Rheumatism occasioned by exposures. Shortly after his recovery this affiant was Honorably discharged, which discharge amongst other things mentioned that affiant was intitled to two hundred acres of land which he has never obtained.  His discharge was signed by Gen’l. Lawson and has been lost or mislayed so that affiant is intirely deprived of the benefit of it. Immediately after his discharge from the Regular Service of the United States he returned to his native state
Page 52

In a few months after his return, this affiant
volunteered in the militia service to repell the British & Tories who had passed successfully
through South Carolina  North Carolina & had entered Virginia.  Affiant volunteered Captain David May & Lieutenant John Mitchell, and was joined to the Command of Major Thomas Rowland, Cols. W. Campbell & Wm. Preston and others at Staunton River  From thence they marched against the British & Tories who retreated before them into Guilford County near which place the army to which affiant was attached united with that of Genl Green. Shortly after the union with Genl Green, affiant was ordered with others to bring on an attack with the British & Tories at Alamance Creek. 
The officer who commanded in this ingagement was Major Thomas Rowland.  The Americans in this attachment were unsuccessful & had to retreat with the loss of seventy or 80 lives, four days after this a part of Genl. Greens
 Army Commanded by Cols. Campbell & Preston  and others had a sharp ingagement with the British & Tories on the Reedy fork of Haw River in which the British & Tories were again successful. In a few days after this affair these skirmishing parties in all of which this affiant bore his part were again united to the main Army under Genl Green when the ever memorable Battle of Guilford was fought in which this affiant bore his full share, affiant further states that shortly after this last named battle Lieutenant Mitchell left the Company & went home and one Wallace Estell succeeded him. After the Battle of Guilford, Genl. Greens Army meandered about through parts of North Carolina & Virginia manoevering with the British & Tories to Richmond from thence to Hot Water , from thence to James Town and from thence to Yourk, where the Siege Commenced,  in all the labors & duties of
 which this affiant was ingaged. after the Surrender of the British at York affiant aided in
guarding the prisoners to Winchester at which place he was discharged & served as a militia
volunteer about nine months.  Affiants discharge as a Volunteer Militia is herewith filed marked  A as well also as the affidavit of Wallis Estell marked B both of which are prayed to
be made a part of this declaration
Page 53

Affiant hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension or annuity except the present and declares that his name is not on the pension roll of the agency of any State in this union.
Sworn to & subscribed this 30 day of October 1832.

    This day personally appeared before me John W Holder Justice of the peace, and a Justice of the county court of Franklin county in the state aforesaid Wallis Estill Senior who being duly sworn on the Holy Evangelist of Almighty GOD deposeth and saith that he was acquainted with David McNeely a soldier in Capt. David May's company of Botetourt Militia in the year 1781;  that deponent was first Lieutenant in Capt May's company, and had the command thereof during the siege of York in the absence of Capt May;  that David McNeely the present applicant was a soldier in said company during the said siege, serving through the tour of duty, and was discharged by this deponent on the 8th day of November 1781 he being then the first Lieut. commanded said company, that the discharge now produced, signed by this deponent as Lieut and now marked A he verily believes is the one there given him by this deponent.  This deponent states that the said McNeely was to his knowledge in the militia service from shortly after the battle of Guldford Court
Page 56

until the date of his discharge.  This deponent has not seen the said McNeely for several years, and had heard he was dead, nor did he know otherwise until two days ago when said McNeely came to his house;  that he did not know him at first, but soon recognized him, and knows he is the same man mentioned in the discharge herewith enclosed.  Deponent knew said McNeely well, when he was under deponent's command, and knows he was a brave and faithful soldier.  Deponent has understood that said McNeely had served in the army before he came under the command of deponent.  That he had been in several engagements, particularly that of Guilford, but what precise service he had performed this deponent knows not, other than is herein before stated; And further this deponent saith not.

Sir,
     I now return, enclosed, the original & amended declarations of Mr. David McNeely.  You will find that the amended declaration makes the whole perfect, so far as regards his militia service - he is not now able to exhibit any further proof, as regards his service in the regular army, and, perhaps, never will be.  I hope you will reexamine his case as soon as possible (as he is great need) & award him whatever portion he is entitled to.
     Please inclose the certificate to me, as soon as convenient with your other duties.

                      Very respectfully,
                         Your obt. svt,
