State of Kentucky Green County Set
Personally appeared before me a Justice of the peace for said County and State above named on this 25th day of February 1833 William Barnett of said County who being duly sworn, deposeth and saith that by reason of old age and the consequent loss of memory, he cannot swear positively as to the precise length of his service in the army of the United States during the American Revolution but according to the best of his recollection he served not less than the periods mentioned before and in the grade of a soldier wholly, except on several occasions he acted as a sub altern officer for which however he makes no additional claim - For three years I served as a soldier, commencing in the year 1779 in the summer of that year tho as to the day of the month, or the month he cannot remember and ending in December 1782. The second tour served after the said Barnett was returned to health was, in the spring 1780. This service was performed in guarding the Camden jail in which there was a number of prisoners tories and others who had been arrested on a charge of uniting with the British in opposition to the United States. James Cannada was the Lieutenant commanding the force raised to guard the said jail, for which service the said Barnett volunteered and served ten months to best of his recollection, many of the prisoners had been taken as such in the County upon charges of aiding the British in opposition to the United States. He cannot say positively by whom the said Lieutenant Canada was ordered to raise the force to guard said jail but it was ordered on such occasions for the superior officers to order such detachments as were deemed necessary for that service & he presumes that his service was performed under such orders. He served his third tour under Captain Caldwell
Page 8

in Roan County North Carolina, in a company of militia, who commanded the regiment, he does not remember, but Colonel Locke commanded in the Battle of Ramsours Mills, that was in the year 1780 in the month of June and on the 20th day of June 1780 he was in the engagement at Ramsours
Mills with the tories at which time he was wounded. After recovering from his wounds he joined General Sumpter in a company commanded by Captain Crawford this was in the year 1780 also & this tour was served in the State of South Carolina in the service under Captain Caldwell, he did not remain longer than a week; from the summer of the year 1780 he continued with General Sumpter Marion & Green serving on various detachments while under their command until the fall of the year 1782 when he was discharged, at what place he could not now recollect it was however in South Carolina where the whole of his service was rendered except a small part of his time in Georgia and North Carolina - The said Barnett also stated that he was born in the State of Pennsylvania on the Susquehannah in Lancaster County in the year 1759 on the 15th day of May according to the family tradition, and his fathers family register - he has no record of his age, it was kept in his fathers family bible which came to the possession of another brother who removed to the State of Tennessee. From South Carolina to which place his father had removed with himself & his family when he was about five years of age he removed to Kentucky in the year 1783, and in this state he has continued to reside ever since and now resides in Green County in said State.
He is known in his neighbourhood to various person who could testify to his veracity, and particularly to the Reverend Johnston Graham and Whitfield Smith. For the services above named he claims from his country a pension.

Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War record of William Barnett who served with the South Carolina troops, and pensioned while living in Green County, Kentucky, and the record of Joseph Watson who served with the Virginia troops, and pensioned while a resident of Madison County, Kentucky.
Because of the great demand for Revolutionary War data and the limited trained clerical force available for furnishing such information, it is not possible to comply in full with each request which requires so much time and research.
You are furnished herein the Revolutionary War record of William Barnet, as found in papers on file in claim for pension, S. 30846, based upon his service in that war.
William Barnet was born May 15, 1759, on the Susquehanna River, in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. The names of his parents were not stated, he moved when about five years old, with his father and family to South Carolina.
While residing in Camden District, South Carolina, William Barnet volunteered in the summer of 1779, served as private in Captain Crawford's

He served a short while in the month of June, 1780, in Captain Caldwell's company, and was in the battle of Ramsour's Mill, where he was wounded. He served at various times from the summer of 1780 until in the fall of 1782, under Captain Crawford and Generals Sumter and Marion, was in the battles of Fishing Creek, Fish Dam Ford, and in an engagement at the head of Cooper River, and the battle of Camden. He stated that he was in five engagements under General Sumter, length of his entire service three years.
The soldier, William Barnet, moved from South Carolina, sometime in 1783, to Kentucky.
He was allowed pension on his application executed September 17, 1832, at which time he was a resident of Green County, Kentucky.
