The Petitions of John Hill respectfully herewith that early in the revolutionary war your petitioner entered into the service of this state, and continued therein until the close of the war, under the command of the late Col Baxter General Marion & Col Bentzer that during the said service he received several severe wounds, one in his body and one broke his right arm, that in consequence of the said wounds and being now old, he is entirely unable to support himself and family and is therefore exceedingly poor.  Shortly after the war your petitioner removed to North Carolina and remained there several years; that when he returned to Darlington District in this State he was informed that the Legislature was not disposed to allow claims like his own and therefore did not apply to the Legislature for aid. Since

the last session of the Legislature he has been informed that one of his neighbors & Mr. Steel had been placed on the pension list, and has therefore been encouraged to lay his - own claims before the Legislature. He therefore prays your Honorable body to take his case into consideration and grant him such relief as the merit of his case may entitle him to.

The Commissioner of Pensions

Dear Sir

Enclosed you will
find declaration made by the Heirs of John Hill
claiming Pension in the Rate of John Hill & also the
Rate of Savory Hill.   A declaration was made by the said party on the 28th Apl 1855. & the one here made is
an amendment to the one made them when that
declaration was made it was stated in the Declaration
that a family Record had been in the family of the
marriage of John Hill & Savory Hill, but it was also
stated that the said record could not be found that it
was lost or mislaid so it could not be found and
such being the case. Affidavit was made by persons
who said that they knew the said John Hill Savory Hill
and believed them to have been married, and that
they lived together as man & wife. but after these
affidavits were made-- there was one affidavit made
by Mrs Sarah Mercer saying that she knew them to have
been married that she was at the marriage this one
is very close, & I think sufficient to prove the marriage
Satisfactory. the memorial of John Hill which are
here enclosed before the legislator of S C is  sufficient to
prove service beyond a doubt that indents attached to the
Page 23

declaration in Apl 1885. was indents for the said
John Hill of Darlington. I have here sent
you this amendment, for you to take into cons
sideration with that made on 28th Apl 1855.
You will observe that one of the heirs has not
signed the declaration, this one is Joel Hill who
moved a way some several years ago and has not
been heard from by the family, and not hearing they
have concluded that he is dead-- but this need
not exclude the benefits from those who have made their
declaration from the portion, they may be entitled to please
notify me what is the result when you have considered
the chains set forth in the said Declaration at Darlington
C H  C O  [illegible] yours very Respectfully

Heirs of John Hill

Darlington At S.C
2nd May 1856

To the Commissioner of Pensions
Washington D.C

Dear Sir in reply to your letter of the 16th April 1856. Enclosed you will find a copy of Indents Issued to John Hill with his order to Robert Ellison with a facsimile of his signature to the order. You will see that this order was headed Cheraw S.C. When this order was given in 1791 this District was called Cheraw District. Cheraw District then embraced Chesterfield Marlboro & Darlington and all west by the name of Cheraw at the time the order was given to Robert Ellison. he Robt Ellison was a member to the Legislator from Darlington County. the county in which John Hill lived. I have written to Honl. Josiah I Evans, N.S. Senster who will give you statements in regard to this fact, & probaly he can give you some information in regard to the claimants, & c. Upon examination I find Anna Hill has not the record of her own children. She married when quite young. (She married a Hill who is now dead) the family record that She has commenced with the birth of her oldes child born 10 March 1807. & She states that
Page 38

She was seventeen or nearly seventeen years of age when her
oldest child was born. This would make her Sixty Six or Seven
years of age. If you wish the record of her childrens ages & c. I will send it you provided you will return it to me when you have examined it & If you wish other proof of the age of Anna Herd I will get it and send it to you.
Yours very Respectfully
M. A. Huggins
