Lexington District SS.
On this first day of May Anno Domini 1846 personally appeared in open Court, before the Court of Common Pleas of the said State now sitting at Lexington Court House, Thomas Rall a resident of Lexington District aforesaid aged Eighty three 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 7th 1832. He was born 23rd June 1762 in this district, then Orangeburgh, he has a record of his age at home. That he entered the Service of the United States under the following named Officers and served as herein stated to wit: 
He first entered the service as a volunteer in Captain Godfrey Drecher's Company stationed near Saluda in what is now Lexington District, and acting as a scouting Company against the Tories who infested the neighbourhood, from thence went to Granby, and was there stationed in the Fort a short time under Lieutenant Owens of the Volunteers, from thence proceeded to the Bridge across Congaree Creek near Granby, where he was stationed with the same Company & Commander to Guard the Bridge. The foregoing service was performed against the Tories, and not under any regular or Continental officer, and whether by order of the State, or any & what officer in the Army above the rank of Captain, this deponent is unable to state. After his service as aforesaid he was enrolled as a Militiaman in Capt. Bartholomew Gartmans Company, of Col. Waters regiment of Militia of South Carolina. After this, a draft of the militia was ordered, and a draft took place in Captain Bartholomew Gartman's company to which deponent was attached, and Deponent
Page 14

(2)
fell into the second division that is, those who were to perform the second tour of service. One Sebastian Hoffman was drafted among the first division for duty and Deponent became a substitute for him, and served out that tour after which, it being his own time according to the allotment, he entered in that service, and during that time, and about the time of the expiration of this tour, the Militia were discharged, himself among the number. His service as a substitute for Hoffman as above mentioned and as a draughted Militiaman was performed in Col Leroy Hammond's Regiment of Draughted Militia, and under General Green of the Continental Army, while stationed at Bacon's Bridge not far from Charleston, and took place near the close of the war after the Enemy's forces were confined mostly to Charleston. That he recd. no written discharge to his recollection. That by reason of old age and the consequent loss of memory, he cannot swear positively as to the precise length of service; but according to the best of his recollection he served not less than six months in the aggregate, at the various times and places before set forth, and of this he feels perfectly confident. That his service in Fort Granby before mentioned, was after its surrender to the Americans, that he was engaged in no battle during his service and made no Marches other than those above mentioned. And during the period of his service he was engaged in no civil employment or pursuit. That when he entered the service as aforesaid he was a resident of that part of the County now constituting Lexington District and was about nineteen years of age, he now lives, and he has lived ever since in Lexington district. That there is no person now living, who can testify to his services, and there is no
Page 15

(3)
documentary evidence within his knowledge, establishing the fact of his service, except the record in Comptroller's Office of South Carolina, of an indent which he received from the State of South Carolina, for his services as a revolutionary soldier. He states he is known to John Meetze and the Revd. Dr. Hazelius residing in his neighborhood, who can testify to his veracity and their belief of his services in the Revolution.
And the said Deponent 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.

Lexington CH. S.C. May 7,
My Dear Sir
I enclose the application of Mrs Barbara Rall for Bounty Land under the act of Congress approved March 3 1855. You will see from the application that the old lady is extremely aged, and when I add, that she is in most
necessitous circumstances, and that the services of her husband were performed in the revolution you will not hesitate to lay aside the general rule of taking up applications in their usual order, but will proceed to examine her claim at once, and if she has brought herself within the rules to issue the warrant
I have been compelled to prove that she was the wife of
Page 28

Thomas Rall by general reputation not knowing any old people in the neighborhood who were at the marriage. If any thing further should be required on this point I beg leave to refer you to the Hon James H. Hammond Senator in Congress, who knows the old lady personally and was also well acquainted with Old Mr. Rall.
Some years since when I drew up an application for Mrs. Rall for a pension under the directions of Judge Buttis who was then a senator, I had Mrs. Rall to prove in open Court, at this place, that she was the wife of Thomas Rall and I was under the impression that this proof was in Washington filed with her application for that purpose
Page 29

It may be human, that it has been mislaid & by Judge Butler's death no one knows exactly where it might be found.
I suppose hence upon this print there will be no difficulty as proof enough has been made.
I was sorry that Mrs R. could not state where and under whom Mrs. R. did service, but the old lady could not recollect, & I supposed by statements on file in this Pension Department would be the highest evidence on that point & I therefore referred to them in drawing up her application.
I have the honor to be very true & resply.

Sir
Permit me most respectfully, to inform you, that about the first of February last I received a communication from the Hon. A. Burt, in which was enclosed also a communication from yourself to him, respecting my claim presented to your department for a pension, for my services as a Soldier in the Militia at the closing of the Revolutionary War. It appears from your Letter to the Hon. A. Burt, that there is a difficulty as to the term of my service in said war, and that unless I can "shew to the satisfaction of the Department, that I served as much as 6 months actual service in a regularly organized Corps that I could not be granted a pension". I therefore will give the following explanation upon this point, Viz, as to the Certificate which you mention, as being received from the Comptroller General certifying that my term of service was only for three months, which is correct so far, I recd. (as it was called in those days at the close of the War,) an Indent, for my services, having served that term as a substitute, but for my services rendered in the militia, previous to this, was voluntarily on my part, consequently received no paper of evidence of that fact. It is entirely out of my power to offer to the Department, at
Page 32

this late period, any testimony, more than what I have set forth in my proceedings, upon my oath, as all those who were acquainted with me in those trying times have been cut off long since.
I can only say in conclusion, that I am truly sorry, that it is not in my power to give any further evidence upon that point; but that my service as estimated is upwards of Six months, as I have stated in my proceedings, to the Department, for a pension which were regularly executed, and sworn to in open Court. I hope therefore from all the circumstances, connected with my application, you will do me that justice, which is right, my application demands, as I am certain upon the point of my service being upwards of 6 months.
You will please give me an answer respecting my case, as soon as convenient.
I am very Respectfully,
Your Obt. Servant.

land will be allowed Mrs. Barbara Rall, upon her making application therefor in accordance with the enclosed form and instructions. She should prove her marriage, widowhood, and identity satisfactorily.
It is important that the papers filed in this office in support of her husband's claim to a pension be retained to justify an allowance of bounty land.

If compatible, please have the papers enclosed to me that I may advise the widow of said Thos. Rawl as to the proper course to pursue.

Hon. J. L. Edwards
Sir
Yours of Novr. the 1st last, and directed to R. Harman Esqr. was received and in which I see you state that "the affidavit of John Metze, shews clearly, that the tour of service under Col. Waters for which an Indent was issued in the name of claimants husband was of three months to duration only". Therefore from the above statement, permit me in answer, to say that you must be under a wrong understanding as respects my claim for a pension, as I do not understand your meaning by saying that "an Indent was issued in the name of Claimants husband", for the Indent above mentioned was issued in my own name, and I am now applying in my own name, & person, for a pension for my services as a Revolutionary Soldier.
And again it does appear that from your statement, you are in error as respects my term of service for in my previous statement I distinctly stated, & in my declaration, to which I swore in open Court that my term of service was at least six months, & I have also stated to you that the first part of my service I performed as a volunteer, & that the latter part of my service, & untill the close of the Revolutionary war, I served as a drafted
Page 44

or a substitute soldier, & it was for the latter part of my service that I recd.  an Indent & for the first part of my service, I could give no other proof untill I was so fortunate as to get the affidavit of my old friend & companion Mr John Metze, which I was highly gratified with the assurance of your being fully satisfied with my having given full satisfaction to your department, that my term of service was of Six months duration, at least, which the law requires.
In conclusion permit me to say in justice to myself, that the application which I have made to your department for a pension, I have made the same through honest, and pure motives, and as such beg leave most respectfully, in order to remove any doubt, or difficulty that might arise, that perhaps I was endeavouring to impose on your department in order to receive a pension through false pretensions & statements. I beg leave to refer you to the Hon. J.C. Calhoun, Hon. A.P. Butler, Hon. A. Burt & the Hon James A. Black as respects my character & situation, as they are acquainted with me & will with pleasure I know, give you all the information necessary as respects my character, and the justice of my claim for a pension.

Dear Sir
I again beg leave most respectfully to state, in answer to yours of the 22nd April last, which came duly to hand some time since, informing me that the rules of the Department require a specific narrative of each term - In addition to what I have previously stated, respecting my claims for a pension I can only furnish the department with the following specific data's, according to the best of my knowledge, and honest belief, Viz. I entered into the service of the Revolutionary War about the latter part of the year 1782, of the first part of the year 1783, as a volunteer, and for some time, continued in the service as a Volunteer. I then substituted in the service, and remained in Camp, under Col. Hammond at or near Bacons bridge in South Carolina, untill notice of the cessation of hostilities reached General Greens army, which were also encamped in the same section of the low County. As to the precise time, and date, I cannot give, but according to the best of my recollection & belief, this news was given our officer in command about the latter part of the full in September, or October of the same year 1783, which will make
Page 47

as I have previously stated to the Department that my term of service, being upwards of Six months, and as to this one point I am certain and not mistaken, in the term of service, which I rendered to my country in the good and glorious cause for liberty, and freedom-- I therefore hope that the foregoing may be full satisfactory to the department; and as such, I hope you will take my case into consideration, in as much as I am now quite feeble and infirm from having lived, to the good old age of Four score & five years the 23rd day of this Inst.
I wish you in conclusion again, to have the kindness to give me an answer, as soon as convenient, respecting my claim for a pension as herein set forth.
I am Very respectfully
