State of Kentucky, County of Floyd
On this 25th day of October 1832, personally appeared in open Court, before the Judge of the Floyd Circuit Court, Simeon Justice of the said County and State aged 67 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.
That he entered the service of the United States under the following named officers, and served as herein stated. He states that he was born in Pittsylvania County Virginia on the 4th day of June 1765, his age was recorded in the family Bible, which his father left at his death & which
he supposes his mother has also left as she is likewise dead and died in South Carolina a few years ago. From Virginia he went with his father to Rutherford County North Carolina & and a short time removed to Ninety Six district in South Carolina in which district at Fort Rutledge, this petitioner, his father John Justice and his brother John Justice, on the first day of June 1777 enlisted or volunteered under Captain Benjamin Tutt -- who paid each of us $30 in Cash as bounty money -- our enlistment was for three years, which he (this petitioner) served out, the
greater part of the time at Fort Rutledge, but about four months, to wit from February to May 1780, he with a few others were sent from Fort Rutledge to Augusta in Georgia. It was early in June 1780 before he returned to Fort Rutledge & his time had expired but as times were very 
squally it was thought
Page 11

imprudent to discharge the men at the Fort. That in a few weeks after he returned to Fort Rutledge, that place was taken by the British and he with all of Captain Tutt's Company who were then in the Fort were taken prisoners and on the 2nd day of July he was suffered to go at large on parole -- his parole is here shown -- And on the said 2nd of July, on the back of his parole, Captain Benjamin Tutt gave him his discharge. He
served about one year of his time as a private and the remainder as the drummer to the Company.
General [Andrew] Williamson was the Commander of the district, but there was no other Company at Fort Rutledge but Captain Tutt's. He states that he was discharged at Fort
Rutledge. He lived in South Carolina until 1795 or thereabouts when he moved to what is now the State of Tennessee where he resided four years and then removed to the County of Buncombe and State of North Carolina -- After a residence in the latter place for about eight years he
removed in 1807 to Sandy River in the State of Kentucky where he has resided ever since. He states that he is well acquainted with William Salsberry, a clergyman and General Alexander Lackey and many others. He knows of no person by whom he can prove his service at present.
He has proven it before but the witnesses are now dead. He 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. Sworn to and subscribed the day & year aforesaid.
