Declaration in order to obtain the benefit
of the act of Congress of the 7th of June 1832.
State of Kentucky)
County of Muhlenberg) SS

On this 27th day of August 1832 personally
before the Judge of the Court of the Muhlenberg Circuit
William Young a resident of Muhlenberg
County & State aforesaid aged Seventy
seven 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, provision
made by the act of Congress passed
June 7th 1832. That he enlisted in the
army of the United States in the year
1777 with  Capt. Thomas Blackwell, and
served in the 10th Regiment of the Virginia
line, he acted as a Sergeant under the
following officers towit Col. Ed
Stephens Capt. Thomas Blackwell
Alexander Keith 1st Lieut Joseph Blacwell
2nd Lieut., & John Rust Ensign.
That he resided in Fauquier County Virginia
at the time, that in the spring of the
year 1777. We Received orders to convey
some Highlander prisoners who were
stationed at Fauquier Courthouse, to
Alexandria, from that place I was
sent back as a recruiting Sergeant
where I continued until some time perhaps
 in the month of October following.
We then joined the army at what was
Page 6

called White Marsh Camp, at which place
we had severe duty to perform & where I heard
the first gun fired that was intended to Kill
my fellow creatures, from this place we retired
into winter quarters at Valley forge, a place
notorious in the history of the Revolution.
In the Spring of 1778 some new regulations
took place in the army & our Regiment
took the name of the 6th Virginia Regiment
commanded by Col. John Green of Culpeper
County Virginia, at which time Capt
Blackwell left the army. I was
attached to the Company commanded
by Capt. James Williams.

From this time until we arrived to Monmouth 
Courthouse nothing of great
moment transpired, where we experienced
a very hot day both from the sun and
Canon & musket balls, We then took
up our encampment at White Plains
New York. Some time after this encampment 
I was taken sick with the camp
fevers, which rendered me incapable
of performing duty till next spring.
My officers were anxious for me to
retire to the Hospital but refusing to do so
as long as I could walk I fell in with
the baggage & went on to our winter
quarters. In the Spring 1779. there were three
Battalions raised in Virginia called 18
months men which were officered from
the Northern army towit by Cols. Parker
Heath & Buford, I was sent as a ┃
Page 7

now commissioned officer & attached to Col.
Bufords Battalion at Petersburg Virginia
where I remained until the expiration
of my enlistment, when & where my height
age occupation & Residence was taken which
I would suppose was deposited in the war
Department. I here received a discharge
from the Gallant Brig. Genl Charles Scott
which I have lost. In may 1781 I was
ordered into the militia & served two
months under Capt Jennings in the
Regiment commanded by Col Elias
Edmonds of Virginia, which we called
the Running Tour. In this Tour as well
the others I filled the office of Sergeant.
In the year 1789 I removed from Virginia to
Nelson County, Ky where I resided until
the year 1805, when I removed to Muhlenberg
County where I now reside.

I hereby relinquish every claim whatever to a
pension or annuity except the present and declare
that my name is not on the Pension Roll
of the agency of any State

Dear Madam:

Reference is made to your letter in which you furnish further
information in regard to William Young in whom you are interested.
You state that your citation in regard to his having been been a 
Revolutionary War pensioner in Woodford County, Kentucky, is shown
in the "Kentucky State Historical Society Register", Vol. 18, page
62, and add that William Young received his pension from Fauquier
County, Virginia. You request to know in what year the Revolutionary War
soldiers were allowed pensions, as you have noted that many
received their pensions in 1831 or 1833.

The Revolutionary War records have been searched again in your
behalf and there is no claim for pension on file which was made by
William Young (Yong, rung, Youngs, etc. ) of Woodford County,
Kentucky. The pension which that William Young received may have
been paid by the state from which he served. The record has been
found of the William Young of Fauquier County, Virginia, who later
lived in other counties in Kentucky. His record is furnished you
herewith as shown in his claim for pension, S. 14913, based upon his
service in the Revolutionary War.

Revolutionary War pensions were paid as early as 1785, for
disability incurred in service in line of duty. The first pension
as approved for service in the Revolutionary War was that of
March 18, 1818; another was approved May 15, 1828, and another,
June 7, 1832. These pensions are recorded in the Report of the
Secretary of War, in regard to the Pension establishment, printed
in 1835.

a history is furnished only to the soldier's descendants, and to them only when it is desired for historical

Dear Sir:

Your courteous letter of
March 27th. in reply to an inquiry
of mine, was received. You ask me
to send the name of the list upon
which I found the name of William
Young, pensioner, recorded. It was in
the "Kentucky State Hist Society
Register, Vol. 18, page 62-
"William Young from Woodford
Co. Ky. who received a pension for
Revolutionary service." From what
source the historical Society got
this record, I have no idea but
Young family did go to Woodford
Co from Virginia, I know that to
be a fact, but may have died in
another county.
hold you tell me what year
Page 29

the law was passed giving pensions
or land to the soldiers of the Revl. 
& when the soldiers started receiving
these rewards? Most pensioners, I
note received their pension or County

Please send me what you may find
concerning a possible Rev. service record of
the following from Faquier County, Virginia.

William Young, whose will was recorded there in 1792.
James Young, whose will was recorded there in 1799.
-
I am searching for the parents of John Young or a
Thomas Young of that place. John Young married
Euphemia Young Humphrey, and may have had a son,
Thomas. Perhaps they were brothers.

Have you a roster of the Culpeper Minut
men, commanded by the Marshalls? Does it contain the
name of a Young?

Thanking you,
Mrs. Leslie O. Campbell

XI. Has the applicant obtained the evidence of a clergyman and another respectable citizen as to
their belief respecting his age and the general belief in his neighborhood relative to his revolutionary
service? Yes

XII. If the clergyman's affidavit has not been produced, is there any reason assigned for not obtaining it?

XIII. If the applicant has no documentary evidence, and has not obtained the testimony of at least one

XIV. If the applicant's name is not found on the rolls of military service, has he produced a witness

If he has produced direct proof as to service, has the magistrate who administered the oath,
certified to the credibility of the witness or witnesses?
Has the proper officer certified to the official character and signature of the magistrate as the
regulations direct?

XV. Does it appear from any of the papers that the witness was in such a situation, or of such an age,
as to have a personal knowledge of the applicant's service?

XVI. Are the papers authenticated as the regulations direct? Yes

XVII. Are the seven interrogatories prescribed by the War Department answered satisfactorily? And,
if not, which of them is not so answered? 1, 2, 7 not answered

EXPLANATORY NOTES.
*QUERE V. In a case where the applicant cannot, by reason of the loss of memory, state precisely how
long he served, he should amend his declaration by making an affidavit in the following words:
"Personally appeared before me, the undersigned, a Justice of the Peace, &c. A. B. 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, but according to the best of his recollection
he served not less than the periods mentioned below, and in the following grades; For  year--
months, and --- days, I served as a  For --  months
and days, I served as a-- ; and for such service I claim a pension.
Page 46

It is important in all cases to determine with precision the period for which each applicant served,
and the particular rank he held, as the law directs the pension to be paid according to the grade of the
pensioner and the length of his service. The use of the phrase about three or four months is too indefinite, 
and all such qualifying expressions are objectionable. Some persons who apply for pensions
merely state they served two years in the militia, &c. without specifying the tours; the names of the
officers, and other particulars respecting their service. This form of a declaration is highly objectionable. 
It must in every case be clearly shewn under what officers the applicant served; the duration
of each term of engagement; the particular place or places where the service was performed; that the
applicant served with an embodied corps called into service by competent authority; that he was either
in the field or in garrison; and for the time during which the service was performed, he was not employed
in any civil pursuit.

QUERE XIV. Proof of Service.
In a case where the name of the applicant is not found on the records of the Department, he must
prove his service by two credible witnesses, who are required to set forth in their affidavits the time of
regiment, company, and line to which he belonged. The magistrate who may administer the oaths
must certify to the credibility of the witnesses, and the official character and signature of the magistrate
must be certified by the proper officer, under his seal of office.

QUERE XVI. Mode of authenticating papers.
In every instance where the certificate of the certifying officer who authenticates the papers is not
written on the same sheet of paper which contains the affidavit, or other paper authenticated, the certificate
must be attached thereto by a piece of tape or narrow ribbon, the ends of which must pass
under the seal of office of the certifying officer, so as to prevent any paper from being improperly
attached to the certificate.

>>In every case where the clerk of the court, or other certifying officer, has no public seal of
office, the certificate of a member of congress, proving the official character and signature of the
certifying officer, should accompany the papers.
