State of Tennessee August 18th 1818.
Warren County
Be it remembered that on this day personally appeared before me Parry W. Humphries one of the judges of the circuit courts of law in the State of Tennessee. Anjer Price of said county and state and made oath That on the 27th day of February 1776 he inlisted as a soldier in Captain Richard Campbell's company of riflemen belonging to the 8th regiment of the Virginia line commanded by Col Peter Muhlenberg. That at the time of his inlistment he lived in the county of Shenandoah in the State of Virginia and inlisted in said county. After his inlistment he entered the service of his country and about three months thereafter as well as this affiant recollects he was in a scouting party near Norfolk Virginia under Capt. Campbell and received in a skirmish which took place a wound in his thigh the impression of which he still wears. On the 4th day of October 1777 this affiant fought in the battle of Germantown and on Sunday the 28th day of June following he fought in the battle of Monmouth This affiant continued in service in the 8th regt. from the period of his inlistment till some time in the year 1778 when the 8th regiment was consolidated with the fourth and afterwards was called the 4th regiment of the Virginia line, which was placed under the command of Col. John Green of Culpepper County Virginia. Some time in the year 1779 at Middlebrook-New Jersey this
Page 5

affiant being at that time a sergeant left the 4th regiment and was sent from that place to Petersberg Virginia with several officers among whom was Col. Richard Parker who was appointed to take command of some new troops drafted for eighteen months. While this affiant was at Petersburg in Virginia he was appointed a waggon (wagon) master in the first regiment of new levies commanded by Col. Parker and in that capacity marched with his regiment to the state of Georgia. This affiant with the regiment to which he belonged left Petersburg the 28th day of June 1779 and arrived at the town of Augusta on the 4th day of August following. From that place this affiant with the regiment to which he belonged was marched to the siege of Savannah. After the siege raised this affiant still being a waggon master as aforesaid was marched back with his regiment to the town of Augusta and on the 22nd day of December 1779 he received his discharge from his colonel Richard Parker. After the revolutionary was over this affiant had it in contemplation to settle in the State of Georgia. And in 1783 being in the State of South Carolina he gave the custody of his papers among which was his discharge to a relation of his own named Mary Price who was going to the State of Georgia to live. The said papers were put in the chest of the said Mary and shortly afterward she removed to the State of Georgia. This affiant intended at the time he put his papers in the possession of his said relation to go to the state of Georgia to live but some time afterwards he
Page 6

changed his intention and lived in the State of South Carolina [and crossed out] for two years and then removed to the [State of South crossed out] county of Russel Virginia. This affiant never saw his discharge after he gave it to his relation and believes that it is now lost.
This affiant further states that he is now a citizen of the county of Warren in the State of Tennessee: That he has arrived at the advanced age of sixty two and by reason of the bodily infirmity incident to old age he is unable to support himself and his family by manual labor. That misfortune has reduced him to poverty and he now stands in need of the assistance of his country for support.

Dear Sir:

Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War record of Littleton Long, of North Carolina, wife Martha Shelton Long, Anger Price, of Virginia, wife Jane Price, Lodomon Shelton, of North Carolina wife Ruth Shelton, Jacob Hiestand of Pennsylvania, Charles Carroll of Virginia, wife Sarah Johnson Carroll and of Micaja Pickard of North Carolina, wife Sarah.

There is no claim for pension on file based upon service in the Revolutionary War of a Littleton Long, Lodomon Shelton, Jacob Hiestand, Charles Carroll, nor Micaja Pickard. You are furnished herewith the Revolutionary War record of Anjer (Anger) Price as found in pension claim W.1973.

Anjer Price was born February 27, 1756 in Culpeper County, Virginia, names of his parents are not shown.

While a resident of Shenandoah County, Virginia Anjer Price enlisted February 27, 1776, in Captain Richard Campbell's company of riflemen, Colonel Peter Muhlenberg's 8" Virginia Regiment, and while on a scouting party at Norfolk, Virginia was in a skirmish in which he was wounded in the thigh, was in the battles of Germantown, and Monmouth. In 1778 he was promoted to sergeant in Colonel John Richard Parker's Virginia regiment, and in 1779 was wagon master in Colonel Richard Parker's Virginia regiment, was at the siege of Savannah and was discharged December 22, 1779. He gave his discharge papers to a relative by the name of Mary Price, who went to the State of Georgia to live.
Page 19

After Anjer Price left the service he lived in the State of South Carolina for two years, then moved to Russell County, Virginia and from there to Warren County, Tennessee.

The soldier was allowed pension on his application executed August 18, 1818, at which time he was a resident of Warren County, Tennessee.

He died December 10, 1829, in Warren County, Tennessee.

Anjer Price married April 10, 1783, in Shenandoah County, Virginia, Jane Price, who was his cousin. She was born October 3, 1765, in Granville, County, North Carolina, names of her parents are not shown.

Soldier's widow, Jane Price, was allowed pension on her application executed October 14, 1839, in Coffee County, Tennessee at which time she was a resident of Warren County, Tennessee.

In 1821, it was stated the following named children of Anjer and Jane Price were living with them in Warren County, Tennessee:
Reuben, aged thirty-four years; Polly aged sixteen years and Patsy aged thirteen years.

In 1842, Colonel A.J.Price was referred to as the son of Anjer and Jane Price.

Sir:
Further investigation in the claim of Anger Price to a Pension has been had; and I have to state, that the proof offered of his services is not satisfactory. Neither of the Affidavits of Lucy Price or Reuben Price proves his services to have been on the Continental establishment and the former does not prove anything, of a definite character. From the tenor of the claimant's declaration it may be supposed that he did serve as therein stated, but as his name is not found on the Virginia Rolls it is indispensably necessary that his services should be fully substantiated by credible and disinterested witnesses. His papers are returned.

Sir,
The papers in the case of Mrs. Jane Price, widow of Anger Price, deceased, have been examined and filed with suspended cases. She should make a declaration which should be drawn up and authenticated as prescribed in the enclosed printed instructions. If there be a family record of her marriage, or of the births of her children it should be exhibited. If there be none, the claimant should state the fact under oath, and the witness should amend his affidavit and give a full statement of the circumstances from which he is enabled to determine the period of the marriage. If the clerk of the Court who may certify to the official character and signature of the magistrate before whom the affidavits may be made has no seal of Office, his official character and signature should be certified by a Member of Congress.

Hon. H. L. Turney:
Dr Sir,
At the request of our friend Col. A. J. Price, on behalf of his aged mother, I enclose you a letter of Mr. Edwards, Commissioner of Pensions, and the deposition of Richard Price, and the deposition of Mrs. Jane Price, widow of the late Anger Price, a revolutionary Pensioner.
The depositions seem to me fully to supply the additional proofs mentioned in Mr. Edwards' letter as being necessary to extend the pension to Mrs. Price under the Act of 1838.
If any other proofs or certificates are necessary, it is probable, that on your suggestion Col. Price can supply them. The instructions (printed) from the Pension Office contemplate that members of Congress can state facts within their knowledge as to identity of persons, official character &c. - I shall write you again in two or three days in regard to private affairs. Hugh Francis is here at our Court. All is well.
yours respectfully,
S. H. Laughlin.

I herewith enclose to you the papers of Anger Price among which I trust will be found sufficient vouchers to substantiate his claim to a pension for revolutionary services - Also a letter from Mr J.

In a statement to those heretofore transmitted are the affidavit of James McKinney, Michael Sword, and William Tipton disinterested and credible witnesses that have been obtained with considerable trouble on account of the local instructions of the parties
It is desirable that the testimony now be sufficient to substantiate the services of Mr Price as stated in his declaration and I hope that he will know that belief that his situation, age, & infirmities seem to be good
