Proclamation in order to obtain the benefit of the act of congress of June 1839
[Dotted line separating section] 
State of North Carolina, Burke County on this 9th day of September 1836 personally appeared before me Redick Freeman, one of the [illegible] of the county court of pleas and quarter lessons for the county of Burke. Jacob Grider Senor [underlined] a resident in saint [illegible] of Burke [illegible] of state afore said aged Seventy Six years past: who being first duty Sworn as the law directs doth on his oath make the following declaration: in order to Stain the benefit of the act of congress passed June 7 day 1832. Deposited that he entered the Service of the [illegible] States the following named of [illegible[ and Serves as follows or hereafter states: my first tour was against the indians in 1778 the indians broke out in the fronteer [frontier] part of Burke county in which settlement my father was liveing [living] at that time were thinly settled and men and soldiers scarce. they commited [committed] several [sic] murders and roberies [robberies]. there were a general call for men a fort was immediately built and the people of all ages and statses [statuses] were called in to it for their safety. with captain Devenport at our head. News came that the [illegible] was duly expected to attack a small settlement on the north fork of a branch of the catawber [Catawba] river our captain took as many of his men as could be for the fort and marched to the relief of the exposed. I was one with him we collected all the families that were there and on our way to the fort we were attacted [attacked] by the indians and a warm ingavement [engagement?] ensued the indians fled we know not what they suffered we lost a few of our men and our captain for badly wounded but he recovered. As soon as our fight was over we hurryed [hurried] on with our little charge and got them safe into our fort we continued to defend our fort for six months we had a hard and trying time through a cold and fatigueing [fatiguing] winter in the spring the indians left them parts and the people returned to their homes and we received our discharge by our captain Martin Davenport. I have inclosed [enclosed] the oregenal [original] for this my tour but it being rushed and broke into peaces [pieces] one small pieces lost or mislaid that I cant find it. I have inserted a suppliment [supplement] containing the words of the lost piece. you must handle them as well as the nature of the case will admit of that is all the proof of that tour. there is but one person now liveing [living] as I know of that was in the fort and that is the widow Nancey Tucker. and she was o young that she has but a very imperfect recollecken [recollection] of things. and then in the last of March 1781 same tribe of Cherokee indians [illegible]ed the settlements on the head waters of the catawber [Catawba] river there Col Davidson had a farm and the people forted at that place called Davidson fort the captains were ordered to muster their men and call for volenteers [volunteers] and if men would not turn out for them to draft. they got volenteers [volunteers] enough among [illegible] I was one and we served under captain Smith of the first but he maried [married] the widow Davidson and went away and then captain McFarlan took the command of us and we served under him untill [until] the foretenth [fourteenth] day of September 1781 and on that day he gave us our discharge. as youmay see the oregenal [orginal] here inclosed [enclosed] it is much rubed [rubbed] but it is all here. this was a troublesum [troublesome] and dangerrous [dangerpus] time people tried to make a little crop and while they were at work we had watch and guard round their farms and protect them from their enemy the indians would steal the horses and by watching at private times would kill our hunters. after being discharged our captain McFarlan said that he was then a volenteer [volunteer] to go to wilmington with colonal McDowel and general Rutherford and he asked us boys who will go with me. I liked him as my captain and told him I would go and I did so I went by home and met him at W.M. McMullins on the road leading to Salisbury then we went on with col and captain and joined
Page 7

General Rutherford and then we marched down to Fayettville [Fayetteville] we met Col [illegible] men going home from the vacancy that we went to fill up we marched through [illegible] Johnston [illegible] land and several other counties were down cape fear [illegible] as Wilmington but brittish [British] were there and we did not give them to battle as we were not al [all] together McDowel was sent in a different rout [route] between the fifteenth and twentyeth [twentieth] of October news came that Lord Cornwallis was taken which [illegible] received with great transports of joy [illegible] platforms of muskets we continued to [illegible] among the [illegible] untill [until] [illegible] new year, then we were marched up into Malingburg [Mecklenburg?] county and discharged [illegible] then attacked to some bagage [baggage] wagons while we had to guard to Col McDowels house at the [illegible] in Burke county than [illegible] near home this was called the wilmington expodition [expedition] this ended my servises [services] of the old revolutions as a soldier. interogations [interrogations] when and where were you born. I was born in Virginia in L[illegible] county 7 July 1760. have you any record of your age and if so where is it. my father had a record and I had a copyed [copied] from that. where were you living when you were called into service and where have you lived since the revolutionary war and where do you now live. I was living in north carolina Burke county my father moved from Virginia and settled in Burke county  N.C. when I was ten years old and I was raised here and has lived here ever since in Burke. how were you called into service were you drafted did you volenteer [volunteer] or were you a substitute and of a substitute for [illegible] after my first tour of from September 17 seventeen hundred and seventy eight to seventeen hundred and seventy nine there was neither draft nor volenteering [volunteering] we were all called out to [illegible] and there were two [too] few of us at that. my second tour i volenteered [volunteered] under captain Smith and served with him until he got marryed [married] and went away then captain McFarlan took the command and my third tour captain McFarlan volenteered [volunteered] to go with Col McDowel  I volenteered [volunteered] with him. State the names of some of the regular of [illegible] who were with the troops where you [illegible] continental and militia regiments as you can recollect and the general circumstances of your Service. In my first tour we were a remote fronteer [frontier] people and was confined to stay there. there was no marching with companies no regiments, Captain Whitson came once to see us to inquire if we needed any assistance he was all the officer that came to see us for the term of six months. and the tour of five months and ten days at Davidsons station was also a fronteer [frontier] stand. but Col Davidson came to see us sometimes and our tour to wilmington with Gen Rutherford I saw but few officers or soldiers but our own regiment. for the greater part of officers and men were at the League [?] of Cornwallis. I saw Gen Pickins & Gen Davies Col Armstrong with his twelve month troops were on his return. And as for general circumstances I don’t know of any worth nameing [naming] other than than them expressed in the foregoing declaration. one circumstance occurs to my mind while we were in the fort in my first tour a respectable woman the name of McFawls had occasion to go a little distance from the fort one evening the indians in ambush shot her down and stabed [stabbed] her with a scalping nife [knife] and took off her scalp down to both [illegible] from her long stay she was sought for and found and carryed [carried] in and was nused [nursed] and she recovered and got [illegible] our captain took ten men and started next morning and we found their trail and followed and until night we then lay down without fire or light and in the morning we went on again and in half morn we came to their camp we then pushed a [illegible] over take them but we soon found they had scattered we supposed that they had discovered us we then returned to the fort. did you ever receive a discharge from your service and if so by whom was it given and what has become of them. I did receive from my first captain Martin Davenport a discharge for six months and from James McFarlen at davidsons for five months ten days. which discharges from the long abuse of fifty six fifty eight years they are much rubed [rubbed] and broke and some left but all that remains is here inclosed [enclosed] for inspection. my third to wilmington I received by discharge from Col McDowel at the [quaker meddows?] and that is for three months but it is lost or mislaid that I cant find it. I will try to prove that tour by Sherwood Bowman an old blind man he is the only liveing [living] man that I know of that was out with me in that wilmington tour. did you receive a commision [commission] and if so by who was it signed and what has become of it. I never received a commison [commission] I was a private soldier. Why have you not  mad [made] application before now for a pension under the act of 7 June 1832. The reason why I have not mad [made] earlyer [earlier] application us from my obscure situation I am a poor [illegible] deaf man and I hardly ever see any man that knows
Page 8

about publick [public] matters and when this I don’t know what they say unless they speak [illegible] unsuually and I have under stood that regular soldiers [illegible] a pension [illegible] until very likely that the [illegible] would [illegible] and I then took the first oppertunity [opportunity] to make out this my destenation [destination] state the names of to where you are known in your present neighbourhood [neighborhood] and who can testify as to your character or for [illegible] and their behalf of your servises [services] as a soldier of the revolution. I think that Alexander Abernathy will testify for me as a clergiman [clergyman] and Joshua Ballow will testify as private neighbors.

He hereby relinquishes every claim [ illegible] overe to a pension on [illegible] the present qne declares that his name is not on the pension roll of the angencey [agency] of any State only of that of the agency of the State of North Carolina that that is this present claim made in this declaration.
