In the same year we rendevous'd and started to Charleston to repel the attack on Fort Moulton_ but learning the British had retired we were dismiss'd [dismissed]. In the spring of 1779. I marched to Black Swamp on the Savannah River under Capt. Walker, in Col.

Lacy's Regiment until I took the Small Pox, which confined me for a long time, and had well nigh deprived me of life. As soon as recovered, I again joined Lacy's Regiment, and served with him and Col McGriff in several small skirmishes in different parts of the state, and served about three weeks in the State troops in the place of my brother who was kill'd [killed]- and some time afterwards I was stationed a short time at the Blockhouse at Col.

Persons who served on board of private armed vessels are also excluded from the benefits of the law, as well as persons who turned out as patrols, or were engaged. in guarding particular places at night, and were not recognized as being in actual military service.
Four general classes of cases are embraced in this law:
1. The Regular Troops.
2. The State Troops, Militia, and Volunteers.
3. Persons employed in the Naval Service.
4. Indian Spies.
As rolls of the regular troops in the Revolutionary War exist in this Department, all persons claiming the benefit of this law as officers, non-commissioned officers, musicians or privates, will, in the first instance, make application by transmitting the following declaration, which will be made before a Court of Record of the County where such applicant resides. And every Court having by law a seal and Clerk is considered a Court of Record.

declares that his name is not on the Pension Roll of any Agency in any State, or (if any) only on that of

In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and seal of office (i) this
day of
& c.
If, on examination of the proper record, the names of applicants, making such declaration, cannot be
found, they will produce such proof as the rule given in note (j) points out
Every applicant who claims a pension by virtue of service in the State Troops, Volunteers or Militia,
except those who belonged to the New Hampshire Militia and State Troops of Virginia, will make and
subscribe a declaration similar to the foregoing, with the following additions, viz:
(k) We, A. B., a Clergyman, residing in the

And the said Court do hereby declare their opinion, after the investigation of the matter, and after

who has signed the preceding certificate is a clergyman, resident in the

I,
Clerk of the Court of
contains the original proceedings of the said Court, in the matter of the application of
do hereby certify that the foregoing
for a pension.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and seal
of office, this
day of
& c.
Every applicant will produce the best proof in his power. This is the original discharge or commission
; but if neither of these can be obtained, the party will so state under oath, and will then procure, if
possible, the testimony of at least one credible witness, stating in detail his personal knowledge of the services
of the applicant, and such circumstances connected therewith, as may have a tendency to throw light
upon the transaction.
If such surviving witness cannot be found, the applicant will so state in his declaration, (l) and he will
also, whether he produce such evidence or not, proceed to relate all the material facts, which can be useful
in the investigation of his claim, and in the comparison of his narrative with the events of the period of his
Page 15

3
alleged service, as they are known at the Department. A very full account of the services of each person
will be indispensable to a favorable action upon his case The facts stated will afford one of the principal
means of corroborating the declaration of the applicant, if true, or of detecting the imposition, if one be attempted:
and unless, therefore, these are amply and clearly set forth, no favorable decision can be expected.
.All applicants will appear before some Court of Record in the County in which they reside, and
there subscribe and be sworn to, one of the declarations above provided, according to the nature of his
case.
The Court will propound the following (m) interrogatories to all applicants for a pension, on account of
service in the Militia, State troops, or Volunteers, except the Militia of New Hampshire and the State
troops of Virginia.
1. Where and in what year were you born?
2. Have you any record of your age, and if so, where is it?
3. Where were you living when called into service; where have you lived since the Revolutionary war,
and where do you now live?
4. How were you called into service; were you drafted, did you volunteer, or were you a substitute?
And if a substitute, for whom?
5. State the names of some of the Regular Officers, who were with the troops, where you served; such
Continental and Militia Regiments as you can recollect, and the general circumstances of your services.
6. To a Soldier.{ Did you ever receive a discharge from the service, and if so, by whom was it given, 
and what has become of it?}
To an Officer. {Did you ever receive a commission, and if so, by whom was it signed, and what
has become of it?}
7. State the names of persons to whom you are known in your present neighborhood, and who can testify
as to your character for veracity, and their belief of your services as a soldier of the Revolution.
The Court will see that the answers to these questions are embodied in the declaration, and they are
requested to annex their opinions of the truth of the statement of the applicant.
The applicant will further produce in Court, if the same can be done, in the opinion of the Court,
without too much expense and inconvenience to him, two respectable persons--one of whom should be
the nearest clergyman, if one lives in the immediate vicinity of such applicant, who can testify, from
their acquaintance with him, that they believe he is of the age he represents, and that he is reputed
and believed in the neighborhood to have been a Revolutionary soldier, and that they concur in that opinion.
If one of these persons is a Clergyman, the Court will so certify, and they will also certify to the character
and standing of other persons giving such certificates.
The traditionary evidence of service is deemed very important, in the absence of any direct
proof, except the declaration of the party. And the Courts are requested to be very particular in the
enquiry whether the belief is general, and whether any doubts have ever existed upon the subject.
Applicants unable to appear in Court, by reason of bodily infirmity, may make the declaration before
required, and submit to the examination, before a Judge or Justice of a Court of Record of the proper
county, and the Judge or Justice will execute the duties, which the Court is herein requested to perform,
and will also certify that the applicant cannot, from bodily infirmity, attend the Court.
Whenever any official act is required to be done by a Judge or Justice of a Court of Record,
or by a Justice of the Peace, the certificate of the Secretary of State or Territory, or of the proper
Clerk of the Court or County, under his seal of office, will be annexed, stating that such person is a
Judge or Justice of a Court of Record, or a Justice of the Peace, and that the signature annexed is
his genuine signature.
No payments can be made on account of the services of any person, who may have died before
the taking effect of the act of June 7, 1832; and in case of death subsequent thereto, and before the
declaration herein required is made, the parties interested will transmit such evidence as they can procure,
taken and authenticated before a Court of Record, showing the services of the deceased, the period
of his death, the opinion of the neighborhood respecting such services, the title of the claimant, and the
opinion of the Court upon the whole matter.
[a] The declarant must appear in open Court, unless prevented from doing so by reason of bodily infirmity; in which case the declarant will follow
the rule laid down for his guidance.
[b ]The declarant must make his declaration in the county where he resides. If he should fail to do so, he must assign a sufficient reason for not
conforming to the rule.
{[c] The age of the claimant must invariably be mentioned.
[d] The declarant must mention the period or periods of the war when he served.
[e] Every continental officer or soldier must give the name of the Colonel under whom he served; otherwise a satisfactory examination of the
claim cannot br had. Every claimant must state, with precision, the length of his service, and the different grades in which he served, in language so
definite as to enable the Department to determine to what amount of pension he is entitled. 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 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."
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 that 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 shown 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 hold or in garrison; and for the time during which the service was performed, he was not employed in any civil
pursuit.}
[f] The law makes the relinquishment indispensable.
[g] The opinion of the Court is always required.
[h] The Clerk must give his certificate in every case.
[i] The Clerk must affix his seal, and if it has no device or inscription by which it can be distinguished from any other seal, or if he 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.
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 papers 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.
Proof of Service.
[j]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 the claimant's entering the service, and the time and manner of his leaving the same, as well as
the 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.
->The notes from to are all equally applicable to the cases of Militia men, Volunteers and State Troops. The proof required by rule in
note [j] applies to continental troops only.
[k] This traditionary evidence is indispensable in militia cases.
[l] If a witness cannot be found, the declarant must state the fact.
[m] The answers must all be written, and sent to the War Department, with the declaration.}

Samuel Morrow
W. 21825
Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you furnish
further data regarding Samuel Morrow, the Revolutionary War soldier
in whom you are interested.
Another search of the Revolutionary War records has been
made and no claim for pension found based upon service of a Samuel
Morrow identical with your description. The record has been found of
a Samuel Morrow of South Carolina whose widow, Janet, received a
pension. The data which follow are found in the papers on file in
that claim, W.21825, based upon his service in that war, as it may
aid you in your research.
Samuel Morrow was born March 19, 1760, in Baltimore, Maryland; 
his parents were Irish, their names not stated. They took
Samuel, when a child of about five years, to Chester District, South
Carolina, where they lived at the beginning of the Revolutionary War,
they moved "the fall before Charleston was taken" to Spartanburg,
District, that state.
Samuel Morrow, while a resident of Chester District, South Carolina,
enlisted in April 1776, and served one month as private in
Captain Patton's company, Colonel Winn's South Carolina regiment; he
was called out again that same year to repell an attack on Fort Moultrie,
length of this service not stated. He enlisted in the spring of 1779,
and served four months and nine days as corporal in Captain Walker's
company, Colonel Winn's South Carolina regiment, during which he marched
to the Black Swamp on the Savannah River, and was in a skirmish at
Coosawhatchie Bridge. He enlisted early in June 1780, served as private
Page 23

during the remainder of that year, also in the year 1781, in
Captains Roebuck's, McClure's and John Mills' Companies, under
Colonels Thomas and Lacey in the South Carolina troops, during
which service he was in the battles of Rocky Mount, Hanging Rock,
Kings Mountain, and in a skirmish with the Tories in which two
Scotch captains and a lieutenant were taken prisoners; a part of
this time, he served as substitute for his brother, John Morrow,
who was killed (the date of his death not stated). Samuel Morrow
served three weeks in the year 1782, stationed at a block house
at Colonel Lacey's. The soldier stated that he was in many
skirmishes, was confined by severe illness with smallpox in 1781,
and suffered the loss of his horse and clothing; also, referred to
his relatives in Chester District, South Carolina, and to "Captain
McClure, being my kinsman", degree of relationship not given.
Samuel Morrow was allowed pension on his application executed
September 24, 1832, at which time he resided in Spartanburg District,
South Carolina. He died February 19, 1842.
The soldier married December 27, 1781, Janet Nelson, who was
born in the year 1760, in County Down, Ireland, and was brought to
America by her parents in the year 1772; the names of her parents are
not shown. Samuel Morrow joined the Fishing Creek Church in the
fall of 1782.
Janet Morrow, the soldier's widow, was allowed pension on her
application executed December 10, 1844, at which time she resided in
Spartanburg District, South Carolina. She died April 14, 1849.
In 1844, John Morrow, the son of Samuel Morrow and his wife,
Janat, made affidavit in behalf of his mother's claim for pension, in
Spartanburg District, South Carolina.
The following family data are recorded: children

I herewith return the papers of Samuel
Marrow for a pension to the Pension
Department The old Gentleman has made
the amendment in his own language, has
given a short historical account of his
Revolutionary services and has not called
on Wm Trimmier Esquire who drew his
original declaration & first amendment
to aid him. The old gentleman is an
Irishman who during the Revolutionary
war, as I had have ever understood & fully
believe, made the army, during the
war, his home. I am fully of the opinion
I heard nothing in saying he may be
classed among the first citizens in this
State or in the United States or in the
world for upon witness of conduct, that
& integrity morality or Christianity.
He is one of those of whom all
men speak well. Your immediate
attention will much oblige him

Sirs:
The 2 known children of Samuel Morrow (or Murrow)
Are Jane and Thomas Morrow,
Thomas Morrow, son of Samuel Morrow was born
1765 -- Died Nov. 16, 1846. Married Janet McCarter
who was born 1768, died 1835 Evidence the McCarters
were from Virginia. Thomas Morrow lived between
Long Cane Creek and Little River in Abbeville or
96 District, South Carolina. In 1810 he and all of
his family, save one married daughter possibly,
moved to Logan County, Kentucky where he died.
He left 10 children, one of whom Thos Morrow Jr.,
was the forbear of the late Walker D. Hines, Atty.
of New York (grandfather) Capt. Fleming Bates of
Virginia and South Carolina and Thos Morrow Marries Sisters and
lived as near neighbors. Loyalist neighbors were
numerous and very hostile-for which reason part
of his Capt F Bates military service was rendered in Virginia,
so family record claims.
Jane Morrow, daughter of Samuel Morrow, died 1823,
married 1779 or 1780 James (Couples) Foster called "Master
Foste"r for his life-work was teaching in the Long
Canes at Long Cane Church. Esquire James Foster, Jane
Morrow Foster's first child, was born Jan. 1780.
Page 47

2
She had 8 children; her second child was called Samuel.
Jane Morrow Fosters husband, James Foster (11) was a Revolutionary
soldier, as was his father, James Foster Sr.
Both James Fosters - junior and senior, lived on Long Cane
- James junior living hard-by Parsons Mountain James Junior
in old age, removed with his entire family, save James 3rd,
to Ohio and thence to Indiana and Illinois. He is buried
at Spring Hill, Ind. Age at death, 84. Both Snior and
Junior James Fosters records were approved by D.A.R.s.
Both seved in 96 District, South Carolina, James senior
is listed on Capt. Joseph Calhouns pay bill, in Col Andersons
Regiment, widow, Mary, James Sr having died by 1788.
Again we find James Foster Junior in militia of Capt. John Mcgaw,
since the reduction of Charleston, and is on pay-bill.
This leads to, or is the back-ground of this family
story told me by my Grandmother, Jane Morrow Foster, named for Jane Morrow,;
"My grandfather, James Foster Jr. was envited by his captain,
Capt. Samuel Morrow, to go home with him. He there
met Jane Morrow Samuel Morrows daughter, and later married
her. -- This had to be in early 1780 or 1779 or earlier, since
their first child was born October 1780. The Fosters had
come directly to and remained on Log Cane on coming to
America. Had Saml Morrow lived in the same section, James
Foster Jr. would have known Capt. Samuel and also his daughter.
Jane Morrow. James Foster saw service in Spartanburg
and in eastern part of state. There are numerous other
Morrows on Long Cane at that time or soon after who are
connected, and who came to Long Cane from North Carolina.
Page 48

3
Samuel Morrow "came into Long Cane section", but evidence
is he was not here long(?). His 2 children here in 1790, Jane and
Thomas lived some 6 or 8 miles from each other here on
Long Cane.
We do not know the name of Capt. Saml. Morrows wife, or
where or when she died. From the frequency of use of
the name "JANE" through all lines and generations
that name is not without a meaning.
We do not know other service that Capt. Samuel Murrow
or morrow may have rendered or where rendered. In Charleston
Library we found reference to one Saml Morrow (marine), -
this date I have mislaid.
Then one Samuel Morrow of evidently Long Canes, since
In William Calhouns journal we find this entry, "Saml
Morrow married Elizabeth Carmichal Ye 9th Day of October,
1766". If this could possibly be our man, then it was a second
marriage since Thomas Morrow's grave stone gives his
birth as 1765, and if our Jane is of this union theirs
would have been a very young marriage. One Elizabeth
Morrow does receive pension.
Both Jane and Thomas Morrow record is that Samuel Morrow
was killed at his own door by a Tory neighbor, which
must have been around 1776 or 1778 -- (?)

Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request
the Revolutionary War records of Robert Cranford of Ninety-Six
District, South Carolina, and a William Dale, or other Dale, of
Abbeville or Ninety-Six District, that state, also, information in
regard to Captain Samuel Murrow (Morrow) of said Ninety-Six
District, or possibly of North Carolina, who had two children married
and living in Ninety-Six District in 1790.
There is no claim for pension or bounty land on file based
upon service in the Revolutionary War of a William Dale of South Carolina, nor the Captain Samuel Morrow, or Murrow, cited by you. If
the Samuel Morrow rendered other service than that of a captain, and
you will furnish as much as possible of the following data in regard
to him, another effort will be made to aid you: approximate dates
of his birth and death, the given name of his wife or widow, and the
names of his children referred to by you. No record of another
soldier of South Carolina with the surname Dale could be identified
without his full name.
Very truly yours,
A. D. HILLER,
Executive Assistant
to the Administrator.

Sir I Received yours of may
May 29th 1833
And will lay before you such facts as I can recolect, for
I have no written documents, not I dont know where I could
find men that could prove all my Serveses, [services] But I expect
that there is men living that could prove them all, but
the first months service; but I cant get them that could prove what I did before nor I cant
collect dates was taken nor the names of some officers that I served
with my services is being done in different Brigades
my parents lived in Chester District in 1776 wens Rent
Walkers Company, and there was a few men taken out of
different Companys and put under Capt Patton, and marched
about the first of April 1776, across Broad River and we were
Stationed at the house of Coln Summers between Broad and Saluda
Rivers, in order to keep down the kings party in that vincely [vicinity]
and stayed till marched back and dismissed. Served one month
that touer, [tour] met more troops as we came in, going out I dont know
where they went- And on hearing of the british coming to
Town I again marched under Capt Walker for town but
hearing that they were defeated at fort Mootery, [Moultrie?] and gon we were
sent back. - out but a few days- I only mention it-
And in the spring of 1779 I again marched under Capt. Walker
with other Company to Orangeburg, and there a small army
Randevoused under Genl Mootery  [Moultrie] and I think that Governor
Rutledge reveiwed us there, from there we marched to Black
Swamp near the two sisters ferry on Sawna [Savannah] River, and lay there
till we heard that Genl Provost was acrossing the River at
Puresburg [Purrysburg?] and then gent Mootery [Moultrie] made a forced march to
get to Cooseyhachey [Coosawhatchie?] brige [bridge] before him, and then crossed
July fine River, and then waited the approach of the enemy
and a detachment from our main body went and reinforced our
main guard at Cossyhacke [Coosawhatchie?] Brige, [bridge] and had a smart little Serman
the said that it was Col. Lawrance comanded he was wounded in
the arm. But we had all to retreat and burn the briges [bridges] and
fall trees behind us, to retard there march till we could get
into Charlston. And us and a detachment from Genl Lincolns
army got in before them. And one night while the lay before
town an alarm rose that the were coming to storm us, and
our fier [fire] commenced, and before it ceased I fired five rounds
and the said that we killed one of our own Colors I think hugh
who was out with a party seting tar barels afier [setting tar barrels afire] in our fort.
And the day before Stono battle it was said that five hundred men
was to go out of town to Join Gen Lincoln they marched us down to 
the river, and left us standing there till morning that the boats can
to take us across, but the battle was over, and they landed us on
Page 51

and the landed us on James's Island and marched us to the bank of
Stono River Joining napoo cut and there we encamped in sight of
the enemys camps on the other side of Stono and there came two
Royalys (or gun Boats) to us and at night went up the river to take a
small vessel from the British that they had got in the river, and we
could see the fier [fire] of every gun that was fired, they came back with there [their] prise [prize] and four dead men, and eight wounded. And when the enemy
[ink blot] of we were brought back to Charlston paid off and
in that tower [tour] I served four months and nine days, and served as a
corperal [corporal] that time-- no written discharge -
And the fall of the year before Charleston was taken my pare
moved in this District, Spartanburgh
And as soon that word could come that the town was taken [page torn]
torys was in arms attacking and disarming all the whigs that they
could, and we were up in armes to oppose them. I think by the
20th of May 1780 under our officers, and it was not later then the
Sixth or Seventh of June if not before it that we had to leave
this District, I was in Capt Robucks Company Thomas's Regt
but the old Col. did not go with us but his son Maj. John OShea [?]
and we collected what forces we could at Coln. Hills Iron works
and Joined Genl. Rutherford of N.C. and went to Ramsourse [?]
but the battle was over a few hours before we got there
We then marched down towards the Cataba [Catawba] nation, and apointed Sumpter
Genl - And Capt McClure being my kinsman and several more of
his men and almost all of them my acquaintances. I Joined his company
Coln. Lacy Regt and served in that Company as stated in my Declaration
At Rockey mount Col Neel was killed we had to leave the enemy
at the hanging rock Capt Mc Clure recived [received] his death wound and
as well as I can recollect 24 more of his company was killed and wound
but we kept the ground-- And in Sumter's defate [defeat] of last my
horse and all, but my hat Shurt [shirt] and overalls shot bag and rifel [rifle] and
kit I discharged three times duble [double] leaded: and twice with good efect [effect]
and we randevoused [rendezvoused] at Sharlot [Charlotte] N.C. and that day week of the
defate [defeat] I came into this state with Colo Lacy and a small party. I was
on foot, and barefooted. they got me a horse, and the torys drove
us back again-- the next battle was kings mountain. And when
the Brgd. parted I came with Williamson (he was killed at Kings
mountain) in Robucks Company Thomas Regment.
And could but just call to see my parents for we were constant
on duty some times in companys some times in Regts as it was
needed for we were all mounted, and had no forage wagons, and
and had often to part to get forage, and provisions - our Military operator
was much varied after Charlston was taken from what the were
before for we had to fight our own Country men, and we were
as a flying Camp for some times we would be 20 miles of in
the morning from where we camped at night. Some times to atect [attack]
Page 52

and some times to escape being atected, [attacked] - Just before the battle at
Black Stocks we all Joined Genl Sumter Brig Genl Sumter was wounded
there and Lacy took the command, and when the Brig. parted I went on
with Lacy Brg with my brother and the rest of my old Brother solders [soldiers]
now comanded by Capt John Mills. And wen [when] Ld Cornwalace [Cornwallis] was
Marching up through Chester Dist Capt Mills and Adams and there [their]
Company was detached of and left for to keep down the torys and
small parties from plundering the whigs and to fight and hide
as well as we could while the rest was before the enemy, we
[torn paper] ad our head quarters in the Cataba [Catawba] indian land and salied [sallied] out
[torn paper] from there, We defated [defeated] a small party of the torys. and one night
[torn paper]ent on the Rear of Genl Lesslys Brg. and took two regular
Captns, us and a Liut Scotch men and a tory, and I still continued
in the Company till I took the Small pox in camp some when
up the River above where Columbia is now and Coln. Lacy Sent
my brother with me to get me to some of my relations in Chester
there was three deaths in the house while I lay, and in about nine
weeks I got so that I could ride about some, and I took a relap
relaps[relapse] and was brought very low, and lay for near six weekes
more and as soon as I well could ride I went to the siege of ninty six
and the first night that I was there I got weak, and had to leave
Camp again. But as soon as I was able I was doing such duty
as the Coln Required of me, for I counted the service my home
while my cuntery [country] needed it, and onely [only] there was me and my horse
provided for, and I was in the State troops three weeks in the place
of my Brother John Morrow in Capt John Miller Company
Col Wade Hamtons Regt. I dont know the date but before I left the
troop word came that Ld Cornwalas [Cornwallis] had surrendered
I then went under Coln. Lacy I cannot tell where through the
State, one day while with a detached party under Coln McGray
we were a little while with Coln. Washingtons troop of horse
and shortly after that one day we were atected [attacked] with a part of
the enemy that was stationed at a church near Moncks 
Corner but we drove them back, and then set the Church afier [afire]
and retrated [retreated] and we followed and Joine other forces Coln.
Lees Washingtons and our State trupes [troops] and there was a good
number of them taken the rest got into houses and we had
to have them not very far from Charlston, it was said, - we did this
fiting [fighting] the regular troops asisted [assisted] in taking the prisoners. I mention
this expecting that there is a record of it after that Coln Lee
troop and us camped one night together on the bank of Santee
I was in several atects [attacks] with the enemy in deferent [different] parts of the state
and in some of them more killed and wounded to the number then in 
larger bodys,  that I expect that there is no regler [?] record of (And my
Servesis [services] was done in the State from the mountains to the sea bord [seaboard]
was not out of it only when our troops went out of it)
Page 53

I still continued under Lacy Comand and had no home there
but in the service, and we were often in small parties persuing [pursuing]
the torys, and some times them after u, so that from Chalston was taken till about the
end of 1781 I undertook no other work but the service of
my cuntry [country] what time I was able to do it, and in 1782 I did some
Small scouting towers, [tours] and was stationed by order of the Coln not
less than three weeks at a block house at Coln Lacys with a sarjants [sargents] guard
while him and his command was marched some where out of the vincety [vicinity]
the blockhouse was built for a safe guard for his house and family
and a safe retrate [retreat] for small parties to fly to in time of danger.
rayenfore [?] it
So that in sickness and servesis [services] I served two years and one month
under Capt Pattain - one month - years months days
under Capt Walker Genl Moolery as Corperal 0 - 1 - 3[?]
from the first of June 1780 to the end of the year 0 - 4 - 9
from the first of January 1781 to the end of the year 0 - 7 - 0
in 1782 three weeks ["at Block house" crossed out] 0 - 0 - 21
Not less then that time I served faithfully what 2 - 1 - 0
time I was able, but I think that there was near twenty
weeks that I did very little service if any out of the bounds
of Lacys Regmt. I have stated some facts to show how it
was that my Servises [services] was so devided [divided] in different Brigds and
deferent [different]  parts of the state. But all my statement is correct to
the best of my knowledge and memory, for my memory is much
failed as well as my body-- yours with due respect Saml Morrow
