Declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the Act of Congress passed June 7, 1832. 

State of Illinois
Hamilton County &ct. 

On this 18th day of September 1832, personally appeared in open Court, before the Hon. Thomas C. Browne judge of the Circuit Court of [struck out:  Gallatin] Hamilton county, now sitting, Little Page Proctor, a resident of said county, and state, aged 71 years or thereabouts (having no record of his age) 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 7, 1832.  That he enlisted in the Service of the United States under the follow-ing named officers, & served as herein stated: 
He resided upon Holsten river in the State of Virginia in the year 1777, and in the last of that year or the first part of the year 1778, he volunteered [struck out:  in the] under a capt. Cornelius Riddle, who said he was authorized to recruit men to go to the relief of the inhabitants in the Virginia Territory, now called Kentucky, who were greatly exposed.  He was im-mediately marched from the town [illegible] upon Holsten and rendezvoused at Powell's Valley.  About the 10th of March 1778, he march under Lieut. Hargrove (he thinks Benjamin) through the wilderness to Kentucky river, where there was a fort called Boonsboro.  On his arrival at this place, he found the inhabitants in great distress - some thirty odd of them having been taken prisoners in the February before {interposed:  by the Indians & carried to Detroit.] Capt. Hargrove was ordered into immedate Service.  He had
Page 5

no commander except Lieut Hargrove, and the principal service was guarding the fort against the Indians night & day.  Shortly afterwards he was attached (with all of Lt. Hargrove's company) to Capt. Ben. Logan's, who was at Logan's Station, and while with him his service was ranging, scouting & spying round the fort, mostly getting back to the fort of nights, but sometimes layng out.  During the summer of 1778, Capt. John Holder came out from N. Carolina, He was dressed in uniform, & said he was authorized to take command of the troops, and Capt. Logan gave up to him the command of the men who had come out under Lt. Hargrove - He then enlisted under him and remained under him for about five years, he was marched from place to place wherever the enemy was the most troublesome, and was in numerous engagements and skirmishes with the Indians - at one time surrounded & beseiged by them in Boonsboro for 9 or 10 days and nights.  In the fall of the 3d year after he came to Kentucky, Gen. Geo. Rogers Clark came on with a considerable body of troops, and called to his aid Capt. Holder's company and the militia of the neighborhood and marched immediately across the Ohio river against the Shawnees, Wyandots & Sanduskies, and came upon one of their towns on the Little Miami, which we surrounded and in the course of the ensuing night the Indians attacked [struck:  them] us, and the battle was kept up till the break of day, when the Indians made their escape, with
Page 6

Capt. Constant - At the time of Wayne's victory, these officers were all dead or gone off, and the applicant never received one cent of pay, whether from the fact that he did not belong to the Continental line or from what other cause he does not know.  His officers being all dead or absent might not have made the proper returns or if made made to the Virginia State authorities, and not there attended to.  So it was, this applicant, seeing that Continental money had depreciated and become valueless, made no inquiry or demand of pay, & let the whole matter drop.  he states that he was constantly in service from 1777 or '8 as above stated till the defeat of the Indians by Gen. Wayne [interposed: in Aug. 1794] employed as above stated.  he served with no continental regiments, unless Gen'l Clark's was one.  And wehther his service was [interposed: in] what is called state troops, continental line, or militia he does not know, but supposed it was in the State troops.  He had no documentary evidence of his services, except the affidavits or certificates of some of his old neighbors and fellow soldiers obtained last year in Kentucky & sent on to the Pension Department thro' Genl Robinson one of the Illinois Senators.  He respectfully refers the Hon. Secretary of War to those affidavits as confirmatory of his statement made herein. And also to the positive oath of his brother Nicholas Proctor who served with him throughout in the same service & under the same officers - excepting
Page 7

a considerable loss in killed & wounded.  They took in this affair between 30 & 40 pris-oners, and returned with them to Boonsboro' and kept them until an exchange took place for our prisoners, who had been taken to Detroit.  The next fall [interposed: this applicant] marched again under Gen. Clark, in the same company, on an other expedition against the Indians (more particularly against the Sanduskies) upon the Scioto, took two or three of their towns, and had one pretty severe battle at Sandusky Town, in which the Indians were again defeated with considerable loss of killed & wounded.  He then returned to Kentucky under Capt. Holder, who sent him soon after to Stroud's Station, which was commanded by Capt. John Constant, wtih whom he remained about two years, guarding that & other stations, wherever the danger was mot imminent, until pace was given to the frontier by the victory of Gen. Wayne [interposed:  in 1794]  Every garrison or station had its won captain, & whenever he moved he was placed under the capt. of the fort - His first Captain was Riddle above named who did not come out to Kentucky till the fall after he marched fro Holsten.  His next was Logan - His 3d was Holder His 4th was Capt. James Estill, afterwards killed in a battle.  His 5th was Capt. James Dooling.  His 6th Capt. Johnson under whom he served a tour of 3 months in scouting - his 7th [illegible]

Dear Sir:

Reference is made to your request for the Revolutionary War record of Little Page Proctor, private in the Virginia troops, who died in 1853 in Illinois.

The data furnished herein were obtained from Papers on file in pension claim, W. 576, based upon the service in the War of the Revolution of Little Page Proctor.

Little Page Proctor was born in the year 1760 in Granville (probably meant for Greensville) County, Virginia.  The names of his parents were not given.

While residing on "Holston River in the state of Virginia", he volunteered late in 1777 to go to Kentucky in defence of the inhabitants there, and marched in the spring of 1778 under Lieutenant Benjamin Hargrove, was in the siege of Fort Boonesborough, and in the summer of 1778, served under Captain Ben Logan ranging, scouting and spying; then under Captain John Holder and was in several engagements with the Indians; was in General George Rogers Clark's Expedition and in the battles on the Little Miami, and at Sandusky; he was at Strouds Station under Captain John Constant, and continued to serve at various times until General Wayne's victory in August 1794, under Captains James Estill, James Dulin, Johnson, Nicholas Proctor, and Colonel Logan.  His service was in the Virginia troops, as a private.

He moved from Kentucky in 1808 to the territory
Page 25

of Missouri, where he lived two or three years and moved to Illinois.

Little Page Proctor was allowed pension on his application executed, September 18, 1832, then living in Hamilton County, Illinois.  He died in Hamilton County November 15, 1852.

Little Page Proctor married July 1, 1815 or June 1, 1816 in Gallatin County, Illinois, Sarah Bates.  She was allowed pension on her application executed May 12, 1853, then about sixty-four years of age and living in Hamilton County, Illinois.  She was still living in Illinois in 1861,

Nicholas Proctor, brother of the soldier, Little Page Proctor, also served in the War of the Revolution but it is not shown that he was identical with the Captain Nicholas Proctor referred to herein.

Joseph Proctor was residing in 1833 in Estill County, Kentucky; he was at that time a clergyman of "long standing".  William Proctor in 1853 stated that he was well acquainted with the soldier and his wife Sarah Proctor.  It is not shown that they were related to each other, or that they were related to the family.

The application for headstone for Little Page Proctor is returned herewith.  There was no correspondence enclosed.
