Declaration
In order to obtain the benefit of the act of
Congress of the 7th of June 1832.-
State of North Carolina
Granville County } Court of Pleas & quarter Session
August Term 1832.

On this 9th day of August A.D. 1832 appeared personally in open court before Benjamin Bullock, Richard Sneed & George Kettrell  the Court of Pleas & quarter Sessions for the County and State aforesaid now sitting, James Haskins a resident of the same county & state, aged eighty one years on the 11th September 1832, 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 the 7th June AD. 1832._

That he entered the service of the United States under Capt. Cuthbert Hudson but the other company officers he does not remember but rather thinks that John Champion was a Lieutenant - This service was by draft for three months Expedition against the Indians in the Western part of North Carolina, who had made an Incursion upon, and was doing much injury & mischief to the Whites in that part of the State__ I entered the service as a substitute for Abraham Potter. I am quite unable to state the year in which I entered this service, but it was in the fall of year, after I had laid by my crop of corn and I returned in time to gather it in good season.  - We were marched from Granville County where I entered the service & resided at that time
Page 6

and have continued to reside ever since. There were two companies raised in Granville County and they were march under the command of Col. Joseph Taylor westward as far as Deep River, when we were placed under the command of Col. Mathew Ramsay under whose command we marched to the foot of the mountain where we were met by General Thomas Person who was returning, from the country west of the mountains when the Indians had committed the depredations.  By him our commanding officer was informed that there was no pity for more troops or that service that were already on duty and by orders from him we were marched back to Granville County and Discharged - I think and declare that from the time I entered the service to the day of my discharge I served fifty two days. I am not certain but think this was in the year 1776 or 1777 -

The year and date of my next tour of service I cannot recollect, but there was a draft in Granville for men to serve in Georgia and South Carolina. I was drafted and placed under the command of William Gill as Captain, William Knight as Lieutenant and Brereton Jones as Ensign - We were marched through Salisbury, I think, but I am certain through Camden S.C. and thence to Purrysburg on the Savanah River where joined the American Army under Genl Lincoln The Regiment to which we were, at this place, attatched, was commanded by Colonel James Saunders and I think Majr Douglass was also in command - An officer by the name of Johnson
Page 7

was the Adjutant to the Regiment- We continued in service in that part of the Country all the Winter, and although our term of service was three months, yet being in sight of a formidable British force, and with our inferior to it in numbers and badly provided with provisions, arms & ammunition, we were required and detained in service until the 10th day of April, that is on the Savannah River-- But a force from South Carolina having joined the Army we were on that day permitted & did take up the line of March for Granville County when we were to  be discharged. By consent of my commanding officer I was permitted together with two others, by bearing our own expences, to leave the detatchment, and get home in the shortest Best way we could -- We did so, and on the 23rd day of April I arrived at Home - which day completed five months and twenty three [noted in margin 5.23] days of service which I performed in this tour -  A further agreement between my commanding officer and myself was, that as I should bear my own expences home, my service should continue until the company arrived at Oxford the court House in Granville County and be there discharged It would necessarily take them from two to three weeks, to march from Purysburg to Oxford, a distance of four Hundred and fifty files, more than I took to perform the same journey-- I performed this Journey very expeditiously as will be seen by the following fact-- Two days before I, and Joshua Bullock and Amos Gooch who are both dead my comrades set out on foot Lieutenant Barnett Pulliam and John Taylor/ Brandy to the same detachment had set out home on Horse back.  - On the
Page 8

morning of the 23rd of April my comrades & myself stopped at the house of Thomas Rice on Little River about twelve miles from my mothers house, to get our Breakfast-- At the same House we found and over took these gentlemen who had started on horse back two days before us getting their Breakfast also - I was not at Oxford when my company arrived and were discharged, nor am I able now to recollect how long it was after I got home, before they arrived. But it must have extended my period of service on this tour to have than six months - The Paper I received from my officer at Purysburg when I set out home has been mislaid lost or destroyed so that I am unable now, to find it -
In the tour which I have thus given an account of, I was in no battle but was with my company and a detachment which was commanded by Genl Rutherford within hearing of the fire of the Cannon at the Battle of Briar Creek- The next service I engaged in, was by draft for three months, under Nathaniel Waller Captain, the other officers of our Company I cannot recollect - We were marched for Wilmington in North Carolina through Hillsborough Cross Creek, now Fayetteville to the Raft Swamp which lies in the country between Wilmington and Georgeton [Georgetown] in South Carolina - General Butler commanded the detachment to which I belonged - Genl Rutherford was also in Command, but who was the commander in chief I do not recollect but rather think the last named officer. our place of encampment or Rendezvoux was at Bluford Bridge. The Enemy consisting of British and Tories were encamped on the opposite bank our service was in all the country round about seldom remaining more
Page 9

than two or three days at any one place until we were stationed at Bedfords Bridge as before mentioned-- while we were here stationed our commanding officer received official Intelligence of of the Capture & surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown, and the consequent cessation of Hostilities; and we were discharged, without receiving any written evidence of it, each man to find his way home as well as he could In this last Tour. I do not know of any of my Brother soldiers now living except Fowler Jones and Edward Jones Sr., his Brother and [crossed out]perhaps William Taburn the first and last of whom are now very poor, old, & decrepid men, and inmates of our poor House. 

I am unable to find any written Evidence of my service or discharge among my papers- The only persons now living who were with me in the long Southern town an Zachariah Hester & Shadrack Owens two Brother soldiers & messmates of myself-- They are residents of the same county of Granville with myself-- I do not know or remember any person who is alive that served with me in the Indian Expedition in which I served as before stated 

The said James Haskins was born in the County of St Marys in the State of Maryland and about the age of fourteen removed to Granville County North Carolina, where he has continued to live and is now a resident - After leaving Maryland he lived in the County of Brunswick State of Virginia for about seven years before he removed to North Carolina
