Morgan County
County Court for said County 
January term 1834 
On the 28th day of January in the year 1834 Thomas Hubbard a resident of the state and county aforesaid aged seventy nine years who being first duly sworn doth make the following amended declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the provision made by the act of congress passed on the 7th day of June 1832. I enlisted in the Virginia Regiment, in the War of the Revolution under Captain John Flemming in the month of June or July 1775, for one year, I was then a citizen of Goochland County, Virginia; the Regiment was commanded by Col. Patrick Henry and Major Epps, other field officers not remembered. William Lewis and John Pettis were Lieutenants in Flemming’s Company and I have forgotten the name of the Ensign. The company joined the Regiment at Williamsburg, and from there we marched to the great bridge; from the great bridge to Kemp’s Landing where remained for some time and marched to Norfolk where the British Fleet was lying; they had commanded the [illegible] and burned part of it before our arrival, and under the direction of the committee of safety we burned the other part. After my enlistment Patrick Henry was elected Gov. of Va and quit the Regt. 
Some time in June 1776 we returned to Williamsburg and on hearing of the Declaration of Independence had a Fete De. Joy at Williamsburg, about the time of the Declaration of Independence the Regiment was reorganized and I enlisted under the same company officers in the “Continental” line, 1st Virginia Regt. and for three years as a sergeant. The regiment was commanded by Col. Isaac Reed and took up the line of march for New York; on the route, Col. Reed left the Regt. and Col. James Henrick took the command. The day after our arrival at the island of new New York, above the city, a detachment of British Troops attacked the American Lines near Fort
Page 39

Washington. We marched out to meet them, fired upon them, they retreated and we pursued them about two miles, when the enemy laid down in a Buckwheat field and let us get close to them, they fired upon us and then ran, we returned to Camp, our army took up the line of March to White Plains Genl. Washington in command. Met the enemy at the White Plains, and were defeated. We marched up the country, crossed the Hudson, and returned toward Phila. I was then in the Battle of Trenton on the 26th decr. 1776 when the Hessians were taken, and no great while afterwards, the British came up Genl. Washington at Trenton and the two armies fired at each other across a Mill’s pond until after dark, near midnight Genl. Washington left a few men to keep up fires, and marched out upon Princetown, attacked and defeated the British at Princetown early in the morning. In this battle Genl. Mercer commander of our Brigade was killed; and Capt. Flemming and Leuit. Yate fell close by me. I was struck with a musket shot which broke two ribs but did not enter the hollow. The next battle I was engaged in under Col. Charles Scott, (afterwards Genl. Scott).
One Col. Buckner had been out and met a foraging party of the enemy and fled, for which he was tried and broke, Col. Scott was sent out in pursuit, we met them in the day time and had a hard fight, and were beaten with loss. The British then send word to Quibbletown where we were stationed, that they would come the next Sunday and drive our headquarters to the Devil. Sure enough on Sunday they came upon us about 10 o clock about three times our number, and at it we went, they drove us about one mile to the woods when Col. Scott told us to “give them Indian play” we fought from tree to tree; and at length drove them back again and followed them one mile beyond our camp, when it became too dark to follow longer and we returned to Camp.
Page 40

Some time before the Battle of Brandywine I was appointed Quarter Master of the Regt. whilst Genl. Green was Quarter Master Genl. of the army.
In that battle I had the wounded taken off the ground in Baggage Wagons and as our army retreated the wagon men taken and the wounded made prisoners. Capt. Gutheridge Crump of the 1st Va Regt. was owner of one of the wagons taken by the enemy on that day, and as Quartermaster I gave him a certificate of the cop. upon which he drew pay for his wagon which may yet be found with his papers or Genl. Green’s if in existence. I was afterwards at the Battle of Germantown and at Mud Island Fort (mouth of Schuylkill) and remained in the fort until battered down by the English Fleet and we abandoned it in the night. We wintered in New Jersey where I entered the service for the term here spoken of I had indeed a younger brother (William) to enlist and go with me. This brother had received a wound in the leg at the Battle of Germantown, and it not being probable that he would ever again be able to service he was discharged about the 1st May 1778 and being unable to get back to Virginia without help I obtained Col Richard Parker leave my command as quarter master to resign. He then commanded the Regiment. He gave me a discharge and certificate that I had settled my accounts as quarter master of the Regt. this certificate was dated about the 24th May 1778, and was about eight years ago guarded by me in a letter to the Register f the Virginia Land Office at Richmond to get my bounty land promised on enlistment to all the officers and soldiers according to their respective grade or rank.
The certificate of my discharge or leave to resign was [illegible] by me on the 20th April 1833 to War Secretary Cass in a letter directed to him, in which I complained that I had not received my full pension due me under my first declaration, and I protested against being placed on the pension roll only as a sergeant, when I had held the higher office of quarter master, and also several times
Page 41

had held the rank of Captain in the Militia in the service in the south and during the Revolution, I have received no answer from the Secretary of War. Both those certificates of Col. Parker have as I understand been found since I made my last declaration for a pension; they show that I held the rank of quartermaster in the first Va Regiment as conclusive proof of the fact, and why I was placed on the Roll only as sergeant when in my declaration I had made out a claim for a higher rate of pension I am unable to determine. Justice, sheer justice is all I claim of this ungrateful generation. It was my belief when I made my first declaration that the quarter master at that date held rank and pay as a Captain and that the Regulation requiring those appointments to be filled from subalterns was made afterwards, and I am yet of that opinion. I should however like to have the matter properly examined. It is probable that my appointment or some memorandum thereof may be found among Col. Richard Parker’s papers; but when it is considered how long we had been out, how many, must have been lost, from the day of our enlistment it ought not to be so hard of credit, that one might be promoted from the station of sergeant to that of Quartermaster, the more especially if he had been vigilant in his duty. At least it does appear that with the proof furnished by Col. Parker’s certificates, my own affidavit, and that of my neighbors, that the department might given some little credit, perhaps I was refused because I would not become subservient to that fact of the regulation requiring a clergyman to attest my title to credibility, when I resigned my commission as Quartermaster there was a small [illegible] of pay due me which with interest
Page 42

I claim. When I made my first declaration for a pension believing that the department had sufficient evidence of my services and that my rank as Quarter master was equal to that of Captain, and that I would be placed on the pension roll as such, I merely alluded to several offices held by me command of the Militia in the southern service during the Revolutionary War.
After my return to Virginia from the services above set forth I was much engaged in training the militia of Powhatan County and a company having been called into services whose captain did not choose to go, I volunteered in the command as Captain for three months tour under Col. Robert Good. We marched through the country from Petersburg Va to the neighborhood of Manchester where the enemy were encamped. We were not able to attack them but guarded the roads and prevented their foraging parties from plundering and laying waste the country, but had no engagements during the tour, afterwards and during the year 1779 troops were ordered out from the same county for three months services and I again volunteered to command the company, and my services were received by the company. I cannot recollect who commanded the detachment but several companies were marched together from Petersburg the place of rendezvous to Hood’s Point on James River, and whilst marching in the night time we met a detachment of the enemy and took a few fires at them and retreated, and next day heard that the British ran also. From Hood’s Point we marched to Portsmouth a fired a few rounds at the British within a Redoubt, and not being able to route them we retreated and returned home. The County Court of Powhatan County then attempted to keep up forces by granting commissions as a court, and
Page 43

appointing such officers as it was thought to be acceptable to the troops. The orders came to raise troops to aid Genl. Gates, in the south, William Mayo of Powhatan was appointed Captain and myself Lieutenant of a company. We marched to Hillsborough North Carolina and were formed into Regiments I fell into the 3rd Va Militia Regt. commanded by Col. Faulkner and was appointed adjutant of the regt. by Col. Faulkner. We marched through N. Carolina and joined Genl. Gates at Rugley’s Mills in the evening, and were defeated next morning by the British near Camden. This was in the summer of 1780, and we were nearly all dispersed upwards of two thirds of the Virginians went home.
I collected together about one hundred fugitive troops without their officers and marched them from Salsbury to Hillsborough, and after remaining some time we were marched up to New Garden and placed under the command of Genl. Stephens, where I remained until the men who had gone home were ordered back and made to serve out their time, and as much longer as they had taken up in going home and returning to camp. In this tour I served as adjutant five months, my commission as Lieut. was signed by John Harris Judge of the County Court of Powhatan County. 
Judge Harris afterwards appointed me Captain to command a company of troops raised to join Genl. Greene then in North Carolina in the early part of the year 1781. We joined his army at [illegible] River in N. Carolina; I was commanded by
Page 44

Col. Randolph of Va and attached to Genl. Robert Lawson’s Brigade. Genl. Lawson appointed me Brigade Major, and the army marched to Guilford Courthouse where we met with the British and gave them battle in which our military fought better than I had ever seen them. This tour was for three months, and when ended we returned home.
Sometime after this, it was reported that the British were near and myself with other militia officers went out reconnoitering near Petersburg Va and were surprised by a party of the enemy and taken prisoners. We were detained some time and paroled by order of Lord Cornwallis on condition that we were not to take up arms until exchanged, and then set at liberty but were not exchanged until after the surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown.
I can prove my services in the militia as Captain to some extent by Richard Harris of Madison County Alabama, and have no doubt there are numbers now alive who could also substantiate the facts herein above set forth, but I know nowhere to look for them on this vast continent. I have lived retired for upwards of thirty years. The commissions which I received in the militia service, I do not remember to have seen since the Revolutionary War. The very worthless rags which we received as compensation and called “money” was thrown away in a few years.
Page 45

as not worth preserving. No great while after the Revolution I settled in Bedford County Virginia and at the time I settled I have now no recollection of having possession of my commissions in the Militia. I resided in Bedford Va until 1804 when I moved to Rutherford County where I remained until the year 1818 when I moved to my present residence. I claim a pension as Captain having in the War of the Revolution held that rank.
I claim an arrearage of pay due me as quarter master in the 1st Va Regt. at the time of my discharge, and although a pension certificate has been granted me as sergeant and I have been compelled to take the pension there up to 4th Sept 1833 or get nothing, yet I claim a higher pension and will surrender the original certificate sent granted on receiving what is firstly due me, first deducting therefrom the amt. paid me on the former certificate; and which I never would have received had I not supposed my discharge, and other evidences lost, and which I since understand are in existence.
My rights have been long withheld by a seeming parsimonious government, but which have been wasting millions upon the present generation; and although at this late time, they have offered, this
Page 46

relief, [illegible] if your department are so hard to convince of facts, as to delay your conclusions much longer, I shall probably escape from this world without your aid.

I William J. Walker of the state and county aforesaid, a Soldier of the American Revolution aged 72 years, do hereby certify that I served a tour of military duty in the militia service of the United States in the year 1780, in the state of North Carolina. I belonged to the 3rd regiment of Virginia Militia, commanded by Col. R. Faulkner and was attached to Genl. Stephen’s Brigade. The place of rendezvous was Hillsborough in N. Carolina where I arrived in June 1780. There I found Thomas Hubbard, now as I am informed a resident of the State of Alabama, in the militia service, said Hubbard was a lieutenant in Capt. William Mayo’s Company of Militia from the County of Powhatan, and belonged to the same regiment with myself to which he acted as adjutant during the whole tour as I believe. The said Hubbard and myself were once separated during the tour, he having marched into S. Carolina and was, as I as informed, at Gates’ Defeat at Camden, which I have every reason to believe and do believe was there. I was discharged from the service the last day of October 1780. I am inclined to think said Hubbard was discharged some short time before me. In the winter of 1780 or in the spring of 1781 I again saw the said Hubbard in the militia service in the lower part of Virginia and I think he still acted as adjutant, but to what regiment he was attached, or in what company he served, I do not now recollect.
In the winter of 1795 I moved to the County of Bedford, where I found the said Hubbard living. He continued to reside in the northern part of said county for some years afterwards from whence he moved, I am informed to Stone’s River in the State of Tennessee, and subsequently to the State of Alabama, he must now be upwards of 75 years of age. He was always reputed to be, and I believe is, a brother of Stephen Hubbard, now a resident of the County of Bedford.

This day came personally Richard Harris of the County aforesaid now seventy four years old before me a Justice of the Peace for the County a resident and made oath that during the Revolutionary War, he resided in the County of Powhatan in the State of Virginia, whence he was well acquainted with Mr. Thomas Hubbard, who then also resided in said County of Powhatan now of Morgan County, Alabama. The said affiant states that the said Thomas Hubbard was several years absent from the place of his residence during said war and it was generally said and believed and this affiant verily believes it was true that (said Hubbard) was in the service of the Country in the Continental Army. After the return of said Hubbard he was much sought after to command Militia Companies whose officers did not have it in their power to go, or from other causes, did not command their companies when called upon. Said affiant further stated that he knew said Hubbard received his appointment of Captain from the County Court of Powhatan, tho’ he was not present at the time it was given, and cannot state the fact from personal knowledge. While holding said commission of Captain, said Hubbard was required, and did always hold himself in readiness to serve, and did serve generally if not uniformly in every campaign, after he returned from said long tour, said affiant was not long since at the house of the said Thomas Hubbard in Morgan County, Alabama, and saw him and spent a night with him and knows him to be the same man who resided and served in the County of Powhatan Virginia, in the manner herein before stated, during the Revolutionary War. Affiant knew him then and knows him now, said Hubbard is several years older than I am.
Said affiant further states that said Hubbard was not only generally stated and believed to have served the tour above mentioned in the Continental Army, but it was also said and generally believed that he served in the capacity of an officer in said Continental Army, and this affiant entertaining a confident belief that he did so serve during the latter part of his service in said line. And further this Deponent saith not.

Sir,
In presenting the supplemental declaration of Thomas Hubbard, now of Morgan County Ala, I am sorry to be unable to present the corresponding affidavit of Mr. Richard Harris, an old acquaintance, of Madison County in the same state, of unquestionable respectability, who formerly lived in the same county with Mr. Hubbard in Virginia. I cannot give a minute statement of the contents of Mr. Harris’ affidavit, altho’ I wrote it myself during the last spring or summer; that he lived in the same county in which Hubbard lived during the Revolutionary War, that Hubbard went, first, into the continental service, and was absent some considerable time with the [illegible] that he was absent in that service. I think Harris stated this absence to be several years, but am not positive. He further stated, that, after Hubbard’s return, there being occasion for the services of the militia, this same Thomas Hubbard engaged in that service, was appointed a Captain by the County Court of his County, and continued to serve, most generally, in that grade, till
Page 59

the close of the War, whenever the services of the militia were required. I am confident that Mr. Harris substantially corroborated the statements of Hubbard, in regard to his revolutionary services, both in the Continental and Militia service, except that his statement as to the former was founded on the general understanding of the County, only as to the fact of Hubbard’s absence from his neighborhood and County, which he knew. Hubbard’s militia services were stated on Harris’ personal knowledge, having served with him and under him. I hope you with [illegible] to place Mr. Hubbard on the pension roll as a Captain. The rank to which he thinks, and I confidently believe, he is entitled.
Very Respectfully, your obt. srvt.

My Dear Sirs;
My mother, who is a widow and 91 years of age, is the daughter of Thomas Hubbard, who drew a pension as a revolutionary soldier, up to the time of his death. He was in General Green’s Command, I suppose the records at that Department show all that is necessary, if anything. My mother saw some notice in a paper which led her to believe that the widowed daughters of the revolutionary soldiers were drawing pensions. I write for her satisfaction. Is it true? Do they draw or not?
Please respond soon
