	Be it known that on this 16th day of
March 1839 personally appeared before me John
Chilton a Justice of the Peace in and for said
County court Isabell Gullion widow of Jeremiah
Gullion deceased a resident of the said county
aged 77 years who being duly sworn 
according to law upon her oath made the 
following declaration in order to obtain the benefit
of the act of congress passed July 4th, 1836.
	She states and declares that she is a native
of Ireland and that her father, name Mr. Geo.
Pattie that he immigrated to the United States before
the Revolutionary War that she this declarant is
now 77 years of age and [illegible] and is a
resident of Henry County, KY and has been for
a number of years [illegible]—She states and 
declares that her father lived in Westmoreland
County Pennsylvania during the revolution and 
[illegible] of said period in Hannah’s Town the 
seat of Justice in said county, that in the 
year 1780 as well as she now remembers and
month of January of that year she was lawfully
married at the house of her father to 
Jeremiah Gullion, that the marriage rite was performed
by a Mr. Trueby a Justice of the peace
are [illegible] so to [illegible] and she continued to live with
Page 5

Her said husband with the period of his death
Which took place about 22 years ago as best
As she remembers in the month of April, 1815
In Gallatin County, Ky, and she states and declares
that she has not married since his death.
	This declarant further states that her said
husband the said Jeremiah Gullion as well as she 
remembers a little over two years before their 
marriage entered the service of the United States as
a private soldier in the army of the revolution
and that he continued in the service for two years and 
she is now of the opinion that he enlisted in the
service for one year through of this she is not
certain and that he continued in the service
for two years instead of one. She knows that
he served the two years for she was well 
acquainted with him and a few weeks after
his return from this service their marriage as
afs.  took place. This declarant further states
that during his said service he received two
wounds as he afterward informed her one of
them in the right foot which was greatly 
shattered by a ball and the other wound in the
right leg also by a Ball, the scars of these
wounds this declarant states she has often seen 
and they gave evidence of their having been 
very severe and she is is disposed to think that 
they were a means of hastening his death-
Page 6

This declarant states that it is her present belief that
the said Jeremiah Gullion her said husband entered
the service as afs’d under Capt. Irvine and was 
attached to the regiment of Col. Carnahan but
of this she cannot say that she is positively 
certain for the lapse of time and her loss of 
memory will not suffer her to state these
things positively.
	This declarant further states that about 6 
months after her said marriage her said 
husband again entered the service as a private
soldier for the time of six months but which
he volunteered or was drafted or enlisted she 
cannot now say-nor does she know under
whom he served-but she knows that his
services were directed and required against
the Indians and that he served out his
full term of service and returned home.
	She further states that her said husband
did not remain at home after the termination
of his said last mentioned service
more than there or four months until he 
was again called into the service of the United
States as a soldier upon a term of six months
and that he served out the same fully-
whether he went out on this occasion as a 
volunteer or militia man or whether he enlisted
^she cannot state^ but she knows that he served as above 
stated and that his services were against the
Page 7

Indians-This declarant states that these services
were performed before the expiration of the 
Revolutionary war and that in addition thereto her
said husband performed much service as an
Indian spy and upon scouting parties during
the same period how long however she cannot
now pretend to say. She further states
that her said husband was at the battle of
Hannah’s Town in the county of Westmoreland
Pennsylvania and assisted in the defense of that place.
she is satisfied that the services of her
said husband did not amount to less than
three & a half or four years during the 
Revolution.
	This declarant further states that she is
labouring under an impression that her said
husband was at one time immediately after
the revolution placed on the invalid pension
roll of the United States but she cannot now
say whether such was certainly the fact.
She does not believe that ^he^ ever received anything
from the government by way of pension since
he moved to the State of Kentucky which 
removal took place a few years the revolution.
	She states that she has no documentary 
evidence of his services and she does not know
whether it will be in her power to prove them.
She states also that she is so infirm in body
Page 8

That she has not been able to walk for the
Last six or seven years without assistance &
That she cannot attend court in consequences thereof
To mark her declaration.

Dear Sir
Your favour of 8th present month enclosing the pension certificate of Mrs. Mary Jones and the communication from the pension officer was recd by me per our last mail and you have my thanks for your Kindness in giving those matters your attention.  I herewith enclose you the letter of Mr. Edwards and have to say in relation to the case of Mrs. Gullion that I believe it is made out as fully as the circumstances will allow.

All the proof of service within the knowledge of the family in relation to the services of her husband has been furnished.  He moved to Ky at a very early period and proof of his services in Pennsylvania cannot now be procured and much of his service since he came to Kentucky cannot be shown in a specific & precise manner.  He has been dead many years and there is no person living that is now known to the family with whom his services were wholly performed.  

That he did serve faithfully and much the greater part of his time during the revolutionary war I have not a remaining doubt.  I have heard much in relation to him as an Indian fighter & spy and his reputation as such stood as high as any of the early adventurers to the country with the exception perhaps of such mere as Boone, Ballard & perhaps a very few others who took the bad in the Indian Wars.

I have done all that I could to present the case in its true light and know of no other proof which I can procure.   And I will accept for the children the allowance proposed unless the commissioner upon further reflection shall see fit to increase it in which event the amount settled upon will be of course more acceptable.  Yours T.

sir,
I have the honor to inform you that the declarations and proofs in the case of Isabel Gullion, deceased, are too vague and discrepant to admit of adjusting, understandingly a pro rata pension.  They represent him as an "Indian Fighter and Spy" after he removed to Kentucky and a militia man in Pennsylvania before his removal; but the specification of the period, length, and grade, names of Officers, stations, Marches, etc. which the rules require of each term is not furnished.  An allowance for six months service may be allowed if her administrator will accept it in the name of the children.

The case of Zachariah Rop will be again examined when its turn arrives according to the date of the additional evidence.

I have the honor to be,
My respectfully,
Your Ob Servant,

The deposition of Mary Raiborne taken at
her own house in the Town of Frankfort Ky
who being duly sworn deposed and says that
her maiden name was Mary Gullion and
that she is the sister of Jeremiah Gullion
who departed this life on the day of
about 1817 that at the time of his death he
resided in Gallatin County Ky and left
a widow Isabella Gullion who still 
survives and whose maiden name
was Isabella Pattie (or Patty)-this 
deponent states that her said Brother and
his wife were married near Hannahs
Town Westmoreland County Pennsylvania
at the house of George Patty the
father of said Isabella by a magistrate
of the county and that said event took
place during the Revolutionary War and
this deponent was present and witness
the ceremony. This deponent says that
from the lapse of time and the life of
her family Register she cannot tell the
year in which the said marriage took
place but she knows that it did take
place during the process of the war of 
the Revolution and that her brother the
said Jeremiah was in the service of the
United States as a soldier before and also 
after his said marriage and 
during the continuance of said war. She
further states that the said Isabella lived
at the house of the deponent’s mother after
the marriage for sometime and that her said
Brother was absent during most of
Page 37

Said time in the service of the United
States in said war-this deponent cannot
now state the particular service performed
by him, the number of tours or their length
or the officer under whom he served or
whether he was a regular drafted or volunteer
soldier-she thinks however that he was
at one time an enlisted soldier in the
Pennsylvania line and that at other times
he was a volunteer. She thinks and
believes that he did not serve less than
two years as a soldier in said war
and the probability is, that he served
a longer period than that; for he was
almost always gone in the service-
she states that he was wounded in the
service in two places that she now 
remembers-one of the wounds was in 
the foot and the other in the calf of the
leg but she does not now remember
whether those wounds were received before
or after his said marriage; his present
suspicion however is that he received
them after his marriage. She further
states that she believes he was placed on
the pension Roll & rec’d a pension form
the Government on account of his wounds
whilst he lived in Pennsylvania after the
termination of said war. She states that
he moved from Pennsylvania about the 
year 1786 to the state of Ky and a few 
months before his death told this deponent
Page 38

That he had not drawn any pension
money since he left Pennsylvania and
said he intended going in person to see
to the matter & get the money which might
be due to him. This deponent says that she 
is informed the said Isabella Gullion is
making an effort to procure a pension
from the United States under a late law
of Congress. This dep’t says that she was 
quite a small girl during the Revolution
but that the matters above detailed are
well remembered by her. She does not
know her present age nor has she
any record of it having lost
it some years ago it having been burnt but
she is certain that she is not less than sixty-
six now more than seventy years of age.
This deponent further states that sometime
after the marriage of her said Brother in
Hannahs Town was burnt as she 
understood

The deposition of Robert Gullion today at his own house
on Switzerland County Indiana on the ---day of March
1839 who being duly sworn according to law states that
he is now 74 years of age & upwards and that he
is the brother of Jeremiah Gullion who died upwards
of Twenty years ago in Henry County Ky. That he left at 
the time of his death a widow Isabel Gullion, who
still lives and who has not married since his death
--this deponent states that his brother Jeremiah Gullion
was older than deponent and about the commencement 
of the revolutionary war either enlisted or else volunteered
into the service of the United States ^as a soldier^ and did join the
army and ws absent from home a long time in 
the service. He cannot say with certainty how long
but supposes and believes as long as two years that 
during this service he received two wounds one in the
foot and the other in the leg. At the time he entered 
the service as above mentioned he lived with his father
 in Pennsylvania about 30 miles from Pittsburg—
this deponent does not remember with certainty who
was his commander at the tie he entered the service
but is impressed with the belief that Col. Carnahan
had the command of the regiment. This deponent states
that the country was at the time a frontier on and 
that after his brother returned he was often engaged for
short periods of time against the Indians who were very 
troublesome. This deponent states that the maiden
name of his brother’s wife was Isabel Pattie—that they
married sometime after his return from the army as
above mentioned though deponent cannot tell us what
year nor was he present at the marriage.
	This deponent sates further that after the marriage
of his said Brother he the said Jeremiah was
often out against the Indians how often & how long
Page 42

at a time he cannot tell however the s’d Jeremiah
was at the Battle of Hannahstown & fought in it as a 
soldier^ this was after his marriage^ how long he was out about that time deponent
cannot tell but he was gone sometime. This deponent
recollects very distinctly that in the year of 1781 or 82
himself & his brother the said Jeremiah served together
for three months in the present state of Ky as Indiana
spies. Deponent cannot pretend to say how long 
his s’d brother served taking his [illegible} service together
but he knows that he was engaged in 
the service against the British ^& Indians^ during the greater
part of the whole time of the Revolutionary War.

of the year settled with his father’s family at Lexington
Ky. That in the spring of the year perhaps March 1780
he became acquainted with Jeremiah Gullion who then
moved to Lexington. He states further that in the same
Spring the said Gullion was appointed by Col Todd
an Indian Spy and ranger and he entered upon that
service immediately and was engaged in said service
in commission mostly with James Haydon, Thomas Mitchel
and this deponent, that he continued acting as an
Indian Spy without any interruption except when 
called on expeditions against the Indians until after the
Peace with Great Britain in 1782. Deponent states
that he knows the service of said Gullion during that
period as a spy & otherwise to be without interruption

1843 who being duly sworn deposes & says that he is
now near 83 years of age and is on the pension 
list of the United States under the act of {?} 1832 that
he came to Ky early in the year 1780 and soon after
became acquainted with Jeremiah Gullion, that he has
often seen him in the service of the United States as a 
volunteer soldier and as an Indian Spy during 
the war of the revolution that he knew him as a spy
very soon after he came to Ky in 1780 and in the 
summer of that year the said Gullion was with Gen’l Clark
in his expedition against the Indians at Pickaway & Chillicothe 
and served during that tour as a volunteer 
soldier. This deponent says that within his personal
knowledge the said Gullion was constantly and 
actively engaged as an Indiana Spy and volunteer soldier
from the beginning of the years 1780 til the termination
of the revolutionary war and he says that there was no 
better soldier in all the western county than he was 
and there can be no doubt but that from the early
part of 1780 till the conclusion of the Revolutionary War
his services were uninterrupted. Deponent is informed
that said Gullion died many years ago at or near 
the mouth of Eagle in the present county of Carrol
leaving his wife Isabel Gullion his widow who lived with

Berryman a resident of said County who being duly sworn according to law upon his oath states and declares that he is the administrator of Isabel Gullion and is the identical person named in the above order of the Owen County Court as such.  He further states that the said Isabel Gullion as he is
Page 52

informed and believes was the widow of Jeremiah Gullion and that she some years ago made application to the War Department for a pension on account of the services of her said husband in the war of the revolution through the agency of one Sanford Johnson and that his case was suspended & so continues for want of some proof or some formallity.  He refers to the papers on file for proof of her marriage, the services of her husband and his death.  He further states that since the death of the said Isabel Gullion additional proof of the services of the said Jeremiah Gullion has been discovered and the depositions of Benjamin Haydon, Lewis Vallandingham and Jacob Hunter have been taken showing his services as are Indian Spy in the State of Kentucky which this declarant supposes and hopes are sufficient to establish the justices of her claim and ensure an allowance of pension to her.  This declarent hereto annexes the said depositions and prays that they may be duly considered in the investigation of her claim.  He further states that he has been a resident of Owen County and lived within 17 or 18 miles of the Mouth of Eagle for about 20 years and that although he never knew Jeremiah Guillon in his lifetime yet he is familiar with his reputation as an Indian fighter and soldier of the revolution and he has no doubt from Common report that he was very efficient in both character he having much celebrity in this region of County in respect thereto.  This declarent prays that the pension to which the said Isabel may be entitled on account of the services of her said husband
