On this 13th day of June 1836 personally appeared in Open Court before the Justices of the Court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions held for the County of Stokes aforesaid John Tuttle aged Seventy five years and a resident of the s.d [said] County who being 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 of June 1832.
First, that he entered the service of the United States as a private volunteer Militia Soldier, where he was enrolled in Capt. Peter O'Neal's company in Rockingham County N. Carolina about Easter in the year 1778, when there was a special call for soldiers to be in re[adiness] at a moments notice, to march in order [to] route Tories, he being one of the men taken from Capt. O'Neal's company to make up a company commanded by Capt. Philips [Abraham Phillips] of Rockingham County aforesaid; from thence said Capt. Phillips marched his company different directions & ways; through Guilford County & Rowan to the Yadkin River, thence down the country into Randolph County to Deep River, the names of all the different places & stations he was marched he cannot now recollect as it was then & is yet a strange part of the country to him, he being then a youth & does not recollect the name of all of the officers who he then knew. But that he remained in this service under the command of said Capt. Phillips at least two months & was discharged verbally by his Captain & returned home to Rockingham.
The next Service he was drafted out of Capt. Peter O'Neal's company in Rockingham County above mentioned for a Tour of three months, he believes in the month of August 1778 or 1779, he cannot properly ascertain which, and was a private in a company commanded by Capt. Wm. [William] Wilson & marched to Guilford Court House N. Carolina, & there they joined Col. Paisley's [John Paisley] Regiment, then marched to Stone's Ferry on the Yadkin River in Rowan County from thence to Salisbury & were joined by General Davidson's [William Lee Davidson's] Brigade and remained some time at Salisbury. Then marched to or near the borders of South Carolina & took up what was called headquarters at a place called the 12 Mile Creek where we took 18 Tories, & Col. Paisley & other officers had them tried by court-martial, when this applicant was one of the guard, 9 of the prisoners were acquitted & the other nine were sentenced to receive the lash, & the did receive them on their bare backs & to serve 12 months in the regular service. Shortly after this happened, information came to our officers that the British Army was advancing towards & near headquarters: we were ordered to march immediately and
Page 13

did retreat in a hurry and marched in a dark wet night, the enemy being in pursuit until we passed through Salisbury & crossed the Yadkin River, where we met with an Army of the Virginia troops, as by was told, we were then ordered to & did recrossed the River & marched back after the British, until we came to our old stand at 12 Mile Creek near the Catawba River, the British having crossed 25 miles below in South Carolina, then a detachment of our troops, was sent from headquarters & this applicant was one of the company to watch & guard at a point on the River to prevent the British from crossing over again, at which time & place this applicants time of service ended with many others, for three months and was marched back to headquarters at 12 Mile Creek & there received a written discharge from Col. Paisley for three months & Ten days & then returned home to his father's in Surry County N. Carolina, near Major Winston's residence
The next Service there being special call for horse or mounted men, he said applicant turned out a volunteer & furnished his on horse & firearms and found equipment for him, some time in January 1781 in a Company commanded by Capt. Robert Hill of Surry County N. Carolina under Major Joseph Winston, and marched from said Major Winston's in said Capt. Hill's Company down through Rockingham & into Caswell County N. Carolina & on our way routed & defeated a parcel of Tories and then joined Col. or Genl. Pickens [Andrew Pickens] light horse troops, when I was told we were about 500 strong, and at the same time I was told that Tarleton [Banastre Tarleton] the British commander with about 800 dragoons lay a few miles below us towards Hillsboro, and one day a party or all of them advanced on us when we retreated a few miles & formed for battle I being previously wounded on my instep by a rough shod horse, I was commanded with others to guard some horses in the rear, when the attack commenced they immediately broke on the right wing which soon became a general disorderly retreat with the loss of two men killed; I with part of the men got into Rockingham & was left to get the inflammation cured in my foot, meanwhile the Company to which I belonged had marched & had another skirmish with the British & Tories at Whitesills [Wetzel's Mills March 6, 1781] & then returned home. In this Service I served at least two months a part of which was under Capt. O'Neal after he recovered from his wound aforesaid & Capt. Hill discharged him verbally after he recovered from the wound in his foot as above mentioned all of which Services amounts to five months & 10 days a foot private, 2 months on horse – say 5 months & 10 days foot 2 as Cavalry 7 1/3 in all for which he claims a Pension.
This applicant states that it is out of his power to produce any evidence to prove the first two months he served as all of his acquaintances in the County of Rockingham where he resided then in the time of his youth are now dead or removed away. 
The other five months service he thinks he can prove by

Sir;

The negative evidence of the Clerks Certificate in the case of Barbary Tuttle and Mary Wolf has been filed, and satisfactory proof of the date of the marriage in each case again required, as also the Comptrollers Certificate in behalf of the alleged services of their respective husbands. 
In the case of Nancy Flinn the Certificate of the Clerk of Caswell County is required as to the confirmation or discredit which his records may afford of alleged date of the marriage. The testimony of witnesses who subscribe with a Cross mark to establish a distant date, is wholly unavailing. 
The negative certificate of the Clerk of Guilford County North Carolina, in the case of Elenor McBride, had been filed with her other papers. The proof is not satisfactory as to the date of the marriage and the further evidence of service required by my 20 letter to you of the 13th July last has not been furnished.

He enlisted in August, 1778 or 1779, served as private in Captain William Wilson's company, Colonel Paisley's North Carolina regiment, took up headquarters at Twelve Mile Greek where he was in an engagement in which eighteen Tories were taken prisoners; he was appointed to guard them, after which he was sent as guard to a point on the Catawba River to prevent the British from crossing over from South Carolina, was then discharged after having served three months ten days.
