a resident of Spartanburgh District in the said state, aged
seventy four years, 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 7th 1832 - "I first entered the service as a volunteer
under Capt. T. Hays, Col. James Williams and Genl. Williamson
having the chief command, sometime in April 1778 to Augusta
Georgia where I served a two months Campaign.  I then volunteered
my services to Stono, 19th of June 1778, where I fought
under the command of Capt. Leonard, Major Pickens, Col. Williams
and General Lincoln.  I again volunteered my services to Savanna
Georgia 9th of October 1777, where I fought under the 
command of Capt. T. Hays, Col. James Williams and Genl.
Lincoln, in a tour of two months.  On my return from 
Savanna, I volunteered my services under Capt. Richie, with
whom I served until the fall of Charlestown, a space of
time near Six months.  I then fell in with the refugees
with whom I fought under the command of Capt. D Williams,
& Col. James Williams and fought at the battle of Kings mountain 
where Col. Williams was killed.  From thence I continued
with the refugees under the command of Capt. John Jones and
Col. Hayes & under whom I fought in the Battle at Blackstocks
Page 7

on the twentieth of November 1780.  From thence I continued
under the same officers with whom I fought in the Battle at the 
Cowpens, which took place i 1781.  I then [still?] continued with the
refugees until about a week before the battle at Gilford Court House
in North Carolina, when my horse was taken from me, in my attempt 
to cross Adkin River on which account I was compelled
to leave my company.  I then went forthwith on to Culpepper County
in Virginia, where being entirely moneyless was forced to take ano [runs off edge of page]
mand place, to get another horse, and in substitution for whom 
I served six months, during which time I was present in the 
conflict which proved the surrender of Lord Cornwallis
at Little York in Virginia.  In the spring of 1783 I returned home
to Newberry District South Carolina.  Soon after which time I went 
on a tour to Bacons Bridge over Ashley River So. Car. with Captain
Irby and Genl. Pickens.  I then returned and served until the 
end of the war under my brother Capt. James Tinsley, and 
Col. Levy [Levi] Casey.

REGULATIONS UNDER THE ACT OF JUNE 7, 1832

The following regulations have been adopted:
This law has been construed to extend, as well to the lite, as to every branch of the Staff of the Army, and to include under the terms "Continental Line," "State troops," "militia," and "volunteers," all persons enlisted, drafted, or who volunteered and who were bound to military service, but those who were occasionally employed with the army upon civil contracts, such as Clerks to Commissaries and to Store Keepers, &c. Teamsters, Boatmen, &c. Persons who served on board of Private Armed Vessels are also excluded from the benefits of the law, as well as persons who turned out as patrols, or were engaged in guarding particular places at night, and were not recognized as being in actual military service.
Four general classes of cases are embraced in this law:
1. The Regular Troops.
2. The State Troops, Militia, Volunteers.
3. Persons employed in the Naval service.
4. Indian Spies.

As rolls of regular troops in the Revolutionary War exist this Department, all persons, claiming the benefit of this law as officers, non-commissioned officers, musicians or privates, will in the first instance, make application by transmitting the following declaration, which will be made before a Court of Record of the County where such applicant resides. And every Court having by law a seal and Clerk is considered a Court of Record.

DECLARATION,
In order to obtain the benefit of the Act of Congress of the 7th of June, 1832.
State, Territory, or District of } ss.
County of
On this [Space] day of [Space] personally appeared (a) before
[Space] A. B. a resident (b) of [Space] in the county of [Space] and State, Territory or District of [Space] aged (c) [Space] years, who being first duly sworn, according to law, doth on his oath make the following declaration, in order to obtain the benefit of the provion [Illegible] by the act of Congress, passed June 7th, 1832. That he enlisted in the Army of the United States in the year (d) [Space], with [Space] and served in the [Space] (e) regiment of the [Space] line, under the following named officers:

[Here set forth the names and rank of the Field and Company Officers; the time he left the service; (and if he served under more than one term of enlistment, he must specify the particular period, and rank and names of his officers;) the town or country and State in which he resided when he entered the service; the battles, if any, in which he was engaged, and the county through which he marched. >This form is to be varied so as to apply to the cases of officers and persons who belonged to the militia, volunteers, navy, &c.]

He hereby relinquishes every claim (f) whatever to a pension or annuity, except the present, and he declares that his name is not on the Pension Roll of any Agency in any State, or (if any) only on that of the Agency in the State of [Space] A. B.
Sworn to and subscribed the day and year aforesaid.
[And then will follow the certificate of the Court.]
And the said Court do hereby declare their opinion (g) that the above named applicant was revolutionary soldier, and served as he states.
I [Space] of the Court of
do hereby certify (h) that the foregoing contains the original proceedings of the said Court in the matter of the application of [Space] for a pension.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal of office (i) this
[Space] day of [Space] &c.

If, on examination of the proper record the names of applicants, make such declaration, cannot be found, they will produce such proof as the rule given in note (j) points out.
Every applicant who claims a pension by virtue of service in the State Troops, Volunteers or Militia, except those who belonged to the New Hampshire Militia and State Troops of Virginia, will make and subscribe a declaration similar to the foregoing. with the following addition, viz:
(k) we, A. B., a Clergyman, residing in the [Space] and C. D. residing in (the same) hereby certify, that we are well acquainted with [Space], who has subscribed and sworn to the above declaration; that we believe him to be
years of age; that he is reputed and believed, in the neighborhood where he resides, to have been a soldier of the Revolution, and that we concur in that opinion.
Sworn and subscribed the day and year aforesaid.
[And then will follow the certificate of the Court.]
And the said Court do hereby declare their opinion, after the investigation of the matter, and after putting the interrogatories prescribed by the War Department, that the above named applicant was a Revolutionary Soldier, and served as he states. And the Court further certifies, that it appears to that that A. B.
who has signed the preceding certificate, is a clergyman, residing in the 
and that C. D., who has also signed the same is a resident in the 
and is a credible person, and that their statement is entitled to credit.
I, [Space] Clerk of the Court of [Space] do hereby certify that the foregoing contains the original proceedings of the said Court, in the matter of the applicacation of
for a pension.
[Space] In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and seal
[Space] of office, this [Space] day of [Space] &c.
Every applicant will produce the best proof in his power. This is the original discharge or commission; but if neither of these can be obtained, the party will so state under oath, and will then procure. if possible, the testimony of at least one credible witness, stating in detail his personal knowledge of the services of the applicant, and such circumstances connected therewith, as many have a tendency to throw light upon the transaction.
If such surviving witness cannot be found, the applicant will so state in his declaration (l) and he will also, whether he produce such evidence or not, proceed to relate all the material facts, which can be useful in the investigation of his claim, and in the comparison of his narrative with the events of the period of his alleged service, as they are known at the Department. A very full account of the services of each person
Page 14

will be indispensable to a favorable action upon his case. The facts stated will afford one of the principal means of corroborating the declaration of the applicant, if true, or of detecting the imposition, if one be attempted; and unless, therefore, these are amply and clearly set forth, no favorable decision can be expected. All applicants will appear before some Court of Record in the County, in which they reside, and there subscribe and be sworn to, one of the declarations to all applicants for a pension, on account of service in the Militia, State troops, or Volunteers, except the Militia of New Hampshire and the State troops of Virginia.
1. Where and in what year were you born?
2. Have you any record of your age, and if so, where is it?
3. Where were you living when called into service; where have you lived since the Revolutionary war, and where do you now live?
4. How were you called into service; were you drafted, did you volunteer, or were you a substitute?
5. State the name of some of the Regular Officers, who were with the troops, where you served; such Continental and Militia Regiments as you can recollect, and the general circumstances  of your services.
6. { To as Soldier. { Did you ever receive a discharge from the service, and if so, by whom was it given and what has become of it?
{ To an Officer. { Did you ever receive a commission, and if so, by whom was it signed, and what has become of it?
7. State the names of persons to whom you are known in your present neighborhood, and who can testify as to your character for veracity, and their belief of your services as a soldier of the Revolution. The Court will see that he answers to these questions are embodied in the declaration, and they are requested to annex their opinion of the truth of the statement of the applicant.
The applicant will further produce in Court, if the same can be done, in the opinion of the Court, without too much expense and inconvenience to him, two respectable persons -one of whom should be the nearest clergyman, if one lives in the immediate vicinity of such applicant, who can testify, from their acquaintance with him, that they believe he is of the age he represents, and that he is reputed and believed in the neighborhood to have been a Revolutionary soldier, and that they concur in that opinion. If one of these persons is a Clergyman, the Court will so certify, and they will also certify, to the character and standing of other persons, given such certificates.
The traditionary evidence of service is deemed very important, in the absence of any direct proof, except the declaration of the party. And the Court are requested to be very particular in the proof, except the declaration of the party. And the Courts are requested to be very particular in the enquiry whether the belief is general, and whether any doubts have ever existed upon the subject.
Applicants unable to appear in Court by reason of bodily infirmity, may make the declaration before required, and submit to the examination, before a Judge of Justice of a Court of Record of the proper county, and the Judge of Justice will execute the duties, which the Court of Record of the proper county, and submit to the examination, before a Judge or Justice of a Court of Record of the proper county, and the Judge or Justice will execute the duties, which the Court is herein requested to perform, and will also certify that the applicant cannot, from bodily infirmity, attend the Court.
Whenever any official act is required to be done by a Judge or Justice of a Court of Record, or by a Justice of the peace, the certificate of the Secretary of State or Territory, or of the proper Clerk of the Court of County, under his seal of office, will be annexed, stating that such person is a Judge or Justice of a Court of Record, or a Justice of the Peace, and that the signature annexed is his genuine signature.
No payments can be made on account of the services of any person, who may have died before the taking effect of the act of June 7, 1832; and in case of death subsequent thereto, and before the declaration herein required is made, the parties insterested will transmit such evidence as they can procure, taken and authenticated before a Court of Record, showing the services of the deceased, the period of his death, the opinion of the neighborhood respecting such services, the title of the claimant, and the opinion of the Court upon the whole matter.

[a] The declarant must appear in open Court, unless prevented from doing so by reason of bodily infirmity; in which case the declarant will follow the rule laid down for his guidance.
[b] The declarant must make his declaration in the county where he resides. If he should fail to do so, he must assign a sufficient reason for not conforming to the rule.
[c] The age of the claimant must invariable be mentioned.
[d] The declarant must mention the period or periods of the war when he served.
[e] Every continental officer or soldier must give the name of the Colonel under whom he served; otherwise a satisfactory examination of the claim cannot be had. Every claimant must state, with precision, the length of his service, and the different grades in which he served, in language so definite as to enable the Department to determine to what amount of pension he is entitled. In a case where the applicant cannot, by reason of the loss of memory, state precisely how long he served, he should amend his declaration by making an affidavit in the following words:
"Personally appeared before me, the undersigned, a Justice of the Peace, &c. A. B. who, being duly sworn, deposeth and saith, that, by reason of old age, and the consequent loss of memory, he cannot swear positively as to the precise length of his service; but, according to the best of his recollection, he served not less than the periods mentioned below, and in the following grades:- For __ year ____ months, and _____ days, I served as a ___ ___. For ___ __ months and _____ days, I served as a ____; and for such service I claim a pension."
It is important, in all cases, to determine with precision the period for which each applicant served, and the particular rank he held, as the law directs the pension to be paid according to the grade of the pensioner and the length of his service. The use of the phrase about three or four months, is too indefinite, and all such qualifying expressions are objectionable. Some persons who apply for pension merely state that they served two years to the militia, &c. without specifying the tours, the names of the officers, and other particulars respecting their service. This form of a declaration is highly objectionable. It must, in every case, be clearly shown under what officers the applicant served; the duration of each term of engagement; the particular place or places where the service was performed; that the applicant served with an embodied corps called into service by competent authority; that he was either in the field or in garrison; and for the time during which the service was performed, he was not employed in any civil pursuit.
[f] The law makes the relinquishment indispensable.
[g] The opinion of the Court is always required.
[h] The Clerk must give his certificate in every case.
[i] The Clerk must affix his seal, and if it has no device or inscription by which it can be distinguished from any other seal, or if he has no public seal of office, the certificate of a Member of Congress, proving the official character and signature of the certifying officer, should accompany the papers.

Mode of authenticating papers.
In every instance where the certificate of the certifying officer who authenticates the papers is not written on the same sheet of paper which contains the affidavit, or other papers authenticated, the certificate must be attached thereto by a piece of tape or narrow ribbon, the ends of which must pass under the seal of office of the certifying officer, so as to prevent any paper from being improperly attached to the certificate.

Proof of Service.

[j] In case where the name of the applicant is not found on the records of the Department, he must prove his service by two credible witnesses who are required to set forth in their affidavits the time of the claimant's entering the service, and the time and manner of his leaving the same, as well as the regiment, company, and line to which he belonged. The magistrate who may administer the oath must certify to the credibility of the witnesses, and the official character and signature of the magistrate must be certified by the proper office, under his seal of office.
> The notes from [a] to [i] are all equally applicable to the cases of Militia men, Volunteers and State Troops, The proof required by rule [Illegible] noted [j] applies to continental troops only.
[k] This traditionary evidence is indispensable in militia cases.
[j] If a witness cannot be found, the declarant must state the [Illegible].
[m] The answers to the interrogatories must all be written, and sent to the War Department, with the declaration.

The soldier returned to Ninety-Six District, South Carllins, early in 1782, where he enlisted and served two months as private in Captain Irby's South Carolina company, shortly after which he enlisted and served three months as private in Captain James Tinsley's (his brother's) company, Colonel Casey's South Carolina regiment.

Gelding Tinsley was allowed pension on his application executed
Page 16

September 25, 1832, at which time he resided in Spartanburgh District, South Carolina. He died May 9, 1851.

The soldier made no reference to wife or children.

In 1833, James Tinsley, the soldier's brother, was in Spartanburgh District, South Carolina, and stated that said James served in his company in South Carolina.

IN 1832, Rouben Golding made affidavit in behalf of James Tinsley in Lawrence County, South Carolina.

Additional declaration of Golding Tinsley --

In the month of April 1778 I fist entered into the Service of 
the United States in Newbery District South Carolina as a 
volunteer under the command of Captain Hays, Col Williams
and Genl. Williamson and marched to the city of Augusta Geo.
I served a Tour of two months and was discharged verbally--
I then in very short time volunteered under Capt. Leonard and 
marched to Stono where we fought the battle of Stono under the 
command of Capt. Leonard, Majr. Pickens, Col. Williams, & Genl.
Lincoln.  I served in this tour three months we then marched
through the State across a river which was then called cumbee [Combahee?]
to the coast in sight of an Island the name of which 
I have forgotten - where we saw the forces of the enemy
from thence we marched back to Newbery & was again
verbally discharged after serving a tour of three months
In the year 1779 I again volunteered under Capt. Hays and 
marched to Savannah, Georgia and was in the battle at
that place under the command of Capt. hays, Col. Williams,
and Genl. Lincoln - after we were driven back 
from that place we marched back to Newbery & was 
verbally discharged after serving a tour of two 
months.  I thence again volunteered my services in a 
horse company under Capt. Richie a company got 
up by the order of Col. Williams to search out and 
arrest the deserters, robers & Tories in Newbery & Laurens District, which were at that time much infested [?]
with such persons among whom was the famous
Capt. Cunningham of bloody memory.  we served 
that way in those two districts for near six months
I am sure as long as five months & a half.
Some time about the fall of Charleston I joined a 
company of Refugees under the command of Capt. 
Dan. Williams in the neighborhood of Kings Mountain
and was engaged in the battle at that place under
the command of Capt. Williams, Col Williams & Genl. Shelby
on which occasion Col. Williams was killed.  I 
continued with the Refugees & commanded by Capt. Jones & 
Col. Hays (who had been promoted to that station) & marched
Page 19

through the uper part of No Carolina & South Carolina
& fought the battles at the Blackstocks ford on Tyger River
and Cowpens after the last mentioned battle we marched
into North Carolina and in attempting to cross the Yadkin River
my horse was taken from me and was therefore compelled
to leave my company - after serving a tour of five
months and a half  I then went to Culpepper County
Virginia and took the place of another man as 
a Substitute under Capt. Booker & Col. Mathis as well
as I recollect we marched from Culpepper to Otisburgh
& from thence to Little York when we fought the battle which 
culminated in the surrender of Lord Cornwallis.  I was
then verbally discharged after serving a tour of six
months.  After that I returned to Newbery Dist. S. Ca. 
and in 1782 I volunteered under Capt. Irby & Genl. Dickins  I 
marched to Bacon Bridge on Ashley River & back home
after a tour of two months & was verbally discharged
and soon after volunteered under Capt. Saml.
Tinsley & Genl Casey & served three months scouting
in Newbery district.  It being the end of the war I 
was then verbally discharged.
I never received any written discharge though the 
war, all my services were rendered as a private.
I am not able to produce any positive evidence 
of my services except that which accompanies
my papers - during the whole time of my services
I was with regularly embodied corps as I understood
called into service by competent authority - and 
I was not during the time of my actual service in 
any civil employment or any employment except
that connected with the duties of a soldier
I do hereby relinquish every claim whatever
to a pension or an annuity except the present
and declare that my name is not on the [runs off page]
Roll of any state agency in any State.

Amended Declaration
of
Golding Tinsley

Golding Tinsley further on oath declared that the 
tour that he served under Capt. Leonard as described
in his declaration in which he fought the battle at
Stono he served three months as a private.  The tour
under Capt. Ritchie also mentioned in the declaration this 
deponent is not certain as to the precise time, as to days
but he knows he served for at least five months and 
fifteen days as a private.  The tour in which he fought at the battles of Blackstocks, Kings Mountain, and Cowpens
(also as a refugee referred to above in the original declaration) 
he served as private, as appears from the dates of the 
battles and from his own recollection five months and 
fifteen days.  The tour that he served six months as a 
substitute.  This deponent does not recollect the names of the 
officers under whom he served, as he was frequently
changed from one to another, and among strangers.  He 
thinks Capt. Booker [?] commanded at one time and 
at the siege he was under the command of Col.  Mathews [?]
The tour also referred to in the declaration in which this 
declarant served under Capt. Irby, he served two months
as a private - and the tour under Capt. Tinsley & Col. Casey
to the end of the war was at least three months.
This deponent served during the whole of the above time in 
regular embodied corps, called into service, as he always
understood and believed by competent authority and 
that he was for the time referred to engaged as a private
soldier and was engaged in no civil pursuit.
