State of Kentucky  Fayette County } sct.   On this 17th of March 1834, personally appeared  in open court, before the Hon. Thomas M. Hickey now sitting, Samuel Boone now a resident of said county, who being first duly sworn according to law doth on his oath make the following declaration to obtain an increase of his pension under the act of 7 June 1832. He states that when he made his original application for a pension under said act he was not aware that he would receive credit for any services rendered against the indians in the western country, and therefore he did not detail those expeditions and services which he served in and rendered after he removed from South Carolina, which he now gives. When he was discharged in South Carolina, hearing that his uncle Danl. Boone was raising a company in North Carolina to march to Kentucky, he went to Rowan county where Col Boone was raising it, and entered it as a volunteer. They marched on the 15th September 1779, and arrived at Boones borough in October of same year. The very next day after his arrival, he was ordered to Bryants, near Lexington, with a detachment to protect the families there settled, where they were placed under the command of Capt. Wm Hayes. They immediately commenced a station, which was afterwards called Bryants station; which they did not complete until the spring 1780. In that spring the indians killed one of the company, and stole nearly
Page 10

all the horses. He aided in erecting nearly all the buildings erected there. He remained there in garrison until October 1780 when orders were received from Col. Boone to forward a detachment to reinforce Boone station, where he marched as one of them and remained in garrison, until 1781, in the spring, when he was sent with others under the command of Capt Hayes to aid in building canoes for General Clarkes army, to convey corn to him, then at the falls of ohio. After that service which only lasted 2 weeks, he returned to the fort of Boone station, where he remained in garrison defending it until April 1782, in which month Col Boone sent a detachment to strodes station, which was there commended by Capt John Constant. There at the request of said Constant he in company with Andrew Rule, volunteered as a spy, and served thirty days. After that he returned to Bonestation [Boones station] where he remained until the middle of June, when he served a tour of thirty days as a spy under the command of Capt James Stevenson, ranging the country from Licking river to Big bone lick; after which he returned to the station. He remained in garrison until the 22 of August, when he was again detached under the command of major John Holder in pursuit of a party of indians , who had taken two boys, named Jones Hoy son of Major Hoy and John Calloway son of Col Richard Calloway. They overtook the indians at the upper Blue Licks, and in the battle which insued [ensued] they were defeated, and returned to Boonestation [Boones station]. There he remained, and in a few days several of the wounded who were in the battle of the Lower Blue Licks were brought in, and he aided in
Page 11

taking care of them He remained in garrison 
doing duty until the close of the revolutionary 
war in April 1783. He states without hesitation 
that he served even in Kentucky more than 
three years. Subscribed & sworn the day & year

Dear Madam:     
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War record of Samuel Boone, born about 1728, in Pennsylvania, died about 1806, in Fayette County, Kentucky; who was the brother of Daniel Boone. The data furnished herein were obtained from papers on file in claim for pension, S. 1168, based upon service of Samuel Boone, in the War of the Revolution. This is the record of the only Samuel Boone (Boon) found on file in the Revolutionary War pension records of this office.     
Samuel Boone was born March 21, 1758 "on Yadkin River," in North Carolina. He was the son of Samuel Boone, name of his mother not given.    
While residing in Camden District, South Carolina, on Congaree River, Samuel Boone served in 1775, as substitute for his father, as private in Captain John Cook's company, Colonel Robert Goodwin's South Carolina regiment, was in an engagement at Ninety-Six and captured about three hundred Tories, length of service three months. He enlisted July 1, 1776, served three months in Captain William McGowan's company, Colonel Robert Goodwin's regiment. He served in the fall of 1778, three months as substitute for his father, in Captain Cook's company, Colonel Robert Goodwin's regiment. He enlisted early
Page 13

2-     
in the year 1779, served three months in Captain John McChord's company, Colonel Robert Goodwin's regiment.     
Shortly after the expiration of this service, Samuel Boone learned that his uncle, Daniel Boone, was raising a volunteer company in North Carolina, to go to Kentucky to suppress the Indians; he went to Rowan County, North Carolina, and joined Daniel Boone's company, marched from there on September, 15, 1779, and reached Kentucky late in October, 1779. Samuel Boone served under Captains William Hayes, Charles Hazbrigg, James Stevenson, John Constant, Colonels Daniel Boone and Levi Todd. He assisted in erecting the fort at Bryant's Station, and part of the time was a spy; he was in the battle of Upper Blue Licks under Major John Holder, and continued in the service until April 16, 1783.      
Samuel Boone was allowed pension on his application executed September 29, 1832, at which time he was a resident of Clark County, Kentucky. He was living in Fayette County, Kentucky, in 1834.      
The papers on file in this claim contain no reference to wife or children of Samuel Boone. The following data in regard to the sisters of the soldier, Samuel Boone, are shown in the claim: Mrs. Elizabeth White, widow of William White in 1832, then eighty years of age, and living in Madison County, Kentucky;      
Mrs. Rebecca Jones, born April, 1768, living in Fayette County, Kentucky, in 1832;     
Sarah Montgomery, living in 1832, in the State of Missouri;      
Mary Bradley, also living in 1832, in Missouri.

Dr. Colonel. I enclose you some papers connected with the claim of Samuel Boon for a pension. I prepared the original papers which are now before Mr Edwards, but recollect nothing in relation to the facts at this time. Mr Boone mentions to me now that a certain Timothy Logan, who served with him, is now drawing a pension for services precisely Similar to his, and in support of whose claim his deposition was used a certain Oswald Townsons is in a similar situation By examining their papers, some aid may be obtained in order to place Mr Boones claim in a proper point of view to Mr Edwards.

	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 the answers to these questions are embodied in the declaration, and they are requested to annex their opinions 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 giving 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 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 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 or 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 interested 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 invariably 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 be served; otherwise a satisfactory examination of the claim cannot be had. Every claimant must state, with precision, the length of this 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 is too indefinite, and all such qualifying expressions are objectionable. [underlining by hand begins] Some persons who apply for pensions merely state that they served two years in 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. [underlining by hand ends]
	[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 a 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 be belonged. The magistrate who may administer the oaths must certify to the credibility of the witnesses, and the official character and signature of the magistrate must be certified by the proper officer, under his seal of office.
	[pointing hand icon] 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 in note [j] applies to continental troops only.
	[k] This traditionary evidence is indispensable in militia cases.
	[l] If a witness cannot be found, the declarant must state the fact.
	[m] The answers to the interrogatories must all be written, and sent to the War Department, with the declaration.

Dear Madam:

	Reference is made to your letter in which you 
request information in regard to Samuel Boone of 
North and South Carolina, and Thomas Lovett of 
Georgia, both soldiers of the War of the Revolution.

	Revolutionary War data furnished by this office 
are obtained from claims for pension and bounty land 
made to the United States, based upon military ser-
vice [service] of soldiers in that war.

	A search of the records fails to show such 
claims on file on account of the Revolutionary War 
services of any Thomas Lovett; various spellings 
of the surname have been searched.

	The record of Samuel Boone which follows was 
obtained from the papers on file in pension claim, 
S. 1168, based upon his military service in the War 
of the Revolution. This is the record of the only 
Samuel Boone (Boon), that is found on file in the 
Revolutionary War records of this office.

	Samuel Boone was born March 21, 1758 "on Yadkin 
River" in North Carolina; he was the son of Samuel 
Boone, name of his mother not given.

	While residing in Camden District, South Caro-
lina [Carolina] on Congaree River, Samuel Boone served in 1775, 
as substitute for his father, as private in Captain 
John Cook's company, Colonel Robert Goodwin's South
Page 50

Carolina regiment, was in an engagement at Ninety-Six, 
took about 300 Tories prisoners, length of service 
three months. He enlisted July 1, 1776 and served 
three months in Captain William McGowan's company, 
Colonel Robert Goodwin's regiment. He served in the 
fall of 1778, three months as a substitute for his 
father, in Captain Cook's company, Colonel Robert 
Goodwin's regiment. He enlisted early in the year 1779, 
served three months in Captain John McChord's company, 
Colonel Robert Goodwin's regiment.

	Shortly after the expiration of this service, 
the soldier, Samuel Boone, learned that his uncle, 
Daniel Boone, was raising a volunteer company in North 
Carolina to go to Kentucky to suppress the Indians. He 
went to Rowan County, North Carolina and joined Daniel 
Boone's company, marched September 15, 1779, reaching 
Kentucky late in October, 1779; he served under Cap-
tains [Captains] William Hayes, Charles Hazbrigg, James Steven-
son [Stevenson], John Constant, Colonels Levi Todd and Daniel 
Boone. He assisted in building the fort at Bryant's 
Station, was stationed at Boons Station and Strodes 
Station, a part of the time was a spy, was in the 
battle of Upper Blue Licks under Major John Holder, 
and served until April 16, 1783.

	Samuel Boone was allowed pension on his appli-
cation [application] executed, September 29, 1832, at which time heh 
was a resident of Clark County, Kentucky. He was 
living in Fayette County, Kentucky in 1834.

	It is not stated that soldier was ever married.

	The following data in regard to the sisters of 
the soldier, Samuel Boone, are found in the claim: 
Mrs. Elizabeth White, widow of William White in 1832,

Dear Madam:

	The data furnished herein were obtained from

Box 524				Richard Bradley-W. 896.
Fort Morgan, Colorado.

Dear Madam:

	RICHARD BRADLEY-W. 896.

	The record of Richard Bradley given below is from the papers 
on file in pension claim, W. 896, based upon his service in the Revo-
lutionary [Revolutionary] War. His name is not shown as Richard T. Bradley in said 
claim.

	Richard Bradley, while a resident of Duplin County, North Caro-
lina [Carolina], enlisted August 9, 1777, served as corporal and sergeant in 
Captains Henry Dawson's and James Reed's companies, Colonel Thomas 
Clark's North Carolina regiment, wintered at Valley Forge, was in the 
battle of Monmouth, went south, was in the Siege of Charleston, South 
Carolina, and on May 12, 1780, was taken prisoner and remained such for 
two years and three months; he made his escape, and was discharged near 
Charleston in the fall of 1782. He served a tour of two or three months 
against the Tories in North Carolina, assisted in taking prisoners and 
in shooting one Tory, and was discharged in November or December, 1783, 
officers names not stated.

	He was allowed pension on his application executed April 3, 1832, 
at which time he resided in Sumner County, Tennessee, where he had lived 
many years. His age,tthe [the] date and place of his birth, and names of his 
parents are not stated. He died August 20, or 22, 1837 in said Sumner 
County.

	Richard Bradley married in Duplin County, North Carolina, Catharine 
Taylor; there was a gathering at her father's home in Duplin County,at the 
time of the wedding, name of her father not designated.

	Pension was allowed Catharine Bradley, the widow of said Richard
Page 58

Bradley, on her application executed October 14, 1837. She was 
then seventy-four years of age and resided with her son, David Bradley, 
in Sumner County, Tennessee. In 1838, however, she gave her age as 
seventy years, no explanation regarding this discrepancy, nor is the 
date of her birth stated. She died August 22, 1839 in Sumner County, 
Tennessee.

	The names of the following children of Richard Bradley, the 
soldier, and his wife, Catharine , who survived their mother and were 
the only living heirs in 1854 are show: Abraham Bradley and David 
Bradley,of Sumner County, Tennessee, and Isaac Bradley.

	John Bradley, the soldier's brother, served with him in the 
tour in 1783 against the Tories in North Carolina, and returned with him 
from that tour. In 1837, Mary Bradley, then eighty-five years of age 
and a neighbor of Catharine Bradley, soldier's widow, stated that she 
was acquainted with both Richard Bradley and Catharine Taylor before 
their marriage, was present at said marriage, and that her husband served 
with said Richard in 1783, but she did not state his name, and it is not 
stated that the John Bradley who served that tour was the husband of this 
Mary Bradley.

	In 1837, Jacob Taylor, of Davidson County, Tennessee, stated that 
he was a small boy at the time his sister, Catharine and Richard Bradley 
were married. John Taylor was a neighbor of the soldier, Richard Bradley, 
in Sumner County, Tennessee, in 1822, no relationship to Catharine stated. 
In 1854, James P. Taylor was one of the presiding judges of the Sumner 
County Court, no relationship to these other persons with surname Taylor 
shown.

	The record of Richard Bradley given above is that of the only 
soldier with that name that is found on the Revolutionary War records of 
this office. Such claims made to the United States are the source of 
data relative to Revolutionary War soldiers furnished by this office.

Department of the Interior,
Bureau of Pensions,
Hon.Washington Gardner , Commissioner ,
Washington, D.C.
Dear Sirs:
	In re. Re v. and 1812 war Section.
	I am in receipt of your favors of the 25th inst., 
enclosing pension statements of Joseph Proctor and 
Squire Boone,for which I am very grateful.

	In my letter of the 15th inst.,asking for the 
pension statements of five persons,it did not occur 
to me that you might not be in position to furnish 
more than two such statements,otherwise I would have 
been more specific in my requests.

	Now the fact is that one statement in which I 
was most particularly interested was that of Samuel 
Boone ,son of Samuel Boone and nephew of Daniel Boone. 
Unless,therefore,you can relieve my distress of mind 
by stretching a point and furnishing me this addi-
tional [additional] statement I shall have to forego the pleasure 
it would afford me of having the pension statement 
of said Samuel Boone.

	Very truly yours,
	[signature] T. J. Bryant
