Declaration in order to obtain the benefits of the Act of Congress passed June 7th 1832.

State of North Carolina, Orange County

On the 27th day of November 1832 personally appeared in open court before the Justices of the Court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions now sitting George Carrington a resident of the County of Orange North Carolina, aged about seventy seven (77) 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. That he entered the service of the United States under his brother Captain James Carrington, when he first served. - I hear this deposed saith that his mind is so shattered and his memory is so frail, that he cannot trust it. This deponent saith that in early life and for many years after he had passed the middle of life, he was industrious and prosperous and possessed of a good estate. That misfortune with mismanagement brought his private affairs into confusion, which terminated in the entire dispersion and destruction of the whole of his estate. And that in this helpless condition, he was rendered much more helpless and his situation more deplorable and wretched, by the [illegible] of God, in the detraction of his intellect for a considerable time. That in the years 1818 and 1819 as he thinks, there was an entire alienation of mind for the most of the time, and that ever since his mind and memory have been so weak and treacherous, that he cannot, nor can is friends trust them. And yet he has always been temperate or reasonably so.

Page 4

This deposed is therefore compelled to throw himself very much upon the recollection of others who knew him and have a better knowledge of the events of the Southern Wars. He well remembers that he first entered the service with his brother Capt. James Carrington- and that Col. Tanner was in the service part of the time. They marched to [illegible] at Catawba River a while, but a short time, then lower down in South Carolina joined other troops. Before a fight which was [illegible], he was placed with the baggage wagons, and one was placed in his care. The driver of the wagon was Elisha Roberts, a young man [illegible] by departments   [illegible]. He was with the wagons when a battle was fought at Stono, South Carolina. His brother Capt. James was on the battle. Deponent is informed this was in 1779. The years he cannot remember. He went the first time in the place of Solomon Mangum, that is, he was a substitute. He thinks he was from home four or five months - though as to the length of time he cannot speak with certainty.

Afterwards he entered the service under his brother he thinks, took the southern tour, was in the many places in South Carolina, was under a Capt. Sipham during the time. He was at the Seige of Charleston, was taken a prisoner upon the fall of the City, but was kept a very short time and paroled. He thinks he must have been out at least six months this time. This was in 1780, as he is informed.

This deponent afterwards turned out as volunteer for three months under Capt John McFarling to fight the tories. McFarling and deponent were [illegible] bags together. The marched to Haw River and went down the river and on both sides looking out for Forces. They [...]

Page 5

Met the Tories at Lindleys Mills said to be four or five hundred. Where we had a hard fight, I gave them a good beating. Though our number was much smaller than theirs. The two first times he was s foot soldier. The last time at Lindleys Mills ye was in the light horse. Col Mebane commanding – and a brave soldier he was. The deponent saw him fall under the bullets of a tory a short time after the fight at Lindleys Mills. Daniel Clower and deponent were near to him when he was shot. He was out this time he thinks more than three months. The deponent afterwards came home – entered as volunteer again under Capt McFarling, set out to pursue the Tories, but our numbers were small. We went as far as Will Cains and were told we should be cut up there being only 35 or 40 of us – and the Tories being perhaps ten times as strong. The Captain disbanded us. We came home and I never served again. 

The deponent has no written discharge, nor does he remember that he ever had one. He was born in Orange County North Carolina and has lived in the County ever since. He has no record of his age. His father was illiterate, and he believes kept none. The Deponent is poor and feeble. I thought he believes he can get many [illegible], if he were able to travel about, yet he hopes the affidavit herewith will be deemed sufficient.

He hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension or annuity except the present and declares that his name is not on the pension roll of any state, or the agency of any state.

To

W. James L. Edwards,

DSir, [sic Dear Sir]

I have examined the objections to granting a pension to George Carrington and believe that Gen. Barringer his immediate representative and myself, can obviate them. Will you be so obliging as to look into the papers yourself. If you can find the time. I have known the applicant all my life. I know that the statement in his declaration as to his prosperity in early and middle life, his subsequent misfortunes, the alienation of his mind in 1818-19 and the only partial restoration of his faculties; may be taken as true. I know that his memory is so broke up that he cannot give a connected and intelligible account of any of his transactions that have been at all complicated. I have always heard that he was a soldier in the revolution, and I feel sure that no one in his neighborhood doubts it.

I know William Cumming of Hillsboro, one of Carrington’s [illegible] who was also a soldier in the revolution; I state that his credibility is, I believe, unquestionable. –I have known W. Cumming nearly twenty years. He has been occasionally intemperate, but for truth and in other respects, his standing

Page 8

has been good. Of late he has been temperate and though a poor man, he has always been regarded and treated with respect by the best people in his town. On account of his revolutionary service, his general integrity, and the respectability of his children.

I also have known for more than thirty years another witness, Claiborne Parrish; I state that for general probity and credibility, no man in his county can take precedence of him. 

The other witness, William P. Mangum is my father of whom I may not speak.

I do not believe the length of service can now be given with more precision. But it seems to me that the proof is full as to service at least of twelve months – no tour in North Carolina was, I think, of shorter period than 3 months. 

I trust this statement accompanied with General Barringer may be deemed sufficient. 

Yours respectfully,

Willie P. Mangum

Dear Madam:

I advise you from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, S. 1815, it appears that George Carrington was born in Orange County, North Carolina, date not stated.

While a resident of Orange County, North Carolina, he enlisted in 1779 and served four or five months as private in Captain James Carrington’s (his brother) Company, Colonel Hugh Tinning’s North Carolina Regiment. He enlisted in 1780 and served in Captain James Carrington’s (his brother) and Lipham’s North Carolina Companies, was in the siege of Charleston where he was taken prisoner by shortly afterwad was paroled, serving in all, six months. He later enlisted and served three months in Captain John McFarling’s company, Colonel Mebane’s North Carolina Regiment and was in the battle of Lindley’s Mill. He afterward served in Captain John McFarling’s North Carolina Company; length of service not stated.

He was allowed pension on his application executed November 27, 1832. The name of his wife does not appear in the papers of the pension claim.

In 1833 reference was made to his children but no names were stated. The name of his wife does not appear in the papers of the pension claim.

The Revolutionary War records of this bureau fail to afford any information in regard to a claim for pension or bounty land having been made on account of the service of the above mentioned Captain James Carrington. 

Very truly yours,

Earl D. Church

EXPLANATORY NOTES.

* QUERE V. 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.

Page 14

3

     It is important in all cases to determine with precision the period for within 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 pensions merely state they served two years in the militia, etc., 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 core 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.

†QUERE XIV. Proof of Service.
     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 claimants 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 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

‡QUERE XVI. Mode of authenticating papers.
     In every instance where the certificate of the certifying officer who authenticates the papers ins not written on the same sheet of paper which contains the affidavit, or other paper 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 the office of the certifying officer, so as to prevent any paper from being improperly attached to the certificate.

 [manicule] In every case where the clerk of the court, or other certifying officer, 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.

Affidavit

State of North Carolina
Orange County
§
Personally appeared before me William Horner, one of the Justices of the Court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions for said County and State, William P. Mangum [sic, Willie P. Mangum] who being duly sworn according to law, deposeth and saith that he has known George Carrington who is now an applicant for a pension from the General Government upon an Act of Congress passed the 7th June 1832, about sixty years – that said George and this deponent were raised in about two miles of each other. That said George Carrington as deponent supposes, is about seventy-six years of age (76). This deponent remembers that said George Carrington left the neighborhood and was gone into the service as a soldier for a length of time. This deponent then ever since has understood that he was under the immediate Command of his brother Captain James Carrington who was an officer of the Militia, and who was in the service in the South, about Stono and Charleston, South Carolina.

The deponent was very young, too young for the service and has no means of ascertaining the length of said Carrington’s service.  

This deponent further saith that afterward the said George Carrington went as a substitute for Solomon Mangum and uncle of deponent upon a three month’s tour and received for compensation a horse a mare by the name of Regulus, as he thinks. That during that tour, this deponent understood at the time, the service was to be against Indians and Tories, who were said to be threatening or actually injuring the Mountain or Western parts of the State of North Carolina. 

This deponent has always understood and does not doubt that said George Carrington was afterwards in the Battle at Lindley’s Mill against the tories commanded by Colonel Fanning.

The deponent is sure that during this last mentioned tour he could not have been a substitute for Solomon Mangum for Deponent then understood that a man by the name of Minor was a substitute for him at Lindley’s Mill and was

Page 17

killed in battle. Reuben Minor was his name. This fact is strongly impressed upon the memory of deponent. His uncle Solomon being a near neighbor, the unhappy fate of his substitute was much talked of. Deponent understood at the time that Captain John McFarling [sic, McFarland] was George Carrington’s immediate officer.

The tories retreated toward the Brown Marsh toward Wilmington. McFarland returned home in a few days after the battle, beat up for volunteers, to strengthen his company and to pursue the tories. The tories were said to be upwards of 400 strong. McFarland raised thirty-six or seven men. Carrington was of the number and so was deponent. I marched as far as William Cains, there remonstrances from pruinant men against the rashness of an attempt to pursue the tories through a disaffected part of the Country and the uncertainty of joining any competent force to effect the object, the tories then being certainly as war supposed, at least 40 or 50 miles from them, the Captain decided and disbanded his men.

A few days ago, the papers in the case of George Carrington were returned to me and I have misplaced the affidavit of one witness, Claiborne Parrish. I will try to find it. If I shall fail, I think I can state the substance of it. I drew the affidavit and Parrish is my neighbor and a good and worth man.

Mr. Parrish states that he served in a tour of three or more months with George Carrington, under Captain McFarland as I think, on the Wexhaw River [sic, Waxhaw River], North Carolina, on both sides of the river from Deep River to Orange some forty miles above. That he was in the battle at Lindley’s Mill with Carrington under Colonel Butler [sic, Brigadier General John Butler] or Colonel Mebane, against the Tories under the command of Colonels McNeil and Fanning. That Carrington served that tour as a substitute for Reuben Minor. I think twelve months service is fully proved and in fact more, but an allowance for 12 months will be satisfactory.

William Cumming of the County and State aforesaid, being duly sworn deposeth and saith, that he knew George Carrington, who is now an applicant for a pension under the Act of Congress passed the 7th June 1832 during the Revolutionary War. That said George Carrington was a private under the immediate command of his brother Captain James Carringto, that said George Carrington was marched from Hillsborough in said County, Colonel Hugh Tinner commanding, to Salisbury in said State and thence near the Catawba River, on Waxaw Creek [sic, Waxhaw Creek], where the army remained two or three months to the best of the deponent’s recollection. Thence the said George Carrington was marched to Charleston South Carolina and was there during the siege and upon the fall of Charleston the said deponent and said George Carrington were both taken prisoner, and were some short time thereafter discharged upon their parole. Thes deponent believes that said Carrington was in the service at this time, from the period of his leaving Hillsborough to the time of his discharge at Charleston fi e of six months. This deponent further saith that said Carrington performed his duty faithfully as far as the deponent knew or has heard.
