Virginia, to wit: 
On this 28th day of July 1834 personally appeared before the court of Halifax County now sitting John Bayne a resident of said county and state aforesaid aged seventy 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, that he entered the service of the Revolution in the month of January 1781, as a substitute for his father Daniel Bayne who had been drafted and ordered to perform a tour of three months service, he marched from the County of Lunenburg in the state of Virginia where he then resided in a company of Militia commanded by Captain Lee, went through Charlotte County crossed Staunton River at Bibb’s ferry and was for some time in the county of Halifax and joined General Green’s [sic: Nathanael Greene’s] army at Wyley’s tavern in the said County of Halifax, they soon after entered the state of North Carolina, march in various directions not being long stationed at any one place, the militia daily falling in and joining us until we met with Lord Cornwallis’ army in the County of Guilford N.C. we had a severe battle [Battle of Guilford Courthouse, 15 Mar 1781] in which the Americans were defeated, a retreat was ordered, the company to which I was attached with many others rendezvoused again at Wins’ mill in the said county of Guilford, where under Colo. Natha’l Cock [Nathaniel Cocke] and Colo. Haynes Morgan, at that place I was detailed as a guard to carry a parcel of British prisoners to the Barracks in Albemarle County, Virginia, myself and others under the command of Lieut. Cox carried the said prisoners to that place. I was then dischared [discharged] by said Cox about the last of April 1781, the discharge

Page 17

obtained from Lieut. Cox was given to my father on my return home and I do not know what became of it. I served on this tour upwards of three months I do not know any person living that was in service with me at that time, that would enable me to prove the said service. Soon after my arrival at home, in the month of May 1781 I was drafted and ordered to serve my own tour of three months service. I marched from the said county of Lunenburg under Capt. Rogers to Prince Edward Court-house and at that place joined the army under General Robert Lawson, Colo. [John] Holcombe and Major Purnell, from thence we marched through Amelia and Cumberland to Pointy Fork on James River [sic: Point of Fork at the confluence of James and Rivanna rivers] from thence to Morben Hill [sic: Malvern Hill 15 mi SE of Richmond] from thence we marched in different directions and were not long at any one place we were as low down James River as Portsmouth Norfolk &c. we then marched back to Williamsburg about this time our term of three months service expired, but we were not discharged which produced a considerable murmur with some of the soldiers of the company to which I was attached, at Williamsburg we joined many other troops under General Washington Lafayette, Stephens [sic: Edward Stephens] &c. from thence we marched to Little York we were stationed until Lord Cornwallis and his army surrendered to Genl [General] Washington in the month of October 1780 [sic: 19 Oct 1781], after which I was discharged at Littleyork Little York] about the last of October 1781 by Colo Holt Richardson [Holt Richeson] my discharge is lost and cannot be found. I do not know any person living that was in that service with me

Page 18

to prove it by, the whole time of service rendered on this tour was not less that [than] five months, the total service rendered by me as a private in the War of the Revolution was not less than eight months for which I claim a pension. I was born in the year 1764 in the county of Westmoland [sic: Westmoreland] in the state of Virginia. My age was recorded in a family bible that was carried by my father to the state of Tennessee. I lived in the county of Lunenburg when I entered the service of the Revolution. I lived in the said County one year after the war closed. I lived in the County of Charlotte six years, then came to the County of Halifax and have lived in that county ever since. I entered the service first as a substitute for Daniel Bayne and last I was drafted to serve my own tour. The officers and circumstances of my service are stated in my declaration. I Received 2 discharges 1st was given to me by Lieut [Lieutenant] Cox, the 2nd by Colo Holt Richardson they are lost. Colo. Chas. T. Harris Colo. Thomas Davenport, Colo. Chas. A. Ballow Capt. Isaac Medley and many others can testify as to my character for veracity and their belief of my services as a soldier of the Revolution. I hereby relinquish every claim whatever to a pension or annuity except the present and declare that my name is not on the pension Roll of the Agency of any state.

Dear Madam: 
I advise you from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, W. 9336, it appears that John Bayne was born in 1764, in Westmoreland County, Virginia. He stated that his age was recorded in the family Bible which was carried by his father to the State of Tennessee. 
While residing in Lunenburg County, Virginia, he enlisted in January, 1781, and served as a substitute for his father, Daniel Bayne, in Captain Lee's Virginia Company. He was in the battle of Guilford and after said battle was detailed under Lieutenant Cox to guard prisoners to Albemarle Barracks and served three months. 
He enlisted in May, 1781, and served five months in Captain Rogers' Company, Colonel Holcombe's Virginia Regiment, and was at the surrender of Cornwallis, 
About one year after the Revolution closed, he moved to Charlotte County, Virginia, and lived there six years,

Page 21

[typed form]

then moved to Halifax County, Virginia, where he was residing when he was allowed pension on his application executed July 28, 1834. 
He died in Halifax County, Virginia, May 21, 1857. 
The soldier married October 25, 1822, in Halifax County, Virginia, Sally Canada. 
She was allowed pension on her application executed July 27, 1857, at which time she was living in Halifax County, Virginia, aged sixty-six years. 
There is no reference to children. 
This is the history of the only soldier by the name of John Bayne, all spellings of the surname searched that is found on the Revolutionary War records of this bureau. 
Very truly yours, 

EARL D. CHURCH

Mr. Edwards. 
Sir: If you will examine the Declaration of John Bayne herewith enclosed to you again, you will find that instead of his being a Volunteer twice, he first entered the service as a Substitute for his Father Daniel Bayne who was Drafted. That he was drafted the second time to serve his own tour of three months service, but was detained 5 months, if you will consider the period of this service, and the situation of Virginia; at that time, Lord Cornwallis with the British forces in Virginia. Petersburg just taken by Genl. Philips &c; you will not believe In an unusual thing for the Malitia [Militia] to be kept in service a longer time than they were drafted for, I have seen soldiers some of them now living, that were drafted to serve three months in Virginia in the Spring and Summer of 1781 - that served 5 or 6 months before being discharged as I was informed by them, Mr. John Bayne can get no positive proof. You will descide [decide] on his case as you believe to be just, give him a pension eithier [either] for 6 or 8 months, 
Inclosed [Enclosed] I send you another affidavit in the case of Caleb Dodson, 
Mr. Charles Allen cannot prove his service as Lieut [Lieutenant], his service as Sergeant &c has been proved by Jacob Faris you will please send his certificate as a Sergeant and Private.

Sir:
The claim of John Bayne has been examined
and is herewith returned.
The applicant claims to have volunteered
for two terms of duty of three months, but states that the last tour was continued for five months, on account of the refusal and the fact of the commanding Officer to give them their discharges. This practice was so unusual, that direct testimony will be required to sustain his claim.--
