 That he entered the services of the United States as a substitute for his brother James Carter on the first of January 1780. he marched from the County of Halifax in the state of North Carolina as a private in a company of drafted Militia commanded by a Captain Scurlock and which belonged to a brigade under the command of General Thomas Eaton.- he marched from the County of Halifax aforesaid (North Carolina) to the state of South Carolina and marched about in different directions through the state of South Carolina. and then marched directly to Briar Creek in the State of Georgia near Jacksonsborough at which place he was in an engagement with the enemy about the last of May of the said year (1780) we then marched back to the state of South Carolina and remained in Georgetown in that state until the first of the following september at which time and place I was discharged and came home.- I received my discharge from General Eaton - it is lost and cannot befound. - the exact time of service on this tour was eight months. Soon after I returned home it came to my own turn, I then enlisted [enlisted is underlined] in the service of the United States and served as a private [and served as a private is added between the lines] for three years under a Captain Powell and was attached to a brigade under the command of General Lincoln.- We marched on the 20th of November 1780 from Halifax town in the County of Halifax and State of North Carolina towards the County of Guilford in the said State and arrived there some three or four weeks previous to the celebrated battle which [word crossed out] was fought at Guilford Courthouse on the night of March 1787 I was in that battle during the whole of the engagement. soon after this battle was fought we marched on slowly to-ward Charleston in South Carolina. passing by Brush Mountain and many other places of [illegible] inferior note. I was engaged in the capture of four or five hundred tories in these mountains. we then took a rout through the lower part of South Carolina and Georgia frequently having encounters with squads of tories, with which that country abounded at that time. - after marching through these states in the manner

aforesaid, we marched on toward Halifax again from whence we had set out, and arrived back there some time about the last of May 1782 having been gone about eighteen months, when I arrived back to Halifax I received a furlough for twenty days to visit my family. after the expiration of which furlough I rejoined the army near Colonel Long's in the said county of Halifax and state of North Carolina. we then marched to the northern part of the state of Virginia, passing near the city of Richmond rather circuitously to the extreme northern part of Virginia near the Maryland State line; after spending nearly twelve months in that part of Virginia we were counter marched back to Halifax in the state of North Carolina at which place I was engaged in a skirmish with the enemy. soon afterwords the three years for which I enlisted [enlisted underlined] expired and I was discharged by General Lincoln. my discharge is lost and can not be found. and I no of no persons now living who were with me during the service by whom I can prove the particulars of my service. but can prove by William Tuck and David Street that I entered the service, and quit at the time specified in my declaration. 
I was born in the County of Halifax in the State of North Carolina sometime in the latter part of the year 1760. where I resided until the year 1806, and where I lived when I entered the service. In 1806 I moved to the County of Halifax in the State of Virginia. where I have resided ever since with the exception of about eight months residence in the County of Monroe Virginia, when I was together with my wife and invalid [invalid underlined] son sent back to the County of Halifax in the State of Virginia by the overseers of the poor of Monrow County in vertice of an Act of assembly of Virginia in such Cases made and provided. I have no record of my age, but always believed that I was born at the time stated. 
I regularly received discharges both at the termination of the tour for which I was substitute for my brother James Carter & at the end of the time for which I enlisted. but having not least idea that they could ever be of service to me. they became lost and distroyed during the lapse of so long a time and now can not be found. 
I lived in the county of Halifax in the state of North Carolina when I entered the service of the United States, and remained there untill the year 1806.. when I moved to Virginia where I now live. 
I entered the service the first time as a substitute for my brother James Carter, and served a tour of eight [eight underlined] months. I enlisted and entered the service for three years [three years underlined] the second time, and served my time out.

I was with Captain Scurlock, General Thomas Eaton, Captain Powel and General Lincoln, and saw General Marion in South Carolina, and General Washington in Virginia, during my service. - the particulars of my service are as fully detailed in my declaration as I can now such  at this advanced age and after the long interval which has elapsed since the war. 
I received two discharges one in Georgetown in South Carolina from General Eaton, and the other from General Lincoln in the town of Halifax. - County of Halifax in the State of North Carolina. 
I know of no person now living who served with me, and who can state the particulars of my service, but I can prove by [name crossed out] William Tuck and David Street that I entered the service, and quit the service at the times specified in my declaration. I have no documentary evidence of my service.
