That he was born in the aforesaid County where he has always continued to reside On the 17 th July 17 th ! That he entered the Militia Service in the County & State aforesaid in the war of the revolution, in the year 1779 as a private soldier under the Command of Capt Samuel Price in the first Regiment Virginia Militia and served out a full tour of duty; After that he entered in the same Service in said County of Henrico, as a substitute in the place of Ezekiah Warner under the Command of Capt Joseph Price and served to the end of that tour After that he entered the same Service in said County under the Command of Capt George Brade which will more fully appear by a discharge hereto enclosed marked one & dated on the 31 st July 1781 after that he served a full tour of duty as a substitute in the place of Archibald Austin

under the Command of Capt. Wm. Carter of said County of Henrico after that, he was again called into service under the Command of Lieut. W. Roughton and served to the end of the war which will more fully appear by a discharge here to inclosed dated the 26 th day of May 1862
After that he entered as a substitute in Charles City County in the place of Henry Finch, under the Command of Capt. Major Wilcox under whom he continued to serve to the end of the war, how long the different tours were he does not recollect but is very certain that he was in Actual service, more than two years, during this period he held himself always ready to march when ordered or to enter as a substitute, he was quartered at various places during the several tours viz Sandy Point & Barretts Ferry in Charles City, Little York Hampton etc he does not recollect the various Regiments he was attached to but remembers that he was under General Nelson Col. Innes Col. Pleasants Col. Holt Richardson and many others whose names he does not now recollect in the various

Thus he served the full term and in every case was honorably discharged he was in no Battle and only one skirmish when they took a flatbottom Boat in Charles City County, during the siege of York Town he knows of but one person, and that is Samuel Warner by whom he can prove his services. The reason why he has not applied for a pension before this was that he was under the impression that he had lost all his discharges until very recently he had the good fortune to find the two hereby annexed he hereby relinquishes every claim what ever to a pension or annuity except the present and declares that his name is not on the pension roll of the agency of any state
