The State of Indiana } Franklin County } 3 d Sect. On this 19 th day of September A.D. 1827 personally appeared in open Court being the Franklin Circuit Court for the County aforesaid being a court of record within the State aforesaid. Michael Tullis aged about

seventy one years a resident of the County aforesaid, who being duly sworn according to law doth on his oath make the following declaration in order to ob- tain the provisions made by the acts of Congress of the 18 th March 1818 and the 1 st May 1820 That he the said Michael Tullis was born in the State of New Jersey in the month of February 1756 that he enlisted for the term of one year in 1775 in Berkeley County State of Virginia in the Company commanded by Captain Hugh Stinson in the eighth Continental Regiment of Infantry it being a Virginia Regiment in Continental service at that time Commanded as he thinks by Colonel William Darke; that he continued to serve in the said Company and Regiment for the period of one year the term of his enlistment and was then honourably discharged that in the year 1776 he again enlisted in the said 8 th Continental Regiment in the County of Berkeley and State of Virginia under Captain Daniel Culp for three years; that he continued to serve the full period of his enlistment and was then honorably discharged - the last year he served he was with with fifty five others Commanded by Captain Livingston who he thinks was son to the Governor of New Jersey; the Corps he thinks was formed

by the selection of four men from each Regiment for the Life Guard of General Washington. He was discharged at Annapolis receiving an honorable dis- charge. which first cost That he was in the battles of Staten Island of Brandywine and of Germantown; that he had his right arm broken in the service; that he is now living in the County of Franklin and State of Indiana and has for the last seven years that he relinquished his every claim whatever to any pension except the present, that his name is not on the roll of any State except the State of Virginia. The reasons for not making an earlier application for a pension are that he made application at Lebanon in Ohio about eight years ago and was informed he could not obtain a pension because the Rolls in the de- partment of War were destroyed - that his ex- treme indisposition prevented him from making application since that time till the September Term of the Franklin Circuit Court A.D. 1826

I received nothing but grain in payment to the best of my recollection. I have been laboring under the Consumption for some time as I am informed by professional men.

Gentlemen: -
Will you kindly send me a record of the Revolutionary services of the following: Charles Leonard , Jesse Tullis , and Michael Tullis ? The latter served as one of General Washington's bodyguards. Entered, I believe, from Shepherdstown, Va. Did any of the three receive pensions? If so, will you give me the addresses and years during which they received pensions? If you have the date of death, I would appreciate having those, also.
I hope I may have an early reply. Thank you very much.
Yours truly, L. Jeannette Mitchell
