A. Brooks
Presiding Justice of the Magistrate Court I John Young a resident of the County of Greenup and State of Kentucky aged seventy-eight years state that I am the elder child of Reuben and Ann Young I know that my Father Reuben Young was draughted, it was for a particular purpose the time was not specified it was in the fall of seventeen hundred and seventy-seven in the fall of the year I know it was in the fall I scarred the tower and I recollect the men taking sweet potatoes out of the hills where they grew on the farm, he then enlisted in the regular service in seventeen hundred and seventy-eight for and during the war of the revolution from the County of Spottsylvania and State of Virginia and was stationed at Fredericksburg under a

Sergeant to guard the magazine and was kept there until the close of the war I was riding express and was frequently at Fredericksburg it was our head quarters and saw him engaged in the service and saw him get his discharge. The discharge is lost. The militia Tower was only thirty five days which was as long as we was wanted I served under Captain James Groucher and in Colonel George Stubblefield's regiment, his discharge was signed by General George Washington. After the close of the war in the year of seventeen hundred and eighty-seven my Father moved to Kentucky and lived there until he moved to the State of Missouri and lived there eleven years and died in December eighteen hundred and thirty-two I then moved my Mother Ann Young to my house in the County of Greenup Kentucky where she lived a widow until her death which was in eighteen hundred and forty one on the twenty ninth day of July. My Father Reuben Young and Ann Young had eleven children at the time of my Mother's death there was only four of us living. Myself, Joel Young who resides in the County of Woodford Kentucky Lewis Young and Lucy Whorton our sister resides in the State of Missouri I have frequently heard my Father say after he moved to Kentucky that he had not got pay for his services and for the services of his two wagons and pay for the wagons I know that the wagons was pressed into the service as set forth by the administrator in his Declaration and I know that they was lost and the man that drove the wagon to the South claimed his pay for driving the wagon and he had it to pay. If my Father had got pay for the above named items I would have known it I done all of his writing for him for many years after he moved to Kentucky. From the family record that my Father had in his family Bible and from the length of time they said they was married before I was born they was married in the year of seventeen hundred and sixty three. The leaf of my Bible which is attached to this sheet with wafer is a true copy from my Father's family record which he kept in his family Bible drawn off by myself and is in my hand writing which shows that I was born August 24th 1764
N.B. I was at the siege of Little York and saw my Father's wagon and team the horses was given up to the French half to the other +
6001

leannon from James river to York town I applied to the Qua- rtermaster general Timothy Pickering for the horses and he said that the French was compelled to have them as they had no horses to sell their leannon I suppose they was worked to death as they was worked day and night I never saw them after the French used them. My Father was in good circumstances when he entered the service the loss of his time and his property made him poor which he did not recover from during his life as he had a large family to raise. The waggons and team that was lost at Little York was bought by My Father from a man that moved from the State of Pennsylvania it was of better quality of waggons horses and gear than the then was common in Virginia
