Attorney C. H. Barkley Louisville Kentucky

Wardin County Kentucky Feb
I learned that of said County aged from my last information from 72 to 74 years make the following statement. I am the widow of Augustine Webb deceased who died in Bullitt County Kentucky on (or about) the 23rd day of February 1855 (eighteen hundred and thirty five) and who at the time of his death was a Resident and pensioner of the United States and the Kentucky State at the rate of $60 per year. I have never married again since the death of said Augustine Webb but I am still his widow. I was married to said Augustine Webb in Shelby County Kentucky about 50 or 51 years ago in the month of September as well as I now remember about from the 5th to 10th of the month by one of our local preachers and my name before said marriage was Frances Clance. The proof of our marriage I refer to the certificate filed with my application for the pension of the County Land Office of March 3rd 1855.

After the death of said Augustus Webb I draw the amount of pension due him up to the time of his death.
I have heretofore applied for a pension as the widow of said Augustus Webb under the Act of March 3rd 1855.
I make this declaration for the purpose of renewing said application and hereby with full power of substitu- tion appoint C. H. Barclay of Louisville Kentucky my true and lawful attorney for me and in my name to do all lawful acts and deeds in this behalf. Witness my name and seal in Hardin County Kentucky on this 20 th day of June 1855!

State of Kentucky Bullitt County
On the 15 th day of October 1832 Personally appeared in open Court before the Justices of Bullitt County now sitting Augustus Webb a resident of Bullitt County in the State of Kentucky aged seventy seven 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 7 th 1832 That he entered the Service of the United States under the follow- ing named Officers and served as herein stated. There was a Company of Militia raised in Albemarle County Virginia under the Command of Capt Lewis which was styled & called Minute men and in the year 1775 or 1776 as well as, he now recollects said Company with others were ordered to march under the Command of Col o Andrew Lewis against Gov- ernor Dunmore who was with his Ship King at Revillon's Island. One John Claxton who was first Sergeant of Capt Lewis's Company was unable to leave home and I went out as his Substitute & received the appointment of first Sergeant. We marched to Revillon's Island (distant from Albemarle County about Eighty or ninety miles) and on our arrival Governor Dunmore went on Board of his Vessels & Sailed off. and we returned home and shortly afterwards the said Company with others was ordered to march under the Com- mand of Col o William Christian against the Cherokee Indians. We commenced our march thro' by Nolton, French Broad & etc got within a short distance of the Indian Towns and were met by a party of Indians who sued

For peace and rest. Christian held a Council with them after which we returned home & were discharged. He served between Seven & Eight months in the Expeditions against Dunmore and the Cherokee Indians. Some time after his return home he moved to Botetourt County Virginia and in the month of October in the year 1781 at a muster of the Militia of said County Col o . Skillern of said Militia urged the men to volunteer their services to go to Carolina to aid Generals Greene & Morgan in the defence of the Country, and Captain Robertson & Leatherdale and myself volunteered, the said Robertson as Capt h Leatherdale as Lieutenant myself as Ensign. We immediately raised a Company and were placed under the Command of Col o David Campbell and ordered on to Carolina. We started commenced our march in the 2 nd month of October & marched to Salisbury where we stopped a short time to draw provisions - from there we marched to a place called the Cowpens & joined General Daniel Morgan just before the Battle Com- menced with the British Troops under Tarleton and I was in said Battle called the Battle of the Cowpens in which the British were defeated. After the Battle General Skethane Greene who was Commander in Chief in the South directed General Morgan to send an Express to General William Campbell on the Holston directing General Campbell to send him some Soldiers and I was appointed to carry the despatches. I received them in the pack of my Saddle but on my route to Holston I was taken Prisoner by the Tories & condemned to be hanged. I was kept tied & guarded for two days & one night but I made my Escape & carried my despatches safe to Genl Campbell. He sent a Company of Soldiers

with me back to the Army. During my absence on this duty my Company had been discharged & I returned home and on my return to the Army I was discharged by order by order of General Morgan and I arrived at home on the 15 th day of April 1782. - I have no documentary evidence in my possession proving my services to my Country and I know of no person in Kentucky who can prove it and I am too old infirm & poor to travel to Virginia in search of proof. - I hereby relinquish my 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. In answer to the Interrogatories propounded by the Court I answer to the 1 st I was born in Hanover County in the state of Virginia on the 29 th day of August 1755. To the 2 d I answer that when I served my time of duty against Governor Dun- more & the Cherokee Indians I lived in Albemarle County Virginia, when I entered the service to go to Carolina I lived in Botetourt County Virginia. In the year 1782 I came to Ken- tucky & settled in Fayette County and I now reside in Bullitt County Kentucky. To the 2 d Interrogatory I answer that I have no record of my age and only know it from information how heretofore derived from my father. To the 4 th I answer that when I first went into service I served as a substitute for John Clarkson. When I entered the service in Botet- ourt County I volunteered. To the 5 th I answer that General Stalk Greene, General Daniel Morgan & Col. _____ were with the troops when I last served. I do not recollect any of the Conti- nental or militia regiments except the regiments to which I belonged commanded by Col. David Campbell. There were some regular troops near Greenup Island but I do not recollect the names of the officers or regiments. On the Expedition against the Cherokee Indians there were no

Regular Officers or Continental Regiment - I have already stated the general Circumstances of my Service. To the 6 th I answer That I never received any written discharge from the Service I was appointed Ensign in Capt. Robertson's Company by Col. Skillern but received no written Commission from any one. To the 7 th I state that I am known to S rs Milton Mathaniel P. Saunders & Col. Bozard of my neighbourhood who can testify as to my character for veracity & good behaviour but there is no Clergyman residing in my neighbourhood. If I were able to travel to the Counties of Fayette, Clarke & Shelby in the state (Kentucky) I could procure the testimony of many persons as to my veracity & good behaviour but I am too infirm & poor to do it. Sworn & Subscribed to the day & year aforesaid

Supplemental
I Francis Webb of Hardin County Kentucky State the following as a Supplement to a declaration which I made recently claiming some Land under Act March 3rd 1855 as the widow of Augustus Webb deceased late of Bullitt County Kentucky, a war pensioner of the United States on the New-Trotsky Agency at the sum of $100. a year
"In that declaration his name is called Augustus instead of Augustine Webb which was a mistake in the writer of it. I am also informed that there is a discrepancy in the date of our marriage as herein stated and the record of it as it is found in Shelby County Kentucky the county in which we were married and also in the name of the preacher who married us. The mistake in dates was caused by misremembrance as I have no family record of it. My recollection is that the name of the preacher was William Collins , and if I should Joseph in former declaration it was from talking I suppose of his having a son named Joseph Collins who was also a preacher. I have no present recollection of Joseph Collins

being at our wedding but if the records showed that it was Joseph that married us I would of course have to acknowledge myself mistaken — I do not know my age exactly, I was informed for years ago by an Elder Sister that I was then 71 years old — My recollection is that I was about 23 when I was married but I may be as much as 74 now
