Williamson on the day of in the year 1777 in the thirteenth year of my age. Applicant enlisted for three years, under the command of Capt John Booe commander of the 2 d independent Company as it was at that time called, and was not attached to any regular Regiment, Myself with a certain Laurens Moore was ordered to Charleston S c Carolina to Col. Dugger Regiment in order to learn Mr. Moore to Beat the drum & myself to play the fife, We remained at Charles- =tw

and on the Island near there for six months to learn to play the fife as aforesaid we were at that place put under the command of Col Capt Conyer. When the six months had expired we obtained per- mission for Moore & myself to go to Charleston 3 miles or thereabouts from the Island, we went as we were walking up Street we met Capt Boice our old Captain we solicited Mr Capt Conyer & Col Dugger of the 5 th Regiment on the Island for us to bring him & sent me back to the Island for that purpose I obtained the orders to bring my old Capt Boice, & done so, I played the fife & was a musician during the three years of my Service. Capt Boice remained with us some days in Charleston in order to ob- tain some Clothing for the Company. We were then March to Fort Independence in Abbeville County, now but at that time in 9 th District on Rocky River. Application does not nor can he at this time recollect the various dates of the precise time that he was marched from place to place, nor does he recollect how long he remained at Fort Independence however, we were then marched through the State of Georgia to the Cherokee Nation to a place called the Standing Stone Tree or near to that place we were then alternately Marched through the upper part of Caro- lina & Georgia for some time —

Some times we were under the command of General Williamson a Militia Genl but most commonly we had no officer of a higher grade than our Captain John Boice. Fort Indep- endence being the head quarters we were marched to that Place again on the day of in the year
We were marched to the State of Georgia to Augusta a ferry at New Richmond the next down opposite to Augusta the British at that time was in possession of the Town, we were Stationed on the opposite side of the River where we threw up a Battery, no officer higher in command than Captains there were a part of the Companies one Capt Martins Com: a Militia man the others were at Fort they called independent S. He remained there until the British evacuated Augusta we were then marched through the Town & on down to Bear Creek & joined Genl Lincoln or rather below the Creek. He after remaining under the command of the Genl & marching through the State of Georgia and Carolina we left him & were marched back to Fort Independence in the State of South Carolina & remained there some time & then early in the Spring of I cannot recollect the date of the year - Joined Genl Lincoln & was marched through

the Country until the Battle of Stono in the State of Carolina When I was marched to that Place & was in the Battle at that place under the Command of Maj Sub Lincoln after the Battle we were marched to Governor Bull Country seat under the Command of our Captain Boone we remained there some time & was sent back to fort Independence . we remained there some time guarding the frontiers & in November we were marched to Savannah in the State of Georgia and was in the Battle at that Place the siege at that Place continued 3 weeks the British at that Place keep their stand we lost hundreds of men & were defea- -ted. we were then marched back to fort Independence to guard the frontiers and after Skirmishing about there some time we were ordered back to the Cherokee Nation under the Command of Lieut Wil- iamson in search of a British agent by the name of Cameron we found him in the Nation but he fled & made his escape

we were then marched back to Fort Independence remained there some time & were marched back to Augusta again under the command of Capt Booe & Capt Luck and Neil Williamson was with us also but had no Regiment but our three indep- endant Companies; when we arrived at Augusta we remained there some time to guard the place & hunt the Villians & Tories that were raiding through the Sand Hills S.C. we remained there until after the fall of Char- leston & were then marched back to White Hall where we were enlisted now called Abbyville County we then gave up our arms & went to place called Cow head & took protection, we however at this time discharged & were not to fight any again for a year and a day. I was got from Capt John Booe a written disch- arge that discharge I have lost. The above time of three years I was constantly & incessantly in Service. I was discharged in July 1780 to the best of my recollection.
I then in the Spring of 1781 volunteered under the command of Capt Bushelo a French officer - man Regiment of Col Andrew in the State of South Carolina - we then were scuttling about between the Savannah and Saluda River - until the siege of Ninety six

in the year                      in the Spring of that year we were marched to Ninety Six & joined Genl Green & Genl Pickens I belonged to Col Andersons Regiment & Commanded by Genl Pickens & was in the Siege of Ninety Six. Lord Rhoden Came up a British man and Genl Green That it most prudent to give back & done so. Genl Pickens Covered Genl Greens re- -eat & Marches to Congaree River and stopped Col Andersons place - As we had come down from Ninety Six to that place we had captured some prisoners Capt Bushels was then ordered to take 11 men & march & guard them to Camden about 30 miles distance to Col Ander- =sons. Col A. then heard that some Tories were coming down the River and ordered us to Scout about & see what information we could obtain we found nothing of impor- -tance. Col Anderson then ordered Capt Bushels & his men to guard some empty Waggons down to Genl Greens meadow so he was Stationed not far from the Winton Springs. We were then March back to Abbeville County & put again under the Command of Col. Anderson & Genl Pickens and was Commanded by them until the close of the war. Some time in the year 1782. To the best of my knowledge I had for this last term of two years an honorable discharge.

The first three years which I was in the service I was a fifer and enlisted and had a written discharge. The last seven years I was a volunteer and served faithfully but recd no discharge in writing. I have no documentary evidence whereby I can in any manner authenticate this declaration.
By the Certificate subjoined of Thomas Sealy the dep- artment will see I can authenticate substantially my declaration, I refer them to his certificate.
I hereby relinquish every claim whatever to a pension or annuity except the present, and declare that my name is not on the pension roll of any agency of any State.

REGULATIONS UNDER THE ACT OF JUNE 7, 1832.
The following regulations have been adopted:
This law has been construed to extend, as well to the line, as to every branch of the Staff of the Army, and to include under the terms "Continental Line," "State troops," "militia," and "volunteers," all persons enlisted, drafted, or who volunteered and who were bound to military service, but not those who were occasionally employed with the army upon civil contracts, such as Clerks to Commissaries and to Store Keepers, &c. Teamsters, Boatmen, &c. Persons who served on board of Private Armed Vessels are also excluded from the benefits of the law, as well as persons who turned out as patrols, or were engaged in guarding particular places at night, and were not recognized as being in actual military service.
Four general classes of cases are embraced in this law:
 1. The Regular Troops.  2. The State Troops, Militia, and Volunteers.  3. Persons employed in the Naval service.  4. Indian Spies. 
As rolls of the regular troops in the Revolutionary War exist in this Department, all persons, claiming the benefit of this law as officers, non-commissioned officers, musicians or privates, will in the first instance, make application by transmitting the following declaration, which will be made before a Court of Record of the County where such applicant resides. And every Court having by law a seal and Clerk is considered a Court of Record.

[This form is to be varied so as to apply to the cases of officers and persons who belonged to the militia, volunteers, navy, &c.]
He hereby relinquishes every claim (f) whatever to a pension or an annuity, except the present, and he declares that his name is not on the Pension Roll of any Agency in any State, or (if any) only on that of the Agency in the State of _____
Sworn to and subscribed the day and year aforesaid.
A. B.
[And then will follow the certificate of the Court.]
And the said Court do hereby declare their opinion (g) that the above named applicant was a revolutionary soldier, and served as he states.
I _____ of the Court of _____ do hereby certify (h) that the foregoing contains the original proceedings of the said Court in the matter of the application of _____ for a pension.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal of office (i) this _____ day of _____ &c.
If, on examination of the proper record the names of applicants, making such declaration, cannot be found, they will produce such proof as the rule given in note (j) points out.
Every applicant who claims a pension by virtue of service in the State Troops, Volunteers or Militia, except those who belonged to the New Hampshire Militia and State Troops of Virginia, will make and subscribe a declaration similar to the foregoing, with the following additions, viz:
(k) We, A. B., a Clergyman, residing in the _____ and C. D. residing in (the same) _____, who has hereby certify, that we are well acquainted with _____, who has subscribed and sworn to the above declaration; that we believe him to be _____ years of age; that he is reputed and believed, in the neighborhood where he resides, to have been a soldier of the Revolution, and that we concur in that opinion.
Sworn and subscribed the day and year aforesaid.
[And then will follow the certificate of the Court.]
And the said Court do hereby declare their opinion, after the investigation of the matter, and after putting the interrogatories prescribed by the War Department, that the above named applicant was a Revolutionary Soldier, and served as he states. And the Court further certifies, that it appears to them that A. B. who has signed the preceding certificate is a clergyman, resident in the _____
and that C. D., who has also signed the same is a resident in the _____ and is a credible person, and that their statement is entitled to credit.
I, _____ Clerk of the Court of _____ do hereby certify that the foregoing contains the original proceedings of the said Court, in the matter of the application of _____ for a pension.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and seal of office, this _____ day of _____ &c.
Every applicant will produce the best proof in his power. This is the original discharge or commission; but if neither of these can be obtained, the party will so state under oath, and will then procure, if possible, the testimony of at least one credible witness, stating in detail his personal knowledge of the services of the applicant, and such circumstances connected therewith, as may have a tendency to throw light upon the transaction.
If such surviving witness cannot be found, the applicant will so state in his declaration (l) and he will also, whether he produce such evidence or not, proceed to relate all the material facts, which can be useful in the investigation of his claim, and in the comparison of his narrative with the events of the period of his alleged service, as they are known at the Department. A very full account of the services of each person

will be indispensable to a favorable action upon his case. The facts stated will afford one of the principal means of corroborating the declaration of the applicant, if true, or of detecting the imposition, if one be attempted; and unless, therefore, these are amply and clearly set forth, no favorable decision can be expected. All applicants will appear before some Court of Record in the County, in which they reside, and there subscribe and be sworn to, one of the declarations above provided, according to the nature of his case.
The Court will propound the following (m) interrogatories to all applicants for a pension, on account of service in the Militia, State troops; or Volunteers, except the Militia of New Hampshire and the State troops of Virginia.
 1. Where and in what year were you born?  2. Have you any record of your age, and if so, where is it?  3. Where were you living when called into service; where have you lived since the Revolutionary war, and where do you now live?  4. How were you called into service; were you drafted, did you volunteer, or were you a substitute? And if a substitute, for whom?  5. State the names of some of the Regular Officers, who were with the troops, where you served; such Continental and Militia Regiments as you can recollect, and the general circumstances of your services.  6. { To a Soldier. } Did you ever receive a discharge from the service, and if so, by whom was it given and what has become of it? { To an Officer. } Did you ever receive a commission, and if so, by whom was it signed, and what has become of it?  7. State the names of persons to whom you are known in your present neighborhood, and who can testify as to your character for veracity, and their belief of your services as a soldier of the Revolution. 
The Court will see that the answers to these questions are embodied in the declaration, and they are requested to annex their opinions of the truth of the statement of the applicant.
The applicant will further produce in Court, if the same can be done, in the opinion of the Court, without too much expense and inconvenience to him, two respectable persons -one of whom should be the nearest clergyman, if one lives in the immediate vicinity of such applicant, who can testify, from their acquaintance with him, that they believe he is of the age he represents, and that he is reputed and believed in the neighborhood to have been a Revolutionary soldier, and that they concur in that opinion. If one of these persons is a Clergyman, the Court will so certify, and they will also certify, to the character and standing of other persons, giving such certificates.
The traditional evidence of service is deemed very important, in the absence of any direct proof, except the declaration of the party. And the Courts are requested to be very particular in the enquiry whether the belief is general, and whether any doubts have ever existed upon the subject.
Applicants unable to appear in Court by reason of bodily infirmity, may make the declaration before required, and submit to the examination, before a Judge or Justice of a Court of Record of the proper county, and the Judge or Justice will execute the duties, which the Court is herein requested to perform, and will also certify that the applicant cannot, from bodily infirmity, attend the Court.
Whenever any official act is required to be done by a Judge or Justice of a Court of Record, or by a Justice of the peace, the certificate of the Secretary of State or Territory, or of the proper Clerk of the Court or County, under his seal of office, will be annexed, stating that such person is a Judge or Justice of a Court of Record, or a Justice of the Peace, and that the signature annexed is his genuine signature.
No payments can be made on account of the services of any person, who may have died before the taking effect of the act of June 7, 1832; and in case of death subsequent thereto, and before the declaration herein required is made, the parties interested will transmit such evidence as they can procure, taken and authenticated before a Court of Record, showing the services of the deceased, the period of his death, the opinion of the neighborhood respecting such services, the title of the claimant, and the opinion of the Court upon the whole matter.
[a] The declarant must appear in open Court, unless prevented from doing so by reason of bodily infirmity; in which case the declarant will follow the rule laid down for his guide.
[b] The declarant must make his declaration in the county where he resides. If he should fail to do so, he must assign a sufficient reason for not conforming to the rule.
[c] The age of the claimant must invariably be mentioned.
[d] The declarant must mention the period or periods of the war when he served.
[e] Every continental officer or soldier must give the name of the Colonel under whom he served; otherwise a satisfactory examination of the claim cannot be had. Every claimant must state, with precision, the length of his service, and the different grades in which he served, in language so definite as to enable the Department to determine to what amount of pension he is entitled. In a case where the applicant cannot, by reason of the loss of memory, state precisely how long he served, he should amend his declaration by making an affidavit in the following words:
"Personally appeared before me, the undersigned, a Justice of the Peace, &c. A. B. who, being duly sworn, deposeth and saith, that, by reason of old age, and the consequent loss of memory, he cannot swear positively as to the precise length of his service; but, according to the best of his recollection, he served not less than the periods mentioned below, and in the following grades:—For _____ year _____ months, and _____ days, I served as a _____. For _____ months and _____ days, I served as a _____; and for such service I claim a pension."
It is important, in all cases, to determine with precision the period for which each applicant served, and the particular rank he held, as the law directs the pension to be paid according to the grade of the pensioner and the length of his service. The use of the phrase about three or four months , is too indefinite, and all such qualifying expressions are objectionable. Some persons who apply for pensions merely state that they served two years in the militia, &c. without specifying the tours, the names of the officers, and other particulars respecting their service. This form of a declaration is highly objectionable. It must, in every case, be clearly shown under what officers the applicant served; the duration of each term of engagement; the particular place or places where the service was performed; that the applicant served with an embodied corps called into service by competent authority; that he was either in the field or in garrison; and for the time during which the service was performed, he was not employed in any civil pursuit.
[f] The law makes the relinquishment indispensable.
[g] The opinion of the Court is always required.
[h] The Clerk must give his certificate in every case.
[i] The Clerk must affix his seal, and if it has no device or inscription by which it can be distinguished from any other seal, or if he has no public seal of office, the certificate of a Member of Congress, proving the official character and signature of the certifying officer, should accompany the papers.
Mode of authenticating papers.
In every instance where the certificate of the certifying officer who authenticates the papers is not written on the same sheet of paper which contains the affidavit, or other papers authenticated, the certificate must be attached thereto by a piece of tape or narrow ribbon, the ends of which must pass under the seal of office of the certifying officer, so as to prevent any paper from being improperly attached to the certificate.
Proof of Service.
[j] In a case where the name of the applicant is not found on the records of the Department, he must prove his service by two credible witnesses, who are required to set forth in their affidavits the time of the claimant's entering the service, and the time and manner of his leaving the same, as well as the regiment, company, and line to which he belonged. The magistrate who may administer the oaths must certify to the credibility of the witnesses, and the official character and signature of the magistrate must be certified by the proper officer, under his seal of office.
[k] The notes from [a] to [e] are all equally applicable to the cases of Militia men, Volunteers and State Troops. The proof required by rule in note [j] applies to continental troops only.
[l] This traditional evidence is indispensable in militia cases.
[m] If a witness cannot be found, the declarant must state the fact.
[n] The answers to the interrogatories must all be written, and sent to the War Department, with the declaration.

From the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim S. 6273, it appears that Magnus Tullock was born in Kirkwell, Scotland, no date given.

We enlisted in Abbeville County, South Carolina, in 1777 and served three years as a fifer in Captain John Bowie's Company, Colonel Huger's South Carolina Regiment, and was in the battles of Stono and Savannah. We enlisted April 1, 1781 and served eighteen months as a private in Captain Bushelo's Company, Colonel Anderson's South Carolina Regiment and was in the Siege of Ninety-six.
He was allowed pension on his application executed December 25, 1832, at which time he was residing in Blount County, Tennessee and was aged sixty-eight years.

Pension Claim of Magnus Tullock of Blount County Tenn
Magnus Tullock
21949

The State of Tennessee } Blount County } for
Be it known, that on this 4 th day of June A.D. 1833. Personally appeared before me, William Tool one of the acting Justices of the peace for Blount County, Magnus Tallock aged sixty eight or nine years. Who being first duly sworn according to Law doth, on his oath, make the following amended alibi declaration (amending the one made and dated the 25 th December 1832. - forwarded to, and returned from the War Department - numbered in the office of pensions 21.949 for amendment) in order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress passed June 1 th 1832.
This the amendment of the application of Magnus Tallock (amending the one of date 25 th Dec. and returned N o 21949.) shows that he was born as stated in his original declaration in North of Scotland in Kirkmelle - but he cannot recollect the year he, having no record of his age.
Deeming it unimportant to say any more in regard to his form of regular service of 3 years, as there appears to be no objection thereto, he proceeds immediately to correct the mistake with regard to the the form of his services as a volunteer in the years '81 and '82. He states it was clearly a mistake that it was but for 18 months, to wit, that he volunteered 1 st of April 1781. and served continually, and was engaged in no civic pursuit whatever until September the last

of September 1982. Making precisely Eighteen months the statement of its being two years, was an unintentional mistake made by the Attorney, who drew the declaration; and that he was misled by the statement made by Mr Tho s Lapsly, whose certificate appears to the original recitation; that the mistake also exists in the said Certificate; that it was Mr Lapsly himself, who served the two years but that he served one tour of 5 months, which this affidavit does not. The Certificate of Mr Lapsly to correct this mistake can not now be had, as he resides 50. miles from this place in McMinn County and is old and infirm so much so that he can not now be procured to testify in this County.
He refers the attachment to his original declaration for the nature of his service as a private soldier. He swears positively that he served as a regular for 3 years, as a piper; and for 18 months in the militia in the as a private. As to the persons in his present neighborhood who can testify to his character a man of veracity, and to his services as at a Ball during the revolution he can state, John Caldwell, Wm Williamson Esqr., Saul Thompson, Esqr., William Armstrong, Miles Cunningham, Saul McLean, Robert Hamill, Saul McLogan Jr., and Saul Logan Jr., Jeremiah K. Rogers & Parson.
