(Ret. Case)

State of Tennessee 22 This 22 nd day of April Montgomery County 3 1832 John Wick, aged 76 years, a resident of Montgomery County Personally appeared before the County Court of Montgomery County, now in session, having been first duly sworn according to law, upon his oath, doth make the following decla- ration for the purpose of obtaining the benefit of the act of Congress passed the 7 th of June 1832 That he was born in the County of Brunswick in the State of Virginia on the 12 th of September 1755 as he has been informed by his parents, that he entered the service of the United States as a volunteer in the infantry for twelve months in what was then termed Minute men in a company commanded by Capt Peter Pelham in the year 1777 or 1778. and continued ready for service until near the close of the twelve months when we were regularly discharged, without having been called into actual service or marched out of our county - That shortly after he was drafted in the Militia service under the command of Capt Howell Harris was marched to James River for the purpose of guarding the coast against the incursions of the British and was continued in that service until the expiration of the time for which we had been drafted, but he does not recollect the length of time for which they were drafted - he was then discharged & returned - it was in the fall of 1778 or 1779 - he then continued at home until some short time before the battle of Guilford when he was again drafted as a militia man in the company of Capt John Watson & Peter Rutts his lieutenant in the Regiment commanded by Col. Mumford. That he joined the company & continued with it for some weeks until the Regiment had marched to Great Highco Creek a branch of the Roanoke

about one hundred thirty miles from home he was then taken sick & employed a substitute a man by the name of Atkin to perform the balance of his services as a drafted Militia. He understood that said Atkin did go on & was in the battle of Guilford Court house. He paid the said Atkin the sum of Twenty nine hundred dollars for the services performed by him as his substitute in Continen- tal money - And that he was afterwards again drafted in the Militia for another tour some time before the taking of Cornwallis in a company commanded by Capt Guttidge in the Regiment com- manded by Col David Mason and was then marched to James River not far from Little York and a portion of the Virginia Militia was discharged from service, there being a greater number than was needed. He was discharged among the number before the taking of Cornwallis. He thinks 10 or 12 days before. He is unable to specify the length of time he was in the service but is satisfied that in the years 1778 & 1779 that he served the United States a term of 6 months. He received discharges for the several tours he served and that they were burnt short- ly after the war, when his house and all his papers were accidentally burnt and he knows of no living witness to prove his services. He hereby relinquishes every claim whatsoever to a pension or annuity except the present and declares that his name is not on the pension roll of the of any State.
