The soldier declared in May 1818, that he entered service early in 1776 in David Scott's company of the 9 th Va Regt first commanded by Gen l (Harr or Harn) then by Col Gibson & Col Rich d Campbell - by the latter he was disch d at Pittsburgh in 1778 - as he recollects - Gave discharge to Benj n Biggs - to get 12 mos pay & clothing due him - never got it In April 1821 - declared that on Mar 15 th , 1775 he enlisted at Pittsburgh in the reg t commanded by Gen t Hand. attached to the 9 th Virginia Regiment
June 29, 1832 - declared that in 1775, as well as he recollects,

he enlisted for 3 years in Capt David Scott's company in the 9 th  attached to the 13 th Va Regt, under command of Col Gholson -
After serving about 2 yrs was chosen and com- missioned as Lieut in 8 th Compy - which thereon shortly after was placed under command of Capt Lewis -
Served out balance of time as Lt. & not being able to prove for what term he did enlist, was detained and continued to serve about 3 mos longer - "making the term of service as an Officer about fifteen months ".
The request of White to be put upon the roll as a Lieut. under act of 1832. was refused on the grounds stated in the letter to W.B. Shepard of July 14, 1832. - namely - that in his application under act of 1818 he did not mention being an Officer - and that there were other discrepancies in his statements - and that he did not exhibit a commission or other correspondent evidence.
On renewing the application for increase, recently, it seems to have been assumed that White served in the State Line , as stated by himself; not the Continental and reliance was placed upon an entry of payment of depreciation payment to Mr White,

Lieut. in the State Line amounting to £ 136.
This assumption was greatly resisted in the letter to A. H. Markland, of March 7, 1856, on the ground that it indicated a larger amount of service than that claimed by this W m White to have been performed by him. This letter also states that the rolls of the 9 th & 13 th regiments do not bear the claimants name as serving in the capacity alleged.
On further examination it is found that half pay was allowed to the W m White who was a 2 d Lt in the Va State Line from the year 1781- at $160 per annum until his death in 1811 at which time he continued to reside in Va.
There was, also, another officer named W m White, in the Va Continental Line.
He served in the 5 th Va Cont l - regiment, as shown by its muster rolls and the returns.
Was commissioned 1 st Lt. Sept 28/77. and Captain in same regt Nov 23 rd /79 to rank from July 4, same year.
He lived in Orange Co. Va. died, thereof July 20. 1828 and his arrears were granted to his heirs.
Act 1828- admitted. N o 827.

On examining the rolls of the 7 th Va Cont ts Regt (muster & pay rolls) - part 2 d middle of volume - in which the Capt W m White did not serve - it appears that William White was 2 d Lieut in Capt Joseph Spencer's Company from 1 st August 1777 - until the 1 st of May 1778 - and not before or after and it is entered that he was commissioned April 25 th and May 8 th , 1776 - It is not improbable that these dates represent the time to which his rank commission was made to date back, so as to be contemporary with that of his Capt & 1 st Lt whose commissions were of that date.
Benjamin Briggs was a capt in the 7 th regt - and it was from this circumstance I was induced to look in the 7 th Regt for W m White -
McClanahan was Col & Holt Richardson Lt. Col Commanding portions of this time - John Gibson is stated to have been Col of both the 7 th & 9 th in 1779.
Rich d Campbell was Col of the 13 th in 1778 and took command early in that year -
Such was the confusion in regard to the regiments and the ranks of their officers - so many were the changes and transfers - and there is so

great a discrepancy between the original rolls themselves and the Resolutions of Congress that every attempt at an arrangement of the Va regiments has proved futile.
I have traced the history of the only three persons named Wm White who served in the Va State and Continental Lines. Capt W m White was 1 st Lieut in the 5 th Regt while the late claimant was a 2 d Lt in the 7 th Regt. Virginia claimed Pittsburgh as within her limits. The discrepancies in White's narratives are not so great as those in the documentary history of the times. Of the organization, arrangement, and officering of the Regiments when White first entered the service we know scarcely anything - but we find nothing in what we do know that is repugnant to the substantial verity of White's narrative.
I think, therefore that it is a fair conclusion that White did serve 15 months as Lieut and 9 as private.

Before me John W King Probate Judge in and for the county aforesaid, personally appeared John Sneaker, Administrator of the estate of Hannah White deceased, who states that the said Hannah White was the widow of William White a soldier of the War of the Revolution, who drew a pension under the Act of 1828, at the rate of ninety six dollars per annum, until the day of his death, which took place on the 6th day of January 1840, he was present at his death, closed his eyes, shaved him to a beard, and recorded his death in his, (his affidavit) Bible - And she said Hannah White drew a pension at the same rate until the day of her death which took place on the 23 d day of July 1854, she died at his house, and he recorded her death on the same page in his Bible, as that of her husband.
He states further, that he is advised and believes that the said William White, was intitled to a pension at a higher rate, under the Act of June 7. 1831 - by reason of services rendered during the time of his service, as Lieutenant, or in some capacity different from that of a common soldier - And that his widow Hannah White, was intitled to a higher rate of pension by reason of the same services.
He states that there is now living four of their children, to wit Margaret Sneaker, Lillie Allee, Joseph White and Eliz.

White. And this application and declaration is made for the purpose of obtaining for these surviving children the benefit of any or all Acts of Congress, by which the said William White and his widow Hannah White were entitled to have drawn a pension at a higher rate than they have drawn.
For the services of the said William White he refers to the Records and papers now on file in office at Washington city. For evidence of the marriage and death of the said William White and Hannah White, he refers to the testimony of Anna Mycoff, and James White taken on the 8 th day of January 1856.
And he hereby appoints Absalom H. Markland Esq of Washington city his attorney (who is also the Attorney of a majority of the living children) to prosecute this claim, and he is hereby authorized to use all papers now on file in support of the claim, and to file such other papers as he may deem necessary to its successful prosecution.

Sir,
Enclosed you will find Three affidavits the object of which are to increase William White's Pension from that of a Private to that of a Lieutenant in the army of the Revolution - If the evidence produced for that purpose is sufficient I presume he would be entitled to his full pension as an officer from the time he was first placed on the roll up to the present time deducting the amount received by him as a private - which amount when paid would place him in such circumstances as not to be entitled to the provisions of the pension laws of 1818 & 1820 - It is Mr White's desire in that event that he should be continued on the roll under act of the 7 th June last as a Lieutenant
Respectfully yours &c

Deponent unhesitatingly declares that said wedding occurred at the period above stated, that his belief of the time is based on various circumstances some of which he states as follows; first, that he is confident that said marriage occurred when he deponent was in the 19 th year of his age, and that his knowledge of his own age is based on his record of it, which is a true copy made from the original family record of his father, and that from a boy his mind has been impressed with the fact of his birth having occurred shortly prior to the declaration of independence, and secondly from the fact of his father & his family removing from the county of Allegheny, Maryland in the month of May 1794, when they came to reside in the neighborhood where the said William & Hannah lived and from the fact that the Army was sent out to suppress the whiskey insurrection the same year of said marriage, and from the fact of Gen Waynes Treaty at Greenville having been concluded the summer following said (over)

marriage, also from the fact of Gen. Nevil mansion being destroyed by the Whiskey insurrectionists the same year or summer prior to said marriage.
Deponent further states that the said Hannah White whose maiden name was Hannah Cox is the widow of William White late of said County who was a revolu- tionary pensioner of the United States and that the said Hannah has not again intermarried but still remains the widow of the said William White.
