The date of his enlistment he can not state, but he recollects facts which will enable the department to ascertain the time The first Battle he was in after his en- -listment was at Stone in the state of South Carolina under the command

of Genl. Lincoln, in Col o Armstrongs Vgt it being the 6 th Regt of the North Carolina line on Continental estab- -lishment, then battle took His term of service expired a few days before the Battle of the Eutaw Springs in South Carolina, the American forces were commanded by Genl. Nathaniel Green. - A few days after the battle in which he took part he was dis- -charged by May - McGraw M c Greer who was officer of the day at Bacon Bridges in South Carolina - after he was enlisted by Col o Lamb he was placed under the command of Capt. - Goodman in Lamb's Vgt and remained under him about seven months, when Capt. Goodman's Company with most of Lamb's Vgt were ordered to the South to fill up Col o Armstrongs Vgt ap d of the North Carolina line on Continental Establishment - At the High Hills of Santee his Company commanded by Capt. Goodman joined Col o Armstrongs Vgt and he was

placed in capt. — Portfield? Company in led? Armstrongs Regt. ap. That he faithfully served out his term of service in said Regt. until he was discharged as ap. That he hereby relinquishes every claim whatsoever to a pension except the pursent, that his name is not on the Pension roll of any state whatsoever — He further declares that he was informed that Col. — Lamb. whose given name he believes was Abner or Gideon, belonged to the North Carolina line on Continental establishment: About 1819 as he now believes he made application for a pension in the Whitley Circuit Court ap. which was rejected for what cause he does not know After that he despaired of getting a pension. Hoped to maintain himself, but old age & infirmity admonish him that it is a duty he owes to himself & family to make this application. His discharge he thinks many years

since forwarded to the Secretarys Office for the State of North Car- olina for the purpose of getting his bounty land, that he is in- formed a warrant issued to him for three hundred and odd Acres, in Tyrion that he agreed with a Genl Uleman to give him one third of said land to obtain the warrant survey. The same, the land he never has seen but he is informed by men who has seen it that it is poor & of but little value not exceeding $100. That upon ex- amination of the Clerks office of Whitely Circuit Court ap d neither his original or a copy of the Schedule of said: can be found He expects the same was rejected on account of informality or the want of a minute detail of the facts: And in pursuance of the act of the 1 st May 1820 I do

Solemnly swear that I was a resident citizen of the United States on the 18 March 1818 that I have not since that time by gift sale or in any manner disposed of any property or any part thereof with intent thereby so to diminish it as to bring myself within the provisions of an Act of Congress entitled "An Act to provide for certain Persons engaged in the land & naval service of the United States in the Revolutionary war passed the 18 March 1818 and that I have not nor has any person in trust for me any property or se- curities contracts or debts due me nor have I any income other then what is contained in the following Schedule annexed to my subscribed oath.

Dear Sir.
Daniel Lavig. was a united States pensioner in Whitley county - Kentucky - at $96. per Annum. I am informed - under Act 18 th March 1818 - his heirs say he was a Drun Major - in the Revolutio. Should this turn out to be so - if infancy - should have been $108 per Annum under act 1832 - if he belong to the Cavy it should have been $124.50 - per Annum - he and died in Whitley County Kentucky - on the 5 th fifth day of July 1861 - so his children state left no widow - but some children - from these States I am inclined to think an increase of pension is due his children - under act 1828 - or 1832 -
I am requested by his children to enquire into their claim - & if any thing be due - to recover it.
You will very much oblige his children - to examine the application or file of Mr. Lavig. and advise me the amount due per Annum under the above mentioned act or acts - and the proper act to apply under - I infer that he served over two years as Drun Major - his advertisement will tell the desired information well

be thankfully received.
I am Dear Sir Your Obedt. Servant
