Dula. Hiny ysho

Owing to the remote residence of Henry Yoho on the hills of Fishing Creek, Mr. Singleton has not had an opportunity of examining him; and he having, at much inconvenience to himself traveled hither and this day appeared before me and Mr. Singleton being at his residence in Winchester, I have examined Yoho and the following is the substance of his statement. I have not seen his original declaration; nor have I inquired of him what it contains. From a comparison of that and the present statement the truth may be ascertained.
The said Henry, having been duly sworn saith, that he was born in Virginia about 18 miles from Winchester, but don't know in what year: he is now in his 85 year. His father's family removed to Western Virginia when applicant was eleven years old, and he has resided there ever since. That he commenced his service in the war of the revolution as a private in the company commanded by Lieutenant Samuel Singer who was stationed on Whitley Creek, now County of Monongalia, at the house of a settler named Duncan. The company was composed of 18 persons some of whom had been drafted, and the others volunteered. Applicant was of the latter. After remaining a few days at Duncans, the company were marched to Garrett's fort on Whitley, and remained there one month doing duty, when they were discharged, and their places supplied by new recruits. The next year applicant volunteered under Capt. Crops and was marched to Pittsburgh. While at that place, intelligence was received of the massacre of Capt. Foreman and the greater portion of his command at Grave Creek narrows, 10 miles below Wheeling; thither Capt. Crops took up his march, and on his arrival buried 22 of Capt. Foreman's command, and thereupon returned to Wheeling and

14 There continued doing service one month when he was discharged having served in this tour 4 months. The Spring following applicant enlisted under Lieutenant Singleton for 8 months, served 2 months, when he was permitted by Singleton to join Capt. McWhetzel's company of Spies, and served therein 3 months. The country they reconnoitered was between Whitefield and the Ohio river near Wheeling, thence to the mouth of Middle Island thence to the by the way of Fish and Fishing Creek to Whitefield. The fall following applicant again volunteered under Capt. Crops and joined McIntosh and served in his campaign against the Indians. Forts McIntosh on the Ohio river at Big Beaver and Fort Lawrence on Tuscarawara were erected during this expedition. Applicant served 4 months on this trip and was discharged on the return of the army to Fort McIntosh. Applicant next volunteered in the expedition set on foot by Capt. Clark for New Orleans. The troops and wounded at Pittsburgh, and were, for a short time, stationed on Mendenhall Island below Pittsburgh, thence they were ordered to Wheeling; and while at the latter place applicant and 29 others were detached as a company of hunters to Kenhawa under the command of a captain whose name is not recollected. On arriving at Kenhawa Lewis Whetzel and applicant were sent out to spy the neighborhood, on their return to camp the next day, the whole command had left, Capt. Clark having, in the mean time come on with his command. Applicant and Whetzel thereupon commenced their march up the Ohio, expecting to meet Capt. Longher whose company consisted of 60 men and to join them. A few days after applicant and his companion were informed that Capt. Longher having landed his boat at the call of a perfidious white man, the numerous force of Indians being in ambush rose upon the whites and massacred all of them excepting four privates,

14 2 10.
Whom they made prisoners of. Affiant and Whitbyal then left the river and journeyed to Larsetts fort on White Sulphur. Affiant was about on this expedition 2 months.

Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War records of Henry and Peter Yoho of West Virginia.
Revolutionary War data furnished by this office are obtained from claims for pension and bounty land, which have been made to the United States, based upon service in that war.
A search of the records fails to show such claims on file on account of the Revolutionary War service of Peter Yoho.
The data furnished herein were obtained from pension claim, S. 7996, based upon the Revolutionary War service of Henry Yoho.
Henry Yoho was born in the State of Virginia, about eighteen miles from Winchester, date of birth not given, nor are the names of his parents stated. He moved, when about eleven years old, with his "father's family" to Western Virginia, and was residing there during the Revolution.
He enlisted in 1776, and served two months as private under Lieutenant Samuel Swingler of Singler, stationed at a fort on Whitely Creek. He served from sometime in June, 1777, four months under Captains John Minor and Cross in Colonel Gibson 's Virginia

regiment, marched to Fort Pitt and down the Ohio River to the mouth of Wheeling Creek in pursuit of Indians. He served in 1778, two months under Lieutenant Swingler, three months in Captain John Whitzel's company of Spies, and from sometime in the fall of 1778, six months in Captain Cross' company, Colonel John Evans' regiment, was in McIntosh's Expedition to Big Beaver on the Ohio River, and assisted in building Forts McIntosh and Laurens. He served from sometime in July, 1779 under Lieutenant Jacob Cline in Colonel Laughlin's regiment in General Clark's Expedition to the Falls of the Ohio, length of service eighteen months, during which he was out in many scouting parties against the Indians. He served in 1781, two months and was stationed at Mason's Fort on Buffalo Creek, and in a skirmish with the Indians, was wounded in the knee. life, no name of officers given.
The soldier, Henry Yoho, was allowed pension on his application executed, September 25, 1832, at which time he was about eighty years of age and a resident of Monongalia County, Virginia. He was living in 1835 in Tyler County, Virginia, and in 1836 had moved to Marshall County, Virginia.
The papers in this claim contain no reference to his family.

Sir,
Upon my return home after an absence of some weeks, I received your letter of 22 nd ult. — Mr. Goff was travelling in the stage, or he would have gone to see Burden, and I am satisfied could you see him your opinion would be changed in five minutes — Burden is too ignorant, to fabricate, but even if it were otherwise you have the testimony of William Hall, which is clear and decided — it is the last time I shall trouble you or call your attention to his case, but I assure you that I believe, if a man in Virginia is entitled, John Burden is — I read your letter to Evan Morgan, and he replied, that he would write you, as soon as he was able, being now much indisposed. Mr. Goff informed me, that he would give you the character of Hall —
George Keller has been so unwell during the spring, that he could not travel, but on yesterday he brought me your letter of 8 th April, which I had sent to him — I examined him very particularly, and find that his statement is given very satisfactory except as to the years. This must be gathered from him by events, such as his age, when first going into the service, Arnold's being in Virginia, Cornwallis' surrender of — He says, that he volunteered in Augusta V a with many others for five years, to march whenever called upon, to operate in Virginia or Carolina — and that all his services, were in this company of rifle-men, but commanded by different officers — That his first major — Whiteman, proved his services at Camp Carson, about 20 miles below  at York town Portsmouth & below Suffolk V a and that John & Wm Pogue, sons of John Pogue of Augusta, were with him at these two places — he has understood, that they moved to Kentucky — if either of these have applied for pensions a reference to them would satisfy you —
I believe you have not in any of your letters, referred to the case of Henry Yoho, supposing that it has escaped your notice, I have taken his power of attorney which I now enclose you. If the agent has instructions to pay it, please to en-

close it to Mr. Robinson, the cashier of the Bank of V o the att n in fact - V o who has just recovered from a long illness, and day before yesterday, is the first time I have seen him since last fall -
I have also examined the case of Amos Morris, he states, that in June 1778 a draft was made, to go a six months tour under Genl. McIntosh - that in that month he was sent express by the officers to fort Pitt, brought back letters from the Genl. that he marched out to where fort Lawrence was built on the Tuscarora's & there enlisted for one year under Capt. Clarke, and was discharged at the end of the year at fort Pitt - that he also served as a scout & spy - I have no doubt, that his statement is true, and he says Mr. Singleton expressed his opinion, that the statement he gave was clear & satisfactory

As the Act of 7: June 1832, provides for actual service in a military corps duly embodied and subjected to military discipline in the field or garrison, it is desirable that he should state the probable number of the corps, and the names of the officers present and in command.
I have the honor to be, Very respectfully, J. L. Edwards
Judge Alexander Caldwel, Whiting, Virginia.

I enclose you the declaration of Henry Yoho, at his request - this is the man so celebrated in our border wars, and probably no man except Whetzel encountered so many hardships and run so many risks of life - he is the most sprightly man of his age, that I ever saw - the court and a crowded audience were held in perfect silence at the narration of his "soldier days" - An answer directed to him here will be very acceptable, for like most of his fellows, he is very poor, and I understand lives from house to house.
I am Your ob. serv.
