On this 17 th day of October in the Year of Our Lord one thousand Eight Hundred and thirty two, personally appeared before Josiah S. Evans one of the Judges of the Court of Common Pleas in and for the District of Orangeburg now sitting. Joseph Winningham a resident of Orange Parish in the District and State aforesaid, in his sworn Vear of his age, who being first duly sworn according to Law, doth, on his oath, make the following declaration, in order to obtain the benefit of the Act of Congress, passed June 7. 1832. That he entered the service of the United States, under the following named Officers, and served as herein stated. He was born on the Eight day of January, in the Year one thousand Seven Hundred and sixty three, in St. Johns Parish Colliton District, & when eight or nine Years of age his Father moved with him into St. Matthews, District of Orangeburg & State aforesaid, & in this District he has remained ever since. In the spring one thousand seven hundred & eighty one he enlisted in the service of his Country for ten months, under Captain William Reid, in a Regiment commanded by Col. Charles S. Middleton; in a Brigade commanded by Genl. Thomas Sumpter. The first affair in which he was engaged with the British, happened with a party on their way to relieve their Garrison at Ninety six. Sometime after this he was engaged in a chase of the British from Biggin Church to a place called Quinben, where a warm combat of ten or fifteen minutes ensued. The next serious business in which he acted was at the battle at the Eutaw Springs. He was in an engagement with a party of the British, from near Williams Branch, down to the old field by the Eutaw Springs, in which the Artillery, Col Washington, & Col Lee's Infantry & Genl. Sumpter's Infantry, to which he belonged, were engaged with the British eight or ten minutes before Genl. Green with his Pennsylvanians, Marylanders, Virginians & N. Carolinians joined them. This was on the eighth Sep. 1781, when he lacked 4 months of being nineteen Years of age. The company to which he was attached, was placed on the left wing of the army, the Artillery in the road, then Washington & Lee's Infantry & next Genl. Green's army, & Genl. Marion's men occupied on the right. Captain Reid resigned & Capt. Reid  Capt. Repp succeeded him. In the commencement of the battle, Capl. Repp commanded the company to which he was attached. After fighting awhile the division extended its line to the left and Picken's men were marched up between it & the Artillery. — Col. Walter, Hampton, Polk & others were among the Col s commanding Regiments in Genl. Sumpter's Brigade. He served his time out & was dismissed without a written discharge. He hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension or annuity except the pension, and declares that his name is not on the pension
