Declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress, passed June 7, 1832
State of Tennessee Rutherford County
On this 22 nd day of October 1832, personally ap- peared in open Court, before the justices of the Court of Pleas & Quarter Sessions now sitting, Joseph Vick, a resident of the County & State aforesaid, 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 th 1832.
That he entered the service of the United States under the following named Officers, and served as herein stated, to wit: That from family tradition he was born in Sampson County North Carolina Virginia, on the 19 th day of Feb y 1762. In June 1781, the militia of my neighborhood, were called for a draught - there were fourteen men in the company to which I was attached. I proposed to the Capt. to stand out for the service, and term them the wage of a draught, if they would give me a handsome recompense. (most of them being new of families disliked much leaving home. They accordingly agreed among themselves to give me a horse, saddle & bridle, ten cows, beef, and ten dollars in Cash. I immediately entered the service under Capt. Wm. Alcock, & was marched to the head quarters of Genl. Greene's army, then acting on the south bank of the Congree River. Within a week afterwards myself and two other soldiers, Solley Pendergrass & Richd. Tillery, were attacked with the flu - we were moved to an off. house - the other two died - I was confined first with the flu, & the fever & ague, for six weeks. During the time of my in- disposition & confinement, Genl. Greene fought the battle of the Eutaw Springs. this took place in August or September to the best of my recollection. (My health being restored I joined the army again at the high hills of Santee river. Marched thence to a place called Cound O. where we remained sometime. thence to Pine - Pond - thence to Bacons bridge on Ashley river - thence to Jacksonborough orboro'. thence to Ashley hills where I was discharged: after having served between

fourteen and fifteen months. During all the time I belonged to Col. Armstrong's regiment, but frequently changed captains. to Col. Capt. Beacock. Capt. Goodman (killed at the Canton Springs by a cannon shot) Capt. Bailey. Capt. Glen. Capt. Ginnelly. Capt. Jos. Rhodes. Among the officers of the army I remembered. Maj. Dougherty, Maj. Receiving Blount, Peter Pratt, Coinsherry. Capt. Avery, a captain. Capt. Coleman of the regular Army. I frequently saw Genl. Greene. He was a fine looking, portly man, over the common size, and would wear uniforms of 200 perhaps 250 pounds. When I returned home, I told my certificate for my services to Wm. Goodman, the bearer of the class referred to above. He insisted that my discharge (signed by Jos. Rhodes) should accompany the certificate in order to avoid any difficulty, and to enable him to draw the money. He kept it into his hands & I have never received it since.
I don't know of any person living who can prove the extent of my services, nor have I any documentary evidence thereof. As the best proof that it is in my power to adduce I hand herewith an affidavit of my sister Mary Equals who resides in Logan County Tenn. She is too old and infirm to travel to this place to make her statement in Court, and it was therefore out of my power to present it in any other shape. I lived in North Carolina until I moved to this County now twenty seven years past, where I have ever since resided and am known to many of our most respectable people, to wit: Robt. E. Horton Esq. in whose immediate neighborhood I lived a long time, spending a part of the time in his house. To all his sons - to the Honble. Felix Grundy, Rev. Wm. Hume, to Wm. Little Senator in the State Legislature. to Col. Robt. Weakley - to Governor Carroll - to Maj. Wm. B. Lewis now of Washington City - to Thos. Crutcher Esq. Treasurer of the State, and many others of the first men in the County -
We hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension or annuity other than except the present, and declares that his name is not on the Pension Roll of the Agency of any State.

My dear Senator:
Reference is made to your telephone request of October 8th, relative to the Revolutionary War record of Joseph Vick.
The data which follow are obtained from the papers on file in the Revolutionary War pension claim, W. 6364.
Joseph Vick was born February 19, 1762, in Sampson County, North Carolina.
While a resident of that county he enlisted in June, 1781, and served between fourteen and fifteen months as private in Captains William Alcock's, Goodman's, Bailly's, Clem Hall's and Joseph Rhodes' Companies in Colonel Armstrong's North Carolina Regiment.
He was allowed pension on his application executed October 22, 1832, at which time he was a resident of Davidson County, Tennessee, having moved there about 1806 from Sampson County, North Carolina.
Joseph Vick died December 16, 1844, in Davidson County, Tennessee.
He married November 15, 1822, in Davidson County, Tennessee, Dianna or Dinah Kennedy. The marriage license was obtained November 13, 1822.
On account of the Revolutionary War service of Joseph Vick, his widow, Dinah or Dianna, was allowed pension on her application

executed March 5, 1853, at which time she was living in South Harpeth, Davidson County, Tennessee, and she then stated that she was eighty-four years of age.
In 1865 she was living in Williamson County, Tennessee, with her daughter, Mrs. Courtney Sawyer.
In 1868 she stated that she was 105 years of age and was living in Williamson County, Tennessee.
Charles M. Sawyer and Coston Sawyer were residents of Williamson County, Tennessee, in 1865, and reference was also made to John S. Sawyer but their relationship to the soldier or widow was not given.
Very truly yours,

Mem:
In the case of Minah Vick. I am satisfied from certain statements made by the Wills State Agt: of Tennessee, and the lets: he submits, that she is alive, nearly 100 years old and was, loyal. I will not wait to call for formal proof of loyalty. She ought to have her pension at once! This is the first case in which I have waived the usual form of proof.
As the responsibility of the allowance is with me, I take it, and order the Clerk to be informed.

Hon. L. P. Waldo Joint of Pensions Cl. vii.
I have the honor to enclose herewith the declaration of Mrs. Sarah Vick widow of Joseph for the benefits of the 2 d section of the Act of 3 rd Feby. 1853. together with proof of identity and an official copy of her marriage bond.
It will appear that owing to the bodily infirmity of the applicant her declaration was made before a Justice of the Peace, and that his proceedings were made a matter of record, by order of a court of record, in open court.
Very Respectfully
Your Ob d Serv t
