Declaration
In order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress passed June the 7 th 1832
Virginia Madison County SS
On this Twenty Seventh day of September 1832 personally appeared in open court before the Justices of the County Court of Madison now sitting, William Dryman a resident of Madison County in the State of Virginia aged Twenty Seven years 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. In the month of August or September 1777 I was drafted for a two months tour in the County of Culpeper in the state of Virginia where I then resided and still resides (Madison County taken from Culpeper about 1792) I served under Capt. Henry Hill, The Regiment was commanded by Col. James Barbours I crossed the Potomac River at Bolands Ferry and joined the Army under the

2 Command of General Washington in the neighborhood of Philadelphia, passing through Frederick Town in the state of Maryland and Little York and Lane- caster in the state of Pennsylvania. At this time the Enemy had possessed of Philadelphia, during this tour the Fort at Redbank was blown up and I was near enough to hear the report, but the distance was considerable, At the expiration of this tour of July I was discharged and returned home, I think it was in the month of Nov r when I reached home, In the month of January 1781 I was drafted the second time for a tour of two months from the County and State where I resided when first drafted I was attached to the Company commanded by Capt. Henry Towles and marched to the neighborhood of Fredericksburg and stat- ioned at Hunters Forge for the purpose of protecting that place. I was only in service about two weeks this tour before I was discharged, and excused as the Troops were not wanting at that place

about the first of May 1781 I was drafted the third time in the County and State where I resided when first drafted - again for a two months tour I was attached to the Company under the Command of Cap t . Joseph Wood, The Regiment to which I was attached was Commanded by Col t . Alcock, The Regiment joined The American Army commanded by General Laffett about twenty miles from Richmond Virginia then on the retreat to Raccoon Ford in the County of Culpeper at which place they met the American Troops under Gen t . Wayne. The united force of the two American Generals made a retrograde movement and in the County of New Kent in Virginia I was taken sick and did not again join The Army during this tour.
In the year 1781. and in the early part of September I was again drafted for a two months tour, from the County and State I resided in when first drafted

4 This was my fourth and last hour of duty I was attached to the Company and the Command of Capt. James Clarke. The Commander of the Regiment I don't recollect - but the Brigade I believe was commanded by Genl. Stevens, at the time I was drafted this fourth time by Capt. Clarke was appointed an Orderly Sergeant , I joined the American Army in the neighborhood of Williamsburg in Virginia and marched on to Yorktown, I reached the vicinity in time to see the beginning of the Siege and remained in active duty until the surrender of the British Army. After the surrender I assisted in guarding the prisoners and was regularly discharged. The discharge if a letter one long since lost, I was born in the year 1754. The Record of my age I have often said in the presence of my Father, I have resided in the same neighborhood from my birth to the present time, I refer to my Neighbours Genl. William Madison and Col. Linn Clarke. They have known me all their lives, The affidavits of Mary Jones Robert Terrell and David Jones are herewith Inclosed,

BA-J/ILL GW William Twyman S. 7771
Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request information regarding the following Revolutionary War soldiers, Rezin and William Brashear, Nicholas Crenshaw, Eli Cleveland, James Parker who died in December 1798 and whose wife was Mary Rodd, David Todd, George Twyman, and William Twyman whose wife was Lucy Crenshaw.
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.
There are no claims for pension or bounty land on file based upon service in that war of the James Parker described above, nor of any Rezin Brashear, William Brashear, Nicholas Crenshaw, Eli Cleveland, David Todd or George Twyman; similar spellings of the surnames were used in the search of the records. The record has been found of only one William Twyman; the data given herein were found in his claim for pension, S. 7771, based upon his service in the Revolutionary War.
William Twyman was born in the year 1754 in Culpeper County, Virginia, the part of said county which was later Madison County; the names of his parents were not given.
While a resident of Culpeper County, Virginia, he enlisted in August or September 1777 and served two months as orderly sergeant in Captain Henry Hill's company, Colonels Pendleton and James Barbour's Virginia regiment, during which period he marched through Maryland to

Pennsylvania: William Twyman enlisted in January 1781 and served two weeks as orderly sergeant in Captain Henry Towles' Virginia company; he enlisted in May 1781, and served two months as orderly sergeant in Captain Joseph Wood's company, Colonel Allcock's Virginia regiment; he enlisted early in September 1781, and served two months as orderly sergeant in Captain James Clark's Virginia company, during which period he was in the Siege of Yorktown and guarded prisoners after the surrender of the British Army.
William Twyman was allowed pension on his application executed September 27, 1832, at which time he resided in Madison County, Virginia. He had lived during his entire lifetime in that neighborhood. The soldier made no reference to wife or children at the time he made his application for pension.
In 1834, one Anthony Twyman was a Justice of the Peace in Madison County, Virginia; no relationship between him and the soldier was stated.
In order to obtain the date of last payment of pension, name of person paid, and, possibly, the date of death of this pensioner, you should apply to The Comptroller General, General Accounting Office, Records Division, this city, and cite the following :
William Twyman Certificate #16454 Issued August 26, 1833 Rate $23.33 per annum Commenced March 4, 1831. Act of June 7, 1832. Virginia Agency.

I William Fugman of the County of Madison and State of Virginia do hereby make the following amendment (agreeably to the requisitions contained in the subjoined letter) In my third tour of duty I state that I was taken sick in the County of Huntreal Virginia - As well as my memory serves me at this great lapse of time I think it was not more than ten or fifteen days before the tour would have ended that my officers gave me leave to return home in consequence of sickness. It will be remembered that I was in this and all the tours I performed an Orderly Sargeant, a short time before the tour ended My Health improved and I immediately formed that division of the Army to which I belonged, I conceive that I fully performed my duty in this third tour Given under my hand this 17. Th day of July 1833

I. Does the declaration show where the applicant resides? yes II. Did the declarant make the declaration in the county where he resides? yes III. If the applicant did not make the declaration in the county where he resides, is there any reason assigned for his not doing so? IV. Has the declarant mentioned the period or periods of the war when he served? yes V. * Has he mentioned with precision the length of his service, and the different grades in which he served, in language so definite as to enable the department to determine to what amount of pension he is entitled? yes VI. Has he given the names of the officers under whom he served, in conformity with the regulations? yes VII.

XVI. ‡ Are the papers authenticated as the regulations direct? yes  No
XVII. Are the seven interrogatories prescribed by the War Department answered satisfactorily? And, if not, which of them is not so answered? All answered
EXPLANATORY NOTES.
* QUERE V. In a case where the applicant cannot, by reason of the loss of memory, state precisely how long he served, he should amend his declaration by making an affidavit in the following words:
"Personally appeared before me, the undersigned, a Justice of the Peace, &c. A. B. who, being duly sworn, deposeth and saith, that, by reason of old age, and the consequent loss of memory, he cannot swear positively as to the precise length of his service, but according to the best of his recollection he served not less than the periods mentioned below, and in the following grades; For _____ year _____ months, and _____ days, I served as a _____ For _____ months and _____ days, I served as a _____; and for such service I claim a pension."

It is important in all cases to determine with precision the period for which each applicant served, and the particular rank he held, as the law directs the pension to be paid according to the grade of the pensioner and the length of his service. The use of the phrase about three or four months is too indefinite, and all such qualifying expressions are objectionable. Some persons who apply for pensions merely state they served two years in the militia, &c. without specifying the tours; the names of the officers, and other particulars respecting their service. This form of a declaration is highly objectionable. It must in every case be clearly shewn under what officers the applicant served; the duration of each term of engagement; the particular place or places where the service was performed; that the applicant served with an embodied corps called into service by competent authority; that he was either in the field or in garrison; and for the time during which the service was performed, he was not employed in any civil pursuit.
†QUERE XIV. Proof of Service.
In a case where the name of the applicant is not found on the records of the Department, he must prove his service by two credible witnesses, who are required to set forth in their affidavits the time of the claimants entering the service, and the time and manner of his leaving the same, as well as the regiment, company, and line to which he belonged. The magistrate who may administer the oaths must certify to the credibility of the witnesses, and the official character and signature of the magistrate must be certified by the proper officer, under his seal of office.
‡QUERE XVI. Mode of authenticating papers.
In every instance where the certificate of the certifying officer who authenticates the papers is not written on the same sheet of paper which contains the affidavit, or other paper authenticated, the certificate must be attached thereto by a piece of tape or narrow ribbon, the ends of which must pass under the seal of office of the certifying officer, so as to prevent any paper from being improperly attached to the certificate.
¶ In every case where the clerk of the court, or other certifying officer, has no public seal of office, the certificate of a member of congress, proving the official character and signature of the certifying officer, should accompany the papers.

Dear Sir,
In a communication from the War Dept. this morning I was told to write to you for information in regard to Christ. (Christopher) Freeman, who was from Gloucester or one of the adjoining counties of Va. He moved from there

to what was later Cul- peper Co. so he may be credited to either of the counties named.
Will you please tell me what record you have of him or a
Thomas Freeman of Culpeper, Va. Also of
a Wm 87771  Tryman of
Middlesex or Madison Counties. I will be very much obliged.
Very truly, Mrs L. C. Hardy.

I should have said in my last letter that I am anxious for the records of my ancestors William Ireyman, Sr., and also William Ireyman, Jr.
The following is a bit of the data which I possess: # William Ireyman born 20 th May 1727, married Winifred Cowherd. William in his later years was a resident of Madison County, Va. # William Ireyman born 1754

(was the son of above William Ingraham). He was married to Elizabeth Barnett. The indi- cations are that he also resided in Madison County.
In all probabilities William Ingraham, Sr. enlisted in the service from Mary- land, as part of his children were born there and the rest in Virginia.
Thanking you for your kindness, I am respectfully, Mrs. Paul A. Klayder, Armstrong, Mo.
