David Williams - Applicant -
I the undersigned David Williams, being called on by W. G. Livingston agent of the Pension office, for a statement of my age & Revolutionary services as a Soldier, give the following to wit - I shall be 73 years old the 18 th May 1826. I was born in Augusta County Virginia, and during the war of the Revolution lived in what is now Green County - and was forced all the time, in the defense thereof, at Danville Fort, except the time here in after mentioned - which at Danville Fort, was the latter adjacent - we there were three or four companies in each company - we had duty every day for some time, would turn out all in a body and work each other some 10 or 12 hours - a while some were working others would be guarding or standing sentry - in this way we got along as well as we could - we all performed our duty and amputation (second) - we always slept on the ground in a body, in which we could sleep, as a Captain or Colonel -
In the year in which I was captured in York Town, I went from Green County, with an expedition under Col. Hamilton to assist the Kentucky, I was attached to Capt. James Armstrong's company - we remained in that County for some time but I went into Virginia - I would not be willing to share the same for six months - but I am confident we might at least for one month - David M. Scott wrote my declaration - I have it before George Gilliland. Gilliland Scott came to my house together for the purpose of taking my declaration - at the time I was and am still able to go to the Court at (Lexington) - my declaration was read to me, it claimed the time spent at Danville Fort, was in Kentucky - I was not there much, nor can I say how long I was engaged in fighting - perhaps one or two weeks.

week or more. — The Statement now given is in substance the same as given to Slidell. In Wittington's which I here to subscribe my name Jan'y 24. 1835 — I made no settlement right. because I was too young.

Books — after the signing Statement was given — I read to William his declaration — which he states to be correct — and that then it was essentially different from the one read to him by Slidell.
