Meriwether, and marched to Williamsburg, and thence to Cobbin Point, where we lay about six weeks, and march to York Town, and thence to Smithfield, and from thence to the Rappahannock, where we remained some time, back to Cobbin Point where I was discharged verbally by my Superior officer - having served something more than two months. - About one month after, I again volunteered in the Company of Captain Walker in Amelia, Virginia, & marched to Richmond, & thence to Petersburg - thence to Williamsburg - where we were stationed for some time - from thence we marched to

York Town - and thence to Smithfield and thence to the dismal swamps, where I was discharged, having served about two months - Some short time afterwards I again entered the service under Capt Braddock and served a tour, the length of which I can not recollect, but, it was more than two months - My Fourth Campaign was done under Captain Walker for about two months, in a section of the country with which I was unacquainted and cannot now recollect the names of places - I afterwards served two campaigns of about two months each, under Major Wol- line, and Genl. Lafayette. and was finally discharged at York Town, a short time before the fall of Lord Cornwallis. - I have no documentary evidence of my service now in my possession and know of no person who served with me who can now testify for me. - I hereby relinquish my claim to a pension or annuity except the present, and declare that my name is not on the pension Roll of the agency of any state.
To the questions proposed by the Court, I answer. 1 st I was born in Virginia 1 st Jan y 1745. - 2 d the Record of my age was left in Virginia - 3.
