State of North Carolina } Guilford county } for
On this twentieth day of November in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and thirty two personally appeared in open court before Benjamin Hop- Francis Shell & Isaac Odell the court now sitting Phillip Lean a resident of the county of Guilford and state of North Carolina, aged seventy years on 27 th of October last, who being first duly sworn according to law, cloth on his oath, make the following declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the act of congress passed 7 th of June 1832
That he entered the service of the United States under the following named officers, and herein stated: That he resided in the county of Granville  Warren North Carolina and was drafted about the month of June in the 1780 as well as he now recollects and was placed under the command of Captain White for three months, that he was marched from Warren to Halifax in North Carolina where his company was furnished with arms and other troops which had rendezvoused at that place, after a short stay at that place, the whole of the troops were marched to South Carolina and placed under the command of General Gats near Cheraw in South Carolina, where he remained a few days, when he was taken unwell and General Gats ordered all that were unfit for service to be carried to Cheraw & there left at the Hospital in that place, and marched himself with his troops and brought on the Battle in which he was defeated, which took place some time in the latter end of the summer as well as he can now recollect He states his history from memory alone as he was then called into service but a boy and kept no record or minute of his travel, After the defeat of General Gats He was marched from Cheraw to Salisbury in North Carolina under Colonel Lenoir, who had been joined by some of the remnant of General Gats troops

He was stationed about a week at Salisbury and then moved to the North side of the Yadkin river about seven miles from Salisbury where Colonel Davis remained for about three weeks with a view of increasing his number of troops & not suffering those whose time of service had expired, to return home, after other lines were made and companies called out, Colonel Davis marched his company from the Yadkin to Hillsboro N Carolina where he discharged his company, and at that place gave the affiant a written discharge, which he long since been lost or destroyed as he did not suppose that it would at any time be of importance to him. In the town the affiant was in service about fifteen days and returned to his father's in Warren County; where he remained until some time in the spring of the year following when he was again drafted for three months and it was then proposed by the officers that if any militiaman would furnish himself with a horse & equipage & serve two months it should be a discharge for three months service in the militia, that he accepted of the proposition and furnished his horse & equipage and joined the corps of Captain Zoller in Warren county and was placed under the command of Colonel Joseph Hawkins, that he was marched to Tarborough in N Carolina and from there on to South Carolina with a view of suppressing the Tories about Reidsville Mill, and when they had arrived near that place they were informed that about four hundred British and Tories had assembled at the Mill, when it was thought by the officers that it would be imprudent to attack a force so much superior to their own, as our body did not amount to more than about seventy. After a few weeks remaining in that part of South Carolina, he was marched back to Hillsboro where he was duly discharged but he cannot now recollect whether he received a written discharge or not if he did however it has long since been lost or destroyed.

after the term of service of two months had expired he returned to Warren county where he lived until his removal with his father's family to Guilford county where he has lived ever since, which as well as the now recollection was about forty five years ago.
He hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension or annuity except the present and declares that his name is not on the pension roll of the agency of any state.
