That he entered the service of the United States under the following named officers, and served as herein stated.
That he was drafted, and entered the service under Captain Walton, that part of the field officers under whom he served were Colonel Moore, and Major Varnb; that he entered the service in the year 1861 in the County of Bragg, and State of South Carolina; that he was stationed some time at a place then called Shepherd's Hill, and marched thence to Fayetteville. From the latter place he marched with the army under the command of General Yates, to the neighborhood of Camden, as he believes; that a very short time before the engagement between General Yates and the British army under Lord Cornwallis, he was

marched with a detachment to reinforce General Sumpter, who had then lately taken some prisoners: that he was in a slight engagement between Gen. Sumpter and a party of British dragoons, about the time or shortly after the defeat of General Gates. that he served then  under  General  Sumpter that term, about three months. Immediately after my return here I volunteered under Captain William L. Cag- lass, and was attached to the Regiment commanded by Colonel Taylor, and Major McBrady, in this store he served three months or more, during which he marched from Orange County, S.C. to the vicinity of the Laurens Hills, in South Carolina. Sometime after his return to Orange County, he again volunteered under Captain Abrahams Allen, and was engaged in opposing the Tories in North Carolina; he was during this term Captain Allen fought the Tories at Lovestick's, in Orange County, and was wounded, and Lieutenant Joseph Young was killed. A few days after this Skirmish, a battle was fought at Simley's mill with a party of Tories under Colonel Fanning; at the conclusion of this term he received a discharge for three months service. He believes he received a discharge for each of the proceeding terms but he does not know what has become

of them He has no documentary evidence of his service.
He was born in Orange County, N. Carolina, where he lived several years after the revolutionary war, and then removed to East Tennessee, and has resided ever since in Grainger and Jefferson Counties; he resides now in Jefferson County.
He hereby relinquishes every claim to a pen- sion or annuity except the present, and declares that his name is not on the pension roll of the agency of any State. Sworn to, and subscribed the day year aforesaid.

That she is the widow of Henry Ivy & is now in the receipt of a Pension of $ 00 per Annum under the act of 1844
That the said Henry Ivy served two years and six months at different Periods and tours during the Revolutionary War from the State North Carolina She cannot now tell the number or length of said tours That she intermarried with him during said War and before the end of his service viz in the year 1779
That the reason her husband did not give a fuller detail of his service in his declaration under the act of 1832 was because the man (Mr A B Bradford) who drew his declaration told him it was not worth while to put down all his services in detail That one tour of more than six months length would be sufficient to procure his Pension and (that her husband did not know that the Amount of Pension was governed by the length of service) She further declares that she was married to the said Henry Ivy before he performed all the service as above stated and ought to have had her pension under the act 1835 instead of 1838 as will more fully appear by the proof here to before produced
