State of Virginia } p. County of Brooke }
On this thirteenth day of July 1832 personally appeared in Open court, before the Justices of the Court of Brooke County, now sitting, Robert M. Intire, resident in the said County and State, aged seventy one years past, 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, 1832.
That he entered the service of the United States under the following named Officers, and served as herein stated.
That he was enrolled in the militia at the age of sixteen years, by Captain Josiah Springer, in what was then called Youghiogheny County, Virginia, and now Fayette County and State of Pennsylvania: That in the month of June (day of the month not recollected) in the year 1774 he was drafted, and served one month militia duty under the command of Lieutenant Martin, at what was then called 'Redstone old fort' (now Brownsville) on the Monongahela river, to guard the public stores deposited there; these stores consisted of Powder, Lead, Flour, Salt, & etc. that were brought over the mountains on Pack horses, for the use of the troops then at Fort Pitt, under the command of Col. John Gibson. They were brought to Redstone by Braddock's trail, because the road from Bedford to Fort Pitt was considered unsafe on account of Indians.
On the 16 th day of July 1774, declarant entered as a volunteer to serve on an expedition against the Shawnee towns, under the command of General George Roger Clark - (declarant continuing to reside in what was then called Youghiogheny County, V a .) the company he belonged to was commanded by Captain Stewart, the Major of the Regiment was Crescraft, the Lieut. Colonel, John Harden, and the Colonel, Sackwell Morgan (proprietor of Morgantown). The other Officers of the Regiment that declarant recollects, were, Captains Robert Ferris, George Jackson, Benjamin Whaley, Jeremiah Johnson, Michael Cat, & Bruce; Lieutenant James Paul (father of Col. George Paul of the late army) and Adjutant John Morrison. Col. Brockett's Regiment of the continental line (two years men, as declarant understood) and Major George Wall belonged to Genl. Clark's corps. Brigade Major was Major Britton, and Major Britton acted as Aid de camp.
The Troops started from the mouth of Cheat's creek, on the Ohio river, two miles below Fort Pitt, some by water and others by land, about the 25 th day of July following, and arrived at Wheeling fort, where they were joined by other troops, that made the whole strength, as declarant understood, two thousand men. They embarked in boats at Wheeling. Col. Laughery had not arrived at Wheeling with his command, when Genl. Clark started, but was hourly expected; proceeding down the river, Genl. Clark at one of the Islands in the long reach, and above the mouth of the Muskingum river, left Major Crescraft with a boat containing provisions and eighteen men to accompany Col. Laughery, when he would be descending the river, to join Genl. Clark. Neither Col. Laughery nor Major Crescraft came up with Genl. Clark. Was informed that Col. Laughery and his men stopped to cook breakfast, when they were surprised and fired upon by Indians - Laughery and some of his men were killed, and all the survivors, were made prisoners. The place

where they were surprised, is yet called Saffery's creek. Genl. Clarke proceeded to Louisville, where his men were detained three or four months, waiting to be joined by troops from Kentucky, when some Officers arrived, and finding that a sufficient number of men could not be raised, the enterprise was abandoned. The Volunteer Militia under Col. Morgan, were then marched home - their route was generally through the wilderness, and on the east side of the Ohio river. The return march occupied about two months, and the declarant arrived at home (in Fayette county, Penn a ) on the 9 th day of January 1782, having been in service, on this expedition six months, lacking one week.
Declarant further states that he has no documentary evidence of his services, having never received a written discharge, and that he knows of no person whose testimony he can procure, who can testify to his service. In the above declaration, the names of George Jackson (some time ago a member of congress from Virginia) and James Paul are mentioned as Officers, who served at the same time with declarant. He is informed that the former  these gentlemen, a number of years ago, removed to the state of Ohio, and he does not now know that either of them are at present alive.
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.
Sworn to and subscribed, the day and year aforesaid.
