I, the said Jacob Lachanaw, was born in Germany (Europe) in the month of November 1751 I have no record of my age When I was called into the service I lived in the county of Surry in the State of North Carolina, in that part which now forms the said county of Stokes. I entered the service of the United States, and served under the following officers, to wit, In the year 1776 there being a call for volunteers to go against the Indians I volunteered for a six months tour under Capt. Henry Smith, Lieut. Pinkley, and that company was put under the command of Col. Joseph Williams. There were no regular forces with us. We were first stationed at Richmond which was then Surry Court House, (but it is now in Stokes) We set out from this place early in May (precise day not remembered) in the aforesaid year of 1776, on what was then generally called the Cherokee Expedition, we marched up the Yadkin River to a place

place called Allens Iron works, from thence we were marched back to Richmond where we were kept a short time; we were led out again & crossed the Allegany mountain at at "Flower Gap" and con- tinued our march to a place called Long Island on Holston River , where we had our rendezvous, at this place we joined a detachment of Virginians, and we were all placed under the command of Gen. Christy : we remained here several weeks during which time many skirmishes took place between small parties of us and the Indians: from Long Island we marched out through the Cherokee nation in sundry directions skirmishing their towns on the Tennessee River , and other rivers in the nation: we crossed French Broad river and many smaller waters. We were in no general battle during this tour, but many skirmishes took place with the Indians aforesaid. I was discharged from the tour on the 28th of November 1776, as near as I can ascertain some where in the nation, but the North-Carolinians kept together till we reached New River when we dispersed and each one came home as he could. I did not receive any written discharge. George Lochamour who served in the tour with me is living in the county of Stokes aforesaid, who can and will testify to my services as above stated.
