State of South-Carolina Darlington District } 3
On this ninth (9 th ) day of July in the year of our Lord One thousand eight hundred thirty four personally appeared before me Jehu Rott who being first duly sworn took on his oath say make the following decla- -ration, supplementary to his declaration made in open court for this district in October A.D. 1832 in order to obtain the more full benefit of the act of Congress passed 7 June 1832. That he made that declaration under the impression that it was only necessary to shew that he had served six months, to entitle him to the full benefit of the act. Therefore then confined himself to his service as a regular soldier - that being most easily provable - But in addition to his service in the regular army, he did, as drafted Militia man, serve most of the balance of the war. He was first drafted in what was then called Georgetown district of this State under Capt. Joseph Fox, comman- -ded by Col. Hugh Giles, when his brother went in his place up Lynchs Creek for about a month against the Tories - This was before this this declarant enlisted as stated in his for- -mer declaration - As soon as his term of enlistment was over (say in July 1777) he was again drafted under the same Col. H. Giles (Capt. name not remembered) for one month went out with him about Pee Dee, Catfish &c against the Tories. He was from this time drafted monthly every other month & man- -ned against the Tories under sundry Captains but generally commanded by the same Colonel - He often remained out more than the month & at length had to continue out almost constantly

And above the month of March 1780 was marched down to Charleston under Capt. George King - He was at the siege & capture of that City & was taken prisoner there - While in Charleston, George King was declared - Captain, Alexander Gwin his Major & Genl. Lincoln Commander of the American forces - General Clinton Comman- ded the British - He was detained prisoner about eight days & then paroled & suffered to go home, under which parole he continued till the re- -gular discharge of prisoners who were sent back (about a year after) to James River for exchange Early in the year 1781, this declaration joined Genl. (then Col.) Marion under something like a draft - Almost all the Whigs being then obliged to be out all the time - He continued with Marion marching through Santee Swamp & was at the burning of Bishops Church not far from Monk's corner on the road to Charleston when Genl. Marion (declared being one of his men) per- -suaded the British to surrender, & was then defea- -ted - continuing with Marion he was with him at the battle of the Eutaw Springs - the forces being commanded by Genl. Green - and was then severely wounded by a musket ball in his left knee of which wound he is a cripple to this day. He continued on in the army till it was disbanded soon after that battle but from his wound could render no essential service was permitted to go home before the discharge of the same - He understood that no written discharge was then given to the soldiers - He did not get any. These services of his will be testified to by Thomas Gordon who was often with him during his time in most of the places stated above named.

Declarant was born in Georgetown District in Pee Dee South Carolina on 4 August 1753 has resided in that district since, ever since having been out of as a soldier as stated in this his former declaration. I hereby re- -linguish every claim whatever to a pension or annuity except the present declaration my name is not on any pension not ex- -cept that of South Carolina.

To the honorable the President & Members of the Senate of the United States
The humble Petition of John Roll Respectfully represents that he was a sol- -dier during the Revolutionary war attached to the fifth Regt of Riflemen commanded by Col. Isaac Huger, Major Benjamin Huger & Capt. Thomas Potts. That he was in engage- ments in South Carolina afterwards Marched to Georgia - That he had regular discharges, but has lost them - Though the fact of his having served as above he hopes will be considered as satisfactorily proven when he states & knows (as he is prepared to do) that his statement as above, has been admitted by the Legislature of the state of South Carolina & he placed on her pension list for some years past on account thereof. He also understands that his name appears on the books of the war department of their day in the character above given. That his pro- -perty is valued at $460, but it consists chiefly in land, which from his crippled situation he is unable to work - That he has a large family & without some public assistance he cannot make out

to live at all comfortably. He thereupon petitioned your honorable body to place him on the pension list of the United States, hereby declaring his willingness & readiness, if necessary for that purpose, to relinquish his further pension from the State of South Carolina - his only motive for making this request being the fact, as he understands, that Congress allows more in such cases than the State of South Carolina in which he resides and your Petitioner will ever pray & so forth - John Holt

I have the honor to enclose you the application of M c John Kobb a soldier of the Revolution for a pension. The application is I believe in the form prescribed by the department, and is supported by the affidavit of Thomas Goodson a fellow soldier of the Applicant. M c Kobb and M c Goodson are both personally known to me. They are both respectable old men, and are universally believed in the neighborhood in which they live to be men of integrity, and to have served in the revolutionary war. M c Goodson now receives a pension of eight dollars. An early attention to M c Kobb's case is requested, as in the event of

failing in this application at the office (which I do not anticipate) it is my intention to apply to Congress in his behalf. Having

Sir If Mr Jehu Kobb will return his certificate of pension to this Office, we will issue a new one, for $79 16 / 100 per annum, to which he is entitled.
This pension has not been stopped. The Agent would not pay his stipend without a special order from this Office, because it has remained unclaimed for more than one year. The printed sheets enclosed will explain the cause more fully.
I Am, respectfully, Your Ob t Servt. J L Edwards
Peter C Cogswell Esqr of Darlington S Carolina.
Present. In compliance with the instructions of your

letter that I may obtain the new certificate of pension for a larger amount, I return herewith that in my possession. Mr Coggeshall also informed me, that in conversation with you on the subject you stated, that you would direct the difference between the pension certificate to be issued and the one returned, from the 4th March 1838, as well as the arrears from the 4th March 1838, from which time no payment has been made, to be paid me. For this I am truly grateful, and I will thank you to forward to me at this place, by mail, with the new certificate, such arrears by draft; or in such other manner as may be proper or furnish me with such instructions as will enable me to obtain them.
Supposing that they might be required to entitle me to receive a draft for the money - without being able to determine as to their necessity or sufficiency. I have also transmitted the affidavits and magistrates' and Clerk's certificates ordinarily required upon application for the payment.

of pensions - noting therein the fact of the return of the certificate of pension in order to obtain one for an increased amount - in compliance, as near as the the case will admit, with the note attached to the printed forms - directing the magistrate, to note the fact, when the pension has been increased.
Mr Robert B Campbell representative in Congress from this District is written to simultaneously with this letter - requesting him to give you any information which on this subject which may be within his knowledge, if you should find it necessary to apply to him. And I have no doubt he will readily respond to any such application.

Col Sir Campbell
Before
I am again obliged to trouble you respecting the pension of our old friend, Mr John Holt, he does not understand why there has been a deduction of $47. 88 / 100 per Annum, from the $80 allowed him, from 4 th March 1831 to 4 th March 1840, as set forth in the receipts sent him by the agent in Charleston for his signature, previous to the payment of the bal ce which the agent says is now due - Mr Holt informs me he has never received received (previous to the the dft you forwarded him a few days since), a dollar from the Genl Government, save on one occasion, about ten years since, he received a dft for about $40. He had been in the habit of receiving a pension from this State which amounted to more than the one then offered by the Genl Government, and he consequently declined receiving it. He would presume the amt deducted, was for monies paid him by the

State since the 4 March 1831. but it does not ago. If this Communication should reach you in time, you will confer additional obligation upon me an old friend by procuring from the War department the information he desires.
As it is probable you may have left Washington when this shall have arrived, I will so direct it that it may be delivered to the War De- partment —
Truly Yours,
E. M. Charles

Sir
I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of two papers which were filed in the Pension Office relative to an increase of John Kolt's pension, one of which is dated at Darlington County South Carolina and contains the certificate of John Kolt the applicant, of R. Campbell & John P. Davis his acquaintance, of B. J. Davis the presiding judge, and of S. W. Dutton the Clerk of the Court.
The other paper which was filed by my predecessor, I herewith return, retaining that the one retained will be sufficient with other evidence at my command, to effect the object I have in view, of obtaining tardy justice to a time worn soldier.
Very Respectfully

Sir
I have the honor to enclose you three affidavits in relation to the services of John Kott a private soldier of the Revolution.
You will perhaps remember that during a previous session of Congress I had the honor to lay before you various papers in support of the claim of this old man to a pension. These papers were made out in strict accordance to the forms required by the Department, but although they proved conclusively that Mr. Kott was a soldier of the Revolution and that he was wounded at the battle of Eutaw, they failed to show any particular length of service. That defect is now removed, for the enclosed affidavits, each of them by a soldier of the Revolution , from as fully as could be expected from the circumstances, that he served from the commencement of the war to the battle of Eutaw, in which battle he received a wound that still renders him a cripple.
In addition to the papers which I now submit, I have received many letters from the most respectable gentlemen of his neighbourhood in relation to the claims of this poor old neglected soldier. For whom, as far as he is known, there exists a universal sym-

= patty and not a solitary doubt of his truth and honesty.
I cannot doubt that the enclosed papers will be received as sufficient to place the claimant at full pay on the pension roll, and in addition to my perfect conviction of its justice, it will afford me great personal satisfaction to have it in my power soon to revive the almost desponding hopes of this poor old man, who bears in his pension order proof of his having been a faithful soldier.
Hoping to hear from you very soon
I am very Respectfully Yr obt servt John Campbelle
