State of Indiana } County of Johnson } ss.
On this twelfth day of November in the year 1839. personally appeared in open Court before Israel Watts sole judge of the Probate Court of Johnson County, now sitting, John Israel a resident of Franklin Township in said County, and state, aged sixty seven years, 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. 1839.
That he was drafted into the service of the United States, in May in the year 1781. under the command of Colonel Isaac, and Nathan Gordon who performed the duties of Major, tho. he was not as this declarant believes commissioned; and those being the only field officers belonging to said regiment or detachment it not being a full regiment; — Captain Pendleton Isbel Lieutenant Mitchell and Ensign Foster, were the officers of the company to which this declarant belonged; — That at the time of entering the service as aforesaid this declarant was a resident of Wilkes County in the state of North Carolina; at which place he entered the service as aforesaid; — and from thence marched through the Counties of Surry, Rhea, Guilford, Orange, and Randolph, & was stationed for some time in the last named County; — That this expedition was got up for the purpose of suppressing the Tories who, at that time, were very numerous in that part of the state; — That while stationed at the County of Randolph as aforesaid, General Lee, being on his march to the south encamped his troops within sight of the encampment of the troops to which this declarant belonged, and remained in said encampment for the space of one day & night; — That this engagement of service being only for three months at the end of that period from enlistment as aforesaid, he was discharged and returned home.

This declarant also in the month of September, in the year 1781 entered into the service of the United States as a volunteer, under the command of Colonel Benjamin Harrington, Lieutenant Colonel Joseph McRee, and Major McKane; the company officers under whom this declarant served were, Captain John Beverly, Lieutenant Elias Willburn, and Ensign Samuel Willburn (this declarant still being a resident of Wilkes County North Carolina); That upon enlisting this declarant marched with his regiment & company through the counties of Burke and Rutherford in the state of North Carolina, and from thence into the Cherokee Indian Country on Tennessee River. That this expedition was under the command of General Charles McRee with whom this declarant was intimately acquainted; - That after a service of three months under the engagement this declarant was regularly discharged and returned home.
This declarant also in February in the year 1782 entered the service of the United States as a volunteer, in a light horse company of rangers, under the command of Captain Finney, Lieutenant Miller & Ensign or Corporal Galenwood, (still being a resident of Wilkes Co. N.C.) That after enlistment this declarant and the company to which he belonged marched from the county where he then resided i.e. Wilkes through Burke & Rutherford in the state of North Carolina, thence through Pendleton in South Carolina; and from thence to Franklin in the state of Georgia, the names of the intermediate counties between the two last named are forgotten; - That on arriving at Franklin county in the state of Georgia as aforesaid, this declarant & the company to which he belonged were stationed there for something above like three months; at the expiration of which time this declarant was discharged. That this discharge as well as those which he previously received he has since lost by inattention to their preservation never having expected to be able to avail himself of the benefit of

them until the passage of the late act of Congress.
This declarant hath no documentary evidence of his service and knows of no person whose testimony he can procure to testify for him. He hereby relinquishes every claim to a pension or annuity except the present & declares that his name is not on the agency of any state.
And in answer to the interrogatories here now propounded unto him by the Court, this declarant saith:—
1. That he was born in Albemarle County in the state of Virginia  North Carolina in the year 17.65. as he is informed & believes. 2. That he hath no record of his age. 3. That when called into the service of the United States he was a resident of Wilks County North Carolina, where he resided until the year 1811. when he removed to Butler county Ohio, where he remained until the year 1821. when he removed to Johnson county Indiana where he now lives. 4. That for the first engagement of service he was drafted; and for second & third he was a volunteer. 5. There were no regular officers with the troops with whom he served. 7. That he is known to William G. Bates all of Virginia and Joseph Young, who can testify as to his veracity.
