He removed to Granville County North Carolina about the year 1780 where he resided when he was called into service and continued to under there about two years when he returned to Lunenburgh County State of Virginia in the vicinity of where he was born where he continued to reside for about seven years after the commencement of the war when he removed to South Carolina and settled in Ninety six District near port now called Polyfield where he resided about two years when he removed to what is now called Newberry District

but which at that time formed a part of Ninety six District where he has continued to reside ever since. He entered the Service of the United States under the following named officers and served as hereinafter stated, but cannot be possessed as to the names of all the officers under whom he actually served from the great lapse of time and the decay of memory. He went into the service as a volunteer under Capt Richard Harrison the reg't was commanded by Maj William Gile and Col Taylor, Maj William Gile commanded but a short time and was succeeded by another Major whose name he does not now recollect in the early part of February in the 1781 and continued in the service three months, during this time he was also under the command of Capt Hicks and Capt Harris, when he entered the service he was marched from Harrisburg to North Carolina to Flat River thence retreated back to Harrisburg thence to Granville Court House returned again to Harrisburg and thence to Guilford.

inspected and found able to travel about the first of May, but does not now recollect from whom he received his discharge which has been lost or destroyed. Subsequent to this time of service this applicant was enrolled in the Militia of South Carolina and in the early part of September in the year 1781 was drafted and went into service under the command of Capt Waller and in the reg't com- manded by Maj Cook and Col Joseph Taylor.
