State of Kentucky Christian County S.S.
On this day the 4 th September 1832 personally appeared in open court before the justices of the County of Christian and State aforesaid Isaac Stroud a resident of said County and state aforesaid, aged seventy one years who being duly sworn according to law, doth on his oath make the following declaration that he may obtain the benefit of the act of Congress passed June 7 1832.
1759 Isaac Stroud states that he was born May 4 th 1759 in Orange County State of North Carolina as his record of his age in his house testifies. That in the month of September & year of 1780 he was drafted in the County of Orange to serve three months. That Colonel of Chatham County issued a proclamation that such as would volunteer in a horse company & serve under him for three months should be released from the draft. He availed himself of the advantages of the proclamation & joined Lettelle's Company in Chatham county and aided in building the Barracks on El Lettelle plantation. During this service was much engaged upon the line between the States of North & South Carolina and upon McCloudons creek took a British Captain together with 8 or ten Tories out of twenty eight whom he had under his command & sent them to Hillsborough. Took several Tories at different times & in some instances whipped & in others sent them as prisoners to Hillsborough. Some time after this another draft was ordered in Orange & the Captain proposed that as he wanted only five men that they should beat up for volunteers. He Stroud & 4 others volunteered & joined the Company of Capt. Wharton or Horton he does not know

exactly how he spelled his name and marched to Hillsboro to protect the legislature & keep in check the celebrated Col. David Fanning who had upon one occasion taken Hillsboro, and before the term for which he had volunteered expired he was discharged. He then substituted for one Philip Pope under the command of Major Joel Lewis & Capt. Simon Troutman. His Colonel Long he never saw. His first discharge he sold to Lieutenant Raper. His second he never obtained & he doesn't know that he ever thought of his third but if he had he has lost a discharge. His services were mostly in Chatham & Orange counties with an occasional trip to Haw & Deep rivers.
He is well known to Thos. Barnett, John Bradley John Lockhart Thomas Dunkinson & John Babbitt his neighbors who will testify as to his veracity —
He hereby disclaims all claims whatever to a pension or annuity except the present and declares his name is not on the pension roll of any agency in the United States —

Personally appeared before me the undersigned a justice of the peace in & for said county Isaac Stroud who being duly sworn deponeth & saith, that by reason of old age and the consequent loss of memory, he cannot swear positively as to the precise length of his service but according to the best of his recollection he served not less than the periods mentioned herein and the following grades: For three months I served as a private volunteer in Wittrock company of horse. For two and fifteen days months I served as a volunteer private in Capt Whorton or Horton's company and for two and 15 days months, as a substitute for Philip (Pope) in and as a sub. sergeant Horton's company & for such service I claim a pension - Isaac Stroud further states that he has no living witness to testify as to his service & his documentary evidence viz 1st & 3rd Discharges he lost & the second he never obtained because as he supposes the time had not fully expired for which he had volunteered - He would further state that there were no Regular or continental troops in the counties where he served whilst he was in service and that Col Loring was the commander of that district as far as he never saw him that he recollects. He would further state that with his last discharge terminated the service of the troops in the counties of William & Orange
