DECLARATION
IN ORDER TO OBTAIN THE BENEFIT OF THE ACT OF CONGRESS PASSED JUNE 7 1832.
State of Tennessee, } ss.
County of Williamson }
On this 6th day of September personally appeared in open Court, before the Justice of the County Court of said county, Isaac Lane a resident of said county and state, aged about 72 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, 1832.
That he entered the service of the United States under the following named officers, and served as herein stated.
He entered the service in the State Troops of Virginia, as he believes, some time in the month of June, as well as he recollects, in the year 1776, in Pittsylvania County, Virginia, under Captain Peter Perkins, lieutenant, Jesse Beard, ensign forsooth. It was declared and understood that he entered this service by enlistment for six  three months, but as to the mode of entering the service, he may have been mistaken, as he was only 16 years old the 14th of February preceding his engagement. The company assembled at Captain Perkins's and remained there several days; thence they were marched through Petersburg, crossed James River at Deep Bottom; thence to Williamsburg, where they were when Independence was declared; thence to Yorktown; thence they were taken across a large river, and marched over that river to where the British lay in Governor's Island, situate nearly or quite in sight of the place where the said river empties into Chesapeake Bay. At this place they were stationed to prevent the landing of the British troops and to prevent communication between the British and Negroes, there being a great multitude, whom they could. The British vessels lay in the Bay several weeks in sight of the position occupied by Captain Perkins, who at last procured several pieces of cannon, when a cannonade between our forces and the vessels ensued and was continued about 12 hours in all, during which two of the British vessels were burnt in one night, and the rest made their escape. The British were commanded by Lt. Dunmore. The company remained in this place for several weeks, until it appeared that the enemy had entirely abandoned the country where it was ordered against the Cherokees in the expedition commanded by Col. Christie. The company, after receiving this order, was marched to the place where Washington City was formerly, where they stayed a few days receiving their pay and  and provisions, and then returned to their homes, where the men were permitted to rest a few days at home, and recruit their clothing. The declarant sickened, and was confined till the next spring, but the rest of the company, under Jesse Beard - Perkins remaining at home - followed Christie to the West.
Declarant, with his father, now moved from Pittsylvania, to Washington County North Carolina, and settled near the mouth of Malaga, about 9 miles from where Jonesboro now stands. While here, declarant served two times of 10 days each as a volunteer under Captain William Bean, against the Tories, under a Captain Schenckly or Schenckly, who had been commissioned by the Tories to raise the Tories in these parts, but was prevented from doing it by these little expeditions. Captain Grimes, of the Tories, had raised a company, and had killed Schenckly and had a great deal more mischief, against whom his company the second of the above expeditions of Bean's was directed, and succeeded to fire as to all Grimes & disperse his Company, who fled and joined the Tories, now men in North Carolina. Grimes was killed by James Hodd, afterwards Col. Hodd. About the first of September, as declarant believes, 1780, he was drafted as a soldier, to go on the expedition against the British, which ended in the Battle of Kings Mountain, for 3 months as far as he recollects, under Captain George Russell. Declarant himself was

commanded by Col. Lewis, a lieutenant of the Company. The Company was assembled upon Buffalo Creek upon the 12th of Oct. They were marched in the direction of Kings Mountain, but did not reach the battle until after it was over. They were there at the battle except the Company, who were the Company by one night. I cannot say to how many men, but the Washington Troop, under Lewis, the Sullivan Troop under Shelb, and the Holston Troop under Campbell were all concentrated at Buffalo Creek one time or other, and remained as aforesaid. Of these men there were 500 hundred in foot, the rest were Cavalry. These 500 were then "led" towards Kings Mountain by Major Hamilton, to the Corps which belonged, but was not in the battle, because the foot Corps could not reach the Mountain till the battle was already over. Ferguson and his men were there at the battle. When it was over, it was said by an officer commanding here that the battle had been fought. These 500 Corps then went more than 10 or 12 miles from the field of battle where not to be the enemy, and reached the Mountain the same evening. The prisoners were marched to Little River where to a Col. Walker was a place of settlement and where a Court martial was held over some of the prisoners who were condemned to the number perhaps of 50 or 60, to be hung as traitors, or having broken parole. Some of the condemned were a number of officers. In one instance a private was condemned and hung for breaking parole, and among them Col. Williams who had broken his parole. When it was known that the whole force of the enemy was within 12 miles of us, we suddenly decamped with our prisoners, about 700 in number, when we fought with North Carolina men to the upper country, where and where we had been of a different nature to return from, but we did not reach it.

Dear Sir:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the records of Isaac Lane who enlisted in the month of June, 1778 in Pittsylvania County, Virginia, wife, Sarah Russell, and "Colonel" Thomas Russell, the father of Sarah Russell, who married Isaac Lane.
In order to identify the record of the Thomas Russell in whom you are interested, some of the following data in regard to him are essential-approximate dates of birth and death, and places of residence at enlistment and after service.
The data which follow in regard to Isaac Lane were obtained from the papers on file in claims for pension and bounty land under File No. R. 6137, based upon his service in the Revolutionary War.
Isaac Lane was born February 14, 1760, place not stated, nor were the names of his parents given.
While a resident of Pittsylvania County, Virginia, Isaac Lane enlisted sometime in June, 1778, served two months and twenty days as private in Captain Peter Perkins' Virginia company. He moved to Washington County, North Carolina, near the mouth of Watauga River, about nine miles from the site of Jonesboro, Tennessee, he enlisted in 1779 and served fourteen days as private in Captain William Bean's North Carolina company. He served from September 1, 1780, three months and fifteen days as lieutenant in Captains George Russell's and Thomas Jarnagin's com-

panies, Colonel Sevier's North Carolina regiment, and was in a battle at the head of Boyd's Creek.
Isaac Lane moved from Watauga County, to Grainger County, thence to Claiborne County, and from there to McMinn County, Tennessee.
He was allowed pension on his application executed September 5, 1832, at which time he was living in McMinn County, Tennessee.
Isaac Lane married in the month of May, 1782, in Washington County, North Carolina, Sarah Russell. The date and place of her birth and names of parents were not given, nor was it stated that the Captain George Russell under whom Isaac Lane served in 1780 was a relative of the said Sarah Russell.
Isaac Lane died November 9, 1851, in McMinn County, Tennessee.
His widow, Sarah Lane, was allowed one hundred sixty acres of bounty land on her application executed April 14, 1855, at which time she was aged about ninety-five years, and living in McMinn County, Tennessee.
Reference was made to children of Isaac Lane and his wife, Sarah, but the only name designated was that of a son, Tidance C. Lane, who was living in 1844 in McMinn County, Tennessee, his age not stated. Reference was made, also, to one Russell Lane, but his relationship to the family was not shown.
The papers on file in these claims contain no further discernible data in regard to family.
If you desire information in regard to location of the land referred to above, you should apply to The Commissioner of the General Land Office, this city, and furnish the following data-

App. for Incarnate
Elizabeth
Anna & Lane

To the Pension Office Department Washington City.
Isaac Lane, a citizen of the county of McMinn and State of Tennessee, humbly represents that he is a Revolutionary soldier and has been drawing a pension for several years; That when he filed his declaration for a pension, he stated therein, that he had served three months as a private and at least one month and fifteen days as a first Lieutenant commissioned, under Captain George Russell in the Service that terminated in the battle of Kings Mountain. And also served one month and fifteen days in the office of Lieutenant in the company commanded by Captain Thomas Farnagin, in the Cherokee expedition and was in the battle at the head of Boyd's Creek. Your petitioner further states that his commission as an officer had been laid away amongst other papers and had been unintentionally destroyed, and the department not having the necessary proof before them of the loss of said commission as Lieutenant, petitioner was only allowed pay of a pension as a private soldier. Your petitioner hereto annexes the proof as to the once existence of said commission, and the loss of it; and petitioner most respectfully prays that his pay from the government as a pensioner be increased from the pay of a common private soldier to that of a Lieutenant in deference of American liberty in the Revolutionary war, and that he be paid and permitted to draw the difference between the pay of a private soldier and a lieutenant in the army of the revolution from the time he filed his original declaration for a pension or from the date he was permitted to draw his pension and this he will ever pray &c.

Carolina; and for such service I claim a pension. I have no documentary evidence of this service, and cannot produce any testimony other than my own recollection of the above particulars. My discharge mentioned in the above declaration was  lost  long since  lost was lost to North Carolina as evidence of my service, preliminary to my receiving a pension under the laws of that state, and have never been returned. My commission as lieutenant has been lost.

++ Not long after the battle of Kings mountain, and before, declarant had received his discharge for that tour, he volunteered, at the call of Sevier, to go on an expedition against the Cherokees, who had assembled a force of about 400 men, and were advancing into the upper part of what is now East Tennessee. His captain was Thomas Farnagin, declarant himself lieutenant. The men assembled at a place called Lick creek in a part of the country not then settled according to the appointment of Sevier. The whole force did not exceed 300 men. We marched to Boyd creek in Blount County where we met the Indians, who to the number of 400 were charged by Sevier with not more than 40 men who had volunteered to advance with him, a small distance into the Indian country, under the impression that the Indians had retreated. But they had not left the main body more than a mile before they were led into an ambush by Indians. But Sevier extricated the troops, and charged the Indians killing 17 of them number, and putting the rest to flight, without any loss, tho' a few were wounded. Declarant was in this charge. It has been said that Sevier was a coward, but declarant thinks that

a coward at the head of 40 men, would not have charged 400 Indians with drawn sword, as Sevier did on that occasion. Sevier thought it most prudent to retreat to French Broad, and reinforce, which was done, and the troops marched into the Indian country and reached Chota, a celebrated Cherokee town of Little Tennessee on Christmas day after the battle of Kingsmountain. At Chota, the troops were divided into 3 divisions, which scoured the country, killing the Indians, burning their towns & destroying their property, after which the troops were discharged. Declarant got his discharge from Col. Sevier at the same time for the last and the Kingsmountain tour. By a mistake of Sevier, declarant, who served as a lieutenant, was discharged as a private. Declarant removed from Wataga to Grainger County; thence to Claiborne County; thence to McMinn County Tennessee, and he has no acquaintances in McMinn County, though there are a few in some other counties, by whom he could prove and perhaps that all of the foregoing facts.

I have the honor to inform you that the application of Isaac Lane for an increase of pension upon proof that he held the Commission of a Lieut. during a part of the service for which his pension was granted has been examined & disallowed. — It is an established rule of the Dept that the grade of a Commissioned Officer must be sustained by record or documentary proof and the claimant has not complied with the rule —

Sir,
I have been informed that, papers in the case of Isaac Lane of McMinn Co. Ten. asking a pension as a first Lieut. and, instead of the amt. allowed as a private - which he is now receiving - have been forwarded to the Secretary of War. If they have not miscarried, I presume the Secretary has caused them to be sent to you. I have been requested by Mr. Lane - who is one of my constituents - to make inquiry on the subject, and give him information of the progress and decision &c.
The gentlemen who have - as I am informed - signed these papers, are citizens of the very best standing in that part of Tennessee, and equal in moral character to any citizens of any country, and are ent itled to the fullest credit for what they state.
You will please do me the favour to examine this case - if it has reached your office - and report to me as early as you possible can, as the old gentleman is very anxious to know the decision.
I am Sir,
Respectfully,

The Application of Sarah Lane widow of Isaac of Tennessee has been recieved and filed under the act of July 29 1848. The proof of marriage is not satisfactory. Application should be made to the clerk of the County in which she was married for such evidence of the date of that event as he may possess. If he has no evidence of it, then parol testimony will be recieved, but the witnesses must show how they are enabled to fix the date. A certificate of Court must be furnished, showing the date of her husband's death. — I return the original pension certificate that it may be furnished forwarded to the Office of the 3 d Auditor with proper proof of his death, that his widow may recieve the arrearages of pension due, from the last payment to the date of his death.

Sir,
The additional evidence in the case of Sarah Lane widow of Isaac of Tennessee, has been received.
The date of the marriage of Sarah and Isaac has not been established. It has been asserted by Sarah and also by her witness Mary Jaragin that it took place in May 1752, but Mary Jaragin in her last affidavit declares it occurred "about the year 1778" that she and was, at the wedding and remembers the date because she was fifteen years old at the time.

BRIEF objections to the admission of Pension Claims, of which those answered in the negative, in red ink, will apply to the claim of Isaac Lane which require further proof or explanation.
I. Does the declaration show where the applicant resides? Yes II. Did the declarant make the declaration in the county where he resides? Yes III> III. If the applicant did not make the declaration in the county where he resides, is there any reason assigned for his not doing so? IV. Has the declarant mentioned the period or periods of the war when he served? V. * Has he mentioned with precision the length of his service, and the different grades in which he served, in language so definite as to enable the department to determine to what amount of pension he is entitled? No VI. Has he given the names of the officers under whom he served, in conformity with the regulations? Yes VII. Has he made a relinquishment of every claim to any other pension than the one under the Act of June 7, 1832? Yes VIII. Has the Court given their opinion? Yes IX. Has the Clerk given his certificate? Yes X. Is the Clerk's seal affixed? And if so, has it a device or inscription by which it can be distinguished from any other seal? Yes

XI. Has the applicant obtained the evidence of a clergyman and another respectable citizen as to their belief respecting his age and the general belief in his neighborhood relative to his revolutionary service? Yes
XII. If the clergyman's affidavit has not been produced, is there any reason assigned for not obtaining it?
XIII. If the applicant has no documentary evidence, and has not obtained the testimony of at least one living witness, has he stated in his declaration that such proof cannot be had? No
XIV. †If the applicant's name is not found on the rolls of military service, has he produced a witness or witnesses as to his service?
If he has produced direct proof as to service, has the magistrate who administered the oath, certified to the credibility of the witness or witnesses?
Has the proper officer certified to the official character and signature of the magistrate as the regulations direct?
XV. Does it appear from any of the papers that the witness was in such a situation, or of such an age, as to have a personal knowledge of the applicant's service?
XVI. †Are the papers authenticated as the regulations direct? No
XVII. Are the seven interrogatories prescribed by the War Department answered satisfactorily? And, if not, which of them is not so answered?
EXPLANATORY NOTES.
* QUERE V. In a case where the applicant cannot, by reason of the loss of memory, state precisely how long he served, he should amend his declaration by making an affidavit in the following words:
"Personally appeared before me, the undersigned, a Justice of the Peace, &c. A. B. who, being duly sworn, deposeth and 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 below, and in the following grades; For _____ year _____ months, and _____ days, I served as a _____ For _____ months and _____ days, I served as a _____; and for such service I claim a pension.

It is important in all cases to determine with precision the period for which each applicant served, and the particular rank he held, as the law directs the pension to be paid according to the grade of the pensioner and the length of his service. The use of the phrase about three or four months is too indefinite, and all such qualifying expressions are objectionable. Some persons who apply for pensions merely state they served two years in the militia, &c. without specifying the tours; the names of the officers, and other particulars respecting their service. This form of a declaration is highly objectionable. It must in every case be clearly shown under what officers the applicant served; the duration of each term of engagement; the particular place or places where the service was performed; that the applicant served with an embodied corps called into service by competent authority; that he was either in the field or in garrison; and for the time during which the service was performed, he was not employed in any civil pursuit.
QUERE XIV.  Proof of Service.
In a case where the name of the applicant is not found on the records of the Department, he must prove his service by two credible witnesses, who are required to set forth in their affidavits the time of the claimants entering the service, and the time and manner of his leaving the same, as well as the regiment, company, and line to which he belonged. The magistrate who may administer the oaths must certify to the credibility of the witnesses, and the official character and signature of the magistrate must be certified by the proper officer, under his seal of office.
QUERE XVI.  Mode of authenticating papers.
In every instance where the certificate of the certifying officer who authenticates the papers is not written on the same sheet of paper which contains the affidavit, or other paper authenticated, the certificate must be attached thereto by a piece of tape or narrow ribbon, the ends of which must pass under the seal of office of the certifying officer, so as to prevent any paper from being improperly attached to the certificate.
In every case where the clerk of the court, or other certifying officer, has no public seal of office, the certificate of a member of congress, proving the official character and signature of the certifying officer, should accompany the papers.

Sir
Your letter addressed to the Hon d J. M. Blackwell concerning the subject of my application for an increase of my pension on account of my having served in the Revolution as a Ser t , has been enclosed to me by that gentleman and is now before me. I am thankful to you for the attention you have already bestowed upon it, and ask the privilege of you to give it an after examina- -tion. It seems from your letter that you have established a rule by which parol proof is not sufficient to procure such pension as I am. If I am not under mistake that was not the case when I first made application; the law required documentary proof if we could pro- -duce it. If that could not be got, then living wit- -nesses were sufficient to establish our claim, but when that could not be procured, our claim could be sustained upon an oath with only as in a breach of the gospel that we were men of character and should be believed. The latter was my case and I complied with it, and have since my pension upon it. At the time I first applied I was required by the proper authorities to produce my correspondence & all other proof that I had, and had or held such a commission and that it had been destroyed. I did not comply with the request at that time not knowing I was able to make the proof and did not know until recently that I could make the proof I did in my late application, which you now have and which I thought, from the instructions given me heretofore and the law on the subject would

be amply sufficient for our comfort which I would have honestly, glad had proved to be the case.
I have no expectation to in a day or in my grand here a few brief years more and for the short interval of my days I only ask that Justice & think due to those who take a hand in achieving the happy form of government under which we all in common are
You can see from my late petition that I have been that I live are held in my pension such a country as was given to last all those soldiers were that it was destroyed by one of my family and every thing else that I thought the pension law requir- ed me to procure an increase in my pension for that as a private to a general but it seems I was mistaken. If there has been any new law on the subject that requires documentary evidence to establish my claim you will be so kind as to point it out to me. That being the case I shall should I like to the consideration of an other Congress petition that honorable body to pass a law to cover my case. It is true when I parted my life in the service of my country I was not promised by the hope of money. I glory to say I was influenced by much higher motives. I was then young and vigorous but I am now old and feeble and I have lived to see my country. The first on the untold globe and will able to mark my declining days as early as many can start. And I only ask Justice at her hands that grants. I will leave the rest before long testifying my Truth, uprightness and great soul.

Dear Sir : In Re Issaac Lane; Revolutionary Soldier.
I will thank you to advise me if you have any record of the service of the above party in the Revolutionary War. My information is that he drew a pension, and that he, in his last days, went to Knoxville, Tennessee to draw the same. I am, also, informed that his son fought in the war, and each received an honorable discharge.
I am a direct descendant of Mr. Lane, and want to get his record, if possible, and will thank you for any such information as the records show.
Yours truly,
(Mrs) W. R. Landrum

Personal request of Oct 2, 1915-

Greetings to the Pension Department Washington D.C.
I was told that such accurate account was kept that any soldier can be traced. so I make bold to write asking for the record of my Great Grandfather Isaac Lane & my Grandfather Joab Hill.
Isaac Lane fought in the Revolution in 1780 from the South. Was in Marion's Army Went in private and for capturing two British by home he said I surrounded them. He was made a Colonel. he drew

petition at Jacksonville Tenn. years afterwards
Am not sure I remember dates but think Sarah Hill went from Tenn. in 1814 to defend New Orleans in Andrew Jackson's Army. On the second war for Independence
Any information of these two ancestors would be very gladly received. If I have written to the wrong Department please tell me where I should apply for their Record
