Declaration
In order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress passed 7 th of June 1832
On this fourth day of Feb y 1835 personally appeared before John B Grop, William C Dow and John G Chalmers Esquires justices presiding and holding the Court of Pleas & Quarters Sessions for the County of Madison in the State of Tennessee in open court John Moore, a resident of said County in the twenty second year of his age, who first being sworn according to law doth on his oath make the following declaration, in order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress passed 7 th of June 1832. That he was born in Lincoln County North Carolina on the 26 th of July 1783, his age was registered in a family bible of his father, and which is now in his possession. That in the month of February or March 1780 he volunteered as a militia man in the service of the United States for a three months tour, and under captain Matthias Harvey, and encamped at Singletown and marched under General William Caswell to the whip of Charleston, then expected to be besieged, he marched to Fayetteville, and provided ourselves with tents, cartridges boxes and ammunition thence crossing the Pedee to Camden, thence crossing the Congaree, and stopped at Santee river, which we reached about the middle of May, and while at the latter place were informed of the surrender of Charleston. Thence marched back to Camden, and thence to Fayetteville, where he remained

and were discharged after a service of four months and twenty six days. Genl. Gaskill, refused to discharge the affiant and others, until new levies should arrive, and consequently we were detained one month and twenty six days over our time. Shortly afterwards and during the same year, he volunteered under Captain Asaick Moore, and served twenty six days, when the Mays brig who commanded a body of British troops passed into North Carolina. The British were on the South side and affiant on the South side of Saint river the said brig and his troops were expected to cross the Saint river, but did not do so, and continued his march down the river, and consequently we did not meet with him. Afterwards he volunteered again under Captain Martin Gaskill, and served two months and twenty days, and for this service, was employed at Kingston in guarding the public magazines and stores. At the expiration of these several terms of duty, (making in the whole about eight months and twelve days,) he received regular discharges, but being an intitled man, and not knowing they would at any time be of any service to him, he has not preserved them. That he has no documentary evidence, that he knows of and knows of no person by whom he can prove his services - This declarant, lived in the said county of Lennox, at the time of his service, until the year 1832 and moved to this county

where he has resided since and now resides. This declarant was not engaged in service of any of the continental officers, nor did he serve with them to his knowledge.
