Before his service had expired as aforesaid his captain the said Francis Moore was appointed Major in said Regiment & one Jones became his Captain - He received a written discharge signed by Colonel Robert Mayhew which was at said Town of Charlotte as well as he remembers in 1779 - but as his memory is now very imperfect can not be at all pre- cise as to dates, after his discharge he settled in Chatham County North Carolina & after living there some time but a short

time he was drafted into a company of the Militia of the said State of North Carolina, commanded by Jacob Bucklin in which company Absalom Bryant was Lieutenant in the Regiment commanded by Philip Alston - That he was marched with said troops to Hillsboro & shortly afterwards was in the skirmish with the Tories under Fannin - At that skirmish he was commanded by Colonel Robert Maybin, said skirmish took place near Lendley's Mills - Upon reflection however this Turner of duty was after he served a term of five months as follows - whilst a resident of said County of Chatham & as well as he recollects in the year 1780 he was drafted into the Company of the Militia of said State commanded by Captain William Gant  Ambrose Ramsey in the Regiment commanded by Colonel Ambrose Ramsey  Ambrose Ramsey  William Gant & that he was marched with said Regiment & joined the division of the Army under General Caswell with whom he marched & joined the main Army under General Gates - shortly before his defeat, that he was at the Battle of Gates's Defeat when the Troops to which he belonged were dispersed & he returned home. He was drafted for the term of five months on this occasion but served only about three months before he returned home. That it was after his return home on this occasion that he was marched in the militia service first above stated in which he served three months - That again & a little before the close of the war he went as a volunteer in the company of mounted men commanded by Joseph Beek, that he did not then join any regiment on this occasion, but merely did duty in the Counties of Chatham & Randolph in said State, in suppressing the Tories & acting as a guard on prisoners etc. That he was engaged three months on this service - That he was born in Brunswick County State of Virginia in June 1760 he has no recollection of his age & recollects it from frequently hearing his father state it often he was grown - After the Revolutionary War he moved into the County of Martin North Carolina where he lived

until 1808 when he moved to Wilson County Tennessee thence to Rutherford Thence in 1816 to Madison County & in 1818 he moved into Limestone County State of Alabama where he has lived ever since & still resides -

BRIEF objections to the admission of Pension Claims, of which those answered in the negative, in red ink, will apply to the claim of Joseph Mitchell 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. 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? yes  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? yes  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? yes. XIV. †If the applicant has produced a witness or witnesses as to his service, has the magistrate who administered the oath certified that he, she, or they are persons of credibility? Has the official character and signature of the magistrate been certified by the proper officer under his seal of office? 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? yes XVII. Are the seven interrogatories prescribed by the War Department answered satisfactorily? And, if not, which of them is not so answered? yes.
 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 the 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.
† 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 authenticated 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 end 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.

Tell Mr. Bradford that the error originated in the Auditor's Office, not in the Pension Office (16)

Yours etc. Green Ely
Yrs etc. Green Edge (Scarb), a worthy Pensioner in my immediate neighborhood, wishes me to write to the Secretary of War, to have his name, disbursed transferred from the Pension list in Sumter County Alabama, to Desoto County in this state, as the Pension Agent here informs him this arrangement is necessary before he can draw his Pension in this state. Now as I am unacquainted with the Secretary of War, and the necessary forms of such business, I would thank you if you can spare the time to attend to this matter immediately. Mr. Mitchell is a worthy & pious Man very old and infirm with nothing to support him but his pension which is $80 per annum paid Semi Annually, (Wag) on the 4 of March & 4 of Sept I have all the requisite certificates now before me and you may rest assured that there is no misstatement or fraud in this matter. I have also taken the Deposition of David Mitchell his son the son in law and Daughter of the late Mr. Mitchell the now living, to the identity of his son as the same disbursed Mitchell who is named in the certificate of James M. Cass Secretary of War and Rear Admiral J. P. Edwards, stating that James Mitchell who was a private in the War of the Revolution is entitled to receive $80 per

Annuity during his natural life, commencing on the 4th day of March 1831, and payable Semi Annually. He  the  latter  man came to this State from Alabama some 18 months since & has not received any part of his pension since that time. As soon as you receive this letter you will be necessary to furnish any other testimony to the Department in order to obtain the transfer Please to advise me of it, and will send you what is due yours in the next week or so. I am Yours Affectionately Wm. Lloyd
16 Such is our destitute situation in regards Post Office as that I did not receive your letter written to me last August until some time in Nov. on the Route which is now traveled by the mail stage from Memphis to Des Plaines there is now one Post Office last which is supplied by the mail stage papers from Memphis to LaGrange Tenn, and that is now supplied by the same mail, now it is very hard for the people on our Road to be kept up with the news when it cannot benefit others.

Sir,
There is an old pensioner, named  in the Pease Mitchell, residing in Neshoba County in this State, who was on the Roll of the Misspi Agency, when payments were made at Natchez. Since the removal of the Agency to Jackson, payment of Mr. Mitchell's pension has been refused on the ground that his name is not on the Roll.
I have before me a letter of the 3 d Auditor to the Hon. Jacob Thompson dated 9 th Jany 1842 from which I extract the following, which shows that Mr. Mitchell was on the roll at Natchez & ought to be on that at Jackson.
"The agent at Natchez is hereby authorized to pay you or the pensioner his pension from the 4 th Sep r 1841 to 4 th Sep r 1842 on the surrender of this letter with a receipt, both of which will be returned by him to this office as his voucher."
I request you to instruct the Agent at Jackson to place Mr. Mitchell's name on his roll & to pay him upon the production of the proper vouchers, his pension from the 4 th Sep r 1841.
