State of Tennessee Maury County
Personally appeared before me James T. Lee the clerk and justice of the peace in and for said county. John King with whom I am personally acquainted and being first sworn deposes as follows That he is acquainted with Lemina Bone who is making application for a pension and to which application is attached this deposition. He states that he did not see said Lemina and said William Bone married. But he knows they were reputed to have married in Maury County Tennessee in August 1819. That affiant was frequently at their house after that time and that they lived together as man & wife until sometime in the year 1825 when said William Bone died in Nelson County Tennessee. That said Lemina Bone never married after the death of said William but is still a widow. Affiant is in his 69 th year of age and he has known said William Bone from his earliest recollection when he first knew him said William Bone resided in Iredell County North Carolina. This must have been as early as the year 1800 and may have been sooner. Affiant was born and raised within three miles of said William Bone. He was always reputed by those who knew him to be

a revolutionary soldier That he has frequently heard William Bone speak of being in the Battle at Ramsour's Mill The Battle near Camden sometimes called the Battle of the gum swamp and also of being at the Battle on the Catawba at the old Salina Ford He has frequently heard said William Bone and others who were said to have been there talking over together what happened in those battles and said William Bone has time and time again told of and about his being in the above mentioned Battles sworn to and subscribed before me This 28 th day of Feb. 1856

State of Tennessee May 6 th 1873
John King a citizen of May 6 th 1873 makes oath that he knew William Bone the husband of Lemina Bone who is now making application to the govern- ment of the United States for a pension for the services of her said husband during the revolu- tionary war. Witness states that he is now in his 69 th year. Witness was born in Rowan County, North Carolina and within a few miles of where William Bone the husband of said Lemina then lived. That said William Bone resided in said County as early as witness can remember any thing. And witness information is that said Bone resided in said County of Rowan when he was engaged in the military service of the United States and witness feels satisfied that he is the same William Bone who was paid the bounty by the State of North Carolina having heard the said William talk often times of being in said service and while said William lived he was always regarded by his acquaintances as a revolutionary soldier. The County of Rowan was divided and after said division said William Bone and witness were thrown into what is now Fredell County N.C. That said Bone resided in North Carolina until about 1810 when said Bone moved

To Wilson County Tennessee where he resided until the day of his death. My Father was also engaged in said service and he and William Bone were both in the said company. He has heard his father and said Bone talk the matter over and over time and time again sworn to and subscribed before me this 7 th day of June 1856
