State of Tennessee } ss County of Warren }
On this the 28th day of July 1834, personally appeared in open court, before the honorable James C. Mitchell now presiding and holding the Circuit Court for the County of Warren aforesaid now sitting, Jacob Beagle a resident in the County of Warren and State aforesaid, aged seventy nine years who being first duly sworn according to law doth on her oath, make the following declarations in order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress passed June the 7th, 1832.
That I entered the service of the United States under the following named officers and served as herein stated.
That in the month of August 1780, he does not recollect the precise day, he volunteered into the service of the United States for three months, he volunteered in Wilkesboro County State of North Carolina, mustered at Charlotte or near there to wit the Battlefields which is in South Carolina, he was attached to a company of Rangers commanded by Captain Marshall he thinks his given name was James does not remember the name of the Lieutenant, this company was attached to a regiment commanded by General Sumpter Col. Piper thinks his given name was Col. Col. and Major White thinks his given name was James. There was but the one regiment, from the Battlefields they were marched to Sugar Creek which is as he believes one of the head branches of the Catawba river, in search of and to keep the Tories in subjection, and then ranged up and down the Catawba river for the distance of twenty or thirty miles for the space of one month, at the expiration of which time the regiment he among them were permitted to return home, and stay there until again called out, which he did, and about four weeks after was ordered to join Captain Primer company of Rangers (with his given name was Frederick) at the junction of Buffalo and Rocky river in North Carolina, which he did and was forth with marched from there down Rocky river and ranged up and down and about the same for the space of one month at the expiration of which time the company were permitted to disperse and return home, and there remain until again called upon to complete their service; applicant returned home and there remained for some time he thinks five or six months tho' he does not remember the precise time, when he was ordered to move down at Broad River which he did and was there attached to a company of Rangers commanded by Captain John Cox, from there they were marched into Cumberland County State of North Carolina to the Big Sandy river and then ranged up and down and about the same for a considerable time to give security to the country against the ravages of the Tories during this time they took eight or nine Tories, he was continued in this service until the latter part of the winter or first part of the spring of 1781. He can not from old age and consequent loss of memory state the precise time when his term of three months expired, in the last trip he served one month and was brought back by Captain John Cox to return home which he did to Wilkesboro County State of North Carolina in three days he served at least three months, and he thinks the company was raised and left under the orders of Gen. Sumpter.

Shortly after his return home from the last above mentioned War, he moved his residence from McInturgh to Cumberland County in the State of North Carolina, some time after fixing his residence in the latter County he can not from the great length of time and loss of memory state the precise time the militia of Cumberland were ordered out for three months to reinforce General Greene's army as applicant understood, he applicant was drafted into the service for three months in the County last above mentioned some time for the year of 1781. he rendezvoused on Cross Creek about five miles from a little village then of that name, not far from the Cape Fear River, at this place he was attached to a company commanded by Captain Smith, he does not recollect his given name, nor does he remember the name of the Lieutenant, at this time Col Armstrong whose given name as he believes was James was at the place of rendezvous, no other company with them, the idea of marching this company to General Greene's Army was abandoned for what reason applicant does not know, it was ordered to be and was stationed at the place of Rendezvous and there remained for two months employed as rangers; and were then marched to the Grassy Island in Peele River a small distance below Fort Wades, in going to this place they crossed several creeks, they were employed ranging up and down the Peele River for some time and ultimately went to Pinhook Creek which is in South Carolina, but he does not recollect if he ever knew what County or district, here and at this time his term of three months expired and he having served at least that time was at this place as he thinks same time in the latter part of the year 1781. discharged from the service in writing by his Captain Smith. he then returned to his residence in Cumberland County State of North Carolina, this ended his military service. He served in all at least six months.
1. He was born on or near to the head waters of Deep River in the State of North Carolina, he does not now if he ever knew recollect the County in April 1758.
2. He never had a record of his age, he learned it from the information of his parents who had.
3. He was living in McInturgh County State of North Carolina when called into the service the first time and so continued until that term of service was completed, he then moved to Cumberland County State of North Carolina and lived there at the time he was called into the service upon the second term of three months. After the revolution was over, he moved back to McInturgh County State of North Carolina where he for several years, he then moved to Brimfield County in the same state and lived there several he thinks eight or ten years. He then moved to Wayne County State of Indiana where he now lives and has for some time.
4. The first term of his service was three months and volunteered into the service. The second term of three months was also volunteered into the service.

5. What he saw in the service in H'burgh some of the regulars came through there. He thinks it was a Pennsylvania regiment commanded as he more thinks by Col. Worthington, he saw them he does not believe that he saw any other regulars unless Col. Armstrong or General Shipton were there nor does he believe he saw any continental or matter regiments other than stated in the body of his declaration nor can he state any more of the general circumstances of his services than he has in the body of his declaration he is very old feeble and infirm in mind, which has greatly impaired his memory, from which circumstance he is unable to give as detailed an account of his services as he otherwise could, the time he was discharged from the last Power of Three months was about the time the British evacuated Councils, as he more believes.
For the first Power of Three months that he served he did not receive a discharge in writing. He did for the second Power of Three months, it was given to him by his Captain Smith it was or lost by accident whilst he was in Brunkirk.
7. There is no Gage man living near to him than about two miles viz John Walker, he is acquainted with him — He is acquainted with John Rogers, William Dugan here, Sherod Woodlee and others who live in his present neighborhood and who can and as he believes will testify to his character for veracity and of their belief of his services as a soldier of the revolution.
He hereby renounces every claim whatever to a pension or annuity except the present and he declares that his name is not in the pension roll of any agency in any state. Sworn to and subscribed the day and year aforesaid Jacob Boyle Jr Henderson clerk
We Sherod Woodlee and John Rogers hereby certify that we are well acquainted with Jacob Boyle who has subscribed and sworn to the above declaration; that we believe him to be seventy nine years of age that he is respected and beloved in the neighborhood where he resides as having been a soldier of the revolution and that we concur in their opinions.
