State of Virginia, - Campbell County } ss.
On this 10 th day of Sept 1832, personally ap- peared in Open Court, before the County Co- urt of Campbell County now sitting, Robert Cardwell, a resident of the County aforesaid, aged eighty five Years, who, being first duly sworn, ac- cording to law, doth make the following declara- tion, in order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress passed the 7 th June 1832, in relation to the Officers and Soldiers of the Revolution. He saith, that he entered the Service of the U.S. in the Year 1776, or 7, as a volunteer, under Capt. Dixon of Bedford County Va. and marched to the lead mines in the western part of the State, now Wythe County, to guard them from the Indians and Tories. This tour was two months; or perhaps more. His next service was in the militia, from Amherst County Va. as a private, in 1781, from whence he marched to Williamsburg Va. under Capt. Loren; and joined the army that besieged Little York under General Washington. His Colo's name was Richardson; and one Tucker was his Major: Genl. Lawson was his general under Washington. This tour was three months. He served again, during that Year in the militia from the same Coun- ty, in guarding the British prisoners taken at York, to New Chester, and at the place after they arrived. This tour was also three months. His time of service in all was eight months. He had lost his discharge, if ever had any; he has no written evidence whatever; nor does he know of any living witness, excepting Poindexter Patter- son, whose affidavit is here with filed.

He hereby relinquishes every claim whatsoever to a pension or annuity except the present; and declares that his name is not on the pension roll of the agency of any State what ever.
