He states further that

He was again called upon to perform a tour of three months, at the time the Prisoners were removed to Albemarle, after the surrender to Washington at Appomattox, & performed a three months tour of duty at that time at Said Barric which was commenced in January 1877 that tour commenced & ended March of same year being three months. In addition to which he when again called upon in the fall of 1878 to perform a tour of duty and had a man by the name of Hawkins to go & perform a tour, for which he gave him a horse & the same fall he removed from Virginia to the Western part of North Carolina, (now Tennessee) & settled on the border of the Cherokee Indians, where said Cherokees were almost daily making incursions into the neighborhood killing & plundering & depredating on the inhabitants, inasmuch that the Country was a theatre of war, & a fort or station was kept up at his house on Nolichucky, where he shielded & guarded the frontier, from the time he came to the Country until the close of the war and is very confident he served in the Revolutionary war fifteen months altogether in proper season but of the time he was constantly out three months.

in regular duty, said Service was under Col Service who had the command of the militia at that time. He states that he served in proper person fourteen months exclusive of keeping Fort Sp and exclusive of the time which he kept in service a substitute, for which he claims a pension. That he has no documentary evidence nor does he know of any living witness by whom he can establish his services, but that Samuel Mack & Brooks H Bell of of said County — are persons known to him & he believes by whom he can establish his said service, that there is no minister of the Gospel in his vicinity by whom he can establish the facts required by the regulations of the War Department. He states that his name is not on the roll of the agency of any State. He hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension except the present, that from age and bodily infirmity he is rendered incapable of attending Court in order to obtain the provisions of the act of Congress of June 1832.
