Sir,
The declaration of Robert Bar Bury has been examined. He alleges to have volunteered in April 1777 in Virginia in Capt Vanmeter's Co. & Col. Pendleton's reg t , and marched to the defense of the Indian frontier of Virginia, and that he served four months and twenty two days. He also alleges that in October 1781 he volunteered under Col. Pendleton, having no company officers, and that he marched to meet the prisoners at Fredericksburg and then met the prisoners taken at Yorktown where he assisted to guard at Winchester, and that he was discharged about the last of November. The militia of Virginia did not serve more than three months under an engagement, and as Cornwallis's army was not taken prisoners until late in October the applicant could not in that town have served more than one month. Service The act of 7 June 1832 provides for none who did not perform six months actual service. The claim has therefore been rejected as the papers filed in this office.
