Barron, who then gave him his discharge from his said service and undertaking aforesaid said War then being considered as ended. And he further states that he was in the battle fought between the American and British forces at Petersburg Virginia which is the only one he recollects being in, that he was at the siege of York in Virginia part of the time but was not there at the taking of Cornwallis, he being then in the town of Hanover sick in the hospital there — that he hath now no evidence in his power of his said service, that his discharge has been lost or mislaid and out of his possession to procure, that he hath no child or children with whom he lives.
