County of Person & State of North Carolina -
On this 15 th day of March 1830 personally appeared in the County Court of Pleas & Quarter Sessions, for the county of Person - The same being a court of record, having been expressly constituted such by an act of the General Assembly passed in the year 1777 - & possessing all the attributes belonging to such courts, in & for the county aforesaid - W Austin Bartlett a resident in said county, aged 74 years who being first duly sworn on the Holy Gospels of God, doth on his oath, make the following declaration, in order to obtain the provision made by the acts of Congress of the 18 th March 1818, and the 1 st of May 1820: That he the said W Austin Bartlett enlisted for the term of two years on or about the last of February 1776 in the town of Hillsborough & State of North Carolina, in the company commanded by Captain Archibald Lytle, in the regiment commanded by Col Taylor in the line of North Carolina on the continental establishment: That he continued to serve in the said corps until the month of — A.D. 1778 when he was discharged from the service, at Hanover Court House in the State of Virginia - That afterwards in the year 1781, he was drafted as a militia- for nine months. man from the county of Hanover in the State of Virginia, & served in the company commanded by Captain John Anderson, in the regiment commanded by Col. William Dandridge in the line of the

State of Virginia: That he continued to serve in the said corps until the month of November in the same year, when after the surrender of Lord Cornwallis, he was discharged from the service at Yorktown in the State of Virginia: That he hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension except the present: That his name is not on the roll of any other States except those of North Carolina & Virginia: And that the following are the reasons for not making an earlier application for a pension - viz This declarant was ignorant of the provisions made by Law for the soldiers of the Revolution until about six or seven years ago, when he was induced from information received to make inquiries upon the subject - Upon inquiry among his fellow soldiers he could find no one having claims of the same kind with his own who had obtained a pension - and being then in the possession of property which enabled him to live comfortably, he declined making further inquiry - having since parted with his property in the payment of just debts, he has endeavoured to get some person to make application for him, but owing to causes over which this declarant had no control he has not been able to succeed until now - This declarant was unwilling to throw himself upon the charity of his country but he is now old, & enfeebled with years, & impoverished in his estate, whereby such charity has become necessary - And in pursuance of the act of the 1st of May 1820 I do solemnly swear that I was a resident

citizen of the United States on the 18 th day of March 1818, and that I have not since that time by gift, sale, or in any manner disposed of my property or any part thereof, with intent thereby as to diminish it as to bring myself within the provisions of an act of Congress entitled "An act to provide for certain persons engaged in the land & naval service of the United States in the Revolutionary War" passed on the 18 th day of March 1818: And that I have not, nor has any person for trust for me any property or securities, contracts or debts due to me: Nor have I any income other than what is contained in the schedule hereto annexed & by me subscribed. That since the 18 th of March 1818 the following changes have been made in my property. I was then seised of a tract of land containing _____ acres or thereabouts. Which has passed from me as follows. I justly owed to Samuel Rainey a store account of $ _____ upon which said Rainey obtained judgment & sued out execution, which was levied on my land. On the day advertised for its sale, I agreed with one Alexander Gordon to sell to him 60 acres of the land for the sum of $60 dollars, which satisfied the execution. a copy of the said conveyance for sale is hereto appended marked A. The aforesaid sum of $60- was paid by said Gordon in satisfaction of the execution of the said Rainey. The said Rainey has since removed to the State of Tennessee so that his affidavit of this fact cannot be obtained.

The balance of the aforesaid tract of land 'Twit one Hundred & ten acres I conveyed  Nelson to my son Hastin Bartlett by deed, a copy of which is hereunto appended, in consideration for the payment of certain debts which he had discharged for me, And for a further sum not now recollected, to be paid to me by the said Nelson. The said Nelson has since conveyed the lands aforesaid in payment of debts & it is now owned by the aforesaid Alexander Gordon. I parted with these lands with much reluctance, & was only induced to do so by the pressure of debts. I do further declare on oath that I was not at all moved to dispose of them by a desire to have myself placed on the Pension List. My family consists of a wife aged Bartlett about sixty, a son, the aforesaid Nelson Bartlett, aged upwards of thirty, a daughter Susan aged 25 years or more & three grand children William, Caroline, & Isaac, Bartlett The eldest aged 16 years, orphans, who have been bound to me by the County Court of Person until they respectively attain the age of 21 years.

Dear Sir
Inclosed is the declaration of Sarah Clayton the widow of Coleman Clayton which is made for the purpose of enabling her to draw the pension money due her husband at his death which is about $35.00 I suppose. If her marriage is not satisfactorily established let me know & I will take the deposition of Abner Harrod who married them

I rec d a few days ago from you a letter in answer to one I had written you concerning the Declaration of the widow of Harter Bartlett in which you say she is not entitled to a pension under the act of 1836. but upon more satisfactory proof of the date of her marriage she may perhaps obtain one under the act of 1838. Will you inform me whether it is required that she should make another declaration or will the one she has made be sufficient by her making the proof required

Sir
Enclosed is the declaration of Elizabeth Bartlett the widow of Haslin Bartlett a revolutionary pension -er- filed under the act of Congress July 7 th 1838 In your letter to me of the 9 th Sep r 1839 you in- -formed me that the declaration filed under the act 4 th July 1836 would not enable her to obtain a pension under the act 7 th July 1838 - she has therefore filed this declaration - but I have not retaken the depositions of those persons whose depositions were sent on with the de- -claration filed under the act of July 4 th 1836 because they live at a distance & it is very inconvenient to take them - but chiefly because I thought as they are spread upon the record of your office it would be as convenient for you to refer to them as if they accompanied this declaration - If however it be not, -er for the department to refer to them as they accompanied this declaration. if you will let me know I will have them retaken & will also endeavor to supply, if I can, any deficiency in the proof
