On the 25th day of September A.D. 1833. Personally appeared in open court before John Breiden Esq. and the official Judges of the court of Berks County, now sitting. William Dougherty a resident of Wolf Creek Township, in Berks County State of Pennsylvania, aged 78 years, who being duly sworn according to law, doth on his oath make the following declaration, in order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress passed June 7th 1832.
That he entered the service of the United States, under the following named officer, and served as herein stated.
That in addition to the one year and two months, which he served an enlisted soldier in Capt. Wm. Kieppys company in the years 1776 and 77. The evidence of which is on file in the war office, and for which he was placed on the Pension List by the Penn a Agency and stricken off again because he had at that time a little too much property. And for the same a Certificate of Pension has been granted, under the act of Congress of the 7th June 1832.
He states that he entered the service of the United States, a Volunteer, in Capt. Samuel Edwings company, in Col. Williams Regt. in South Carolina in district Ninety Six in June 1780 , we marched out towards the mountains to join Col. Shelby Col. Edmonston, and Campbell, when we joined them, soon after he was in the Battle of Kings Mountain. Here his Col. Williams was killed, but we defeated the British killed their Commanding Officer Ferguson, and took from 8 to 900 prisoners, & about 300 killed. Col. Hays then took command of the Regt. We then returned towards Ninety Six, some time in December. His Col. sent him out a Spy. and to meet him at a certain place. Shortly after he set out, the Enemy came on his Col. and routed the party, and instead of meeting him he fell into the hand of the Enemy, being a misty morning, and was made a prisoner. He hailed them they said they were friends to liberty, and that they were his own people until it was too late to escape, they took from him his horse Saddle & Bridle, a good Blanket, Rifle gun & Case of Pistol, all his property. They then took him to Ninety Six Jail, where they had a Guard, Commanded by one Greiger; he was a prisoner about three months, when he made his escape, from Charles Town, where he had been taken to, and lay about 3 weeks, two others with him escaped and in a short time joined General Sumpter. on the Congaree River, The British were reinforced at that time and we were obliged to retreat towards Charles Town, on the way we fell in with a party of the British Waggons, with supplies for their Forts in that part of the country and took them all, Waggons and men we then went to Genl. Griffiths Dwelling, and the next day had an engagement with the enemy, and had to retreat being too weak, we made way towards Camden, and he with some others joined his own Regt. Com d by Col. Hays and continued in the

Service until the Spring of 1782 a Volunteer the whole time, the Forces being more troublesome than the British, in them times. So that that he was in the service, a mounted Volunteer finding his own Horse and arms the whole time, from June 1780 until the last of April 1782, being in the service not less than one year and ten months in the Southern States, So that being added to the 14 th months he was enlisted makes three years, for which he claims a Pension.
Ques t . where and in what year were you born? Says he was born in York County Pennsylvania, in the year 1755. Says he saw his Father's record of his birth. When he enlisted he was living in Cumberland County Penn a . and when he volunteered he was living in South Carolina. Since the war he has lived in Pennsylvania and in Mercer County thirty years. Says he first entered the service by enlisting, and again by volunteering. and always served for himself; and would never hire to be shot at. Col Williams, Col Hoag, Col Campbell, Col Shelby, Col Coamont, Capt S. Ewing. with many others were in the service when he was -
Says he has no documentary testimony to prove his service, nor does he know of any living witness that can prove for him. When he left the service he got a written discharge and trap, but they are lost or destroyed as use- less long ago. &c -
He hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension or annuity, except the present, and declares that his name is not on the pension roll of the agency of state (except what he has stated, already in his declaration. his present certificate he will give up, on receiving a full pension

WILLIAM DAUGHERTY W. 3229 BA-J/MS am
Dear Sir:
Reference is made to your letters of recent date, in which you request the Revolutionary War records of William Daugherty (W. 3229) and of Thomas McCoy, born near Martinsburg, West Virginia, in 1754, and married Catherine Park.
There is no claim for pension or bounty land on file based upon service in the Revolution of a Thomas McCoy, or of any soldier with similar spelling of surname, as described by you. Such claims are the source of Revolutionary War data furnished by this office. You are furnished herein the record of William Daugherty, whose name appears also as Dougherty in the claim. The data therein were obtained from the papers on file in the claim for pension, W. 3229, based upon his service in the Revolutionary War.
William Daugherty was born in 1755 in York County, Pennsylvania; the names of his parents are not shown.
While residing in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, he enlisted about February, 1776, served as private in Captain William Rippy's company, Colonel Irvine's Pennsylvania regiment, was in the battle of Three Rivers near Quebec and was discharged after having served fourteen months, then returned to Carlisle, Pennsylvania. While residing in South Carolina, he volunteered in June, 1780, served as private in Captain Samuel Irwin's company, Colonels Williams' and Hayes' South Carolina regiments, was in the battle of Kings Mountain in which a large number of British were killed and taken prisoners. The soldier was afterwards taken prisoner and held three months at Ninety-Six and Charleston, whence he made his escape and served until the last of April, 1782.
The soldier was allowed pension on his application executed June 1, 1818, while residing in Wolf Creek Township, Mercer County, Pennsylvania, where he was still living in 1825, and where he died January 6, 1834.

William Daugherty married sometime in 1780 in Franklin County, Pennsylvania, Mary ____; her maiden name, date and place of birth and names of her parents are not shown. In 1820, her age was given as then sixty-two years. She died in Wolf Creek Township, Mercer County, Pennsylvania, February 25, 1848.
The following names of children of William Daugherty and his wife, Mary, are shown in the claim:
Elizabeth Daugherty, born December 1, 1781 Robert " " May 20, 1783 Margaret " " April 14, 1785 Mary Ann " " February 14, 1787 John " " April 19, 1789 James " " May 18, 1791 William " " June 24, 1793 Mary " " January 11, 1796 Sarah " " July 11, 1798 Joseph " " August 25, 1800
The only children who survived their mother, Mary Daugherty, were Mary Dunlap, wife of William Dunlap of Wolf Creek Township, Pennsylvania, and William Daugherty, who in 1853 was residing in Pine Township, Mercer County, Pennsylvania.
In 1854, one Jane Daugherty, aged fifty-two years, was a resident of Harrisville, Butler County, Pennsylvania, her relationship to soldier's family not stated.
In 1854, one J. D. McCoy witnessed the signatures of Alexander White and James Buchanan, of Pine Township, Mercer County, Pennsylvania, in an affidavit, but no relationship between any of the three was shown to the family.
Very truly yours
A. D. HILLER Executive Assistant to the Administrator
The reason I mentioned J. D. McCoy witness, was because of possible relationship to family as donor asked for record of Thomas McCoy.

Pension Office,
NOVEMBER 27, 1833.
The following rules for the government of the Agents in paying Pensioners have been transmitted to the Pension Agents from the Treasury Department, and they are now published for the information of the Pensioners.
JAMES L. EDWARDS, Commissioner of Pensions.
The following order will be observed in the several documents composing the voucher, viz:
1st. When application is made for the payment of a pension, the first thing that seems necessary, is that the identity of the person in whose behalf the pension is claimed, should be established. This must be done agreeably to the form marked A.
2d. Where a pensioner has neglected for one year, or more, to claim his pension, additional proof of his identity will be required; this additional proof will be furnished agreeably to the form marked B.
3d. When an Attorney shall make application for a pension, be the rank of the pensioner what it may , he must deposite with you a power of attorney in his favor, duly acknowledged, and dated on, or subsequent to the day on which the pension claimed became due, and within ninety days of the time of his applying for payment, and also his own affidavit that said power was not given him by reason of any sale, transfer, or mortgage of said pension. These papers must be made out in strict conformity to the form marked C.
4th. In all cases of payments upon a power of attorney, the Justice of the Peace or Magistrate before whom the power is executed, must have lodged with the Agent the certificate of the Clerk of some Court of Record, under seal of the Court, that he is legally authorized to act as such; and also a paper bearing his proper signature, certified to be such, by the Clerk of some Court of Record.
5th. It is advisable, and is so recommended, that Pension Agents procure and place in a book the signatures and seals of Clerks of the different Courts within

(2) their agency, who may be authorised to certify as to powers, the better to detect, by comparison of the signatures and seals, impositions that may be attempted.
6th. Under the provisions of the act of 2d March, 1829, requiring the arrears of pensions due to deceased pensioners, to be paid to their widows and children, the following rules have been adopted, viz:
In case of the death of any pensioner, the arrears of pension due to him at the time of his death must be paid,
I. "To the widow of the deceased pensioner, or to her attorney," proving herself to be such before a Court of Record.
II. If there be no widow, then to the child or children of the deceased pensioner, or to his, her, or their attorney, if of lawful age, or to his, her, or their guardian, or his attorney, if they are minors, upon proof before a Court of Record, of the necessary facts in each case.
III. If there be no widow, child, or children, then the amount due such pensioner at the time of his death, must be paid to the legal representatives of the decedent.
IV. When an Executor or Administrator shall apply for the pension due to a deceased person, he must deposit with you a certificate of the Clerk of the Court, Judge of Probate, Register of Wills, Ordinary or Surrogate, (as the case may be,) stating that he is duly authorized to act in that capacity on the estate of the deceased pensioner, and that it has been proved to his satisfaction that there is no widow, child, nor children of the said pensioner living.
7th. In all cases of payments being made of moneys due a deceased pensioner, the original pension certificate must be surrendered, as evidence of the identity of the person to whom the pension claimed was due, or other substantial evidence of such identity must be produced in case such certificate cannot be obtained for surrender, and that due search and enquiry have been made for said certificate, and that it cannot be found. The date of said pensioner's death must be proved before a Court of Record.
8th. A certificate of the facts proved must be obtained from the Clerk of the Court. It is not necessary for the Clerk to give the evidence in detail, but only to state the facts that have been proved, and certify under his seal of office, that the testimony adduced was satisfactory to the Court.
9th. When a pensioner is placed under guardianship, the Guardian applying for a pension must, in addition to the evidence of the pensioner's identity, deposit with you a certificate from the proper authority, that he is, at that time , acting in that capacity, and also satisfactory evidence that his ward was living at the date the pension claimed became due. The identity of the pensioner in such cases, must be established under the form marked D.

Form of the Clerk's Certificate alluded to in paragraph 4th of the Regulations.
Signature of the Magistrate, ( ) Just. Peace.
STATE OF } sst. County, }
I Clerk of the Court, of the county, and State aforesaid, do hereby certify that is a Justice of the Peace, in and for said county, duly commissioned and qualified; that his commission was dated on the day of 18 , and will expire on the day of 18 , and that his signature above written, is genuine.

Clerk.
REGULATIONS respecting the payments of arrears to the children of deceased Pensioners.
In a case where the residence of all the children of a deceased pensioner cannot be ascertained, those who are known to be living must prove their relationship to the deceased, before a Court of Record; they must show that the pensioner left no widow; that the children who are in parts unknown, have not been heard of for at least one full year, and that exertions have been made without success to ascertain their residence. Their names must be given. The Court must give a certificate containing the facts, and the Clerk of the Court must sign the same, and annex thereto his seal of office. In such a case the amount due will be paid to those who are known to be living; and all that is due must be paid at one time.
In a case where there is no widow, and the children who survive reside at a considerable distance from each other, and it is difficult, or impracticable, to obtain information or powers of attorney from those who live remote from the Pension Agency, the amount due to each child may be paid upon proper vouchers, when demanded, without requiring all the children to make application at the same time.

Sir
I have received your letter in regard to the application of William Dougherty in which you say that "it is the a very unhappy circumstance that when he applied for a pension for his services of one year and two months and which had been allowed that he should have neglected his services of one year and two months which he now claims"
The circumstances under which his application was made are as follows. His name had been on the pension list under a former law. He had to be struck off because that his property was more than the limit of those entitled to be placed on the list. He made application nothing was said of this last service so as much as it was not of that kind that was proper then to state. After the hope of that the late law Dougherty called on me to inform what was necessary for him to do in order to be placed on the list. I told him on paying his quantity he would be placed on the list without a new application. I did not know the character of his service nor its duration. This is the way the service was not stated - as soon as the defects come on the mistake was discovered and a letter written to you. The omission took place in

In his procuring his name to be placed on the list of subscribers on the old ledger without making out new ones - I note knowing at the time that all his money was not at forth - This was the reason and only reason that his whole money was not at first at forth - I should feel regret if his claim should be rejected on that account as I am persuaded that there was no fault in him -

History of Mercer County, Pennsylvania, printed in 1888 by Brown, Runk & Company, publishers, Chicago, Illinois, on page 572, under the topic of Pioneers of Pine Township reads:- "No record exists of any important settlements being made in the year 1799, although it is presumed that some must have been made.

Among them was William Daugherty, a Revolutionary Veteran, who came from South Carolina, and located on a four hundred (400) acre tract, upon which his grandson, John Daugherty, afterward resided."

Gentlemen:-
I would like a statement of the military record of William Daugherty a soldier of the Revolutionary War. I believe that his file number would be WF 3229.
I am trying to obtain for D. A. R. purposes the date of death and marriage of a daughter, Elizabeth who was born December 1st, 1781 and possibly received a pension and it might be you — would have the date of her death and marriage.
If you do not have this could you suggest how these old records are obtained for D. A. R. purposes?
Yours very truly,
Lloyd F. Weaver Lloyd F. Weaver.
