The State of South Carolina } City of Charleston. }
On this tenth — day of April personally appeared before the Recorder of the said City at the City Court of Charleston now in session at Charleston Margaret B Gruber a resident of the said City of Charleston in the District of Charleston and State of South Carolina aforesaid, aged Seventy eight- Years, who being first duly sworn according to law, doth, on her oath, make the following declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the provision made by the Act of Congress passed the fourth day of July Eighteen hundred and thirty six, and the Act explan- atory of said Act, passed the third day of March Eighteen hundred and thirty seven, That she was married to Daniel Cobin who was drafted on or about the twenty fifth day of January Seventeen hundred and Seventy nine into the service of the State of South Carolina during the revolutionary war, and sent out of the City of Charleston towards Beaufort in a company commanded as this deponent believes by Cap- tain Lushington, that he continued in service, until the third day of February in the same year, and was on that day engaged in the battle at Beaufort under Gen l . Moultrie, and from that time continued in said service, out of the City, until he returned with Gen l . Moul- trie's Army retreating before Gen l . Provost, into the City, and from thence until after the said Gen l . Provost had retired from the neighbourhood of the City of Charleston, until after the attack made by Gen l Lin- coln on the British Lines at Stone, which happened

on the twentieth day of June in the same Year. This deponent says she doth not know and does not think that the said Daniel Lobia was with Genl. Lincoln's Army at the attack on Stone, but believes he marched out of the City under Genl. Moultrie when he landed on James Island to co-operate with Genl. Lincoln, but arrived too late.
And this deponent further saith, that the said Daniel Lobia was in the City of Charleston during the whole of the Siege of the said City by Sir Henry Clinton, and did duty as a Militia Man during the whole Siege, until within a few days of the Surrender, just before which he was taken prisoner over at Haddrell's point, whither he had been sent under the orders of the Military authority in the said City, and that he remained a prisoner of war until after the fourteenth day of July seventeen hundred and eighty, when he took protection in consequence of having taken the Oath of Allegiance. And this deponent further saith, that she is very old and her own memory does not furnish her with the dates above mentioned, but she is informed that the histories of her Country show the said dates to be correct, and that she knows the facts stated to be correct. And that she claims a pension for the whole time of such services to wit, five months the first term in Seventeen hundred and Seventy nine /1779/, and four Months the second term in Seventeen hundred and eighty /1780/, in all nine months service.
She further declares, that she was married to the said Daniel Lobia on the seventeenth day of June Seventeen hundred and Seventy seven: that her husband the aforesaid Daniel Lobia

died on the twenty eighth day of January Seventeen hundred and ninety four: that she was afterwards married to the Christian Gruber who died on the day of December eighteen hundred and thirteen, And that she was a Widow on the fourth day of July Eighteen hundred and thirty six and still remains a Widow, as will fully appear by reference to the proof hereto annexed -
Sworn to and subscribed. . . MB Gruber on the day and year above written before!

Personally appeared before Nicholas Colia, a resident in the City of Charleston in the District and State of said, aged twenty eight years, who being duly sworn, saith that his said brother, was his elder brother, and was engaged as a militiaman in the action at Beaufort, on the third day of February, Seventeen hundred and thirty nine, as this deponent very well knows and recollects. The said deponent was at the time of said engagement with another detach- ment of the same army, on the opposite side of the river. And this deponent further says, that he understood at the time and very likely also, that his said brother Daniel Colia, was at a near stone at the time of the action there, in arms as a militiaman; as he was at the time with Genl. Lincoln's army, as with the militia who landed on James Island under Genl. Manly, and marched to Stone, he the deponent now cannot say, as he this deponent was at the time in another part of the country.
And this deponent further says, that Ma- rgaret B. Gyllee was the wife of his said brother Daniel Colia, and was married to him some time before the engagement at Beaufort, and that his said brother Daniel Colia died some time in the year Seventeen hundred and ninety four; and that his widow Margaret afterwards married Christian Gyllee, who died many years before the year Eighteen hundred and thirty six.
