On this 2 nd day of October 1853, Michael Walton, personally appeared in open court, before the circuit Court of Wythe, who being first duly sworn, according to law, doth on his oath say, that from the general rumor of the country & from what he has heard many old citizens say, who are now dead, that he believes that John Corvin served during the Revolutionary War & also in the Indian War, & that Isaac Corvin is his legitimate son & heir. He knows no person living that can testify to the services of John Corvin, yet it is generally believed by the old inhabitants of the country that he did serve, & that Isaac Corvin is the son of the said John Corvin, & he makes this statement in order that the said Isaac Corvin may obtain any pension or bounty land that may be due his father, the said John Corvin, & that he the said Michael Walton has no interest whatever in it.
And the said Circuit Court of Wythe County doth hereby declare its opinion after the investigation of the matter, that the above named John Corvin did serve in the Wars mentioned & that the said Isaac Corvin is his legitimate son.
And the court further certifies that the said John Corvin died about thirty years ago & his widow Elizabeth Corvin died on the 10 th day of April 1850, & that Michael Walton who has testified to these facts, is a credible person, & that his statement is entitled to credit.
