That in the year 1780 in the month of March, himself and his father's family, emigrated from near Brownstown in Pennsylvania, then called Redstone, and landed at the mouth Bear Grass near the falls of the Ohio. some time in the same month, upon our arrival we were informed by some of the men belonging to the Fort Commanded by Colonel Linn that if we did not immediately hurry to the fort, and take shelter therein, that we would all be killed by the Indians. we succeeded in getting into the fort, He Timothy Lorn was enrolled by order of Colonel Linn in Capt Richard Chronowith's company as one of guards of the fort, being beset by the Indians on every side during the summer and fall of the same year 1780, we continued fortified up until until the ensuing winter, some time in December when we had to remain at the Port holes of the fort night and day until the winter came on and the Indians retired, during the time we were fortified up in Linn's fort 12 or 14 persons were killed, principally hunters, our principal hunter Phillip Young was killed a short distance from the fort, the names of the others he does not recollect, he commenced his service in this Fort under Capt Chronowiths and Col. Linn in March 1780 and continued in close confinement until December of the same year, when this deponent was discharged by order of Col Linn. and himself and his Father's family removed to near on Shawnee run M c Gary's fort now Mercer County and was enrolled by Capt John Gordon, and drafted in the spring of 1781

He remained with his Father about two months, expecting him with his crops, he was again drafted under Capt Gordon to serve another Tour of one month at Denton's Station or Fort Col: McGary was our principal Commandant, he served out his Tour faithfully and was discharged and went home and was enrolled in Capt McMurtry's Com- -pany and drafted to serve a Tour of one month at Bryants Station, which Tour he served faithfully and returned home, Captains McMurtry and Gordon being killed by the Indians, Captain James Ray  Ray succeeded to the command in the place of Capt Gordon; he was again drafted in Captain Woods Company and served a Tour of one month under him at Denton's Station in the fall of the year 1782, he farther states that he served two other Tours at Denton's Station during the year 1782 under Captain Woods, besides these Tours of duty he served often with the scouting parties. As to the length of time engaged with the scouting parties it is impossible for him to tell, he will here recapitulate his services in 1780 he was in actual service posted up as a guard at Simms Station or Fort Nine months, in 1781 he served four Tours of duty as a drafted soldier, and in 1782 he served three Tours of duty as a drafted soldier, he solemnly swears that he served up- -wards of sixteen months hard service, he knows he received regular discharges from his officers, but being unable to read or write, they are lost or destroyed long since.

He hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension or annuity except the present, and declares that his name is not on the Roll pension Roll of the agency of any state.
