State of South Carolina Edgefield District.
By John Jenkins Esquire judge of the Court of Ordinary for the district and State aforesaid
To all to whom these pre- sents shall come Greeting;
Know ye that Joseph Farbow resident in the district and State aforesaid did this day appear before me and make oath upon the holy Evan- gelist of Almighty God that he first enlisted in the United States army on the continental establishment in the revolutionary war for eighteen months under Capt. Thomas Harris of the Fourth Regiment of the North Car- olina troops, that James Hain was first lieutenant, John Gerruth the second lie- utenant and James Scott Ensign, Col. Poalk was the first Commander of the Regiment and Col. Phayton the next, on the last of March or the first of April 1776 - That he faith- fully served for the 18 months and enlisted for 18 months more but was only enabled by sickness to serve a part of the 2 d 18 months having hired his brother William Farbow to serve out the remainder of the time, which he did, and brought him this deponent's discharge in his own name and for himself, as his brother only served for him as a substitute, which discharge

he left in the hands of Robert Webb of Anson County N. Carolina, who said he would endeavor to get the bounty land to which this deponent was entitled, upon being thus discharged which he never got and only two or three months pay out of the whole due him. That he served the United in the battle at Bald-Head island below the mouth of Cape- Fear, and was at Wilmington, New- bern and in various scouting and guard parties - That after he was discharged honorably from the United States Service in the year 1779, he drew three months pay in the Militia making altogether nine months in which he was much disabled by his ankle being put out of joint, so as to keep him from active labor 12 years. This deponent further means that from his reduced circumstances in life he needs the aid of his Country for support.
In testimony that the said Joseph Burke did this day wake out of the truth of the above affidavit I have hereunto set my hand this 13 th day of June 1818.

I John Perkins judge of the court of Ordinary for the district aforesaid do hereby certify that from the evidence exhib- ited before me it appears to my satisfac-

tion that the within named Joseph Burke did serve in the revolutionary war for more than nine months as aforesaid State and that he is entitled to the benefit of the act of Congress passed the 18th day of March 1818, made and provided in such cases. —*
Given under my hand and the seal of the Court of Ordinary which I have caused to be hereunto affixed this 13 th day of June in the year of our Lord 1818 and in the forty second year of American independence.

* I do further certify that I am satisfied that the said Joseph Burke is in such reduced circumstances in life as to need the aid of his Country for support.
