That he entered the service of the United States under the Command of Captain Gipson Cluett of the Virginia militia in the County of Gloucester and State of Virginia before he was Sixteen years old, and served under him from time to time until after the Surrender of Lord Cornwallis at York Town.
He served at one time continuously for several months when the British Man of War, the Bonita came up York River in 1781.
At the time of the Siege at York the Company to which he was attached, was stationed on the eastern side of Sarah's Creek, at Perrin's a short distance from Gloucester town watching the move- ments of the British forces at that place.
That he served in all at least two years, but was never in a regular action, though he was in a Smart Skirmish with the light horse a little above Gloucester town near Shurleys .
His services were chiefly in Gloucester, but was twice sent to York and Williamsburg .
Belonging to the State militia he was at all times liable to be called out and was ac- —

dingly from time to time. That no discharge was ever granted and of course he has none to produce but in evidence of his services he refers to the annexed certificates of witnesses. He hereby relinquishes every claim to a pension or annuity except the present and declares that his name is not on the pension roll of the agency of any state.
