Declaration of John Hall in order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress passed June 7 th 1832
State of Tennessee On this 6 th day of October 1835 Williamson County personally appeared in open court before us Nicholas Perkins John Hughes Elizah R Paris Justices of the court of pleas and quarter sessions for Williamson County now sitting John Hall a resident of said county & State aged 87 years who being first duly sworn according to law doth on his oath make the following declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the provisions of the act of Congress passed June the 7 th 1832. That he entered the service of the united states under the following named officers and served as herein stated
I was born in the year 1748 in King and Queen county Virginia I was first drafted into Capt William Drumright's company in the county of Middle W ee klenburg Virginia in the year 1778 as near as I can recollect The object of my being called out was to guard the Magazine on Roanoke River Paylors ferry. This tour consisted of 3 months during which time we guarded said Magazine under said Capt. I got a discharge signed by the Captain at the end of the tour, which is now lost.
I was next drafted into Capt Reuben Vaughan's company for six months while living in the same county W ee klenburg. This was in the year that Charleston was invaded 1780 as well as I recollect, and the object was to aid S Carolina in the defense of Charleston. We were marched to Granville Court house S Carolina where we encamped. Then we entered

the regiment commanded by Col Percy Burrell, and under General David Mason - We marched for Charleston and on our march at a town by the name of Charlotte some distance from Charleston we halted (e c) a small portion of the company I was in, in consequence of sickness while the main Army advanced Then I remained until my six months tour was expired when Col Polk a citizen of Charlotte who had been deputized to discharge us, when our time was out gave me a written disch- arge which I lost sometime after the war. I then returned home and served no more, except on small excursions for which I claim no reward, during the war, My first tour of 3 months and last of 6 months making 9 months service I claim a pension for. I have no documentary evidence of my service I know of no person living by whom I can prove my service, I know no officers under whom I served except those above mentioned. I do not recollect the number of the regiment my company was attached to in my last tour. I have no record of my age which was regis- tered in the parish of King and Queen County where I was born and lived till about 17 years of age My father moved with his family to Mecklenburg County Virginia. Here I lived until 1817 when I moved to Tennessee Rutherford County After living in Rutherford about 2 years. I moved to Williamson County Tennessee where I now live

and have been living ever since. I can state John R. Percy and Thos Pennington and John Gant who are acquainted with me and my character for veracity and a revolutionary soldier besides John Landrum the clergyman and Thomas Tannar and Jesse Bugg who certify for me. I would state that last Aug t 2 years ago, I came to town with a view to have my claim prosecuted, but owing to the crowded business of court and my infirmity, I was disappointed and now am induced to apply from some state pecuniary loss, and my belief of the justice of my claim. I hereby relinquish every claim whatever to a pension or annuity except the present, and declare my name is not on the pension roll of any agency in any state.
