the same Col W m Grayson. About harvest he was again permitted to return home to get in the harvest, where he remained about two weeks as nearly as he can now recollect, and was then again called out, and returned to Alexandria, and there continued in the service under the said Col W m Grayson until or near the Christmas following when he was discharged from service as above stated; that he served under the above enlistment and in said Grayson's Regiment as aforesaid about fourteen months with the exception of the two absences above stated. that he received a discharge signed by said Captain Simon Sniplett which he has lost, he knows not; that in and during the above service he was in no considerable battle, but was in a skirmish when and where the British attempted to land a little above Hampton; he was also when in the Militia service in another skirmish at Richmond when Manchester on the opposite side of the River was burnt. Herefor the on his oath declares and states that in the spring of that year in the fall of which Lord Cornwallis was taken at Yorktown; he entered the service again in the Militia of the United States in the Virginia troops or militia and served in such militia under the following named officers, viz, Major Samuel Cox & Captain Peter Humphreys; that he resided in said Loudoun County when he entered the said Militia Service; that he marched from said County to Fredericksburgh, on the Rappahannock; thence to Williamsburgh near James River - thence to Yorktown; thence back to Williamsburgh: Thence to Richmond; that while he lay at the last named place Manchester on the opposite side of the River was burnt by the enemy; that Genl.

That he has not in his power or possession any documentary evidence to prove his service other than the deposition of one Anthony Ethell now on file in the Pension Department to which he refers.

Anthony Ethells affidavit
James Hagerman application for pension.

State of Virginia } County of Loudoun } Ss.
Anthony Ethell, this day personally appeared before me, the subscriber a Justice of the peace for the county aforesaid, & made Oath, in due form of law, that he is now a pensioner for services rendered in the war of the Revolution; that he was well acquainted with James Hagerman, now of the State of Ohio, & served with him in the said war of the Revolution as follows: They enlisted together under Capt. Simon Triplet in the County of Loudoun in the month of September 1775, and rendezvoused in the neighborhood of Cantreville in the said County (but now in the County of Fairfax) in the month of November following, and after remaining & being mustered there for about two weeks, (during which about two weeks at Dumfries) they marched to William Burg in Virginia, in the Regiment, commanded by Col. W m Grayson, where they remained about one week, as well as affiant can recollect - from thence they marched to Hampton, & remained there, in camp, in the said Regiment, commanded by Col. Grayson, until the 1 st of April following, or a day or two from that time: - They were then dismissed, liable to be called out again at a minute's notice. Hagerman & affiant returned to their homes, & remained there until about the latter part of May following, when they were called, & went to Alexandria, and there joined the same Regiment, which was there assembled. There they remained, in the service, until the harvest was about ripe, when they were permitted to return to their homes, and save their harvests, which they did; and in the course of two or three weeks from the time of harvest commencing, which affiant thinks, was about 20 June, they were again

again called out & went to Alexandria, and there remain- -ed in the service, under the same Col. Grayson, until Christmas, following, when the Regiment was discharged. And they the said Ethell & Hagerman returned home. Hagerman was not in the Army afterwards to the knowledge of affiant, tho' he thinks it very probable he was out again in the Militia service. Hagerman had no furlough during the time mentioned as having been in the service, but was a faithful & efficient soldier.
