Rev. D. Edwards
Mr. Sir
I recd yours of the 7th ult. requesting me to state by what authority I served as a soldier in the revolutionary war, from which you would like to pay my pay. Now, Sir, the truth of the matter is this, I served by the proper authority, as I thought, General Rist (Percy) was Commander in Chief of the Militia, where I lived and I believe by his orders the Militia were divided into four divisions, I fell in the 3rd division & when it came to the time for the division to which I stood to stand a draft, the Captain proposed to the Company to lay down money on the arms had which was done & then call for volunteers to turn out & the money should be equally divided among us & I was one that turned out & the money was divided, & I got three dollars for my share which I do declare & simply was all the pay I ever got from the Public, I got a horse from Mr. Whitley for serving his term which horse I sold in the light horse company under Capt. Garrison, & I lost the horse (I had to return to the British). From the time I considered myself a soldier I obeyed the officers under which I was placed from time to time, till the term stated in the declaration I believe some longer. But I can't remember the exact time, and I had rather be under them still, the truth is I did when we had orders to rendezvous at Kingston, Dobb County (N.C.) by order & there we were stationed some length of time, but how long I can't remember. Nor why it was that Col. Johnson's Regiment did not march sooner than they did I don't know, but I remember that I was permitted to go home, & when I got home found my friend that was going out to Bladen County, to Col. Thos. Brink Army, went out under Capt. Thos. Page & then served under Col. Brown & Major Peterson, to the last of the summer. Part of time I was marching part stationed in a little town called Elizabeth (Bladen County) N.C. Part of the time we were stationed in Fayetteville then called Cross Creek town, in Cumberland County, N.C. for all the time I was there no discharge, & while I was at the last place mentioned I was ordered to return home, as the Company was in war about to go to another place, & it was proper for me to go to my County where I resided (Wayne) I obeyed orders & went to Kingston again to join Col. Bryan's Regiment, & marched & served the term of the

duty for which I first turned out, making those marches under those officers until the time mentioned in my former declaration. (But I think before this time, Genl. Cornwallis, had assigned the Genl. M c Call, had taken it by his authority and under his immediate command. If the truth be so, I served, to the last moment, my father's name. I was drafted & rather than hastened for I have my mother & the little children. I went & served his time time in the tour after marching as stated in my former declaration, we found Genl. M c Call at Guilford Court House & to Car- in pursuit of Cornwallis to Hamsburg Mills where I was discharged. I went home, and to my mortification Cornwallis was then in our County and I had to take the Swamp a few days, and as soon as I could (which was but a few days) I went to Prof d Griffith's Company & took the place of Mr. Whitley and served his tour & was discharged, when I immediately joined the light horse as before stated and after being being discharged by Capt. Harrison & by the authority of Genl. Cornwallis, there was a Company of light horse to be raised in each County and as I did not wish to be compelled by a draft to defend the cause of liberty, I turned out again as a volunteer & served that capacity until the close of the war, as I have stated in my declar- ation. You request me to state all the particulars. But I cannot remember any other transactions of importance, than I have already stated. I have declared in plain terms to the best of my recollec- tion, the authority by which I served my Country as a soldier. You also request me to state from what source I derived my pay. (My answer is None) for I left Wayne County in 1783. and never expected to get any pay, therefore never sought it till now, & would not now do it if I was able to live without it, But I am old & afflicted and very needy and as it is my right for which I risked my life I shall be very glad to receive it, Not only my pension but also my my pay if admissible, Yrs Obedt Servant Nathan Grantham

15 th of May 1882
I was in Simpson when I rec d a letter from you requesting me to state more what authority I served as a soldier in the revolution war. Also to state from what source I received my pay. (and as for a poor gentleman and near there to be well, I should be the other to a friend who lived there & requested him to send you an answer for you) which he said, "would do that right, but I don't know, he was to pay in his house and obliged away so I gave him three directions and left your letter with him and I am sure the letter that he wrote to you. But I fear that he made a misrepresentation as you have misunderstood the matter. Before I point out the mistake read then state the facts, I mistake that I served more than year in service and only received three dollars pay; & that I served as a partisan soldier by mutual consent with some others to protect each other against the Tories; and now in stating the facts I hope to make the matter plain to be understood; I don't say that it was his given in actual service, I only meant by succession that one hour of duty succeeded another; from the time that I first turned out as a volunteer, till May or March 1862; including something more than two years, the I expect that I was not succeeding two thirds of that time in actual service as a soldier. Now when I turn out as a volunteer, (then it was that I got the three dollars that was spoken of (as a bounty and not as pay) and I went as a volunteer & served under Col. Benjamin till after getting defeated at Camden S.C. all that time was lost to me for it did not exonerate me from standing my draft according to the military law, as stated in your letter, therefore I did stand a draft and was drafted for three months, and served my time under Col. Benjamin Axum, and was discharged by him; and about that time my father James Grantham was drafted for three months, and I was let as a substitute in his place & went & served his time; this was the time that we took

that long & tedious march and at last found General Green at Gilpin C.H. & C. of march under him to Ramsour's Mills on Red River and there I was discharged & went home and about that time William Willey was drafted for three months, and he employed me to take his place, and I served his time under Maj. Hardy Griffin and was discharged by him and went home again; and General Williams will commanded in person a body of horse about 200 when they were all together - which were kept in operation to annoy the British under Major Craig, who were come out of returning and were ravaging that country on the way to Newbern. I and I had a good horse which was subject to fireh. in the light horse, I concluded to ride him myself & did so, and served in the light horse till the time before stated. I admit your statement of the pay being regulated by law for the soldiers; but what it was or how it was to be obtained I know not - one thing I remember, hearing some talk about the soldiers indent, but I do solemnly declare that I never had an indent and that I can recollect, I know that I was entitled to pay, but and some person might draw my pay for all that I know, but if they did it was without my consent or knowledge. But I'm not ask- ing for pay. I'm only asking for my right as a pensioner which Congress has guaranteed to me, which I make no doubt but you will send it, or give me instructions when and how to obtain it. your compliance will be gratefully acknowledged by your Humble Servant
P.S. where it is stated in the declaration (wrote by) Nathan Grantham Mr. Deloney served two or three months at a time. - on the instant that I was out from home that long but our time was not recorded till we marched from the place of rendezvous.
