David Hogan's Application for Revolutionary Pension Under the Act of 1832
Presented by W.B. Jarvis Columbus Ohio

State of Ohio County of Lawrence ss
On this 13 day of December A D 1831 before me one of the Judges of the Court of Common Pleas in and for said County and State personally appear- ed David Morgan aged Ninety-two years a resident of this County and concerning whom Scen- tury that he is prevented from appearing in open court by reason of extreme old age and bodily infirmary, and who, being duly sworn accor- ding to law doth on his oath make the fol- lowing declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the Act of Congress passed June 7 th 1832, That he entered the service of the United States in the war of the Revolution under the follow- ing named officers and served as herein men- tioned, That he was a private in the Company commanded by Captains John Sumpter, Walker, Ferguson & Edmanson, in the Regiment of North- Carolina Militia commanded by Colonel Mave- land. That he entered the service as a substitute for one William Goldsby who was drafted at Berk County North Carolina for the period of 18 months on or about the 1 st of April he thinks in 1779, and was attached to the Hanfield by Captain Sumpter, and on joining the Reg- iment was placed under the command of Captain Walker, as he thinks under whom he thinks he serv- ed some 3 or 4 months, was then commanded a few months by Captain Ferguson, and the remainder of the term was commanded by Captain Edmanson. That he cannot positive- ly state whether his Company after Capt. Sumpter left, was first commanded by Capt.

Mailer or Capt. Ferguson but that said cap- tains did each command the company several months after Capt. Sumpter gave up the command and before it was assumed by Captain Edmison. That during all of this his first term of duty he was commanded by Colonel Cleveland. That after he joined the Regiment they remained in the vicinity of the Hamfields about a month or two months, from thence they marched to the neighborhood of Can- den where they staid a short time, afterwards they marched into the neighborhood of a small town in Virginia the name of which he does not remember, but recollects that his Regiment was stationed in Carolina and separated from the town by a river the name of which he cannot recollect, and that they were stationed in the vicinity of said town the greater part of the win- ter, that from this place they went into the neighborhood of a place, called, he thinks Rd- ley, from thence to Ramsour's mill. That there are not the only places, to which he was march- ed, that he only mentions them as the princi- pal ones, and the ones where the Regiment was stationed the longest periods. That during all this term of duty he was actively engaged in suppressing and taking Tories. That the Reg- iment to which he belonged, marched through the greater portion of the Counties in the State in search of Tories. That when the Regiment

lay at any place companies were usually sent out scouting, through the country, and if they took any Tories, they brought them into camp. That his company was particularly active in these scouting expeditions. That it was the principal business of his Regiment to overawe and keep in check the Tories, and, having dispersed them in one place they went to some other section of the country where they were unknown. That he was in the battle of Kings Mountain, in the way which his Regiment was joined by Colonel Shelby's Regiment and Colonel Pavey's Regiment afterwards by Col. Williams' Regiment and Col. Campbell's Regiment, near the Catawba River. That he thinks said battle took place on the 7 th of October A.D. 1780. That the English prisoners taken in said battle were given in charge of Colonels Campbell and Shelby, and marched North, the Tories being given in charge of Colonel Cleveland and marched into the interior of S. Carolina, near Camden and discharged on taking the oath of allegiance. He thinks Colonel Williams was killed in the battle. That he was honorably discharged near Camden receiving a written discharge from Col. Cleveland dated, he thinks October 29 th 1780. That on his way home he thinks the next day after he left the service as aforesaid, he met a company of Mounted men commanded by Colonel Lewis Major Lewis and Captain Foker into which he volunteered for an indefinite time, and was actively engaged in scouting through the State in search of Tories, and when any were taken they usually took them to Colonel Cleveland.

who discharged them on their taking the oath of allegiance. That after his said volunteering he continued in active service until the last of July A.D. 1781, when he was honorably discharged by Colonel Lewis, who wrote the discharge on the back of the one he had formerly received from Colonel Cleveland. That said discharge was, he thinks, destroyed by fire, some 35 or 40 years ago at Cabell Co. Virginia. That there were several persons who had seen his said discharge, but he does not know any one now living who has seen it. That he has no other documentary evidence to offer neither does he know of any person now living, by whom he can prove his said services. That the following persons were among others this affiant's fellow soldiers: Henry Gumpeter, Abram Southards, John Ferguson, Benjamin Williams, W m Parrel, who all served in the same Company during his first term, and Reuben Giddings, Thomas Step, Henry Step, and Robert Weatherford served in the same Regiment. That Benj Williams, William Parrel, Henry Gumpeter and Abram Southards were in the same mess with this affiant. That it is his impression and belief that Thomas Step & Robert Weatherford were at the time of their death in receipt of a pension from the United States, and respectfully refers the Department in support of this, his declaration to the proof produced by the said Step it being the same as would establish the claim of this declarant could it be now procured as the said Step performed the same kind of service as

The further states that he was never applied for a pension, prior to this present application nor did he know that there was any law making provision for pensions for soldiers some 8 or 10 years ago, since which time he has neglected to apply.
This declarant performed in his first war and was discharged at the same time with this declarant. That he cannot recollect the names of any of his fellow soldiers in his last war except William Parrish, who volunteered and received his discharge at the same time that he (the declarant) did. He further states that he lived at the time of entering the service as aforesaid with his father in Burke County N.C. and was a farmer by occupation. That he was between 18 and 19 years of age, some 5 feet 4 1/2 inches in height with dark eyes and black hair. That the first after peace was made he removed from Burke Co. to the State of Kentucky, in what was afterwards called Lincoln County and afterwards Madison Co. and lived there several years, when he removed to Russell Co. Va. where he resided some 2 years when he removed into Carroll Co. Va. and resided some 4 years. Thence into Butler Co. Ohio where he resided about 2 years. Thence removed into Lawrence, now called Carter Co. Kentucky, where he resided until August 20 th 1851 when he removed into Lawrence Co. Ohio where he now resides.
He hereby relinquishes every claim whatever 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.

Dear Sir
As a stranger I wish to have a few words with you in regard to a pension claim that has been presented to your consideration by a Mr. Jarvis of who has been making pretensions to get for some time say July 51- for a Mr David Hogan as a Revolutionist.
Mr Jarvis has given but little or no satisfaction about it and the old gentleman has gotten me to drop a few lines to the office hoping to hear what has been done in the case wheather he has collected it or not if not pleas hold on untill you hear further about it pleas send word what disposition has been made of it
Yours S. Respectfully

Sir,
Enclosed find Certificate from the Comptroller of the State of South Carolina.
The Department has informed me that there is no satisfactory reason on file why David Hagan did not apply for a pension a long time ago. There is a very good reason which can be given. A greater difficulty is in the way. Mr. Hagan does not say in his application I believe, that he served in Capt. Campbell's Company. Would it not be advisable for him to make a more minute & detailed application? He is now about 95 years of age, and never learned to write or read, but can give a great many interesting particulars of his Military services. To the Com. of the Pension Dept. C. H.

Sir: From the within papers you will see that it is very probable Mr. Davis has the power to take advantage of Mr. Davis Hogan with anticipation of presented by the refusal of the Pension Department to pay over any money if any should be due or certificate for money to said Davis as per written agreement. I understand from Hon. J. G. Coombs of Washington, who was informed by the Department, that Mr. Davis had been suspended as Agent for all legal malpractice. Mr. Bennett, who is the son-in-law of Hogan, wishes to know whether Mr. Davis is still prosecuting Hogan's claim, or if he is not, what any one is - He desires the Department to have nothing to do with Davis's concerning their claim.

Sir:
I have examined the application of David Hogan for the benefit of the Act of June 7, 1832. The alleged service is not sustained as required by our rules. It should be supported by Record evidence from the Office of the Comptroller of North Carolina, shewing that a Soldier of his name stands credited with service on his books and claimants identity with it established by the testimony of comrades, or other evidence equally conclusive. The reasons assigned for his delay in asserting his claim are not satisfactory, as he could not well have remained ignorant that he was entitled to a pension for his Revolutionary services if they were as meritorious as alleged.

Sir
Some 10 or 15 years ago Thomas J. Ford was endeavouring to establish the right of David Hogan of Carter County to pension, pay &c. on account of military services performed in the Revolution. The circumstance created some sensation, and no little talk. There were persons then who boldly declared he had never served in the Revolutionary, that he was too young a man, and two persons who are said to be still living in Greenup, professed to have known him from his boyhood and they declared he had never served an hour in that war. Hogan always bore the character of a bad man. To promote the ends of justice I desire you to furnish me with the names of any witnesses, or witnesses by whom he proved, or may hereafter prove his services, the term and title of the court before which the proof was made, and such other proof or facts as you deem necessary to enable me to investigate the matter, for the purpose of finding out whether it be a fraudulent claim or not. Should I find the claim a fraudulent one, I will lay before you the result of my investigation. The war closed in 1783, and if he was only 18 years old then, he is 91 years old now. He does not look at as if he was that old by several years.
I am Sir, Very Respectfully, Your obt. Servt.

That they have been, severally, well acquainted with David Hogan of Lawrence County Ohio, who has ap- plied for a pension under the act of Congress passed June 7 th 1832, for the respective periods set opposite their names. That during that time he has universally been reputed to have been in the Revolutionary War, and this reputation never has been disputed to their know- ledge. That they cannot entertain a reasonable doubt but that the said David Hogan served as he states, having frequently heard his narrate circumstances connected with said ser- vice, which he could not possibly have known unless present at the time of their transaction, and these facts have been fully corroborated from other, and authentic sources. That they be- lieve him to be 92 years of age. That he is a man of undoubted veracity, and that they are entirely disinterested in this matter being only influenced in stating these facts by a conviction that the said David Hogan is legally and equitably entitled to the ben- efit of the Revolutionary Pension Laws of the

United States.
