On this twenty sixth day of June in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and eighteen personally appeared before me Thomas Emerson one of the circuit Judges in and for the State of aforesaid David Grant who being duly sworn by me made the following declaration on oath in order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress entitled "An act to provide for certain persons engaged in the Land and Naval Service of the United States in the Revolutionary War"
That he the said David Grant is a citizen of the State of Tennessee resident in the County of Carter & is aged about fifty eight years to the best of his knowledge & belief. That in the Month of February 1776 he enlisted for the War in Captain John Armstrong's company in the Second Regiment of the North Carolina Line commanded by Col. Alexander Martin that said company was afterwards commanded by Captain Robert Fenner. That he continued to serve in said Corps or in the service of the United States until the year 1779 or 1780 when he received an honorable discharge.

at Constitution Island near West point in consequence of a certificate of his inability to serve longer, given by Doctor John Cochrane Surgeon General. That he was in the Battle of Brandy Wine & Germantown. That during the time of his Service he contracted a disease which in a great measure deprives him of the use of his limbs from which he has never yet recovered, that in consequence of his inability to labor he is in very reduced & indigent circumstances and stands in need of the assistance of his country for support. That he has lost his discharge so that he cannot now produce it and that he has no other evidence than his own oath now in his power to prove his Service but supposes this declaration relative thereto will be supported by the rolls of the Army. He also states that from the year 1800 until the year 1815. or 1816 time he has received a pension of Two Dollars & fifty Cents per month to which he is yet entitled but whether said Pension was granted by the United States or the State of North Carolina he does not know. which pension if it is required he hereby relinquishes in considera- tion of his receiving the provision made by the Act of Congress above referred to this known to & subscribed before me Thos.
