Martin Bannarek. — Applicant.
I the undersigned Martin Bannarek, having been examined by Mr. S. Bingleton, Agent of the War Department, for a statement of my age & Revolutionery Services, do give you the following to wit:
I can't tell my age. I was 21 years old when Cornwallis was captured at Yorktown, which I believe was in 1781. — I was raised in Albemarle county Va. & lived in that county during the war of the Revolution — Whilst King George Prisoners were at the Albemarle Barracks, I can't tell in what year this was, I enlisted under Ensign Taylor, & received $10. bounty. was attached to Capt. Burrell's company, and remained at the Albemarle Barracks for a three years guarding King George Prisoners. there were several Captains success in the guard. the whole under the command of Col. Taylor for a while — and afterwards under Col. Forester — my enlistment was for no fixed period. — by its terms I seem to remain in service, as long as the Prisoners remained at the Barracks and no longer when the Prisoners were removed. I got my discharge after serving two or three years as a life state guarding the Prisoners at Albemarle Barracks. — after the service. (I can't tell in what year) I was drafted for three months. Went from Albemarle under Capt. Hawkins, to Rockwood, Williamsburg, and the Rappahannock Ford at the latter place found Genl. Wayne's army and went on with it to Yorktown. was there when Cornwallis surrendered to Genl. Washington. — I got my discharge for my services which are now recorded — the following comprises all the service I have. I give you all the details with my declaration to which I gave the same narrative in substance that I now,

guio. perhaps not so particularly. I know no one living to whom I can prove my services. And did I at the time of making my original declaration. In testimony of all which I hereto subscribe my name. Jan'y 6. 1835

Note - The statement given by this man is in my opinion sufficient of its depth more than he is an important. - his manners, and countenance, of detecting satisfied man that he never was in the war with Rev. James Hays - his character I understand is by no means good -
