Declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the Act of Congress passed June 7th: 1832.
State of Virginia Madison County, S. S.
In this 24th day of October 1833, personally appeared in open court, before the Justices of the County Court of Madison now sitting Burdett Harrison, a resident of Madison County Virginia, aged seventy five years, who being first duly sworn according to law, doth on his oath make the following declaration, in order to obtain the benefit of the Act of Congress passed June the 7th: 1832, that he enlisted in the Army of the United States in the year 1779, with Capt. William Kirtley, and served in the Regiment of the line under the following officers. In the early part of the year 1779, I came from the County of King George to the County of Culpeper (now Madison) to visit a brother and fell in with William Kirtley then a Capt. in the Regiment at the Burnside Barracks, commanded by Col. Frank Taylor. The term of my enlistment was to continue as long as the Regiment served at the Barracks. I remained in this service at the Barracks under Capt. Kirtley and Capt. Porter and attached to the Regiment commanded by Col. Taylor. Major John Roberts had command in the same Regiment. In the spring of the year 1781, the prisoners at the Barracks were marched to the neighborhood of Winchester Virginia and the Company and Regiment to which I was attached was detailed for that service. After remaining in this service a short time at the Barracks near Winchester, I was honorably discharged from the service, having served two years and six months days. Shortly after being discharged I was drafted in the Militia service from the County of King George and attached to a Militia Regiment commanded by Col. Wallace. In this tour I was stationed a good part of the time in

Fredericksburg and Richmond. I was on the march to York. Town when news of the surrender made it unnecessary to proceed further - I was finally discharged from this tour of duty at the Town of Richmond. The discharges from all my services long since lost. I claim the full benefit of the act of January 1832 for two years services.
We hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension or an annuity, except the present, and he declares that his name is not on the pension roll of any agency of any state. I annex the certificate of Larner Watson who was in the same service and the certificate of John Harrison both of them pensioners under the law of January 1832. Sworn to and subscribed the day and year aforesaid.
