Declaration
In order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress passed June 7th. 1832.
State of South Carolina } Newberry district } ss.
On this twentieth day of November in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and thirty five personally appeared in open Court before the Court of Common Pleas now sitting, John Hays a resident of the district and State aforesaid aged about seventy one 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 7. 1832.
That he entered the service of the United States under the following named officers and served as herein stated.
He was born on the 30th of November 1764 in Granville County in the State of North Carolina. He knows his age from an entry made by his father in the family bible which he has often seen but he knows not where it may now be. He has a record of his age in his own family bible which was copied from that above mentioned.
When called into service as herein after stated he was living in Granville County aforesaid, and continued to live there afterwards until about the year eighteen hundred and thirteen.
He now lives in the district of Newberry in the State of South Carolina, and has lived there about twenty two years.
He was first called into the service of the United States by draft in the spring of the year seventeen hundred and eighty one, under Captain John Henderson. Major Pleasant Henderson commanded the battalion, and Colonel Ellabury commanded the Regiment. He was drafted under Captain Richard Harrison; and was marched under him to the High Rock ford on Haw River where they joined the

army under General Greene. At the instance of Col. Taylor who commanded the Regiment of foot to which this deponent was attached, he procured a horse and joined the troop of Cavalry commanded by Capt. John Henderson; and in that troop of Cavalry he served three months. He belonged to Gen. Greene's army at the time of the battle of Guilford but was not engaged in the battle - having been sent off with a detachment of Cavalry against a party of British Dragoons. Capt. Henderson's troop were sent to Crop Creek (now Fayetteville) to take care of the magazine and stores. Lord Cornwallis came thru on his way from Guilford to Wilmington and Capt. Henderson and his men were compelled to cross the River for safety (Cape Fear). The British fired at them across the River, and they returned the fire as opportunity was afforded from behind trees and other covering. He was discharged after having served three months at Crop Creek  Rocky Point in North Carolina on a short  short  Eagle  Cape Fear River. He got no written discharge, but it has been long lost or mislaid. It was signed by Col. Shane  Shane  Reves  Reves .
He entered the service the second time in the fall of the same year by draft, under Captain Nathaniel Waller. Maj. Richard Cook commanded the Battalion. Col. Taylor commanded the Regiment at the commencement of his term of service; but Col. Avery was in command at the conclusion. He served three months under this draft, and received a written discharge signed by Col. Avery which has been long lost or mislaid. They first assembled at Harrisburg where they were marched to Crop Creek (Fayetteville) where they met with General Rutherford and General Butler - one of whom had command of the whole of the forces then assembled. After remaining there a few days they were marched down near Wilmington where the British were stationed; and they continued in that neighborhood until his term of service expired. They were engaged all the time in intercepting parties of Tories, cutting off foraging parties of the British and otherwise harassing them. He was discharged at Rocky Point on North

East Cape Fear River.
This deponent therefor says that he has served six months as a private in the war of the Revolution
He refers to the statements of Messrs. Richard Glasgow, Charles Bullock, and Edward Thweat in support of this statement, which are hereto attached.
He also refers to Joseph M c Kie and Samuel M c Kie respectable gentlemen who reside in his neighbourhood to whom he is known and who can testify as to his character for veracity and their belief of his services as a soldier of the Revolution.
He 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 in any State.
Sworn and subscribed the day and year above written in open Court.

Personally appeared Edward Thweat at Newberry Court House before the Court of Common Pleas now sitting, in open Court, and after being duly sworn made oath, that he knows John Hays who is now making application for a pension. That he knows that said applicant was in the service of the United States in the Fall of year sixteen hundred and eighty one in the army which was under the command of Generals Butler and Rutherford, for he remembers to have seen him often in the service.
This deponent does not remember to have seen said applicant in the Spring of said year, but is satisfied that he must have been then also in the service from the fact that said Hays has told him since of things which then occurred which this deponent thinks could not have been known to any one except those who were personally present.
