V34.5-93 Moses Henson Alabama

The State of Alabama
Russell County, 3
Personally appeared before me Ulysses Lewis, Judge of the County Court, in and for the County of Russell state of the said Moses Henson, who being duly sworn, deposes and saith, that he enlisted and served a nine months tour in the Revolutionary war, under Col. Caswell, in the then County of Dobbs, but now Lenoir County in the State of North Carolina at a place then called Kinston Court House, that he marched from the place of his enlistment under Capt. John Sharpe in said Regiment to Norfolk in the State of Virginia, that after serving a part of his time at that station, he was turned over to the command of Capt. William Harper, under whom he completed his nine months tour of service and received a written discharge. This deponent further states that his written discharge together with other papers were burnt and destroyed with his house a few years ago. Deponent saith that one of his neighbors (to wit) James Skipper enlisted at the same time with him, under the same officer and served with him the whole of the nine months tour. This deponent knows of no person living, by whom he could establish these facts, and would not now have applied for a Pension but for the destruction of his property a few years since by fire, and his extreme old age, decrepitude and infirm condition, being unable to procure a support for himself and family by his own exertions.
Sworn to and subscribed
