On the 19 th day of October 1832, personally appeared before me Asa Dupuy a justice of the peace in the County aforesaid, William Hines sen. a resident of this County, age seventy eight 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 th 1832. That he entered the service of the United States under the following named officers, and served as herein stated viz, He volunteered as a minute man from the County of King & Queen under Capt William Richards and Lieutenant Campbell (thinks his name was Hugh Campbell) but is not able to state what year it was, marched under the Command of Captain Richards to Gloucester town, about the time Lord Dunmore with his troops lay near Green's Island, was himself at that Island on a visit (by permission of his Commanding officer) while the battle was going on between the American troops and Lord Dunmore's troops, but took no part in the action, he was in no engagement with the enemy during this time, remained in the service about two months, then hired his brother John Hines as a substitute to save the balance of his term of service, and returned home, does not recollect the manner of any regular or other field officers, tho' some were present a part of the time. After the above service went to the Western part of Virginia (now Kentucky) to Higgins station about two miles from the Shawnee Springs and three miles from Harrodsburg, went out there in the month of March 1780, with a view of settling in that Country (does not think it was then laid off into counties) and remained there until July of the same year, when there was a draft for men to go against the Indians, he volunteered to go, leaving only two old men at the station, marched to the Falls of the Ohio, in a Company commanded by Capt Hugh McGary, where we joined Gen. George Rogers Clark, and in a few days moved up the Ohio river (in advance of Gen. Clark) in pursuit of Indians, about the eighth day Gen. Clark came up the river in boats, and

passed our Company, getting ashore on the opposite side of the river, while in sight of Gen. Clark, our Company was attacked by the Indians, and in the Engagement Mr. William Stephens was severely wounded, by two balls, which broke both bones of his right arm below the elbow, the next day was with the other wounded sent back by Gen. Clark to the Falls of the Ohio, where he lay under a surgeon from July to December, before he was able to travel, sometime in December returned to Higgens Station, does not think he had any regular winter discharge, in this tour encamped with Gen. Clark only one night, does not recollect the name of any other field officer, the winter after this tour returned to King and Queen and was now able to perform service during the War, his arm and hand now very much crippled, not able to straighten arm or fingers, this tour from the time he volunteered until he returned home was about seven or eight months, I went to see Gen. Clark after he returned from the Indian War, was told by him he would take the necessary steps to have a pension allowed to him (Hines), about this time removed to the County of Prince Edward, does not now recollect what steps were taken to obtain a pension, but one was allowed and he drew it at Richmond Virginia, he thinks about the year 1784 or 1785, and continued to draw it he thinks only ten years, being some distance from Richmond, and finding it troublesome to get, did not apply for it longer, being illiterate neither able to read or write, is unable to give so minute an account of circumstances as he could wish, but refers to the record of the State of Virginia to prove about his pension, as he supposes it was paid by the State government. The services actually performed by him in person, was in the first tour about two months, and in the second tour about five or six months, and he hired a substitute to fill up the balance of his first tour, the length of time not recollected, knows no person practicing by whom he can prove his services rendered.
To questions propounded to him he answered as follows.

BA-J/ILL William Hines W. 294
Dear Sir:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the record of William Rixey Hines, a soldier of the Revolutionary War.
A search of the Revolutionary War pension records has been made and only one claim found based upon service of a soldier with name William Hines; his name is not shown William Rixey Hines. The data given herein were found in the papers on file in said claim, W. 294; it may aid you in your research.
William Hines was born June 18, 1754, in Albemarle County, Virginia; the names of his parents were not given.
While a resident of King and Queen County, Virginia, he volunteered as private in Captain William Richard's company of minute-men of that county, marched to Gloucester Town and was at Gwynn's Island at the time of the battle there, length of service two months; he then hired his brother, John Hines, to complete his tour of service. William Hines moved to the western part of Virginia in March 1780 and resided at Higgins' Station (later in Kentucky). He enlisted there in July 1780, served as private in Captain Hugh Magaw's company on General George Rogers Clark's expedition against the Indians and was in the battle above the falls of the Ohio River, in which he was severely wounded by two balls which broke the bone in his right arm below the elbow; on account of said wound, he was confined under the care of a surgeon and returned home sometime in December.
The winter following his service, the soldier returned to King and Queen County, Virginia, also lived one year in King William

County, Virginia, and moved in 1784 or 1785 to Prince Edward County, Virginia.
William Hines was allowed pension on his application executed October 13, 1832, at which time he resided in Prince Edward County, Virginia. He was designated then William Hines, Senior. He died September 10, 1835.
William Hines married December 21, 1809 in Prince Edward County, Virginia, Sally Fears.
Sally Hines, the soldier's widow, was allowed pension on her application executed June 7, 1853, at which time she resided in Prince Edward County, Virginia. She was then aged seventy-seven years; the date and place of her birth and names of her parents were not stated.
William Hines referred in 1832, to his brother who moved to Kentucky, but did not state the name of said brother, nor the town or county in Kentucky in which he lived. The soldier stated further that he received a pension from the State of Virginia about the year 1784 or 1785, which he drew at Richmond.
Very truly yours,
A. D. HILLER, Executive Assistant to the Administrator.

Sir,
Mr. Wm Hines Senr., a revolutionary pensioner who resided in this county, died a few days ago, (the 10 th Inst.) with an arrearage of pension due him - from the 4 th of September 1834 - at the rate of $26 \frac{66}{100} per annum. I am requested by his widow to enquire of you whether the balance due to her husband does not fall to her: and what steps she ought to take to draw it. If the usual form of declaration made by pensioners will not be correct in her case, you will please forward her a form, enclosed in a letter to me. I have usually drawn the pension for her husband, (or attended to it) and I suppose she will have to make a power of attorney - as it is impracticable for her to draw it in person.
Respectfully Yrs

I Matthew M Dence a Clergyman resident in the County of Prince Edward, hereby certify that I am well acquainted with William Hener Sen d an applicant for a pension whose declaration I have seen Certified by the Clerk of the County Court of Prince Edward, that I believe him to be seventy eight years of age, that he is reputed and believed in the neighbourhood where he resided to have been a soldier of the revolution; and that I concur in that opinion.
Matthew M. Dence A.M.
Sworn to and subscribed the 17 th day of June 1833 before Asa Dupuy a justice of the peace in the County of Prince Edward, State of Virginia, and the said Asa Dupuy doth certify that the Matthew Dence who has subscribed the foregoing Certificate is a Clergyman resident in the County of Prince Edward.
Asa Dupuy J.P.
Prince Edward County S c .
I Asa Dupuy a justice of the peace for the County aforesaid do hereby certify that from personal observation William Hener who is an applicant for a pension (and whose original declaration I have seen) was a few days past (and as I am informed had been for several weeks previous) not in a situation to amend his declaration from extreme old age or some other cause his mind has become alienated, and I did not think proper to propose to him to amend his declaration indeed he appears to have nearly lost his memory

I would therefore propose that he be allowed for the shortest shortest time mentioned by him in his declaration; when I went to qualify him to his original declaration, he stated to me he could not nor would not swear to a particular period of services, but would name the time as near as he could recollect, and I do not believe that he did claim for a longer time than he believed that he had served. Given under my hand this 15 th day of July 1833.

I Francis J. Worsham clerk of the court of Prince Edward County in the State of Virginia, do hereby certify, that Asa Dupuy is a Justice of the peace in and for said county, as herein before stated, and that the signature within and above, purporting to be his, is his genuine signature.
