Virginia Louisa County ss
On this day of November 1832 personally appeared before me one of the Justices of the peace for the county aforesaid Timothy Hall a resident of the said county aged eighty 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 1832
That he was drafted into the service of the United States in the militia of the county of Louisa from the lower part of the said county and served as a private a tour of two months in the company of William Hughes and the regiment of Col. Beldin; that he does not recollect the year but it was in the fall or winter season. That he marched with his company into New Kent County to the Gt. H. then into Caroline and was discharged at Beaver town, that he was next called for with half the militia of the county and served in the company of Capt. Summerson as a private, a tour of two months that he does not remember the year but thinks it was the spring of the year, that the five companies from Louisa were marched into the lower country as he believes under the command of them as follows but as they were marching up again near Beaver Court House William Fontaine took the command, and that he served the whole tour in that part of the country without any material event, that he was drafted again on the occasion of the invasion of the State by Cornwallis, and served as a private in the company of Richd. Philips a tour of two months, that he joined the army at Danvers and belonged to the regiment of Col. Dabney, that he served in the memorable retreat from the enemy, through the counties of Hanover, Spotsylvania, Orange and Culpeper, and saw the army under Genl. Wayne after the junction, and that he was discharged in the upper country; that he was never in the battle that in his two first tours he did not see any regular troops or officers, except Col. Fontaine who commanded as is above mentioned, but in the last he saw the army under the Marquis and the officers of it, that he remembers the Marquis and Genl. Nelson and was under Col. Dabney. that he does not

think he ever had a discharge nor has he any documentary evidence and has no record of his age, that he was born in Hanover but always served from the county of Louisa where he has lived ever since, that his advanced age and great infirmities have impaired his memory so that he cannot give a more particular account of his service than Anthony Winston the only person he knows of  the only person he knows of any part of who can testify to his services, that Deane Hutton Major Thomas Col Edmund Pendleton Gardiner, and David Bullock are persons in his present neighbourhood who can testify to his character for morality and the reputation of the country as to his services He hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to pension or annuity except the pension and declares that his name is not on the pension roll of the agency of any state or territory
