That he entered the service of the United States under the following named officers recorded as herein stated
1 st He was born in North Carolina, in Lincoln County - 2 d He has no record of his age but states from tradition that he was born on the 29 th Aug 1762. At an early age his parents removed to Barnstable Co Mass - 3 rd At which place he entered the service after the war he removed to Georgia then to Ky where he lives - 4 th He volunteered in to the service in the Company of Capt Ferguson's Riflemen known as Matthews' Riflemen. The object of the expedition was in part to guard Genl. Perry on Savannah River against Col. Dabney & Mcgirt a

a Tory - He did not attack me - for us. He, my opponent, was only engaged in this service a- bout five weeks - in or about the month of May 1777. There was no other company out on this expedition - but Ferguson's and indeed Ferguson deserted or abandoned it before its expiration. as the command finished before the He need not be charged -
His second tour was from Edgefield County - at the expiration of his 1st tour he joined Capt John Byars company - Luke By- ars Lieut. and Leroy Hammonds Col Boyer - Maj - constituting a battalion of Gen Williams army. After join- ing Byars we first marched to the Liberty Hills near Augusta - where we joined Williams army - Here he served his second tour of three months or fifty- days in length, to the best of his recollec- tion - Immediately after joining William- son, he was promoted to the office of ser- geant of Capt Byars company - in which office he continued during all his subse- quent service - To the best of his recollec- tion, it was in the month of Aug. 1777. That he joined Byars; immediately thereafter

he was promoted supt. as afd. - The service ren- dered by Williams as at the Liberty Hill prin- cipally, was guarding a large number of Tory prisoners, in the "Bull pen" as it was called - at the expiration of sd 3 mths & 18 days he recd a written discharge from his capt
3 d At the expiration of his tour under Ryan he went up into Rutherford county to a place called Green River where he volunteered into Capt (Mr) Devols company - Jas Miller, col. - Col Miller's brigade not going to Kings Moun- tain, he again volunteered in Capt Abra- ham DeMoss company of Col Cleveland brigade - The forces under Cleveland, Little Camfield & Oliver met at Hag's on Green River and marched thence in company to Kings Mountain - He was in the battle at that place - Col Williams was wounded. subsequently died, and was buried at the same place where we hung a Tory named Mills & eight of his men taken prisoners at the Br-
thence we marched with the prisoners to the Moravian Towns, crossing the Yad river at the Shallow ford - Bower Shelly & Lewis did not go to the Moravian towns

Col Sevier had a brother wounded at the Mountain, who subsequently died. At the Moravian towns yr. applicant remained guarding prisoners till the expiration of his term when he was discharged by his Capt. He was engaged as sergeant in his town about two months, say from the 15th of Sept to the 15th of Nov.
After this he returned back home to Bu- therford, and about the 25th of the same month, he joined Capt Mays & Company of Col Clark's Regt. - Mays was a French man & Clark a Virginia Driven in the Tories & British from Georgia. - Having joined Col Clark's Regt we moved in pursuit of Maj Dunlap, one of Col Ferguson's Majors - we caught him at Long cane river in Laurens County S.C. at Hog Creek Mill, and captur- ed here this force without the loss of a man We returned with them to Rutherford Co. and there Dunlap got killed. - On the way Clark had two of his men, Hackett & Reed, killed. We were engaged about two or three weeks but yr applicant can't remember how long - he had a discharge from Col Mays which was in the month of Dec. - The discharge about a week after this as he returned say on the

10th of December he volunteered into the company of Capt Dennis Trammell of Col. Roberds Regiment This was in Laurens County Ga. We marched thence to a place in St. Lawrence County called Peck Hill, where we attacked Col. Cunningham's a Tory. We killed 2 or 3 of him. He lost some men. A Maj. White was killed on our side. We took no prisoners. His service being over, we went to our homes - having been engaged not more than three weeks. He was then discharged - We again volunteered from St. Lawrence County of Rutherford County the 18th of January 1781 in the company of Capt. Mays due company of Col. Clark us. Col. Mays from Rutherford we marched to Sparta and joined Gen. Morgan & Col. Washington at the French Shoals of Packoll. Marched thence to the Cowpens - was in the battle at that place - we defeated Tarleton with the loss of 4 or 500 of his men. We marched after the battle with the prisoners to the Island Ford of Broad River - thence Col. Clark & Col. Mays marched back to the Thurber - thence we marched on to Augusta in Geor- gia. crossing the Savannah river at the Cherokee Ford - here we took Grayson's & Brown's forts - a comrade named James Alexander killed Grayson & Brown was wounded. Many prisoners were captured by us - Col. Miller of Rutherford was wounded in the engagement in the foot - After the capture of the forts Grayson was discharged. He was late in the spring not the beginning of summer when Brown's fort was taken - in taking Grayson's fort Capt. Price was killed - To the best of his recollection it was about the 18th of July last of July when he was discharged.
After returning home to Rutherford Grayson went by himself to Hanson County Ga. Pedee & joined Col. Pat- rick Bogard under Col. Wade - We were stationed at the Grassy Islands of Pedee - Here we remained

about two weeks, until Gen Rutherford came on with his army. He then joined him, crossed the Pedee & marched to Winyaw on Cape Fear river. The forces under him separated from Rutherford at a place called Lordhart's Ferry. Rutherford crossed over on the east side & stormed Winyaw. He remained on the west side, moved down to the place where the Brick house defended by a party of British which we took. We marched then to Gray's Mill about a mile below the Brick house. We stormed & took this without the loss of a man. Our commanders on these occasions were Col Smith & Maj. Wm. Allen. After this last battle Reg t returned home and were discharged in Anson County. No application was given here by his Capt. - he was engaged on these four three months & fifteen days. Which term ended say 15 Nov. th The applicant next joined Col Lamb Benton near the Chowan river in Chesterfield County, Va. He was put under the command of Capt. Tom Bonner. We marched down to George Town where we remained 3 months & 15 days in the Barracks, guarding the town. He volunteered on this expedition, about a week after the expiration of his former one, & need not be discharged from his capt.
Early in the spring of 1782 the applicant joined Gen Marion on Wateree creek, in South Carolina between Geo. Town & Charleston. He united himself to the company of Capt Elliot, of the Reg t of Maj McMuldrow. Hugh McMuldrow was ensign. Boatwright was adjutant. He joined for 18 months or enduring the war. Here he remained encamped about two months. The war terminated & the applicant was finally discharged.
It will be perceived that the applicant has been engaged in a multiplicity of little tours & services. On this subject he would remark that at that time he was young & unmarried, surrounded on all sides by Tories & enemies and having

entered into the service he found nothing more agreeable than to be continually engaged in it. -
He has in going along with his narrative stated the names of a large number of the officers he engaged in the service with him & is in hopes he has in that particular complied with the requisitions of the War Department.
The discharges he recd at various times as stated by him, were burnt in a house of his. -
He states that Charles & Burton Lewis, John Davis & are persons to whom he is known in his neighborhood & by whom he can prove his character for veracity.
He hereby relinquishes every claim to a pension except the present and declares that his name is is not on the pension roll of the agency of any state.
