Samuel Bryson
Certificate 22027,issued September 27, 1833, rate $30. Per annum, commenced
March 4, 1831, based on 9 months of service by Act of June 7, 1832, West
Tennessee Agency.
Declaration
In order to obtain
the benefit of the Act of Congress, passed June 7, 1832
Sate of Tennessee}
Wilson County}
On this 10th
day of May in the year of our Lord 1833 personally appeared before me Jehu
McMinn one of the acting Justices of the peace for said county and
a member of the county court of the same, it being a court of record,
Samuel Bryson a resident of said county states aged about seventy nine
years, who being first duly sworn according to law hath on his oath make
the following declaration in order to obtain benefit of the Act of Congress
passed June 7, 1832.
That he entered
the service of the United States under the following names officers &
served as herein stated.
He was a citizen
of Rowan County North Carolina when the war commenced, to which he had
moved from Lancaster County Pennsylvania when in his 15th year of age.
He first entered the service as a malitia man under a draft & went
out into what was called the "Snow Campaign" which was so denominated on
account of the unusual depth & quantity of the snow which fell at that
time. But owing to the imperfection of his memory this age he cannot state
the month or year this tour was performed. He thinks Dixon was his Colonel
& John Work was his captain & they were under the command of General
Rutherford but he does not remember who were the other officers. They ___
over the Cataba,-South Fork,-Lawson's Fork & a number of other streams
into the State of Georgia. They were marching upon a band of Tories under
the command of Col Fletcher who had become formidable in that quarter.
Before they had got to the place the "Liberty troops" had come upon Fletcher's
band & conquered them & came meeting us with Fletcher the tore
in strings? He distinctly recollects that Fletcher was well guarded &
was riding a horse with his feet tied securely under his belly. He was
a stout chunky man. They were taking him on to the city of Charleston.
We then turned back & marched home & were regularly discharged
in writing for the three months tour. They had a ___ bad time of it as
the weather was excefrively? cold & inclement. General Rutherford was
with us we saw him every day & knew him well.
The next summer,
he thinks,there was a call for men to guard the Cataba to prevent the Tories
from coming over & marauding the settlement & he volunteered for
three months & went out under the command of Capt Joseph McMillen,
there was but one company, the other company officers are not remembered.
They continued to guard the river up & down for three months during
the term of service for which he volunteered. He resided about fourteen
miles from the station in the midst of the Tories & was contained?
at times & dreaded for fear they would destroy his family & ____.
Once or twice during the time he got liberty of going home to see whether
they had done him any injury but always returned the same day to his post.
This duty was performed under a call from General Rutherford. He served
out his time and received a written discharge which is long since lost.
Soon after he returned from this engagement Col. Davidson who lived near
him, came to his house & told him that his (Davidson's) son & his
wife & child had just been killed by the indians & he wanted some
person to go with an express to Gen'l Rutherford's camp about 70 miles
off & he proposed to give him a discharge for a 3 months tour if he
would go on that duty. It was a very dangerous undertaking as he would
have to ___ through two Tory settlements one about seven & the other
about five miles across. He however agreed to go & very early the next
morning called upon Col Davidson & got the ___ papers & went
all speed & ___ through the thickest of the vile Tories & reached
Rutherford's camp about sundown. He remembered these two days & was
sent with a guard as one of them to convey some Tory prisoners to Salisbury
jail. They guarded them on four miles beyond Salisbury to ___ about two
hundred more prisoners who had been taken by Col Washington at the battle
of the Cow-pens & the said prisoners were all then sent on to
Virginia. He then returned home & got a discharge for a three month
tour from Gen'l Rutherford. He was out on this occasion to the best of
recollection ten days at least.
He was soon after
that drafted as a "minute man" for three months. Colo Brevard was his commanding
officer the other officers are not remembered. He was often, nay,
almost constantly out on scout, so that he could not return to attend to
hid regular ordinary business . Sometimes they would go out on a
special service & be out only one,two or three weeks according
to the exiquecy? & nature of the service. Frequently they would go
home one day or night to have to start the next. At the expiration
of his time he received a written discharge for three months which is
long since lost. Just before the battle at Ramsower's Mills while
out watching to see what way the enemy would come where the spies took
him & one of his brothers prisoners & carried them on under guard
to the battle ground. Soon after the battle commenced he made his
escape & after much risk & difficulty got home.
So this applicant
has ____ discharges for twelve months and has been in actual service
nine months & ten days. It seems to him but just as he agreed with
the officers to go on the express through great danger for a three month
discharge that his arrangement should be considered binding on the government.
But this is a question which he refers to the justice of the department.
If it be thought proper to allow him only for the time he was in actual
service under a regular engagement by draft or voluntary then he will be
entitled to pay for nine months & ten days-the time he was a
prisoner is not included. Owing the old age & his frailty of hi smemory
he is not able to state the dates & times that he served , nor more
particulars about the same than he stated.
He has no documentary
evidence of his services, nor does he know of any living witness by whom
he can prove his services.
He always served
as a private- never had any command.
After the war
he moved to Pendleton County in the state of South Carolina where
he remained six or seven years when he moved to Buncombe Cty. N. Carolina
where he lived eight years- he then moved to Wilson County Tennessee where
he now resides.
He has no record
of his age but from his memory he knows that he is in his seventy ninth
year.
He would state
that he is known to a large number of respectable neighbors & he believes
they would all testify to his character for veracity among them he would
name the following, George Bogle,Wm. C. Odom,_____ Odom, John Bryson, _____
Cooper,____ Davenport,___Alexander,_____ Summers & He hereby relinquishes
every claim whatever to a pension or annuity except the present & declares
that his name is not on the Pension Roll of the agency of any state.
