      Notes for JOSEPH TERRY WILLIAMS:
      REVOLUTIONARY WAR PENSION S32604
      State of Illinois, Jackson County
      On the 3rd day of September, 1832, personally appeared in open court before
      the County Commissioners Court of Jackson County now sitting, Joseph T
      Williams, a resident of the said county in the state of Illinois, aged 76
      years, who being first duly sworn according to law doth on his oath make the
      following declarations in order to obtain the benefit of the Act of Congress
      passed June 7, 1832.That in the year 1776 as near as he the deponant can
      recollect, he was a resident of Pittsylvania County in the State of Virginia
      and on the 2nd day of April of said year he turned out as a volunteer to go
      against the Cherokee Indians.The Captain of the company to which he
      belonged was of the name of John Donelson under the command of Irwin (?)
      Shelby on a tour of three months.The force marched to the Long Islands in
      the River Holston.To this place a great many of the Cherokees came and
      there they made a treaty with the Americans, then the force was discharged
      and sent home.In this expedition against the Indians his assignment was an
      orderly sergent.
      In the month of February 1779 this deponant was called out for a five
      months tour as a drafted militia man in a company commanded by Captain
      William Witcher in a regiment commanded by David Mason and was immediately
      marched ---?--- south and joined the
      continental troops under General Linkhon at a place called --?- a place
      southwest of Charleston not long before the battle at ---?---.He and the
      militia with him were attached to and served
      with the regular troops during the whole campagn.He was discharged at
      Camden SC by a written discharge by his captain which said discharge he
      still has, of which the following is a
      true copy---
      "Camden SC
      "This is to certify that Joseph Terry Williams a
      "Sergeant in my company of militia from
      "Pittsylvania has served his tour of duty and is
      "discharged.Given under my hand this 23rd
      "day of July 1779.
      Wm Witcher, Capt.
      In the winter of 1780 and of which Gen Green was retreating through the
      country before the approaching British under the command of Lord Cornwallis,
      Green called on the militia for a
      tour of duty.This deponant turned out as a volunteer in a company
      commanded by Capt Steven Coleman under the command of Col Peter Perkins and
      joined the army of regulars under Gen Green at Davis (?) River in the state
      of Virginia.Green continued close to the enemy during the whole tour but
      saw no battle but some slight skirmishes and as the one Whitsill's Mill and
      was
      discharged a copy of which is as follows and the original still remains in
      his hands."Jos Terry Williams is hereby discharged from my company of
      militia - given at Camden, Guilford County
      North Carolina 12 Mar 1781---Stephen Coleman, Capt.
      During the last mentioned tour this deponant served as quarter master
      sergent.
      During the year 1781 or 1782 this deponant was called out on a tour of duty
      and put to driving public wagons and teams transporting public stores to and
      from Halifax old town, was
      regular and constant in the said employment, subject to the order of the
      deputy quartermaster in the regular service, served the tour out of three
      months as he believes and was regularly
      discharged by Wm McGraw the said deputy quartermaster but whether he
      received from said officer a written discharge or not the deponant cannot
      say.If he did it has been lost.It might have been in this as in his
      first tour that he never thought it worth his while to apply for a written
      discharge as the officer who would give it lives in his immediate
      neighborhood.This is all the service this deponant did and he has no
      documentary testimony then to offer in proof of such service.The original
      of the discharges he has herein copied are still in his hands subject to
      the inspection of anyone and the deponant says he has no one now within his
      power by whom he could prove his actual service as there are so few of the
      old Revolutionary soldiers yet living and
      they so scattered over this widely extended country.
      He hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension or annuity except
      the present and declares that his name is not on the pension roll of any
      agency of any state.
      Interrogatories propounded by the court:

      It is in my father's handwriting and I have no doubt it is correct.
      QUESTION 3Where were you living when called into service?Where have you
      lived since the Revolutionary war and where do you now live?

      this question.

      Sire,
      I send enclosed the original discharges of Joseph T Williams hoping that
      this will remove every objection to the allowance of his claim.An early
      attention to the subject desirable as the old gentlemen is in a low state of
      health probably the effects of old age and hard labour and really is in much
      need of the discharge of that debt which the country has so long owed the
      Revolutionary soldiers.
      There is a case in this neighborhood of the following description:
      Peter Golliher was drafted to stand in readiness for a six months tour of
      duty and greatly often was called out and was marched toward Yorktown (at
      the time Cornwallis was there) to join the army at that place and when
      within a few miles of the army was taken sick (of the scarlet fever) and so
      ---?--- for some time
      then not fit for duty received a furlough on account of his ill health and
      was by his friend taken home before the expiration of the six months for
      which he was drafted but remained sick and unable to perform any business
      for nearly a year. Without putting the department to the trouble of
      investigating a claim which can be of no benefit to the claimant I wish you
      to inform me whether in case the facts were made out as above stated the
      said Peter Golliher couldbe allowed as for six months service.
      With much respect, your obedient servant

      Feb 7, 1834
      Dear Sir,
      You will recollect that sometime since I made an application for a pension
      for an old gentlemen of our county by the name of Joseph T Williams.
      This declaration was in the first instance returned with objections.These
      were obviated or attempted to be and the Declaration returned to the
      Department.I then received a communication requiring that his original
      discharges from service mentioned in his declaration should be sent to the
      Department.I
      accordingly obtained them from the old man, copied them, enclosed the
      originals and directed them to the Department.This was about the middle of
      October last since which time I have heard nothing upon the subject.I
      however expected mail after mail a communication supposing the delay was
      ---?--- by the press of business until the last mail brought me the
      allowance of the pension of ---?--- Lipe whose declaration was sent long
      after the original discharges of Mr Williams.This circumstance incurs me
      to think that the delay cannot be occasioned by the theory of business as I
      before supposed.I therefore write this for
      information upon the subject.
      I wish to make an inquiry concerning the application for a pension of Jesse
      Gordan also of our county.His declaration was just returned with
      objections, was amended and sent back.It as a second time returned with
      the note --"The claimant must produce or at least make an effort to produce
      some evidence of his service as a non-commissioned officer and as to his
      service as a Lieut.The regulation of the department is imperative.Must
      produce his commission or satisfactory evidence he was duly
      commissioned and served in that capacity for the time alleged.
      Mr Gordon claims to have served ---?--- or nearly so as a Lieut and also a
      long time in the capacity of sergent ---?---.He has not given up his claim
      but is still searching for evidence.He has found where a brother of his
      resides of whom he has not heard for many years.By him he hopes to be able
      to make satisfactory proof of his services as a non-commissioned officer.
      Now the question I wish to ask is this, in case he able to make such proof
      by his brother and should wave for the present his claim for service as
      Lieut and be allowed a pension as non-commissioned officer whether hereafter
      after making satisfactory proof of his service as Lieut his pension could be
      increased to what it would have been in case he had made such proof in the
      first instance.
      His age, infirmity and poverty will at once suggest the reason for this
      inquiry.
      I mentioned in a former communication a case of a person of this county by
      the name of Peter Golliher.Will you please in our answer to this to answer
      my inquiry in that case also.

      Sir,
      I return to the department the application of Joseph T Williams,
      Robert Hiatt (?) and Hesekiah Davis with the accompanying briefs
      after having made such amendments as appeared to me to be
      sufficient from instructions.I have altogether refrained from
      medling with any other part of the application as that would
      disarrange the examination which has been made by the department.
      I drew the conclusion that the only defect in the ---?---
      referred to in Ques XVI was that the sheet of paper which
      contained the seals was not attached in the manner subscribed in
      the explanatory note to the said ques and I was confirmed in this
      opinion by the particular direction in the brief accompanying
      Joseph T Williams application.If I have misapprehended the
      objection, I shall of course be informed.
      The other applications will probably be returned after the next
      term of our court.
      The delay in this matter has been occassioned by my absence for a
      long time and it is hoped that the department has by this time so
      far relieved itself from the great throng of business that has
      been thrown upon it as to be able to soon to act upon these
      applications.
