ISAAC JONES, a resident of Telfair County, Georgia, aged 74 years:
	“That in the year 1777 during the Revolutionary War he was drafted in the said
state of Virginia into the service of the militia thereof for the term of three
months and served under Captain THOMAS BALDWIN from some time (the precise day not
recollected) in September in the year last aforesaid until the 4th day of March 1778
when he received his discharge from the said Captain BALDWIN which has been lost or
destroyed. That while in said service under said Captain BALDWIN, he was marched
from said Frederick County to Fort Pitt on the Ohio River, where they joined Colonel
JOHNSON and General HAND and from thence marched down the Ohio River to Fort
Wheeling where he completed his service for the three months for which he was
drafted as aforesaid, and a part of the troops called in the service were
discharged, but the company in which he, the declarant served was (he still
continuing in the service in said company) marched from thence up to Beach Bottom
Fort to protect the frontiers against the Shawnee tribe of Indians and continued
there until discharged as aforesaid, all of which service he, the declarant,
performed as a foot or militia soldier.”
“That during the summer of the year 1778, he removed from the said county of
Frederick, state of Virginia into Guilford County, State of North Carolina. That in
the said County of Guilford, in the year 1779, he was drafted into the service of
the militia of the state of North Carolina for the term of three months and served
under Captain WILLIAM WILSON as a foot soldier for the term of three months when he
received his discharge from the said Captain WILSON which has also been lost or
destroyed.”
“That while in the said service under the said Captain WILSON, he was marched from
the Courthouse in the said County of Guilford to the town of Salisbury where they
joined General RUTHERFORD and from thence marched down the Yadkin to Rocky River
where he was in a slight skirmish with the Tories embodied on said Rocky River at a
place called Colson’s old Plantation [possibly July 21, 1780], whom they were
drafted to dislodge or break up and from thence to the Courthouse in the said County
of Guilford where he received from the said Captain WILSON his discharge last
mentioned. The name of the colonel under which this last service was performed was
Colonel NEWNAN.”
“That in the same County of Guilford in the year 1780, he was again drafted into the
service of the militia of the state of North Carolina for the further term of three
months and served under Captain PETER O’NEAL as a foot or militia soldier for the
said term of three months. That while in said service under the said Captain O’NEAL
he was marched from the Courthouse in the said County of Guilford toward the town of
Salisbury until they joined Colonel ROBERT PORTERFIELD and General GATES, who was on
his way from the north and from thence marched by Cheraw, state of South Carolina,
toward Camden in the same state of South Carolina until they met the British Army at
or near Camden aforesaid in which engagement he was [per Heitman, August 16, 1780],
and from thence returned home to Guilford County, state of North Carolina, but the
American Army having been routed and the company in which he served separated, he
received no regular discharge…”
