JOHN BUTLER.

In his declaration for a pension, dated in April, 1818, in Bertie County, N. 
C., he stated that he was enlisted in Windsor, N. C., by Lieut. Thomas Blount 
Whitmell in 1776, and served in the Company of Capt. Jeremiah McClure of the 
Fourth N. C. Regiment, and was discharged after a service of 3 years, by 
Colonel Mebane, at Halifax. Wm. Hill, Secretary of State for N. C., certified 
February 1819, that “It appears from the Muster roll of the N. C. Continental 
line of the Revolutionary War that John Butler, a private in said line 
enlisted May 5th, 1776, for two and a half years in the 10th Regiment in Capt. 
Baker’s Company and was omitted in 1779.”

In November, 1820, he was residing in Bertie County, N. C., aged 66 years. He 
enlisted on or about May 4th, 1776, in the Company of Capt. Jeremiah McLayn or 
McLean, for two years and six months at Windsor, and in the Regiment commanded 
by Colonel Thomas Polk. He was discharged at Halifax. He was in the battle at 
Charleston, S. C. The bombardment of Fort Moultrie at Charleston was June 
12th, 1776.
