Pension Application Of Adam Binkley, Nat’l Archives Series M804, Roll __, Application #S1890
Davidson County, Tennessee, ADAM BINKLEY, aged ?93 on the first day of August 
1832:
	“That he entered the service of the United States in the War of the 
Revolution in the year 1778 as well as he recollects, in the State of North 
Carolina, Surrey County. At the time there was beat up for volunteers (state) 
to go against the British at King’s Mountain, as a lieutenant in Captain HENRY 
SMITH’s company of volunteers, which belonged to the regiment commanded by 
Colonel JOSEPH WILLIAMS of which JOSEPH WINSTON was major. One general JOSEPH 
WILLIAMS was commander-in-chief and Colonel CAMPBELL and Colonel CLEAVELAND 
were also in the expedition. He states that on this occasion he marched from 
Surrey County to King’s Mountain and was in the battle of King’s Mountain in 
which Colonel Ferguson, the commander of the British, was killed. He was in the 
service some time on this occasion, the precise time he cannot precisely 
recollect.”

“His next tour of service was about the time of the Battle of Guilford, when he 
was out about two months and was in the Battle of Guilford, on which occasion 
MICAJAH LEWIS was first major and JOHN GOODE was second major, and one PAISLEY 
was Lt. Colonel. General GREENE was the commander-in-chief.”

	Besides these tours of service, I was very frequently out a few days or 
weeks at a time, both against the British and against the Tories, having gone 
out every time there was a requisition for troops, and always as a volunteer, 
never having been drafted. He states that all his tours of service put together 
would amount to more than two years…”
