Roll 1105, Application #S6936 JOHN GRAHAM, a resident of Randolph County, NC, aged 71 years: “He states that he was born in Paxtung Township in Lancaster County, state of Pennsylvania on 1st November 1761, and has a record of his age. That he removed to Randolph County (then Guilford) in the year 1775, and has lived in said county ever since, and now resides in it. He states that he entered the service of the United States with JOSEPH JOHNSTON, at the same time and under the same officers (to wit), he volunteered for three months under Captain THOMAS DOUGAN, Colonel BALFOUR and Colonel COLLIER, and armed and equipped himself for the light horse service, and joined the troop which the said Captain DOUGAN commanded. He states that this was early in the year 1779, and that the circumstances of his service so far as he can recollect them, are accurately detailed in the declaration of the said JOSEPH JOHNSTON, to which he begs leave to refer, and to adopt so far as these are concerned, as his own, deeming it unnecessary here to recapitulate them. He declares that his service amounted in all, to the best of his recollection to ten months; and that neither he nor JOHNSTON was in any important service in which both were not engaged.” He stated that he can prove part of his service by his neighbor DAN MERRILL, and the whole of it, by the said JOSEPH JOHNSTON.” File at: http://files.usgwarchives.net/nc/guilford/military/revwar/pensions/graham179gmt.txt This file has been created by a form at http://www.genrecords.org/ncfiles/ File size: 2.0 Kb
