Pension Application Of George Oliver, Natl Archives Microseries M804, Roll 1842, Application #S8906
GEORGE OLIVER, a resident of Lincoln County, NC, aged 72 years in November 1822:
	“That he entered the service in the month of October in the year 1778, 
in the County of Guilford, North Carolina under the command of General LINCOLN, 
Colonel THAXTON and Captain RAIFORD. That he marched from Guilford through 
Salisbury to the Ten-Mile House from Charleston, South Carolina, from thence to 
a little town on Savannah River called Purysburg, from thence to Charleston and 
continued there until after the Battle of Stono [per Heitman, June 20, 1779]. 
He continued in the service of the United States for the space of nine months, 
but he lay in Charleston in the hospital for some time, and if that was taken 
into the calculation, he was in the service upwards of eleven months before he 
got his discharge.”
	“He was in a small engagement at the Savannah River, and was in several 
skirmishes in the ___to Charleston…”
	“He further states that about a year after he returned home from his 
first service, he volunteered again and entered the service of the United 
States in Guilford County and served two months under General GREENE and under 
Captain [THOMAS] COOK, and was in the Battle of Guilford [per Heitman, March 
15, 1781].”
	“He then volunteered as a guard for Governor MARTIN at the seat of 
government in North Carolina and served one month under Captain [JOSIAH] GATES.”
	“He again volunteered and served another month under Captain SAMUEL 
HENDERSON in the 18 month service and then hired a certain THOMAS WILSON [or 
WATSON] as substitute, who served about 3 or 4 months and then the war ended.”
	“This statement he omitted in the foregoing declaration.”
