Pension Application Of Rubison, Calza, Nat’l Archives Series M804, Roll ____ Application #S16240
Washington County, Indiana, Probate Court for the county aforesaid, November 
term, 1832}
	On this day personally appeared before the Honorable Jeremiah Rowland, 
sole judge of the Probate Court for the county and state aforesaid, being a 
court of record, Calza Rubison, a resident of the county aforesaid, being aged 
68 years wanting 5 days, who being first duly sworn according to law, doth on 
his oath make the following declaration…:

	That he enlisted in the service of the United States in a regiment of 
North Carolina militia commanded by Colonel Reed in the County of Guilford in 
the state of North Carolina. That he enlisted a few days after the Battle of 
Guilford Courthouse at a place called Ramsay’s Mills early in the spring of 
1781. That he marched from thence to Camden. That he was in an engagement with 
the British at Camden. That after this engagement, he was detached as one of a 
guard to convey some prisoners to Salisbury in North Carolina, after performing 
which duty he received a written discharge from the officer in command of said 
detachment, which has been lost. That he served at this time a tour of three 
months.

	On the 10th day of August, 1781, this declarant again enlisted in a 
company commanded by Captain Nat Dickerson in a company of North Carolina 
militia commanded by Colonel Billy Moore, which regiment belonged to a brigade 
or division commanded by General Butler. That after being rendezvoused we 
marched to Cross Creek or Wilmington. That at this time the British had left 
Carolina and gone into Virginia, and the object of this tour of duty was to 
keep down the Tories and protect the country. That this declarant was under 
arms and doing duty at the time of the surrender of Lord Cornwallis. That he 
received his discharge from Captain Nathaniel Dickerson in November 1781 after 
having served a tour of three months, which discharge has been lost.

	This declarant, here by way of correction, will state that Colonel 
Reed, under whose command he first served, was according to his recollection, a 
Continental officer and had the command of the regiment in which he served the 
principal part of the first tour, but that in the various calls of duty and 
divisions and subdivisions of men and officers, the Continental and militia 
officers became so mixed and those terms of command so frequently changed that 
he has a very indistinct recollection of the names of the officers. That he 
distinctly recollects serving under General Greene who was commander in chief 
during his first tour of duty.

	This declarant state that he served fully and faithfully six months in 
the armies of the United States. That he was born in Charlotte, Virginia and 
from thence removed to Rowan County, North Carolina, after which removed to 
Guilford County in said state where he had his residence during his said tours 
of duty, and that after the Revolutionary War was over, this declarant moved 
from North Carolina to Virginia, and in a few years moved from Virginia to 
Kentucky where he lived about 29 years, and from Kentucky he moved to Indiana 
into the county of Washington, in which county he has resided about 14 years, 
and where he now resides. That he was born the 19th day of November, 1764 
according to the information of his mother, his father having died when he was 
very young, and having kept no record of his age…etc.

Sworn and subscribed in open court, this 15th day of November, 1832. Calza 
Rubison, his mark. 

	Personally appeared at the same time in open court of the court 
aforesaid, Robert Smith and Richard Rubison, who having been severally sworn, 
state that they have known the declarant, the former upwards of 12 and the 
latter upwards of 30 years; and that he is reputed and believed to have been a 
soldier of the Revolution. That they concur in that in that opinion, and that 
they believe him to be of the age he represents himself, that is 68 years 
wanting a few days.
