Pension Application Of John Simmons, Natl Archives Microseries M804, Roll 2187, Application #S4672
JOHN SIMMONS, a resident of Grainger County, Tennessee, aged 80 years in 
December 1832:
	“That he enlisted in the army of the United States in the year 1776 
under Captain JOHN BUSTER in the regiment commanded by General RUTHERFORD and 
Colonel JAMES MARTIN and Colonel JOHN PAISLEY. I resided in the County of 
Guilford and state of North Carolina when I was drafted for and served a three 
months tour under Captain BUSTER and was marched from Guilford Courthouse to 
Salisbury in the state of North Carolina. From Salisbury we marched against the 
Cherokee tribe of Indians upon Little Tennessee River where we remained until 
our term of service had expired and then we returned home.”
	“In the fall of the same year (1776), I volunteered and served one 
month under Captain BUSTER, Colonel PAISLEY and Major OWENS in an expedition 
against a party of Tories encamped on Haws River, and after dispersing the 
Tories, we returned home.”
	In the year 1779, I was elected and served as Lieutenant under Captain 
GLENN’s company in the regiment commanded by Colonel PAISLEY at Rockingham 
Courthouse in the state of North Carolina and marched from thence to Guilford 
Courthouse, where we rendezvoused. We marched from Guilford Courthouse to Deep 
River in Randolph County where we were stationed a few days, and after 
remaining there some short time, we returned home. We were gone in this 
expedition against the Tories five or six weeks.”
“In the year 1781, I was again called into service (still retaining my 
commission as Lieutenant), by Colonel PAISLEY and served three months under 
Captain WILLIAM GLENN in the regiment commanded by Colonel PAISLEY at Guilford 
Courthouse, and from thence we marched to Salisbury where we remained until I 
was discharged…”
