Pension Application Of William Moore, Natl Archives Microseries M805, Roll __, Application #R7357
Orange County, NC, May 20th, 1848, William Moore, aged 85 years to the best of 
his belief: “That in the summer of 1781 he volunteered to serve a 3 month tour 
of duty in the United States service. ?Grissom was captain, he believes, and 
Malmedy colonel. That they rendezvoused in the town of Hillsborough, and were 
marched to the south and joined General Greene’s army, and was in the Battle at 
Eutaw Springs in the fall of said year and after the expiration of his 3 months 
tour, was verbally discharged in the aforesaid town of Hillsborough and 
returned [home?]” The declarant knows of no person now living  that served this 
tour with him, except James Dollar of Chatham County.”

“The declarant, the said William Moore further states that he served a 3 month 
tour of duty in the United States service in a company under command of 
Douglas, captain, O’Neal colonel, Butler, brigadier general. Were marched to 
the south, were stationed for a while at Bell’s Mills on Deep River, Grassy 
Islands and Pedee. The term of his service he cannot now recollect, but is 
under the impression it was the year before the Eutaw Battle. The declarant now 
further alleges that he knows of no person living that was in this tour with 
him.”

“The declarant further states, that in the spring of the following year, 1782, 
there was a draft for 3-months militiamen; when this declarant was detailed to 
guard the town of Hillsborough, in which were prisoners and military stores and 
etc, to guard. Perill was captain, Farmer Colonel, John Estes commissary.”

Additional Comments:
William Moore died January 14, 1849 and left this declaration for his children 
to make a claim. His wife, Martha Moore had died July 22, 1827. His children 
did file and included the pages from his Bible as proof they were his children.
