My dear Mr. Swank:

I have to advise you that from the papers in the Revolutionary War
pension claim S.7397 of George Roberts it appears that while a
resident of Wilkes County, North Carolina he enlisted the latter
part of 1777 and served as a private three years in Captain Samuel
Johnson's Company, Colonel Hardgrove's Regiment, North Carolina
Troops, was in skirmishes at Hanging Rock and near Charlotte, 
North Carolina, was transferred to Captain Harrison's or Harris'
Company, Colonel Miller's Regiment which concluded his three years
service; he then enlisted and served one year in Captain Moore's
Company, Colonel Miller's Regiment, was in battles of Guilford
and Ninety Six. After this service he was engaged as a Wagoner
to the close of the war.

He was allowed pension on his application executed January 1, 1852
while a resident of Buncombe County, North Carolina aged ninety-
four years.

He died in Buncombe County, North Carolina January 1, 1864, leaving 
one child, William V. Roberts who in 1888 was a resident of Haywood,
