JOHN F. MARION



    John F. Marion applied for revolutionary pension while living in Bedford

County, Tennessee, in 1832. He was born in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania,

October 14, 1760. While living in Mecklinburg County, North Carolina, he

enlisted in June, 1779, in Captain William Alexander's and Captain Samuel

Martin's company, Colonel William Folk's North Carolina regiment. During the

battle of Eutaw Springs his horse was killed under him and he was wounded in his

right leg. After ten months' service he re-enlisted in Captain James Simons'

company, Colonel Wads Hampton's regiment of light horse in which he served

eighteen months. After the War he moved to the Moravian settlement in North

Carolina where he enlisted in a regiment of North Carolina troops raised for the

protection of white settlers in what was then called the Cumberland settlement,

now Middle Tennessee. He moved to Williamson County, Tennessee, and later to

Bedford County, Tennessee, where he died.
