ANDREW DAVIS



    Andrew Davis applied for revolutionary pension while living in Bledsoe

County. He was born Dec. 21, 1750 in the Waxsaw settlement of South Carolina. He

was living there when he enlisted Nov. 1, 1775, under Capt. John Barkley, Col.

Richardson and Gen. Sumpter, serving two months. He enlisted again and was in

Charleston during the battle of Sullivan's Island but was not in the battle. In

1777 he served under Capt. James Pettigrew, Col. Samuel Jack and Col William

Terrell in a regiment which was called the Minute Troops. He served in 1779

under Capt. Robert Davis. He volunteered in a cavalry company in Lincoln County,

N. C., under Capt. Samuel Martin. His papers were lost when his house was

burned. He knew Andrew Jackson as a boy. He moved from South Carolina to Iredell

County, N. C., during the Revolution and subsequently he moved to Rutherford

County, Tenn., to Warren County, Tenn., and to Bledsoe County. He then moved to

Benton County, Ala., and applied to have his pension transferred to that county.
