ALEXANDER RITCHIE



     Alexander Ritchie applied for revolutionary pension while living in

Claiborne County, Tenn., April 21, 1835. He was then 71 years old, therefore

born 1764. He entered the service in 1776 when he was residing in Montgomery

County, now Scott County, Va. He served as an Indian spy under Capt. James

Gibson. After the War he served again against the Indians. This was in 1786.

Some years after the Revolution he moved to Powell's Valley, near Cumberland

Gap, and from there moved to the place in Claiborne County where he resided at

the time he applied for his pension. A letter enclosed in the application says

that Mary Noel, widow of Richard Noel, applied for a pension.
