THOMAS GANN



    Thomas Gann applied for revolutionary pension while living in Hamilton

County in February, 1833. He was born in Virginia, March 17, 1764. He moved to

Washington County, N. C., now Tennessee while he was young. He enlisted under

Capt. William Trimble and Col. John Sevier. The company was sent to Santee in

South Carolina and joined the army under Gen. Greene, marched from Santee to

Gen. Marion's Headquarters above Charleston and there discharged. Later he

served in a lighthorse company. He served "off and on" as a ranger until the

close of the War. He was in many skirmishes, one in the vicinity of King's

Mountain. He served under Col. Sevier in the Cherokee War and was in engagements

at Coosa and "Hightown." He considered himself in the service of the United

States or the State of North Carolina about six years. He was paid in

continental money. He had a brother, Carter Gann, who lived in Washington

County. He lived in Washington County 20 to 25 years and then moved to Rhea

County where he lived for 8 years. He then moved to Hamilton County about 1823.

His application gives the names of Justices of Hamilton County in 1833 and this

is the only surviving record of some of them as county officials.
