JOHN DOSS



   John Doss applied for revolutionary pension while living in Marion County,

October, 1826, when he was 86 years old, therefore born 1840. He enlisted March

17 1777 in Pittsylvania County, Va., under Capt. Thomas Dullard, Col. Morgan and

others. He says that he marched through the wilderness 600 miles across the

Mississippi to Illinois town and back to Virginia. He was honorably discharged

after two years service, but while moving down the River the boat sank and all

his papers were lost. He moved to Marion County, Tenn.
