    4. [S107] Family Histories, The McClanahans Rev. William McClanahan Part 3.doc.
      THOMAS MARSHALL MCCLANAHAN (Wm. 3-2 Thos.1), b. Cople Parish, Westmoreland County, VA, 1753; to Fauquier Co., VA, ca. 1762
      STATE OF KENTUCKY)
      SIMPSON COUNTY ) S.S.
      On the 10th day of September, 1832, personally appeared before us in open Court before the County Court of the County of Simpson (taken from Allen, Logan, and Warren Co?s., 1819), aged about 80 (eighty) years, being first duly sworn according to law, doth, under his oath, make the following declaration in order to obtain benefit of the Act of Congress passed 7 June 1832 (based on need, hence many applications were rejected, Mrs. A.W.B. Bell) (Burns) ?that he entered the service of the United States under the following named officers and served therein as stated, viz: that he was born, according to the history of his family, in the County of Westmoreland in 1753, but principally raised in the counties of Fauquier and Culpepper, and that in the latter part of the summer or the first of the fall of the year 1775 he entered in the service of the United States in a regiment commanded by Col. Patrick Henry, Lt. Col. Christy, and attached to a company commanded by Capt. John Green, Richard Taylor, 1st Lt; John Houston, 2nd Lt.; John Lee, Ensign. The rendezvous was at Culpepper Court House; from there he was marched to Williamsburg and was occasionally in some little skirmishes with some British stopping at Burrel?s Ferry and Old Jamestown, and while yet detained at Jamestown, Col. Henry left the regiment and entered the legislature of Virginia or filled some other civil post, and the command of the regiment devolved on some other officer not now remembered.
      About nine months after he first marched to Williamsburg (Sept. to May, MLM), the 2nd Virginia Regiment commanded by Col. Alexander Spottswood was brought down to Williamsburg, also, and the said McClanahan was, by the consent of the said Richard Taylor (then Capt. Of the company, the said John Green having been promoted to the office of Major), transferred to the Second regiment and took the place of a soldier by the name of Reuben McKinney, and the said McKinney took the said McClanahan?s place in the said regiment of the said company commanded by the said Richard Taylor.
      The said company was not long after marched somewhere to the north tent; the 2nd Regiment to which he now belonged continued at Williamsburg until late in the fall of 1776; then the said McClanahan was marched with the said regiment from Williamsburg to Fredericksburg, where they remained but a short time. From thence they marched through Alexandria to Baltimore; from there they took shipping and went to Annapolis, according to his best recollection, in pursuit it was said then, of tories, who were said to have been embodied on the eastern shore of Maryland, but found no tories.
      They were then marched to New Castle on the Delaware River, said to be about five miles from Wilmington, where the regiment was inoculated with the small pox, and remained until the spring of 1777, when it was again marched to Philadelphia, and there for the first time, furnished with clothing at the public expense. While there he was one of the guards to a man whose name was probably Dunbar who was hung in the suburbs of the city for some traitorous crime not now remembered.
      From Philadelphia the regiment was marched through a little town called Bristow or Bristoll, on the Pennsylvania side of the Delaware River opposite (if not misremembered) Burlington; thence across the river to Trenton on the Jersey shore; thence to Princeton. This place the regiment reached not long after a battle had been fought between the Americans and the British in which it was that General Mercer fell (battle, Jan. 3, 1777). After remaining here a while they were marched to Bondbrook on the Rareton (Raritan) River, which was quite in the vicinity of the British army then posted at Brunswick and Amboy, and here the regiment remained but a few days ere it was marched to a place called Middle Brook (now Boundbrook) at which the main army was encamped, commanded by General Washington. This was in the latter part of the spring or the first part of the summer of 1777 (Morristown, NJ, was winter headquarters of Washington in 1776/7; it was 17 miles above Princetown.)
      While McClanahan was here there were several small engagements between scouting parties of British and Americans; some of which he was in, and some not. In one of them there was an Ensign White and perhaps 20 men attacked in a rye field by a party of British Light Horse and all, or nearly all, were cut to pieces, with the said officer. He was in a small fight himself in which one of the British Guard Houses was taken, a Major killed, and the balance taken prisoners. It was here that General Morgan rendered such effective service when the British retreated with their force at Brunswick and Amboy, killed many men on the march. Here, McClanahan was one of a file of twelve men who shot a deserter condemned by court martial.
      It was not long after the British retreated at Brunswick and Amboy that General Washington marched the army to the Head of the Elk River, but not as he knows, for a few days before the army moved he was taken with what was then called ?Camp Fever,? which produced a delirium on him for some days. When he came to he was informed by a soldier in whose care he had been left that the army marched as above stated. It was some time before he got to Philadelphia from there as the British entered Philadelphia. Together with the other sick that were in the said city, he was taken to Burlington. Here, having obtained his health, he attempted to rescue a butcher, whom he, McClanahan, together with another had arrested by order of Captain (William) Washington, who afterwards commanded a troop of Horse in the south, for abuse and insolent language to the said Captain Washington, and he was honorably discharged and acquitted and the said commissary, he understood, was discharged from the service.
      From Burlington he went to the main army which was then situated at what was then called the Cross Roads, or Chestnut Hill. At this place a short time he relapsed into the said fever; from that time he lost his recollection until he found himself in East Town in New Jersey; from this, having gotten his health, he went to the main army again, stationed at Valley Forge, and his second enlistment now nearly expired, he, about the first of the year, 1778, enlisted in a company of Horse commanded by (he thinks) Capt. William Barrett, who belonged to Col. Baylor?s Regiment (Col. George Baylor, 1st Va. Light Dragoons) for three years, or during the war. One of the considerations of the enlistment was that he was to get a furlough for three months and twenty dollars to bear his expenses home. This, together with his furlough, was accordingly given him with orders to rendezvous again in Fredericksburg, VA, on the 10th day of April 1778.
      Accordingly, he met the said Capt. Barret in Fredericksburg and there got the said Capt. Barret to receive one John Green, whose sister he had in the meantime married in Culpepper County, VA, in his (the said McClanahan?s) place and got from the said officer a full discharge, which was lost in the burning of his father?s house in Culpepper some few years ago.
      Here ended his Revolutionary services except a short tour of duty performed afterwards in North Carolina when General Greene was retreating into Virginia from Cornwallis, under Capt. James Ward in a reg?t. commanded by Col. (William) Preston (Preston was County Lt. of Botetourt County) and he went into the service from Botetourt County, VA, where he then lived. He was in two skirmishes with the British on this tour; one at the Altemage River, and the other at the Ruddy Fork of the Haw River.

      His first enlistment was in the regiment commanded as aforesaid by Col. Patrick Henry (1st Va. Reg?t.) was for 12 months, the next one he entered the 2nd Va. Reg?t. commanded by Col. Alexander Spottswood as aforesaid was for two years, and that in the said Baylor?s regiment was for three years, or during the war. In conformity with all of which he served about three years.
      From Botetourt he moved to Montgomery County (see deed, J.A.S.). From there he went to Kentucky in 1778 and settled in what is now called Bourbon County, and shared largely in the Indian Wars which then and for some time after were carried on in the west. He was in the battle at Harmer?s Defeat at the Maumee Town, belonging to the immediate command of David Tharp (Thorp?), who, together with every man in his company was killed, except the said McClanahan along with seven or eight others.
      He was a spy in the expedition of Gen. Whayne (Wayne) under the immediate command of General Scott from Kentucky in 1793. From Bourbon he moved to Logan County, KY, and settled in that part that now constitutes a part of the said Simpson County, about the year 1802 or 3, and in that part he has lived ever since.
      He now has little or no property, a wife and seven children living with him, having had in all twenty (20) and as much as any man needs a pension or annuity except the present and declares his name is not on the pension roll of any State whatever.
      Subscribed and sworn before me the date aforesaid and year aforesaid.
