George
WAGGONER
S4384 West Tenn. #19039, $26.66/year issued 26 July 1833.
5 Sept 1832 Franklin County, George WAGGONER aged 72 states he was born in
1760 Bucks County, Pennsylvania, according to the record of his parents. He
possesses no personal records of his birth. He was at the battle of Briar Creek
but was employed as a wagoner. He volunteered in Orange County, N.C., and
served five months under Capt. John YOUNG and Col. SANDERS. He received a written
discharge but lost it when removing to Kentucky at an earl period. His brother-
in- law was Lt. Maj. in a 9 months regiment Some time
in the winter of 1780/1781 he volunteered again in the same county, in a
company of mounted infantry under Capt. GRISHAM, Maj. William MCCULLER and
Capt. TAYLOR. Shortly afterwards he volunteered in a company of rangers
commanded by Abraham ALLEN. and Lt. Joseph YOUNG. The day before Hillsborough
was taken the company had a severe battle with the enemy on nearby KIRK'S plantation.
LT. YOUNG was mortally wounded and soon died. This applicant was shot through
the right arm a short distance above the wrist, which has troubled him much
ever since. He was unable to serve for one month and then served scouring the
country for Tories, " with whom that devoted section of the
country was much infested." He can prove his service by Thomas KING
and his brother Solomon WAGGONER. He continued to reside in Orange County until
a few years after the war when he removed to Greene County, East Tennessee,
where he lived for 12 or 15 years. From there he moved to Barren County, Ky.,
where he lived for seven or eight years. He then removed to this county 24 or
25 years ago.
Thomas KING aged 64 or 65 states he was born and raised in Orange County, N.C.
and was raised form his earliest recollection with
the applicant and his family, their fathers lived with in
two miles of one another. He has a clear recollection of the battle of KIRKS
plantation, and was well aquatinted with the officers and many of the men on
both sides. The company muster ground was on his father's land. Deponent
removed to this county 22 years ago.
Clergyman Robert DOUGAN and Capt. James LEWIS vouch for WAGGONER'S age and
reputation.
Larkin REAGAN states he served with WAGGONER in Capt. YOUNG'S company during
the war.
26 May 1833 Franklin County, George WAGGONER, aged 72, clarifies the length of
his various terms. after refreshing his memory in conversation with Thomas
KING. he recalls that he served in Abraham ALLEN'S company of rangers for six
months. At the time of the Commencement of his third term there were three Tories
hanged at Hillboro: RICKETTS, POE AND DARK.
NOTE: Chatham County, NC records: During this term seven have been capitally convicted, to-wit: Samuel Poe, for Burglary; Thomas Ricketts, Merideith Edwards, Thomas Eastridge and Thomas Dark, for High Treason; William Duke and Thomas Hunt, for Hose Stealing.
