The name of the war unknown but list of invalid pensioners of Fayette Co, Ky printed in 1835, shows him as private 1st regiment, Price's levies pensioned from March 4-1789 under act June 7-1785. He is said to have been wounded while in service in his right wrist hand and figures he is about age 60 in Aug. 1-1817. This information is in a letter by Walter Warfield, a doctor of Lexington, Ky, which is said on the back of said letter; that it appears to be inscribed on the roll of Pennsylvania at $3 per month increased by the act of the 24th April 1816 to $4.80. The claimant applies for an increase of pensions and it is also presumably that he would wish to be transferred to the roll of Kentucky from the circumstances of the evidence being obtained in this state. The transfer has been accordingly made at the request of Hon. Henry Clay, affidavit Robert Trimble, Judge for the District of Kentucky. He had a sickly wife and two small children. His pension seems to have been transferred from Pennsylvania 1817.
