Elbert-Pike-Statewide County GaArchives Military Records.....Bowen, Samuel January 21, 1833 Revwar - Pension ************************************************ Copyright. All rights reserved. http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/copyright.htm http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/ga/gafiles.htm ************************************************ File contributed for use in USGenWeb Archives by: Francesca Henle Taylor [email protected] February 3, 2006, 6:45 pm Declaration Captain Samuel Bowen of Elbert County, Georgia His declaration to obtain pension was made in Elbert County, Georgia on January 21, 1833, before the justice of the Inferior Court, at which time he deposed under oath and said: Deponent was 76 years old; that he entered the service as a volunteer in August 1779, as a private under Captain Nathan Clifton in the regiment commanded by Col. John Little, for a term of nine months, after which he was discharged; at the time of enlisting he was a resident of Montgomery County, (formerly Anson) in North Carolina, and that he enlisted at Salisbury, North Carolina. After enlisting he marched with his regiment to Moores Creek, North Carolina, thence to Charleston, South Carolina, and was with the American Army at that place when it was besieged by the British in the spring of 1780 and was there surrendered as a prisoner of war. Shortly after he broke from his imprisonment and returned to his home in North Carolina. Affiant also stated that he entered the service of the United States as a Captain of militia light-horse in the regiment commanded by Col. George Davidson and Col. William Lofton in 1781, and after serving eight months was discharged; that when he entered on this term of service he was residing in said Montgomery County and joined at Montgomery Court-house, North Carolina. From thence in different directions throughout the adjoining country til he arrived art Deep River, North Carolina, and at that place fought the Tories commanded by their Col. Fanning, where he received a wound in his arm; two days afterwards he again fought the Tories commanded by their Col. Elrod, when he received a wound in his leg; from thence to Drowning Creek in Anson County in the year aforesaid, at that place fought the Tories commanded by one McLendon; from thence went into the neighborhood of his residence and remained there until discharged from service. Affiant stated that he was born in Montgomery County (formerly Anson) County, North Carolina, August 16, 1756, and that there was a record of his birth but does not know where it now is. He has lived since the war in Montgomery County, North Carolina, until 1796 when he moved to York District, South Carolina where he lived until 1811, when he moved to Wilkes County, Georgia. He lived in Wilkes until 1826 when he moved to Elbert County where he has since resided. His application was signed by his mark, and was approved April 22, 1833, and he was enrolled to receive $230.00 annually to date from March 4, 1831. Mrs. Nancy Bowen, widow of the pensioner, made her declaration to obtain a widows pension, in the Superior Court of Pike County, Georgia, April 4, 1854. She testified that she was 52 years old; that her husband, Capt. Samuel Bowen, died in Pike County, Georgia, August 2, 1843, age 87 years; that they were married in Elbert County in January 1826 to the best of her recollection, and has not remarried since his death. He resided for 12 years in Pike County. John Neal and Allen W. Pryor, residents of Pike County, testify to her being the widow of said Capt. Samuel Bowen, having been acquainted with him and her and knows that she is still a widow. In a supplemental declaration the widow on May 15, 1854, testified that she and her said husband were married March 1835, instead of January 1826; she having been mistaken in her recollection of the date.

But after looking at Ancestry.com's Georgia Death Records I have found that not all death certificates for that time period are there in the courthouse. I called the Pike County Health Department this morning and they not have any death records. If you have a death to research that occurred 1919-1956, I have the index for the ones that are in the Probate office. Let me know the deceased and I will look it up for you to see if it is available locally. Otherwise you will have to order through state vital records.
