On the 8th day of October 1832 formally appeared in open court before the Judge of circuit court of said county of Monroe, The same being a court of records and having general criminal and civil jurisdiction now sitting. Abraham May, a resident of Greene County, adjoining the said county of Monroe, aged seventy years, who being first duly sworn according to law, doth on his oath make the following declaration, in order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress, passed June 7, 1832. That he entered the service of the United States, as well as he now remembers about three years after the commencement of the Revolutionary War (The year he does not remember, being very frail and his memory much impaired) under the following named officers, and served as herein stated: He entered the service as a volunteer under Capt.

He received a discharge in writing by his commanding showing that he had honorably served his tour according to his engagement. His discharge has long since lost and has now no documentary proof of his said service. Nor does he know of any living witnesses by whom he can prove his said tour of duty except the testimony hereto amended of two of his younger brothers. He further states that the service was performed in the fall of the year. In the spring of the year, he thinks, in the month of April 1781, the declarant, was drafted and entered the service of the U.S. a drafted militia man, for the time of six months in the Virginia militia from Hampshire county under Captain Cunningham, but the command soon dissolved There was a Lieutenant B. J. Duncan under whom we joined a command declarant had been drafted before he was able to volunteer and never having reached Richmond that Cornwallis was taken. This declarant, after having taken the advice of the respectable citizens as to what he should do and being advised that, as his time had expired he might with propiety return home, he accordingly did so -- but he expressly declares, that he faithfully served the whole of the said tour of duty. He has no discrimintory proof of this service and is compelled to rely upon the statement which he makes of his services, and herein submit, together with the corroborating testimony that accompanies this declaration. For the following interrogations this declarant submits the following answers: 1. When and in what year were you born? Answer. In the lower part of Virginia in 1762. 2. Have you any record of your age? Answer. My age is recorded in the German Language in a testament which my brother now possesses -- having received it from my father in his lifetime. I know of no other record of my age. 3. Where have you lived since the revolution? Answer. Twenty odd years in N. Carolina, 15 years in Kentucky --- four years in Illinois, two years in Tennessee & four years in Indiana. To the fourth question in the directions from the Secretary of War, it will that the declarant --- for the first three months tour was a volunteer appears and for the six months tour, he was drafted.

This is what I do know about her family. She was the oldest daughter of Sylvester Theodore and Sallie Hubbard Mitchell. Sallie was Theodore's second wife. It is hard to track Theodore because some of the early census records show his name as Sylvestor, but most of the vital records have the name Theo or Theodore. He was the son of William and Julia Ann Brewer Mitchell. I hope that some of the others who were involved in this discussion earlier this month who are more directly related to this family get in touch with you. If not, I can send you what I have. I have some information on Alexander, but would like to verify that information with what you have. I have him as married to Elizabeth Ross with 12 children. I have tracked them through the 1900 census when Elizabeth was a widow and head of household and have made what I think are some pretty good guesses as to the children's spouses.
