I found this article at my local LDS Center in the Sutherland Collections PART # 1 John Mullens, old Revolutionary War soldier, 60 years of age, states that he enlisted in the service of the United States in 1779 for three years. That he enlisted under the command of Captain Henry Conway who was a Captain under the command of Col. Ball, who commanded the First Virginia Regiment. That he was at the taking of Stony Point and continued in the service of the United States and was in the battle of the Siege of Charleston, where he was taken prisoner by the British Officer Mounteen, was taken to England as a prisoner and kept there till peace was made. That he never had it in his power to return to America for 10 or 11 years, but after he returned, he received an honorable discharge. He put his discharge, his certificate for bounty but he, in a short while, became insolvent and apparently deranged so that I have never received one dollar for all my services. Said Mullins further states that he is poor and in indigent circumstances and needs the assistance of his county for his support, and therefore he prays to be placed on the pension list. Sworn to in open Court of the said County on May 18th, 1818. His John X. Mullins mark John Kelly made oath: That he lives neighbor to John Mullins, the person who made the above application. That he is a poor man and needs the assistance of his county. His John X. Kelly mark Floyd County, Kentucky. On Monday 26th of May 1825, John Mullins appeared in Court and made declaration on oath: That he is 65 years of age and a resident of said county. He made affidavit to his services, similar as above and stated that after he returned from his imprisonment, he received and honorable discharge from Captain Conway, the Captain under whom he served. He also received a certificate for Bounty Land and his wages. That he placed them into the hands of Richard Wm. (?) as above stated and that after he, William Wan (?), became deranged and insolvent, he has never gotten his discharge and has not since seen it. He made a list of his property and stated that he had not, by sale, gift or otherwise, disposed of his property so that it would bring him within provision of receiving a pension. He further states that his family consists of his wife, aged about 50 years, named Nancy, and three children, named John aged 15 years, Betsy aged 11 years, and Joshua aged 8 years. His wife is very sickly and infirm and his family is not able to contribute any to his support, worth naming. His occupation is that of a farmer, buy he is too old to pursue it. He lives upon a small piece of rented ground and it is with much difficulty that he gets it cultivated to make bread for his family. That he made his original declaration, but has not received it. He refers, for further information, to his former declaration, on file in the War Department. Joshua Mullins aged about 63, states that he is well acquainted with the present applicant, John Mullins, and that he is a brother to the old solider. That his brother, said John Mullins enlisted and served as he stated. That he has frequently heard him tell of his experiences in the service and has heard men who were taken prisoner with the said John Mullins, tell of John Mullins being with them. That he was taken prisoner to England with them and kept there until Peace was made. That he placed his honorable discharge and papers, as stated, into the hands of Richard Wan (?) and that he thinks his brother John Mullins did not see again, because Richard Wan (?) was immediately broken up and became insolvent. Floyd County, Kentucky. Silas P. Wooten, old Revolutionary War solider, states on oath, before James W. Brown Justice of the Peace, that he is well acquainted with John Mullins, old Revolutionary War soldier. That he knew him in the Revolutionary War, for 14 or 15 months, as an enlisted soldier. And then he was departed from that part of the army in which this deponent served. He understood afterward that he was taken prisoner by the British, at the Siege of Charleston, South Carolina.
