D. Martin one of the Judges of the Court of Common Pleas in said State for the District aforesaid now sitting Andrew Floid [Floyd] a resident of said District of York in the State of South Carolina aged Eighty Three years who being first duly sworn according to law doth on his oath make the following statement & declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the Act of Congress passed the 7th day of June 1832. That he was born in August 1750 in the State of Virginia in Frederick County as appears from an entry of his Birth in an old book now in his possession which is all the record he has and which he believes to be true. In the year 1769 he moved to the County of then Tryon now Lincoln in the State of North Carolina. That he joined as a volunteer in an Army the Regiment of which he belonged was commanded by Colonel Thomas Neel. That he entered said Army as a private some time (he thinks) in the year 1776 having still lived in the then County of Tryon; that the Army marched into South Carolina intending to surprise an Army of Tories & British under the command of Colonel Cunningham [Patrick Cunningham]. That some where near 96 our Army came up on the Enemy and put them to flight taking about 14 prisoners and some ammunition. (This Expedition has been called the Snowy Campaign). The Army then divided and this deponent returned to Tryon with Captain John Barber and many others. The weather being very severe having been in service upwards of six weeks. The next spring he entered as a private in a volunteer Company commanded by Captain James Baird in an Army commanded by a certain Martin who he thinks was then a General in an Expedition to a place in North Carolina then called Cross Creek now Fayetteville. But before reaching they received intelligence of the Tories having left the place. The Army was then ordered back and he returned again to Tryon having been out in this tour about six weeks. Soon after the return a call was made for men to Guard the frontiers from the ravages of the Indians and an Army being raised under the command of General Rutherford [Griffith Rutherford] and Colonel William Graham. This deponent was appointed an adjutant in said Army and acted as such but does not now recollect whether he had a commission or not. The Army marched into the Cherokee Nation and having destroyed their Towns and Crops and returned home having been in this rout as near as he can now recollect about two months. After our return the Army was kept in motion in order to keep down the Tories, he still acting as adjutant. And the next spring was sent with an Army commanded by Captain Robert Alexander to the head of Catawba River to guard the frontiers against the Indians in which duty they were engaged about six weeks when they returned home to Tryon and was still engaged in scouting and skirmishing with the Tories until a call was made for men to oppose Colonel Floyd a commander of the British or Tory forces then in the edge of South Carolina. Colonel Graham & Col. Hambright with their Army were sent on and this deponent still acting as adjutant went with them. That after entering South Carolina found that the said Floyd & his forces had moved off. Our forces were informed that a considerable body of Tories had collected at Ramsour's Mill in Tryon County North Carolina. The Army then marched over into Mecklenburg and joined the Army under General Rutherford and marched into the Tryon but before reaching Ramsour's another party of Americans had attacked & defeated the Tories. Still continuing in the Army and marching in different directions in order to keep down the disaffected. On the 7th of October 1780, the Army under the command of Colonels Shelby [Isaac Shelby], Sevier [John Sevier], Campbell [William Campbell] & others attacked & defeated Colonel Ferguson [Patrick Ferguson] & his Army at King's Mountain. After this engagement this deponent returned with the Army to Tryon but the British forces then lying in Charlotte made it necessary to keep up constant scouting parties in which he still was engaged and so continued as Adjutant in the American Army until the end of the War. Which he is well satisfied was over two years. After the revolutionary war was over he then removed with his Family to York District South Carolina where he has lived ever since. He hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension or annuity except the present and declares that his name is not on the pension roll of the Agency of any State. Sworn to and subscribed the day & year aforesaid. He has now no discharges, nor can he furnished any written evidence of his services. He refers to the annexed certificates on oath to prove the truth of his statements. S/ Andrew Floyd
