Perry Co., State of Kentucky.
On this 12th day of August 1833 personally appeared in open court before the Justices of the Co. Court of Perry Co. now sitting, Stephen Cordill, a resident of Perry Co., aged 70 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 7th 1832. That he entered the service as a volunteer in the Militia of the United States shortly before General Gates defeat at Camden, South Carolina for three months in Wilkes Co. North Carolina where he lived in Capt. John Morgan's Company in Col. Ben Hern's Regt, in the line of the State of North Carolina. From Wilkes he marched to the mouth of Rocky River, then back to guard the frontier of Wilkes against the Tories and Indians and after serving out his term aforesaid he was honorably discharged at the mouth of Rockey River in Wilkes Co., North Carolina by Col. Noah who then commanded the Regt shortly after Gates' defeat. He does not remember any regular officers. He again entered the service some time before the Battle at Kings Mountain as a volunteer for three months in Wilkes Co. where he lived in Capt. Samuel Johnson's Co in Col. Cleaveland's Regt. His major was Dick Allen. He was marched from there to King's Mountain and was in hearing of the Battle but the foot party did not reach the Battle in time but in time to receive the prisoners as they were taken. He remembers to have seen Col. Shelby and General Campbell. He was marched back to Wilkes Co. as a guard of the prisoners when after serving out his tour he was honorably discharged by Col. Cleaveland in Wilkes Co., North Carolina. Next in l78l in Wilkes Co., North Carolina, where he resided, he volunteered for three months in Capt. Johnson's Company in the 5th Regt (Col's name forgotten) on the line of the State of North Carolina. He was marched from Wilkes to Surrey and then back to Wilkes and after serving out his term of three months he was discharged in the year 1781 in Wilkes Co. by Capt. Samuel Johnson. On this trip he recollects no regular officers. He was born in Lunenberg Co., Va. At each time he lived in Wilkes Co., North Carolina where he entered the service. Since he has lived in Wilkes then moved to Kentucky where he now lives. His discharges he has long since lost not knowing that they would ever profit him anything.
