DAR Patriot #A050704 Revolutionary War Pension App No. R4613

Although pension was rejected since his service did not qualify under the pension act as Military Service, his "Patriotic Service" has been verified. Descendant, Pamela McCunn, has proven lineal descent from Phillip Harless and is listed under his name in the DAR GRS index.^[1]

At the young age of 16, during the Revolutionary War Phillip Harless was riding the frontier with his brothers. Harless spent his entire war service protecting the garrison (near Smithfield). “That the nature of his services was to remain in the Fort for its defense in case it were attacked by Indians, and to hold himself in readiness to go to the assistance of any other Fort that might be attacked.” He served in the Smithfield area from 1 April to 1 October 1777, and then again from 1 April to 1 October 1778. He provided similar service from 1 April to 1 October 1779 in the garrison at Sinking Creek, Virginia, and finally from 1 April to 1 October 1880 in the garrison at Stony Creek. Phillip didn’t just defend the garrisons, he also performed reconnaissance with spying parties to watch for approaching Indians.
