(This is for Jonathan Hubbard Davis's son Jonathan.)
On this sixteenth day of February 1839, personally appeared before me William Hunter one of the acting Justices of the peace in and for said County of White and State aforesaid -- Hannah Davis a resident of said County and State, aged ninety years the tenth day of the present month: (February) who being first duly sworn according to law, doth on her oath make the following declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the acts of Congress passed the 4th day of July 1836, the 7th day of June 1832 and all other acts of Congress passed for the relief; benefit of the widows of the Soldiers; officers of the revolution -- That she is the widow of Jonathan Davis -- who was a soldier of the revolution as this affiant is informed and believes, her said Husband served a tour of duty, but she cannot now state whether as a Militia man or volunteer nor where he went to, nor who he served under, it was before she was married to him, that she believes he returned home early in the year 1777. That about harvest of that year she was married to Jonathan Davis familiarly and commonly known by the name of Schoolmaster Davis. She will further state, from all that she can learn and remember, Jonathan Davis entered the Army early in the year 1780 as an officer of some kind, and was killed by the British in the battle at Camden on or about the month of October 1780 -- That she in company with Jonathan Davis's mother visited the Battle ground, a few days after the action, and all that they could hear of Jonathan Davis was that he was seen to fall in the Battle to rise no more -- killed. That Jonathan Davis entered the Army from Rowan County State of North Carolina that she has no documentary evidence whereby she can establish her claim for a pension. She cannot state the corps or grade in which he served and that she verily believes, and is well satisfied he was killed in action as stated, She further declares, that she was married to the said Jonathan Davis on or about the first day of July 1777 that her husband the said Jonathan Davis was killed in Battle as before stated at Camden in South Carolina on or about the 16th day of October 1780, and that she has remained a widow ever since that period, as will more fully appear by reference to the proof hereto annexed. Hannah Davis further declares that she had two sons by her marriage with said Johnson, that are now living to wit Augustus Parks Davis, born the 10th day of November 1778 and Jonathan C. Davis born the 28th day of October 1780 -- the last birth took place but a little time after the said Johnson was killed and that said Johnson entered the Army as well as she can now remember about the first of April 1780 he said he was promised great things if he could go so that I believe he entered the Army for during the war. Sworn to and subscribed before me on the day and date above written.
