(Note: As seen in the survey, the land was originally warranted to Walter Chisholm. Walter Chisholm assigned this land warrant to William Chisholm (who appears to be his brother). William Chisholm must have sold the rights to this land – as neither William or Walter has any record of ever moving to Kentucky, or leaving Virginia)

(Note: It appears that William Chisholm of Albemarle Co, Va would occasionally speculate on land with is brother Walter Chisholm Jr – see the below deed in 1799 related to Wilkes County, Georgia – another deed where there is no evidence that either William or Walter ever moved to or lived in Georgia or Kentucky – they both appear to have lived their lives until death in the Hanover/Louisa/Albemarle County, Virginia areas).

That he was born in the county of Hanover in the same neighbourhood where he now resides as well as he can recollect on the 19th of April 1732 having seen a family register many years ago in which it was so stated – but that register is now lost. That when the revolutionary war broke out he was Ensign in Capt Anderson’s Company of Hanover Militia. That he was very frequently drafted and never hired a substitute except once [James Hall, pension application S6946]. That owing to his great age his recollection of the events of that period is very obscure and that consequently he cannot recollect the number of tours precisely, or the officers under whom he served.
That he remembers serving under Captains Anderson and [Francis] Underwood Colonels Symme [possibly Charles Simms] and [William] Dandridge and Generals Lafayette Muhlenburgs [sic: Peter Muhlenberg] and [Thomas] Nelson –
That several times during his service he crossed James River at the Manacin town [sic: Manakin] and marched into the lower country of Virginia into the neighbourhood of Williamsburg and York and that he was in the retreat under Lafayette through Henrico Hanover Sopsylvania [sic: Spotsylvania] Orange Culpeper and Louisa Counties and was at the cutting of the road called the Marquiss Road [sic: Marquis Road, 12-14 Jun 1781] through Louisa & Albamarle counties.
He recollects being in no battle.
That to the best of his recollection he served at least six tours and that he was always an Ensign and his service continued at least eight months. That he had a commission but does not recollect by whome it was signed or what has become of it and has no documentary evidence – that he knows of no person whose testimony he can procure to any part of his services and that he cannot procure a clergyman to made the usual certificate.
…….
And that he would refer for his character and reputation to Charles Thompson Jun’r. and James Underwood Esquires.
He hereby relinquishes all 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 or Teritory.
