• Pension:

Thomas Young of the County of Mason and State of Kentucky, do hereby declare that I was Commissioned a Captain in the Regiment commanded by Colonel Joseph Crockett, of the Army of the Revolution on the 8th day of November 1779 and served as a Captain until said Regiment was regularly Discharged, after which myself, Colonel Crockett & the other officers returned home as supernumeraries holding ourselves in readiness to return to the service when called upon. I furthermore declare that I am now the only surviving officer of that Regiment, and that I never have received any Pension or Gratuity from Congress for my services. State of Kentucky Mason County This day Thomas Young personally appeared before me the undersigned a justice of the peace in & for the County aforesaid & made oath to the truth of the above Declaration. Given under my hand & seal this 21st day of November 1831 S/ James Blair, JP State of Kentucky County of Mason August 1832 On this 14th day of August 1832 personally appeared in open Court before William P. Roper Judge of the Circuit Court for the 1st Judicial Circuit in the County & State aforesaid – now sitting – Thomas Young a resident of Maysville in the County of Mason and State of Kentucky – aged eighty-one 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 of the United States under the following named officers and served as herein stated – That about the month of June 1779 – he was directed to raise a company of men to serve in the Western Battalion of the Virginia State line – he did go on, and raised or enlisted his company, and in the fall, in the months of September or October, received a commission as Captain from the Governor of Virginia – in the winter of the same year he was ordered to March his Company to Albemarle Barracks in the State of Virginia, and report themselves to Colonel Crockett to whose Regiment he was attached – which he did – and remained on duty at the said Barracks guarding the prisoners which were there then until the fall of the year 1780 – at which time some of the prisoners were removed to Frederickstown [Fredericktown] in Maryland and the Regiment to which he was attached was sent with the prisoners – and remained Guarding them at Fredericktown in Maryland until March or April 1781 – at which time Crockett's Regiment was ordered to Pittsburgh and report themselves to General George Rogers Clarke [George Rogers Clark] – where we arrived about the last of the month of May 1781 – and from thence under the command of General George Rogers Clark as commander of the expedition descended the River Ohio to the falls of Ohio at Louisville, where we remained on duty until the 25th day December 1781 – at which time, the time of enlistment of the men expired and they were discharged and the officers of Crockett's Regiment returned home as supernumeraries – and were not again called into service – during the whole of which time this affiant remained with his Regiment and in command of his Company. In the spring of the year 1780 – owing to a difference between the officers of Crockett's Regiment as to priority – this affiant surrendered up his commission and new commissions were then delivered to all the officers of one date – he states that when he was first called into service and directed to raise his Company of men he resided in Prince William County in the State of Virginia and removed to Kentucky in fall of the year 1783 where he has resided ever since – he further states that he has retained in his possession his Commission until within the last 12 or 18 months when he has lost the same or placed it in the possession of his counsel who was urging his claim upon Virginia for 5 years full pay or ½ pay for life – which by the laws of Virginia he was instructed he was entitled to – for his services. He hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension or annuity except the present & declares that his name is not on the pension Roll of the agency of any State. He does not intend the above relinquishment to extend to his claim upon Virginia – or upon the United States provided she has or does assume to pay the liability of Virginia to the Officers of the Virginia State line – for their services in the Revolutionary War.
