6 Sept. 1832 Franklin County Daniel MCCOY, resident of Winchester town, states he was born in the Shire of Sutherland in northern part of Scotland about July 1750. He does not believe andy record of his age ever existed. He enlisted in the company commanded by Capt. Charles GOODMAN and Col. BURGESS in 1779 and served for two months, guarding prisoners an Albemarle County, Virginia. He served again under Capt. FOX and Col. RICHARDSON, and again under Capt. John MILLER and Col. Reuben LINDSAY, being at Yorktown to see the taking of CORNWALLIS. He burned his discharge papers 18 or 19 years ago, thinking them useless. He knows of no person by whom he can prove his service. A resident of Albemarle County during the war, he afterwards removed to Amherst County, Va., and from there he removed to his place about 19 years ago. John FARIS swears he knew Daniel MCCOY upwards of thirty (forty crossed out) years ago in Virginia, and he was then reputed to have been a soldier of the Revolution. Clergyman Robert DOUGAN and John DOUGHERTY attest to the reputation of the applicant. Note: There are no other papers in the file than the original declaration. This may have been at some time confused with the file of Daniel MCCOY who served in Pennsylvania and lived in Rutherford County, Tenn.
