Declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress, passed June 7, 1832.

State of Tennessee	}						September Sessions 1832
Henry County		}					of Court of Pleas and Quarter	Sessions

On this day the fourth day of September 1832 personally appeared in open court, before the Justices of said County of Henry now sitting, Edmond Hogan, aged seventy years, a resident citizen of the county of Henry & State aforesaid, who being duly sworn according to law, on his oath makes the following declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the Act of Congress, passed June 7, 1832:  that in the War of the Revolution he resided in the County of Anson, State of N. Carolina; that in the month of October 1780, or November, the day he can not recollect, when about eighteen years of age, volunteered as a mounted gunman as a private, in Capt. James Fletcher’s company, and Col. Thomas Wade’s Regt., to defend their country from the Tories; the company was embodied & stationed at Robt. Lee’s at the mouth of Lane’s Creek on Rocky River, and their business was to scan through that part of the country & prevent depredations of the Tories, who were verry [sic] numerous; he was attached to nor served with no regular officers during that tour.  He was then attached to Capt. William Bracken’s company & went into South Carolina, scouting & helped to drive away a large drove of cattle within twenty miles of Cornwallis’s headquarters; during this campaign under Capt. Bracken, he went on several scouting parties among the Tories on Drowning Creek, Gum Swamp & Shoe Hill, and had a skirmish at Betty’s Bridge on Drowning Creek, all this in N. Carolina; can’t tell how many Tories were killed; he continued under Capt. Bracken until September 1781, when he was ordered under Capt. John Dejarnett on a campaign to drive the Brittish from Wilmington N. Carolina, Col. Ward’s Reg’t. & Gen. Rutherford commanding; Col. Wade was elected to the Assembly & they were attached to Col. Smith; while they were in the neighborhood of Wilmington, they attacked a body of Brittish in a brick house on the opposite side of Cape Fear from the town, and as it was reported, killed & wounded about thirty & only lost one man killed, continued under Dejarnett about three months, when a few weeks after the capture of Cornwallis, they were marched home & discharged in Anson County; after this he again fell under Capt. Bracken and was detached to collect cattle on Drowning Creek & carry on to Gen. Greene in South Carolina, on the head of Ashley River between Charlestown South Carolina & Savannah Georgia; in this business, he was engaged about three months, that all his services amounts, as well as he recollects, to about sixteen months; states that he was born in Pittsylvania County Virginia on the 17th June 1762, as appears by his father’s old family Bible, now in the possession of his brother; he, at the age of seven, moved to N. Carolina; since the War he moved to the western country and has lived in Kentucky, Missouri & Tennessee for the last forty eight years & now lives in this county; states that his discharges, when he returned from service, he gave to his father & does not recollect what has become of them.  He thinks one was signed by his captain John Dejarnett.  He has no dockumentary testimony to prove his service, and could not prove the same, except one tour by his fellow soldier Lewis Atkins, who was on the tour to Wilmington, and in the same company.  I am also well acquainted, and for a long time been acquainted with, Lemuel Myrick, a clergyman, and Elias Bowden, both citizens of Henry Cty. Tennessee.

He hereby relinquishes any claim 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.

Sworn to & subscribed in open court the day & year afor’d.

	The amended declaration of Edmond Hogan for the purpose of obtaining a pension under the provisions of the act of Congress passed June 7th, 1832.

State of Tennessee						May Term 1833
Henry County							of the Circuit Court

	This day personally appeared in open court Edmond Hogan, who after being duly sworn according to law, made the following declaration in addition to and as an amendment to a declaration made at the September Sessions 1832, of Henry County Court by him for the purpose of obtaining the benefit of the act of Congress passed June 7th 1832.
	That from his old age & debility and consequent loss of memory, he cannot state with exact precision his length of service in the War of the Revolution, but from his best recollection, he served that from the first of November or last of October 1780, he served as a Private under Capt. James Fletcher’s company and in Col. Wade’s Reg’t. a tour of three months.
	His second tour of service under Capt. William Bracken, also as a private, as well as can now recollect, eleven months actual service (he would here state that when he made his former declaration, he thought that it was between ten & eleven months, but since reflecting about the matter, he is confident that under that Captain, he was engaged the time he has now stated).
	His third tour was under Capt. John Dejarnett on a campaign to Wilmington, commanded by Gen. Rutherford, where he served three months & received a discharge from Dejarnett for said time & which he gave to his father as before stated.  In addition to this, he again fell under his old Captain William Bracken, and served one month in collecting cattle for Gen. Greene as he before stated, in this he was engaged one month, which he has included in the second tour, as the best means he had to come at the precise term of service, was to estimate the period in which he was engaged under each Captain.
All of his services for which he claims a pension from his country amounts to seventeen months.
