(NOTE: It appears that William Pattillo joined the Shakers early on. Above are his biography and dates of birth and death written in their “Graveyard Book”.  The information conflicts with William Pattillo’s information he gave under oath in his Revolutionary War Application. The date of death is likely correct in the Shaker’s Graveyard Book – but it appears they had his birth information incorrect. His birth information was likely taken after his death from family or friends who may not have known his exact birth year/day.  For his year of birth, I would go with the Revolutionary War Application as this was his own testimony).  

(See Absolom Chisum’s page – he was also a member of the Shakers – he was the brother of Sarah Chisum who was married to William Pattillo). 

1833 Sept 2 – Logan County, State of Kentucky } … this 2d day of September 1833 personally appeared … William Pattillo a resident in said County of Logan in the State of Kentucky aged 73 years …
… He was born in Charlotte County in the State of Virginia in the month of May 1760. He has no written record of his age but derived from his parents information in reference to his birth.
… He enlisted in the service of the United States in the Summer of the year 1780 for the term of 18 months at Mr Spencers in said County of Charlotte under Captain Overton as a private. We rendezvued at Brunswick Court House but were soon marched from there to Chesterfield Barracks, Jeddings Spencer and Joseph Morton went with us from Charlotte … as fit persons to command the comany to which your declarant was to be attached and the former was appointed Lieutenant after we reached said Barracks one Reed was appointed Captain, one Colon Davis had the command at said Barracks. During the ensuing Winter the British came up to West Ham on James River. We marched down and met them. At this time Captain Culberson had the command of the company to which he belonged. The british retreated on an approach through Richmond on the North side of the River & our troops continued on the South side. We marched through Petersburg to the junction of the Appamton(sp?) River with James River where the British shipping lay. Here we had a night skirmish. The British went on board their vessels and sailed down the river.
We were then ordered back to the barracks at Chesterfield Court House where we remained till we drew clothing and underwent a general reviews.
About this time there was a call for troops to assist Genl Green who had the command of the Southern Army. We were ordered to his relief and marched in the month of February.
We crossed the Roanoak at Taylors Ferry and joined Genl Greens Army at or near Hillsborough, North Carolina. A short time before the battle at Guilford Courthouse the regiment to which he belonged at this time was commanded by Colo A Campbell who was afterwards killed at the Battle of Utaw Springs. He was in the Battle of Guilford Courthouse.
From here we marched to Campden the British stationed there made battle. We drove them into the garrison and that night they marched off.
From here we marched to the post of Ninety Six in South Carolina and beseiged that place which was garrisoned by a British force under one Colo. Stewart or Genl Stewart. After some days the British having received reinforcement Genl Green thought ? to raise the seige and did so. Immediately after the seige he was transferred to Colon Lee’s Legion of Dragoons and placed under the command of Capt Armstrong. We were stationed a short time at the High Hills of Santee in this neighborhood we had many skirmishes. Marching and counter marching until the Battle of Utaw Springs. your declarant fought in said Legion in this Battle which was the last fight he was in.
Soon after the battle he was taken sick and sent to the hospital at the High Hills of Santee where he remained until his term of enlistment expired, which was the last day of December.
He thinks the Battle at Utaw Springs was in September. He served out the full term of enlistment which was for 18 months for which he received a written discharge at or near Charlotte Town in North Carolina which said discharge is lost or mis-laid.
He knows of no other person by whom he can prove his services except the individual whose affidavit is hereto attached.
He hereby relinquishes every claim whatsovere to a pension or annuity except present and declares that his name is not on the Pension Roll of the agency of any State.
