He states he entered the service of the United States in the Revolutionary War in what was called Washington County Virginia sometime in the spring season of the year 1777 the precise time not recollected. He volunteered to serve a tour of three months as a private soldier under the command of Capt. William Asher [or Ashen] and went on to Little Station on Holston River to guard the same and after continuing in service the full Term of three months, he was verbally discharged by his said Capt. and returned home. He again volunteered and entered the service of the United States in said county of Washington in Virginia some time in the month of March 1779, the precise day of the month [not] recollected to serve a tour of three months as a private soldier under Capt.

We were marched back home and again verbally discharged by his said Capt. having served out his full tour of three months. He has no written or documentary evidence of his service. He can prove things relative to his service by his younger brother Alexander Beaty who is about sixty-six years of age and recollects applicant's starting and returning from service. This is all the evidence he is now certain he can get. He is informed that a certain Robert Crockett with whom he served some in
the War is now too infirm of body and mind to be a witness so that he knows of no other certain chance of getting any other evidence except that of the traditionary character.
