Those who ordered the military marker for Aaron Bogg's service in the Revolutionary War got it wrong. It's unclear where they got this information, but Aaron personally petitioned the SC legislature for a pension and described who he served under and the battles in which he fought. Aaron was living on Fishing Creek in New Aquisition, Camden District SC (present-day York Co) during the Revolutionary War. In his petition, he stated that he served as a volunteer lieutenant in Capt. Wallis's company of calvary in Col. Neel's regiment during a tour against the Cherokee Indians on Keowee and Eastatoe where they burned their towns and drove the Indians off, then afterwards at the Snow Campaign at Rabon Creek where they "routed" notorious Tory "Bloody" Bill Cunningham. He then served under General Sumter in Captain Hannah's company and was in several skirmishes at the Congaree Fort, Wright's Bluff, at the mouth of Fishing Creek. At Wright's Bluff, he lost his horse, saddle, accoutrements and clothes. He said he was in the service upwards of 4 years, the last 3 months using his wagon team in service to the Army. He also provided supplies for the militia, and per the pension record of Robert Neely, Aaron also served as an orderly sergeant for Capt. William Hannah, Col. Bratton.
Aaron settled in Pendleton District, SC following the war, in an area that became Pickens District when it was split. This is where he died. He is buried at Pickens Chapel Cemetery, which is across the county line in present-day Anderson County.
