    John Miller's company against the Cherokee Indians that he was about on duty
    this tour about two months. That he then resided in South Carolina in the
    present district of York. That he was in several engagements there with the

    recollect in the year 1779 and he was out during this tour two months.

    "That he also served other tours of duty in the Revolutionary War as a Whig
    Soldier of the Militia at various times but for what length of time he cannot
    recollect precisely but he can certainly say that it amounted to one year in
    addition to the forgoing services. That only for a few days was the
    detachments he was in Service was connected with any regular troops and then
    only for a few days while at Bacon Bridge near Dorchester who command the

    services nor has he any documentary evidence of his services nor can he procure
    any that he is aware of... That he can prove his service by Capt. James Martin
    and Robert Hannah.

    "And that he does hereby relinquish every claim to any pension or annuity
    whatever except the present and declare that his name is not on the pension
    roll of the agency of any state."

    After the war William received a patent (or land grant) for 200 acres of land
    "in the district of Ninety-Six and County of Edgefield on a creek called Rocky
    Creek waters of Stephens Creek" from the State of South Carolina on 6 November
    1786. He was living in Abbeville County, South Carolina at this time.

    Jonathan Huskey of the State of South Carolina and the County of Edgewood on 28

    according to his Revolutionary War pension papers. They had eight children as
    shown in the 1800 Federal Census of Edgefield County, South Carolina and the
    1810 Federal Census of York County, South Carolina.
