On this 1st day of October 1832, personally appeared in open court, being court of record, before Joseph B- ?-, Robert Trimble and Levi -?-, Justices, composing the court of and for the County of Montgomery and State aforesaid, aged 78 years the 1st of January last, do on his oath make the following declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the Act of Congress passed June 7, 1832.

Babb, in the early part of the year 1778, and marched immediately to Ft. Pitt (Aias Pittsburgh) on the Ohio River. Captain Hook had command of another company destie4d for the same point. Our companies consisted of 30 men each - amounting in all to 60 men. We arrived at Ft. Sill and found it commanded by General Nevel. We were stationed at that point about three months under the command of Cpt.s Babb and Hook. I was detatched with a company to go down the Ohio River to meet Captain Lynn, who was then ascending the rive with ammunition; we met him at Louisville and assisted him with his boat up to Ft. Pitt; on our passage up, however, we had a pretty sharp battle at Wheeling with a company of Indians. In about one month after my return was discharged, and I returned to Frederick Co. VA.
In the last of the Spring following (1779) about June of that year, I was again ordered into service and forthwith marched under the command of General Morgan to a place called, I think, teh Haw Field near Maryland and Virginia line; had no actual engagement with teh enemy, but continued in that service about 40 days, and was discharged, and returned home to said Frederick Co., VA.
In the Summer of that year I was again ordered out and marched immediately towards the South, under the command of General Smith, against eh British, who were committing depredations in their quarter, near the Lead Mines. In this campaign I was in teh service about 4 months and was again discharged.
In the latter part of the Spring or first of the Summer in the year 1780, I was again called on to go to South Carolina to reinforce General Gates. We marched immediately on from Frederick Co., Virginia, to South Carolina under the command of General Lewis, but afterwards placed under General Morgan, and arrived at Camden, SC, in theThere were no children by William's second marriage to Sarah Brawner.
Like so many on the frontier, the Tipton family buried on their own farm. This plot was near the home site on which certain old buildings still stand. This hillside site had long been fenced and was readily identified by the large cedar treees. Lately, the fencing has been removed and the surrounding stone wall has fallen into disrepair. Cattle have sought out the shade of the trees and in their grazing have knowcked down all but three stones. Still, the stones are there and are readable. A picture of Ellen Mae Rose (nee Tipton) holding erect the stone of her thrid great grandfather, William Tipton, Sr., is reproduced in this volume. A poor picture of William Tipton's home place is also reprinted in this volume.

That he enter the service of the United States under the following named officers and served as herein stated, to wit: That he volunteered in the County, of Frederick and State of Virginia as a Minute Man, to be ready at any time, at any call and for any period, and that engagement he entered the service of the United States under the command of Captain Babb, in the early part of 1778, and marched immediately to Fort Pitt (Pittsburg) on the Ohio River. Captain Hook had the command of another company destined for the same point. Our companies consisted of 30 men each, amounting in all 60 men. We arrived at Fort Sill and found it commanded by General Nevel____.We were stationed at that point for about three months under the command Captain Babb and Captain Lynn, Who was then assending the river with amunition; We met him at Lousiville and assisted him with his boat up to fort Pitt. On our way, however, we had a pretty sharp battle at Wheeling with a company of Indians. In about one month after my return to Fort Pitt, from down the river, our company was discharged, and I returned home to Fredrick County, Virginia. In the last of the spring following (1779) about June of that year, I was again ordered into service and forthwith marched under the command of General Morgan to a place called, I think the___ Fields, (Haw Fields), near Maryland and Virginia line, had on actual engagement with the enemy, but continued in that service for about 40 days, and was discharged and returned to home said Frederick County.
In the summer year I was again ordered out and marched immediately towards the South, Under the command of General Smith, againts the British, was were commiting depredations in that quarter, near the lead mines. In this campaign I was in the service about four months and was again discharged.
In the latter part of the springor the first of the summer in the year 1780, Iwas again called on to go to South Carolina to reinforce General Gates. We marched immediately on from Frederick County, to South Carolina under the command of General Lewis, but afterwards placed under the command of general Morgan, and arrived at Camden, South Carolina in August of that year, a few days after the Battle of Camden between General Gates and Lord Cornwallis; Continued some time in the sothern country and I remained in the service during that campaign between five and six months, and was discharged in Frederick after marching back to that county.
In the year of August 1781, I was called out to go against the British in the neighorhood of Yorktown, Virginia,___ and at that time entered the service under the command of Captain John Gallaway, marched down the country through Botetcourt County, Virginia, then across the country to the James River- - -crossed the river below Richmond and continued our march Williamsburg---- the main army and encamped within about 12 miles of York, where we remained several weeks. During this time General Washington ordered that 15 men should be taken to reconnoiter the British line. I volunteered as one, we went in the neighborhood where British lay, and where we took two of their number prisoner, who had gone out to visit some ladies in a cabin in a field, having confined our prisoners and taken possession of their horses, we proceded but a few miles before we were overtaken, in a lane by the Britist light-hores men; and our whole number was cut to pieces, except for myself and one other, who made our escape to the woods and retreated into a thicket; after remaining there for some time, we came into the road, but soon discovered in sight, there lighhorsemen in persuit, at their aproach we presented our guns, and they dashed into the thicket; we thought it prudent not to fire unless we had a certain short-least, we might be caught with an empty gun, and they were afraid to charge, and in this condition, sometimes in them road and sometimes in the bush, we kept them at bay for about three miles, when they retreated and we came into camp. After the surrender of York, I saw two of the same fellows and recognized them, and told their officers the whole story of the matter.
In a few days I think after my return, we marched down to York and besieged the town, and continued it until the surrender of Lord Cornwalls, which I believe was on the 19th day of October, 1781, in the meantime however, I had placed under the command of General Long, the whole commanded by General Washington. A short time after the Surrender of Cornwalls, I was discharged, and I think perhaps , I received aWritten discharge, but I am not certain, if I did it is lost, and I have no recollection bt whom signed. I continued in service in this campain a little upward of three months.
