                      PENSION RECORD OF CHARLES TULL

                         REVOLUTIONARY WAR SOLDIER

Lenoir County, N.C. Court of Comon Pleas and Quarter Sessions, April Term 
1833.

         On 2nd April 1833, personally appeared before Jonathan Rouse, C. 
Metts and P. Hardee, justices of the Court, Charles Tull, age 80 on next 
December 2nd.

         I volunteered in the militia service of Dobbs County, in North 
Carolina in 1775 in a company under the command of Capt.  Jesse Cobb in the 
regiment under the command of Col.  Richard Caswall, Lieut.  Col.  Wm. 
Bryan and Major Gorham when they went from Kinston, N.C. to New Bern where 
we remained 14 days to drill and returned to Kinston.

         In 1776 we were despatched to South River for the purpose of 
stopping the Tories.  The Tories escaped at South River and we overtook 
them at Moores Creek in New Hanover County, about 16 or 18 miles above 
Wilmington, the militia being commanded by Col Richard Caswell and the 
Tories by Gen.  McDaniel and Capt.  McCloud, the latter being killed during 
the battle. 14 Tories were killed and one of our men, which was thought to 
be an accident.  The second day after the battle, we returned to Kinston 
where we remained until called to Wilmington about the last of February or 
the first of March.  In Wilmington, we were engaged in building 
entrenchments in apprehension of an attack by the British who were said to 
be at Brunswick.  As they did not attack us, we returned to Kinston and 
were discharged after a service of six months.

Sworn to in open court 3 April 1833. /s/ Charles Tull Lewis C. Desmond, 
Clerk. Certificate:  We, John Cox and James Tull, residing in the County of 
Lenoir, North Carolina do hereby certify that we are personally acquainted 
with Charles Tull and believe him to be a soldier of the Revolution etc.,

                               /s/ John Cox
                              /s/ James Tull

         In answering the interrogatories required by the above, I was born 
in the state of Maryland in 1753 and removed to North Carolina at about the 
age of 2. I have a record of my age as kept by my father at home.  I was 
living in Dobbs County when called into service where I have lived ever 
since.  I refer you to John Washinton, W. Lovick, John Gatlen, Fallam 
Caswell, Blount Coleman, N. G. Blount, in fact to any gentlemen in the 
County of Lenoir as to my character and veracity and to John Gatlen, John 
Cox and James Tull as to their belief in the report of my having served in 
the Revolutionary War.
