Rank of Major in the Rev War. Wayne County Kentucky The amended Declaration of Major George Bruton, in order to obtain his Pension from the War department of the United States under the act of Congress of June 7th 1832 passed for the Benefit of Revolutionary Soldiers. I the said George Bruton in amending my Declaration for a Pension, agreeably to my original Declaration, in the fall or winter of the year 1780 volunteered under Captain George Roebuck in a Regiment commanded by Colonel Benjamin Roebuck, we first met at the farm of Captain George Roebuck’s we started & marched in the frontiers not far from Spartanburg South Carolina, we continued ranging & guarding the frontiers, from the time we first marched, for the term of six months daily, against the Indians, British & Tories. We then returned home with our officers. They not thinking it was necessary to give us discharges, being minute man during the war. In but a very few days after our return home, the British & Tories pressing hard in Georgia, the precise time not recollected when I marched & volunteered with others to go to the American Army in Georgia and not far from or in about 30 miles of Augusta in Georgia I with others joined the company commanded by Bias Boykin and shortly afterwards we marched to the siege of Augusta. The British, Indians and Tories then in possession, we fought under General Clark, almost a continued skirmishing & fighting for four weeks & at that time we entrenched up near the walls. And the British, Indians & Tories commanded by Colonel Brown surrendered and were guarded by us for some time & the Prisoners were sent to Savannah as I was informed. I was then discharged by my Captain Byas Boykin at Augusta having served in this tour seven months and had I think a written discharge from Captain Boykin. But have lost it. The town of Ninety Six in South Carolina being besieged at this time by the Americans Another company was formed under Captain John Autery at Augusta & I immediately volunteered and marched under him in a direction for Ninety Six. But before we got there the British received large reinforcements from Charleston and the Americans had to retreat & we marched to the frontiers in the upper part of Georgia, ranging after the Tories & Indians. Having served four weeks in this Tour under Captain Autery no great danger's pressing in this corps we were discharged by our Captain having actually served four weeks. I then marched or went back to South Carolina, and joined my former Captain George Roebuck & I think in the fall of the year 1781. The Cherokee Indians, breaking out & killing many, stealing & destroying property on the frontiers, I again volunteered and marched under Colonel Henry Wood with about 200 under him with our horses & provisions. He the said Wood commanding as Colonel & Captain and we marched to the Cherokee towns on the Saluda Mountains & Edistoe River & had several engagements with the Indians took about 60 Prisoners & they were kept the most of them till the close of the war. Having successfully performed our service and tour in this expedition, I returned to my former company commanded by Captain George Roebuck having actually served in this expedition or tour one month. Then until the termination of the war I served under Captain Roebuck as a Ranger & keeping Blockhouses on the Frontiers of South Carolina. The Tories and Indians often making depredations upon the Frontier settlements. Having actually served under Captain George Roebuck ten months hard service as a Ranger and took many Tory Prisoners. The war closed & I with our company was discharged by our Captain George Roebuck but not in writing. Having actually served two years and four weeks during the war, for which I respectfully claim a compensation. And is in my first Declaration, we were called minute men, because always ready & willing to go where our country needed our services. Test: S/ R. Gantt S/ George Bruton [November 30th, 1833] [Veteran was pensioned at the rate of $50 per annum commencing March 4, 1831, for 15 months service from 1780 as a private in the South Carolina militia.] RBM- The last known payment I've found is for March 1834, although a 1835 roll of KY Pensioners shows a George Bruton. So the death date is the earliest possible death I have found for him. A later one is possible, except I'm not sure why he did not continue to receive a pension payment after that.
