That in Guilford County in the state of North Carolina he volunteered into the service of the United States for the term of 18 months, and was rendezvoused at Guilford Courthouse, on the 10 day of August; And he thinks in Aug 1781, being in August previous to the battle of Eutaco Springs - From Guilford he was immediately marched under Captain Smith Moore, a militia Capt. to Salisbury, where, as a private soldier, he was put into a company of North Carolina State troops (as he now thinks) under Captain _ytle, in which compa- ny one Campbell was Leut. and Hawler was the order- ly sergeant in a regiment under Col. Archibald Ly_ tle, While the troops with which this declarant ser- ved lay at Salisbury he was sent in company with a Sergeant William Hamilton, in pursuit of a deserter whom they followed back to Guilford Court house and on to Deep river but being unable to retake him, after a pursuite of or days they returned to their quarters. Late in October ensuing his enrollment being upwards of two months after his arrival at Salisbury he was marched under the officers last afresaid to Ashley hill where the North Carolina troops joined General Green's Army and was immediately marched thence to James Island near Charleston, South Carolina. He well recollects that on his march to James Island the Army encamped at the Old Eutaw fields, was also at Camden, being after _ates' defeat at the Tatten place and the destruction thereof by fire. The declarant was quartered for a considerable period of time on James Island at which place and in the immediate vicinity of Charleston he continued until after the surrender of Lord Cornwallis at Yorktown, Va. PAGE 2 His service in the neighborhood of Charleston consisted principally in surpressing insurrections among the disaf- fected inhabitants. He was dismissed from the service shortly after Cornwallis surrendered, making a period through which he served of 14 months, being from the tenth of August 1781 until after the aforesaid surrender which his is informed was late in Oct 1782. There are many minor incidents which the declarant might here relate that would doubtless tend in some degree to strengthen his declaration, but wishing to avoid unnecessary _______, he omits to mention them. He was in no battles during his tour of service; And for answer to the seve- ral XXXXXXX interogatories contained in the regulations of the war department for the purpose of carrying into affect the aforesaid Act of Congress, he says, 1st. He was born in Accomack County Virginia in 1761. 2nd. He has no record of his age. 3rd. When called into the service he was living in Guilford County, N. Carolina. For a number of years after the Revolution he resided in the State of Dela- ware, then in Kentucky, afterwards in Ohio, whence in 1818 or 19 he moved to Morgan County, Indiana. He resided in the Counties of Morgan and Fayette until within 12 or 14 months past when he settled in the said County of Madison, his present place of residence. 4th.

I know that John's mother was named Sarah Pavey because she signed consent on his marriage bond. Samuel and Sarah were separated or divorced in Harrison Co., KY in 1802 according to court records. There is a lot of confusion regarding the marriages and children of Samuel Pavey II. There are records that he married a Heathy Kane and other records show that he married a Heathy Denny. It unknown if this the same person or two different people. Some records show that he had as many as 15 children with his different wives. Misc.: A Samuel Pavey (we think II) sold his land in DE to Isaac Pavey in 1787. . . by right of fee simple (inheritied land I found out) for L50. A Samuel Pavey had bought the same land in 1782 for L100 from Thomas Banning. Could it be that Samuel was the first one to migrate (to KY) after his father's death with Isaac Pavey following by 1800? Also, there was really a killer epedemic in and around Dover, DE in 1783. Could Samuel Pavey I died there then?" Misc.: These notes from an e-mail from Marsha McWilliams on 27 Oct 1998 (see file)

Apparently he didn't stay around for a discharge because many years later (1833) his pension application was rejected on grounds that he was a deserter. After the war he resided in Delaware (with family in nearby Maryland), Kentucky, Ohio and finally in Indiana. He was said to have been married twice - first to Sarah (Hurst?); second to Hethy Cain. His wife Sarah left him about 1801 or 1802. Most likely he remarried after he left Kentucky.

He was in no battle during his tour of service…" Senate Chamber, 5th December 1837 Sir, "My old Friend, SAMUEL PAVEY, the person named in the enclosed paper, called on me just before I left home with this paper, and stated to me that his claim for a pension had been rejected by the department upon the ground as he understood, that it appears by the records and rolls in the possession of the department, that a man of his name under the same command deserted. The present applicant assures me (and I have no doubt whatever of the truth of his statement for I have known him long and believe him to be un_____able in character) that there were two of the same name under the command. The other he says he believes was a fifer, and he may have left the army, but this applicant did not without leave, etc." Respectfully, O. H. Smith J. L. Edwards, esq.

I am trying to further document and add to the Family Group Sheet for Samuel Pavey II and am in hopes that there is someone who will be able to help me. According to his Rev. War Pension Application (R8019), Samuel Pavey was born in Accomac Co, VA, July, 1761 (as best he could remember.) He entered into the Rev. War in Aug., 1781, while living in Guilford Co, NC. He stated that after the war, he lived in DE, KY and OH before moving to Indiana (abt 1818.) His request was turned down due to desertion. (I have copy of the original application.) I believe Samuel Pavey was married 3 times and had at least 18 children. 1st wife was probably Nancy SMITH. She was the daughter of Levin SMITH, Jr who died in Caroline Co, MD in 1782, leaving his land, "Levin's Folly" to his wife. Should his wife die or remarry (she remarried), then "Levin's Folly" was to go to his children. Levin Smith had only one daughter, Nancy. (This information is well documented in Levin's will and further court papers.) Sometime between Levin's death and Sept. 3, 1787, Samuel Pavey must have married Nancy... Caroline Co., MD Land Records, 3 September, 1787, Samuel Pavey of Sussex Co, DE sold "Levin's Folly" to Isaac PAVEY. Samuel said the land was his by estate of inheritance in fee simple. (Isaac Pavey was Samuel's brother.) Harrison Co, KY Record Book A, 1794-1806 Vol. XV, No. 802, Friday, 29 January, 1802: "Samuel Pavey says his wife, Sarah Pavey left him and he won't pay her bills." pg. 16: Samuel PAVEY is summoned to court to show cause why Peter, Jesse, Sally and Polly, his children, should not be apprenticed out." Fairfield Co, OH Marriage Records: Samuel Pevey - Hethy DENNY, married Dec. 25, 1804 (I have a copy of the original marriage book page on this marriage. Hethy's last name was Denny and not Cain as previously been reported for years. For those who would like an explanation for the mix-up, please contact me.) 1808 Fairfield Co, OH Tax List, pg. 24: Samuel PAVE. Samuel Pavey died Aug. 20, 1851 in Madison Co, IN and is buried in Crosely Cemetery, Falls Creek twp. along side of Hethy who had died pre-1850. Any new clues, leads or information will certainly be appreciated. Thanks. Marsha McWilliams [s65] Land, 30 Sep 1835, Doc. # 18395 (Reliability: 3).
