DAVID BENTON, Private, North Carolina Continental Line, $96.00 Annual Allowance, $153.33 Amount Received, April 16, 1819 Pension Started, Age 77, in Warren Co, TN in 1832. Dropped May 1, 1820; applied 29 Jul 1818 Warren Co, TN, aged 61 [b ca 1757], served in Col. POLK'S Regt. in NC Line. (RW Pension File S39195)

Note: A David BENTON was listed as a Private in Nelson's Co, 15 June 1776 with 3year's service, discharged 15 June 1779. (Roster of North Carolina Soldiers) A David BENTON appeared on 1812 Warren Co, TN 1812 Tax List, but no BENTON found on 1830 Warren Co, Tennessee census (1820 not checked).

Note: The revolutionary veteran of Warren Co., TN, is the David Benton who served under Capt. John Nelson per his pension application. The David Benton in 1812, however, is probably his son, David Benton, Jr., who served in such latter war from Warren Co. with his Melton brothers-in-law. David Benton Jr. was squatting on Cherokee lands in Jackson Co., AL, by November, 1819 (and perhaps as early as 1817). In 1810, a David Benton and Mourning Benton join the Salem Baptist Church in Smith (DeKalb) Co. Since Cooper Melton, David Jr.'s brother-in-law, also joined this congregation in 1812, it is difficult to say whether this is an indication that David Sr. was in neighboring DeKalb Co. in 1812. The 1835 pension rolls reflect several individuals "dropped" on May 1, 1820, and from the math, David Sr. in addition to his initial draw, was only paid one further semi-annual draw in March, 1820. I believe the indications are that he died in March/April, 1820. Certainly, he is not on the 1820 census.

David Benton citizen of the County of Warren [marked out: County] in the State of Tennessee came before me and bound(?) to be placed on the pension list of the United States on account of his services as a soldier in the revolutionary war and after being duly sworn deposeth and saith that he enlisted into the service of the United States as a soldier on the 15th day of June 1776 under the command of Captain John Nelson in the 4th North Carolina continental Regt. Commanded by Colo. Thomas Polk. Gen. Culloom(?) commanded the Brigade who was succeeded by Genl. Nash, that he enlisted for [marked out: three years] two years and one half and served faithfully three years wanting five days and was discharged the 10th of June 1779 at west point on the North River being then in Capt. John (?)'s Company in the first North Carolina Regt. Commanded by Colo. Thomas Clark. That he has long since lost or (?) his discharge, that afterwards he served two tours in the Militia service. That he is in his sixty-first year and very infirm, that he is in very reduced circumstances, and needs the aid of the government. That he never had a pension from the United States or any State. David his "D" mark Benton.

Sworn & Subscribed before me this 29th day July 1818. John McNairy, District Judge.

Joel Gunter, a citizen of Warran County aforesaid came before me and made oath that he is acquainted with the said applicant David Benton and was with him in the service of the United States in the revolutionary war in the same company &Regt. after he was transferred from the 4th to the 1st Regiment that he served more than nine months and is in very reduced circumstances and needs aid from Government.
