That declarant has no positive recollection of the services of her deceased husband David McKinney during the Revolutionary War as spoken of by him in his lifetime, but thinks he served the space of 3 or 4 years viz., The space of one year or less the first tour thence three years or to the end of the said war. She thinks he the said David McKinney served part of said time in South Carolina and that he was wounded in the battle at a place called "the Cowpens" or "Cow-plains".

She thinks the said David McKinney served in said war in the year 1780 and after said anno domini but as to the period cannot positively say even if she ever knew when he entered and when he left said Military Service but declarant's confidence in the truth of her deceased husband's assertions recollected by her warrants her in the full belief that he the aforesaid David McKinney did serve a considerable space of time as a soldier in the war of the Revolution and that he resided in the State of Virginia when he entered and at the time he was discharged from said service & she thinks he resided in Augusta County in said State and that she (claimant) has no documentary evidence in support of her claim that from advanced age and bodily infirmity she is unable to appear before a Court to make this declaration . She further declares that she is still the widow of said David McKinney and that he may have served at one time under Captain McKittrick & does not recollect the names of any of the field officers under whom he served.
