State of Virginia }

County of Washington } SS. BE It Known, that on this day personally appeared before me a Justice of the peace for the County aforesaid Thomas McCauly aged sixty nine years of sound body and mind, a resident of Washington County, and made oath in due form of Law, that he was born and raised in said County of Washington, and that he was well acquainted with Joseph Scott a soldier of the revolution, and that his Father John McCauly told him, that he and Joseph Scott were in the same Company, and under the command of Genl George Washington in the War of the Revolution, and that they both belonged to the Virginia line and he remembers distinctly, that Mr. Joseph Scott stayed all night at his Fathers John McCauly’s and both of them conversed on the subject of the pension due them from the Government of the United States and that each proved the others services in said War, and the reason why Joseph Scott did not apply for his pension was, his circumstances at that day enabled him to live without it, and that Joseph Scott after that never applyed for his pension, he has heard his Father John McCauly say, that he and Joseph Scott enlisted for three years, and were mess mates, and I Certify that the witness Thomas R. McCauly above named is credible, highly respectable, and disininterested and can most surely be relyed on. Given under my hand this 17th day of May 1854 A Treasury Department document states the children of John McCauley were paid his pension from 4 Mar 1840 to the date of his death on 6 Oct 1840.
