State of Tennessee
McMinn County
This Day Came Samuel Blair
Before me Abraham Skovell One of the
Acting Justices' of the Peace for said county and provide
Oath that from the great Lapse of time since his service
In the Revolutionary War and the Number of the
Actions in that war and having been called from him
To testify renders it impossible to prove his service
Rendered by him in said war and his having also served
From the state of Virginia to the state of North Ca
And from thence to the state of Tennessee and those
Associates of his in the war having also removed
To the different western and southern states, and
Whether any of them are now living he cannot
Recollect by whom he can prove his services
And thru the services as by him set forth in his
Declaration were performed by him for which he
Claims a pension and thinks himself justly
And honestly entitled to it.
