Notes:

In 1854, Eli (Elias Harrison, 1768-Apr 1869) applied for father's pension from his service in Rev. War.

"James and Winny lived on the Roanoke River before and after the Rev. War. My parents were married in Amelia county, VA expects it has been at least 96 years ago, which would have been abt. 1758.

My father moved to Halifax county, NC before I was born (abt 1769) and settled on the river.

His father's Rev. War service was with the "NC Troops (militia, I think) for 9 months. He always told me he served three tours of three months each. I remember father's return "soon after the taking of Cornwallis" [1781?] but I don't know if he was at that siege. I don't remember all of the Captains my father was under, except one, a Captain Harrison, who was "no kin to him that he knew of". All of his tours were under General Greene. The battles I remember my father saying he was in was the Battle of Eutaw Springs and the capture of the noted Tory Captain (Rugedey?)."

Eli stated the date of death for his mother Winny was 25 October 1847, but he also states he doesn't remember for sure. When he made this application, he was 85+ years of age, but he has no proof of when he was born or when his parents married.
