Pension records Nov 15, 1819 for John Forbes.
---(begin transcription)---
Upon examining the wounds of Mr. John Forbis Senior, I believe
them to render him partially incapable of making a compentant
support for himself and family who are dependant upon his
exertions, his extream age taken into consideration with
the balance of his wounds renders him more incapable of that
to make a substance.
Nov 15 1819 Ed Jennings
Surgt. of 12 Regiment
of Militia
South Carolina
York District
Personally came Joseph Forbis before me who being duly sworn
made oath in due form of how that he is a brother of John
Forbis and that said John Forbis was a military soldier
under Colonal Neal in the Revolutionary War that he was
Literally cut to pieces and wounded in such a manner that
he was entirely unable to make a support for himself and
family and that by his wounds now in his old age renders
him incapable of making a sufficient support for his family
who dependance is on him. Also came Captain Joseph McCorkle
and Mary Smith who on oath saith that they were personally
acquainted with John Forbis in the Revolutionary War and
that the above afidavit is true as they were frequently
with the said John Forbis. Sworn to and subscribed before
me this 16th day of November 1819.
