From The Tennessee State Archives, Microfilm # ____, The Western Chronicle, Columbia, TN March 28, 1812
Saturday, March 28, 1812 [just before the War of 1812 broke out] Bird S. Hurt,
Will find, storage and sell whiskey or other liquors, flour and sugar by the
barrel, bar iron, ca??tings, nails, etc on a commission of ten percent. And, as
I have an excellent cellar, and other conveniences for the reception of such
articles, I flatter myself that I shall give general satisfaction to those who
may entrust me with the same. Columbia, February 14th, 1812. [Bird S. Hurt was
the officer under whom Hiram Anthony served in the War of 1812. This was an
advertisement placed by him.]
From the Western Chronicle, Saturday, March 28, 1812: FALSE ALARM!
While the peace and tranquility again surrounds us, and the apprehension of the
savage tomahawk and scalping knife no longer troubles our peaceful bosoms, for
the satisfaction of our distant friends, we recite the particulars which led to
the almost universal alarm that prevailed a few days since.
On Tuesday night last, a man arrived at his place to procure
ammunition, and reported that 2,000 Indians had embodied, marched into Giles
County, killed 25 families on Bradshaws Creek, and were pursuing in, directly
towards Columbia, where it was expected they would reach that night. That the
Colonel commandant in Giles County dispatched an express to Colonel Pillow
giving this information, and that the different captains on Fountain Creek, and
in that direction were collecting their men in order to resist if possible,
these hostile depradations.
This report was considered as the effusion of a frightened
imagination, and little or no credit was attached to it, but in a few moments
another messenger arrived, and affirmed the same in substance, with the
addition that the Indians were seen crossing a creek 18 miles from Columbia
that morning.
It was now thought advisable to ascertain the truth, if possible, and
for this purpose messengers were dispatched to Colonel Pillows to know if he
had received any such information as was reported. In the meantime, men were
hurrying in from all quarters, purchasing ammunition and telling horrible
tales. The citizens became alarmed and prepared to make as good a defense as
possible in case of an attack.
General Roberts hearing the report came into town; not believing that
he had as yet sufficient reason to order out the militia, he determined to
trace the report and ascertain the reality. He done so, as far as possible; His
presence and assurance that the thing was so improbable, relieved the minds of
the people, and after placing out sentinels, retired at about 1 oclock.
Such a quick circulation had rumor obtained, that before 10 oclock on
Wednesday, 200 men were in town, armed and equipped for a campaign; and we are
informed that the different companies throughout this and Williamson Counties
were formed, and most of these on their march.
Captains Polk, Campbell and Wells marched their companies into town;
armed men were flocking in from every direction. General Roberts had not
received any information which authorized him to proceed, and resolved not to
do so until he had grounds sufficient to justify him with his country.
Information now reached us that Captain Benjamin Reynolds, as soon as
he heard the report, had raised his company and marched to the place where it
was said the Indians were committing the depradations, and had ascertained that
the report was false.
Several gentlemen soon arrived and assured us that nothing was to be
apprehended. That what gave rise to the alarm was this: Fifteen Indians had
went to Huntsville and purchased ammunition and arms. Some families who saw
them returning to their nation, apprehended danger, and communicated their
fears to some young men, who that night, in order to have some fun, collected
others and fired on the houses of some of those who had expressed their
apprehensions. The people fled; reported that 1500 Indians had fired on them
and burnt their houses; men, women and children flew in every direction. The
alarm became universal, and when it reached us, it was in such a shape as to
excite considerable apprehensions of its truth.
We learn that Madison, Giles, Lincoln, and Bedford Counties were
entirely in arms. The report reached Nashville about 10 oclock on Wednesday,
and we are informed from good authority that about 5,000 men were in that
place, armed and ready to march that evening. From every information, we are
led to believe that this rumor put at least 10,000 men in arms in this and the
neighboring counties, in a short space of time.
From this it will appear that we have little to apprehend either from
the savages, the British, or any other nation on earth. When it is thought
necessary, the people WILL fight. We have to regret the want in some degree, of
arms of the proper description. Our frontier situation requires it, and we hope
the government will furnish us with muskets and bayonets. If every militia man
had arms of this description, from the example we have seen, we are led to
believe that if every tribe west of us were to combine, we would not need the
assistance of a sister state to extirpate them.
From the display of spirit we have witnessed, we confidently believe
that every man whose situation will permit him, will tender his services to
government and have the honor of assisting in planting the American Eagle
throughout the continent, and teaching the world that WE ARE FREEMEN.

Pension Application Of PHILIP ANTHONY, Natl Archives Microseries M804, Roll 68, Application #S21046
In order to obtain the benefits of the Act of Congress passed 7 June 1832
State of Tennessee
Henderson County
On this thirteenth day of February 1835 personally appeared in open
Court before Adam M. Brown, Daniel Ragsdal? and David Wilson, Esquires and
Justices;
And holding the Court of Pleas and Quarters? Deposes in said county, PHILIP
ANTHONY a resident of said county aged eighty years, who being duly sworn
according to law doth on his oath make the following declaration in order to
obtain the benefits of the Act of Congress passed 7 of June 1832: That in April
1775, he volunteered under Captain Rudolph Conrad, Lieutenant John Sidman
[however, the spelling found in John Wilfongs pension statement, NC State
Records is Sigmon] and Colonel Christopher Bateman [Actual spelling is
Beekman], Rowan County North Carolina, to quell an insurrection of the Scotch
inhabitants and marched to Cross Creek near Fayetteville [on the Cape Fear
River, N.C.] where he was discharged after a service of five weeks, the Scotch
Tories having been dispersed by Governor [of North Carolina] Caswell.
In the summer of 1776 he was drafted for three months under Captain James
Roddy and Colonel Charles McDowell and joined the regiment at the Quaker
Meadows [on the South Fork of the Catawba River] to the residence of Col.
McDowell and marched in a direction towards Princes Fort in South Carolina in
the neighborhood of which there was a body of Tories under Scovell and [Col.
Samuel] Brown who were in the habit of committing depradations on the property
of the inhabitants then called Whigs (but a different kind of citizens from the
Whigs of the present day) but before we reached there the Tories had been
dispersed by a party of South Carolinians. The balance of this term of service
he was employed in protecting the inhabitants from the depredations of the
Tories and discharged after the expiration of three months.
In the summer of 1777 he was again drafted under Captain John Russel
for three months service and stationed at Catheys Fort on the Catawba Frontier
in what is called Burk County, South Carolina. The object of this service was
to act as spies against the Cherokee Indians and to protect the frontier
settlement. He had no engagement with the Indians and was discharged at the
expiration of his term of three months service.
In the following spring of 1780 he was again drafted for three months
under Captain William Johnson [Emmett R. White called him Whitson, in his
Revolutionary Soldiers of Western North Carolina: Burke County, Volume I, but
to this researcher the handwriting suggests Johnson.] and Lieutenant Oliver
Spradly to serve as an Indian spy and for the protection of the frontier and
employed in erecting a fort [which became called Wofford Fort] on the North
Fork of the Catawba River at a place called the Turkey Cove in what is now Burk
County but Rowan in the time of the Revolution. He had no engagement with the
Indians and was discharged after the expiration of three months.
In July 1780 or early in August he was again drafted for three months under
Captain Thomas Kenady [Kennedy], Maj. Joseph White and Colonel Charles
McDowell. The troops assembled at Quaker Meadows and marched to Pacolet River
and camped at Hamptons Plantations where a company of British dragoons and
Tories attacked us in the night and killed three of our men and wounded
thirteen. In the morning we pursued them some distance and took some of the
Tories prisoners. After this we retreated towards the mountains and after being
accompanied by Colonels Campbell, Shelby and Sevier, and at Kings Mountain
overtook the British Colonel Ferguson and had a severe battle in which Ferguson
was killed and we took as prisoners nearly all his men that were not killed.
After this battle in the month of October he was discharged, his term of
service having expired.
In the spring of 1781 he was again drafted under Captain Daniel Smith and
Lieutenant Jesse Brown and served again as an Indian spy and stationed at
Davidsons Fort on the Catawba River. He ranged and scouted the county around
but the Indians did not make their appearance and he was discharged after the
expiration of three months, and Lord Cornwallis having surrendered that fall he
was never called on to perform any further military duty. He states that the
whole of his service during the war amounted to sixteen months and one week.
Being an unlettered man and the transaction having transpired so many
years past, and being attacked with a paralitic stroke and a waning memory he
may have made some mistakes as to dates but feels confident he performed the
several tours of duty before mentioned. He has no documentary evidence and
knows of no person living by whom he can prove the performance of his
services .etc.
Interrogations
Interrogatory 1-Where and in what year were you born?
Answer- In Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania, January 1754, the day of the
month not recollected.
Interrogatory 2- Have you any record of your age, and if so, where is it?
Answer- My age was recorded in a book kept by my uncle on the fathers side,
who died many years ago in North Carolina, and I am unable to say what has
become of said book.
Interrogatory 3-Where were you living when called into service; Where have you
lived since the Revolutionary War and where do you now live?
Answer-When called into service I lived in what was then called Rowan County,
North Carolina, but by a division of the County, now called Burk, and lived
there seventeen or eighteen years after the close of the Revolution, and moved
to Greenville District, South Carolina, then to Logan County, Kentucky, thence
to Maury County, Tennessee, and thence to Henderson County, where I have lived
for the last seven years.
Interrogatory 4- how were you called into service? Were you drafted, did you
volunteer or were you a substitute and if a substitute, for whom?
Answer- I volunteered for the first tour of service and drafted for the others
as stated in my declaration.
Interrogatory 5-State the names of some of the Regulars who were with the
troops whom you served, such Continental and militia regiments as you may
recollect, and the general circumstances of your service?
Answer- I was not engaged with any Continental troops or regiments and have no
recollection of serving a Continental officer while in service to my knowledge,
except Genl Morgan after the Battle of Cowpens and on his way to Virginia with
the British prisoners taken at the Cowpens. At the request of Genl Morgan I
carried an express from him to Genl Pickens. For the balance of the
interrogatory, I refer to my declaration as containing as correct a narrative
as I can give. I should have stated that Genl Rutherford was the commander-in-
chief of the militia of the county where I lived and was called into service
and was frequently with us.
Interrogatory 6th- Did you ever receive a discharge from the service and if so
by whom was it signed and what has become of it?
Answer- At the end of the several tours of service I have detailed, I received
a written discharge from my Captain, which stated the time I had served under
him, and as well as I recollect the compensations I was entitled to, but I
never received one cent for my services. These discharges have long since been
lost or destroyed, not supposing them of any value, I took no particular care
of them.
Interrogatory 7th- State the names of persons to whom you are known in your
present neighborhood and who can testify as to your character for veracity and
their belief of your services as a Revolutionary soldier.
Answer- I refer to James R. White and William Bartons, esquires, who are well
acquainted with me.

February 14th,
1835
Dear Sir,
At the request of PHILIP ANTHONY who is an applicant for a pension
under the Act of 1832, I enclose you his declaration and documents for that
purpose. He says you are well-acquainted with him, and feels assured you will
attend to this matter for him. He was formerly a constituent of yours.
I am well satisfied this old man is a very honest, conscientious man,
his memory is very fail [frail] and his constitution quite infirm and should he
be delayed much longer in getting a pension I fear it will be of no use to him-
He employed some person here to ____ his declaration 2 years ago. He was told
it was sent in, and that is the last he heard of it until lately, when Mr. ?
Warmly? wrote in to the War Department and received for answer that the claim
had been sent back for some defect, and to have it supplied and it has never
come to hand. You will be particular in instructing the Commissioner of
Pensions to advise me at Jackson, of the fate of the application and I will
advise the old man. A letter to him at this place or Jackson would remain
forever at the post office without his being any the wiser.
Your friend
H.H. Talbot
Jackson, Tennessee
September 5th, 1837
I.L. Edwards, Esqr,
Dear sir, enclosed I send you the affidavit of identity of PHILIP ANTHONY, a
pensioner of the United States: his power of attorney to me to receive his
pension or that part due from the 4th March 1835 to 4th September 1837- at the
Pension Agency established in Jackson, Ten, and with all the necessary
certifications the pension agent here has instructed me.
I therefore request that you will direct Mr. John W. Campbell, the
Pension agent here to pay over to me the amount due Mr. ANTHONY from 4th March
1835 up to 4th of this month. Please also to drop me a few lines at the same
time you write to Mr. Campbell,
Yours very respectfully,
Samuel McClanahan
A page attached to the pension application, dated February 9, 1916, and
addressed to Mr. B. C. Dancer, describing PHILIP ANTHONYs Revolution service,
on a line labeled Remarks: gives his date of death as Nov. 4, 1838, and
says: He left a widow, but her name is not stated, and there is no other data
on the family.
A separate sheet, attached, indicates that the widow applied for his
remaining benefit of forty dollars in 1838, under an act of 1838, paid from
Sept. 4th 1837, to 4th November, 1838, the date of his death, on the roll of
the Jackson, TN Agency at the time of his death. Jackson was in Henderson
County.
In 1835, his pension agent was J.H. Talbot, in Lexington, West Tennessee rolls.
On another page, the outside cover is signed by J. H. Talbot, of Lexington, TN
to Hon. J. K. Polk of Columbia, TN.
