for
Robert ELDER [b.1760 York Co, PA]
"He served in the Revolutionary War and fought at Kings Mountain. He
wrote a letter which was printed in the book "King's Mountain and
It's Heroes: History of the Battle of King's Mountain October 7th,
1780, and the Events Which Led To It" by Lyman C. Draper.

The letter is has follows:
Robert Elder, April 2, 1823, certifies: That I was a
volunteer of the regiment commanded by Colonel William Campbell, in
the action, fought upon King's Mountain, on the seventh day of
October, in the year 1780, and do hereby declare, that I never saw
Colonel Campbell on the field of battle after the first onset of the
action, until the surrender of the enemy. I also declare, that I
often saw Colonel Isaac Shelby endeavoring to animate our men, and
particularly at the time of the battle when the enemy charged our
lines, and drove us down the mountain, from one hundred and fifty to
two hundred yards, or upwards. I both saw and heard Colonel Shelby
make great exertions to rally our men, which he finally effected, and
turned them back upon the enemy, and drove them in their turn until
they surrendered.
"Robert served in his brother Captain James Elder's company under
Colonel Roebuck. He and his wife applied for a pension 25 March 1833
in Lincoln County, Kentucky. According to his pension record he was
born in York County, Pennsylvania."

States:
"Southern Campaigns American Revolution Pension Statements & Rosters
Pension application of Robert Elder S12865 f19VA Transcribed by Will Graves 11/23/06 rev'd 12/19/14 [Methodology: Spelling, punctuation and/or grammar have been corrected in some instances for ease of reading and to facilitate searches of the database. Where the meaning is not compromised by adhering to the spelling, punctuation or grammar, no change has been made. Corrections or additional notes have been inserted within brackets or footnotes. Blanks appearing in the transcripts reflect blanks in the original. A bracketed question mark indicates that the word or words preceding it represent(s) a guess by me. The word 'illegible' or 'indecipherable' appearing in brackets indicates that at the time I made the transcription, I was unable to decipher the word or phrase in question. Only materials pertinent to the military service of the veteran and to contemporary events have been transcribed. Affidavits that provide additional information on these events are included and genealogical information is abstracted, while standard, 'boilerplate' affidavits and attestations related solely to the application, and later nineteenth and twentieth century research requests for information have been omitted. I use speech recognition software to make all my transcriptions. Such software misinterprets my southern accent with unfortunate regularity and my poor proofreading skills fail to catch all misinterpretations. Also, dates or numbers which the software treats as numerals rather than words are not corrected: for example, the software transcribes "the eighth of June one thousand eighty six" as "the 8th of June 1786." Please call material errors or omissions to my attention.]
State of Kentucky, Lincoln County On this 25th day of March 1833 personally appeared in open Court before the County Court of Lincoln County State of Kentucky now sitting Robert Elder a resident of said County of Lincoln and State of Kentucky aged Seventy Three years who being first duly sworn according to Law, doth on his oath make the following Declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress passed 7th June 1832. That he entered the Service of the United States under the following named officers & served as herein stated. In the month of June 1776 an express was received from the Commander of Fort Donley in the Greenbrier County on the year Frontiers of Virginia requiring the assistance of the Militia of the neighboring Counties; that this Declarant volunteered under Captain William Paxton and was marched to Greenbrier County to relieve Fort Donley which was besieged by the Shawnee Indians; they marched to the Fort which was relieved; the Indians retreating there was no Major or Colonel, they found Col. Lewis in the Fort. There were no regular troops; he served a tour of three months and was verbally discharged by Captain William Paxton.
