Notes:  Among the Wythe County Petitions filed at the Virginia State Library is one from Michael Kinser, who was called on to perform the duties of a soldier for eighteen months. While in service in the company of Captain Bently and in the regiment of Colonel Harris at the second battle of Camden he states that "he was cut to pieces and taken prisoner by the enemy." While he was a prisoner he "was plundered by the British soldiers of his money and a Tobacco note which had been given to him on the part of the Government of Virginia in consideration of his services." He had lost the evidence of the debt due but was requesting the Virginia Assembly to reimburse him. He went on to state that although he was receiving a pension of $40 annually it was "very inadequate compensation for 5 sword cuts on his head, the disability of his left arm and one of the fingers of his left hand and the entire loss of three of the fingers on his right hand." He adds that he was the father of nine children. His claim was rejected but a note on the reverse of the petition states "enquire about land bounty." Perhaps they thought he could be reimbursed in this way instead. (From Kegley and Kegley)
