(Williams redj. pension claim) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- William Holliday is our ancestor who started the South Carolina branch ofour family. He fought in the Revolution as a young boy, then went to what was thenthe frontier, into Picken's District, South Carolina. He settled nearwhat is now Holliday's Dam between Greenville and Anderson Counties.(Moved about 1800). (According to Fletcher Jerome Holliday, son of AlbertWesley Holliday, William served under Major John Rhine in the Battle ofKettle Creek; he served under General Eliza Clark in the Siege ofAugusta, Georgia. (This information needs to be confirmed.) Affadavits have been prepared testifying to the fact that WilliamHolliday served in the Revolutionary War: "State of South Carolina, Pickens District - March 30, 1852 William Holliday appeared to open court before the Honorable W. D.Steele, to testify that he had served. (He testified at the age of 88 andsaid that he: Volunteered under Captain Walker in Wilkes County, Georgia in the war ofthe revolution when he was but a youth. To continue during the war; Major John Rhine, marched to Augusta and wasthere at Clark's defeat. He marched much through Georgia and SouthCarolina, and was in the battle in Augusta, one at Wrightsborough whichtown was burned by the Whigs on driving out the British. That he continued in actual service under the same officers two years andsix months, and was discharged honorably, but not in writing. He did notknow the necessity of getting and preserving such a thing. And now at hisadvanced age he is unable to recollect, to tell anything like a correctaccount of his services. That he was not aware until lately that he couldhave any chances to procure a pension without psoitive proof by twowitnesses of his services and that by those who served with him. That he hereby relinquishes every claim whatsoever to a pension orannuity except the present, and he declares that his name is not on thepension roll of any state." Another affadavit: State of South Carolina, Greenville District "Personally appeared Mrs. Elizabeth Pike, aged about eighty-seven years,before me, and being duly sworn makes oath that she has known WilliamHolliday, a revolutionary soldier nearly all her life. That her father, Daniel Johnson, lived near Augusta, Georgia, during therevolution and was a soldier, on the side of Americans, during thegreater part of the war. It was about the time that General Clarke (in whose army this informan'tfather then was) marched against the British at Augusta, that informantsbecame acquainted with said William Holliday came with her father to herfather's house and had a wound in one of his thighs, which he said wasreceived at the siege of Augusta, and which this informant was alsoinformed that the said Holliday was appointed a Lieutenant for his goodconduct at the siege of Augusta. Holliday remained at her father's houseuntil his wound was quite healed, when he returned to his duty. He waswith her father, the said Daniel Johnson, in service,under GeneralClarke, against the Indians in georgia and East Tennessee, as she wasinformed and believes, until peace was declared. The said William Holliday afterwards removed to and settled in GreenvilleDistrict aforesaid (where this defendant had also settled) and married awoman by the name of Cooly. That the said Holliday still resides inGreenville District and he is the identical person whom she knew as asoldier in the war of the Revolution." Sworn to and subscribed before me this 18th day of July, A.D. 1856, W. H.Campbell, H.F. Signed (with a mark) Elizabeth Pike). The above documents, along with additional documents relating to hispension, are detailed in the " Revolutionary War Pension Application Documents for William Holliday"in the National Archives and also available on the FamilyTreeMaker Usersite "Our Cothran-Holliday Relatives" by Frank Herin. Family history interview: "Fletcher Jerome Holliday told me (EleanorWhitehead) that William went with George Rogers Clark to Vincennes. Atthe opening of the Revolution, frontiersmen, beginning to push across themountains, found themselves exposed to constant Indian attacks. Behindthe Indian hostility was seen the influence of England, and in 1778George Rogers Clark, with a commission from Patrick Henry, Governor ofVirginia, set out with a small force of militia to break the power ofEngland in the Northwest. Descending the Ohio, he captured the old Frenchforts, now held by the British, at Kaskaskia and Cahokia on theMississippi and Vincennes on the Wabash." -- Sue Johnson
