Notes: “Where does this Samuel Stalnaker fit into the scheme of things. Ca. 18 Nov 1828, he filed cl aim with the state of South Carolina for a Revolutionary War Pension. He was in Abbeville Di strict and said he
was 82 years old, so he would have been born in 1746. He was granted a pension of $60 per yea r and received same for at least the years 1829 through 1834. This Samuel claimed he was atta ched to a company of militia commanded by a Captain Briant, who was later replaced by a Capta in Cane (?). Said he served at the sieges of Ninety Six and Augusta. He also said he performe d several tours of duty under a Lt. Howard and General Pickens. Finally, he said he went o n several expeditions against the Cherokee Indians with Majors Bowie and Tutt under General P ickens.
The same case file shows that on about 29 Sept 1837, Elizabeth Stalnaker, widow of this Samue l Stalnaker, petitioned to be put on the pension rolls, as Samuel had died 7 Mar 1837 (he wou ld have been about 91 years old). Elizabeth claimed to be "upwards of seventy years" old an d in a destitute situation. Her claim was denied.
