RALEIGH: DEAR SIR- FEBRUARY 24, 1825, I FIND THE NAME OF DENNIS SCOTT TWICE ON THE ROLLS OF THE CONTINENTAL LINE OF THIS STATE IN THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR. HE APPEARS TO HAVE ENLISTED FIRST UNDER CAPTAIN YARBOROUGH OF THE 10TH REGIMENT, IN THE YEAR 1781 FOR 12 MONTHS AND SERVED UNTIL MAY 1, 1782. IT APPEARS THAT HE THEN ENLISTED UNDER CAPTAIN CARTER AS A PRIVATE IN THE YEAR 1782, FOR 18 MONTHS, NOTHING BEING SAID, RESPECTING HIS DISCHARGE. IN THIS CASE, IT IS SUPPOSED HE SERVED THE TERM FOR WHICH HE ENLISTED. THIS LETTER SERVICE WAS ALSO IN THE 10TH REGIMENT, I AM OF OPINION THE ISAAC SAMPSON MENTIONED IN MY CERTIFICATE IS THE SAME WHO CLAIMS FOR SERVICES PERFORMED UNDER CAPTAIN MICAJAH LEWIS: THAT HE MUST HAVE ENLISTED A SECOND TIME AND HIS FIR FIRST ENLISTMENT NOT MENTIONED ON THE ROLLS, THAT HE NEGLECTED TO STATE HIS SECOND ENLISTMENTS, WHICH WAS UNDER CAPTAIN BREVARD.
