_MIL S155Text: From his pension file, we learn that Matthew was living in Chester County, South Carolina when he volunteered in the spring of 1780. He served under the Command of Lieutenant Houston and Colonel Sumter. His service began at Indian Lands near the Catawba River, A small company of volunteers marched from Indian Lands to a place called Hanging Rock near the Catawba River, where early in the morning they attacked and defeated a company of Tories who were commanded by Colonel Bryan. The British soldiers were encamped about half a mile away and they made an attack on the volunteers who held their ground until evening. Then the volunteers left and marched to Bigger's Ferry on the Catawba River. At this place, the volunteers were attacked by the British forces and Matthew was severely wounded in the head and taken prisoner by the British troops. He and the other prisoners were taken to Charlotte in North Carolina, and confined in jail. Then they were sent to Camden in South Carolina and there confined in a prison for about 10 weeks. Then he was sent to Charleston to be put aboard a prison ship. On the way, about 16 miles from Camden, he and the other prisoners overpowered the guard and made their escape. About 2 weeks after his escape he again entered the service as a volunteer under Colonel Sumter. This time, the volunteers took a British Garrison about 3 miles south of the Congaree River at Thompson?s Plantation (Calhoun County). Matthew continued in the service for some time with Colonel Sumter in the south part of South Carolina. He was again taken prisoner by the British and was sent to Camden and confined as a prisoner until he obtained a parole from the British and returned to Chester. A short time after he returned home, peace was declared between the United States & the British government. After the peace was declared, he received, from the United States, about $60 for his services of about 10 months time. Mathew McClurken Pension File. S32403

There is no Royal - called Bounty - grant for Matthew McClurkin, though the grant books in the office of the Secretary of State in Columbia, South Carolina, may have one recorded. Owing to the rush of business in the past years, it is difficult to find room to look at the large volumes containing the early grants and the office force does not have time to be bothered with ancients interested in things, past, these one hundred and fifty years. Their courtesy is perfect at all times, but it is wiser to wait a more convenient season.
In Deed Book F, p. 38, 1797, Chester Court House, is recorded a deed of Matthew McClurkin for sixty pounds Sterling paid Mary Doneley Extx. of Hugh Doneley dec'd, of South Carolina, Chester County a plantation containing one hundred acres of land.
