Austin Yancey. Served as a private in the SC troops from Greenville County, and he served 4 month's in 1776 from Rutherford Co., NC, in Col. William Graham's Regt. In 1781 from Ninety-sixth Dist., SC in Capt. Holloway's Company, Col. Hinders Regt, commanded by General Greene. Austin Yancey applied for a pension from Franklin County, Illinois, on Oct 3, 1833 at the age of 81 years, 1 month, 10 days. "Arthur Yancey" came to Fulton County, IL, and was a residence of Lewistown when he applied for a pension under the act of June 7, 1832, R-11921, but had served less than six month's and it was refused. (Apr 5, 1836) He was born Aug 29, 1752 and died after April 5, 1836 in Fulton Co., IL. His wife was Sarah Garrison. I came across Austin Yancey a long time ago while I was looking for my own Yancey connection, Lewis Davis Yancey. The Yancey family had many of their men serve as Soldiers and Officers in the Rev. War. Austin still has descendants in the Williamson Co., IL, area. Ref: 1, 5, 6 (mistakenly called Arthur Yancy), 7,
