Revolutionary War Pension Application
MAIB, John, Sr. W4726 BLWt. 59092-160-55
Declaration of John Maib, Sr. 9 Sept. 1833 Stokes Co., NC

John Maib, Sr., aged 75 years. He entered service as a drafted private
militia soldier in Surry County in a company commanded by Capt. Edwin
Hickman. He joined the company at the old Moravian Town in Surry and
from there to Surry Courthouse, called old Richmond. Col. Armstrong was
the commander, he believes. They marched under Capt. Hickman and his
brother Thomas Hickman (Lt.) to the Shallow Ford of the Yadkin River in
search of Tories. They marched towards the west a considerable distance
and crossed the Catawba River until we met the troops that had defeated the
British and Tories and taken them prisoners at the Battle of Kings Mountain.
This was about ten miles from the battleground, at which place the prisoners
were put under care of Capt. Hickman's and another company to guard and
run them to the old Moravian Town, crossing at the Shallow Ford of the
Yadkin River. Col. Cleveland and Major Winston were commanding the
troops from Kings Mountain that I saw. After remaining at the old Town, he
was marched as one of the guards of the prisoners to Guilford Courthouse,
where he was discharged, having served three months. This was in fall of
1780. John Maib was next called on as a minute man under Col. Martin
Armstrong. In this expedition he was marched from old Richmond Surry
Courthouse to the Brushy Mountains to route a set of Tories that "embodied"
about said mountains, but they could not find them. They returned home.
This service was at least ten days. John Maib next entered as a drafted
private in the Surry County militia. They met at old Richmond Surry County
Courthouse and marched under Capt. David Humphries to Guilford Court
House and then lay on the Battleground of Guilford. They joined the troops
under command of Col. James Martin and marched to or near Wilmington
after scouring the Raft Swamps after the Tories. In this expedition Maib
often times guarded the "markee" of his General Rutherford who was the
commander in chief of these troops. He served three months in this service,
which he can prove by William Southern and Edwin Hickman.
John Maib stated he was born in Albemarle County, VA. He was living in
Surry County at all times when he was called into service, and has resided in
the same neighborhood ever since the Revolution, which from the division
of Surry is now Stokes County. He was drafted on all of his tours of service.

EXCERPTS FROM: Mabe Family Book—Authors Virginia Mabe King
and Maria Mabe Thomas.
John Mabe received a pension for his services as a private in the North
Carolina Militia during the Revolutionary War. On September 9th 1833,
when he made his declaration of service, he stated he was living in Surry
County, North Carolina at the time he was called and has resided in the same
neighborhood since the end of the war (now Stokes County). He was first
drafted for a three month term in the late summer of 1780. He served under
Captain Edwin Hickman and his brother Lieutenant Thomas Hickman. They
marched to Old Moravin (Moravian) Town, and then to the courthouse at
Old Richmond; then to Shallowford on the Yadkin River and continued
marching until they were within 10 miles of the battleground at King's
Mountain. There they met the troops that had just defeated the British and
the Tories. That was October 7, 1780. They assumed control of the prisoners
and marched them to Old Moravin (Moravian) Town.

Long John’s next service was as a Minuteman. He was called for a ten day
tour under Col. Martin Armstrong for the purpose of routing a group of
Tories on Brushy Mountain but none were found. His last tour was for three
months. He served under Colonel John Martin. They marched almost to
Wilmington, North Carolina and searched the Raft Swamps for tories.

John and his wife, Lucinda, were members of the Snow Creek Baptist
Church in Stokes Co. ( GPS: 36.4869, -80.2291 http://goo.gl/maps/8dvw6 )

John's nickname was “Long John” because of his alleged height of seven
feet.

In 1975 the James Hunter Chapter of the Daughters of the American
Revolution (DAR) dedicated a marker that was placed at Long John’s
grave in the vicinity of his home-place in Stokes County.

John “Long John” Mabe was born ca 1758 in Albemarle County, Virginia
and died July 21, 1843 in Stokes County, North Carolina. He was the son of
John William Mabe and his wife, Nannie. He married Lucinda Hylton
(Hilton) on December 25, 1781 in Stokes County. They were married
on Beaver Island Creek, now Rockingham County, North Carolina, by the
Reverend John Newman. Lucinda was born ca 1761 and died 1861 in
Stokes County.

The 1850 Buck Island District, Stokes County, North Carolina census
shows:
Mabe, Lucy (80), Patty (46), Mary (36), Nelly (36), Aggy (Agnes) (34),
Marlin (Martin) (12), Cortes (Carter) (12), Matilda (6), Sidney B. (5), and
Caleb (2). Lucy's daughters, Patty, Nellie, Mary, Agnes, and her
grandchildren, Martin, Carter, Matilda, Sidney B. and Caleb were living
with her. She has no occupation and her real estate has no value. Her
daughters can all read and write. She, her children, and grandchildren were
all born in North Carolina. Various dates have been mentioned as the death
year for Lucinda, one as late as 1861. This would have made her 100 years
of age. Even the date of 1857 indicates age 96. In any case, she appears to
have lived well beyond John. The 1860 North Carolina census shows her as
“Age 92” and living alone.
