Octr. 1, 1832. Enoch Breeden of Spts. Co., aged 73 years 8 mos. Was born in Maryland, Jany. 1, 1759. His father removed himself and his family to Va when he was about 7 years old. Resided in Charles City Co. when the war commenced. His father having entered the Revolutionary War, from which he never returned, he and his mother removed to King Wm. Co., where two of his brothers resided. He entered the Va. militia in King Wm. Co. in summer of 1776, having been drafted and served a three months tour of duty. In this tour he served in Capt. Mordacai Abrahams company. Marched to Hampton where company remained until end of tour. Served several other short terms as volunteer and as substitute of his brothers, Moody and Caleb Breeden, who had families and had to take care of affiant's mother. Served on several missions in King Wm. Co., which was liable to the depredations of the enemy while their ships were in York River. While on these tours served under command of Colo. Hickman and Captains Mordacai Abraham, Christopher Tompkins, Mordacai Booth, and Harry Quarles. Militia service was performed by him at intervals as required until Jany., 1781. In that month was drafted and remained in the service performing his own tour and as substitute of his two brothers until the end of October in that year. In this service Capt. Drury was his first Captain; Capt. Booth commanded line part of time and Capt. Abraham the latter part of time. Company was in first Regiment commanded by Coll. Charles Dabney, and they joined Genl. Stevens at Four Mile Creek in Henrico Co., and from thence the troops retreated through Hanover and Spts. Counties into Culpeper, crossing the Rappk. River at Elleys Ford; the whole command under Genl. Lafayette. Shortly they recrossed the River at Raccoon Ford into Orange Co. and marched to Pogues Mills, thence to the Marquess New Road, and to Machunk Creek in lower end of Albemarle, thence marched towards Richmond and while on road were joined by Baron Steuben, and they marched into lower end of Hanover and were encamped for some time at Simms Neck on Pamunkey River, thence marched down country through New Kent to near Jamestown, where the affiant was detached to carry a parcel of broken down horses to King Wm. Co.; upon return was in Major Campbell's battalion. They crossed York River at White House Ferry in August, where they joined General Weedon's Army, marched thence to Ware Church in Gloucester Co. where they were joined by the "French horse" under Lauzan. They stood before the British in Gloucester Co. until the surrender. A few days before that event the three King Wm. Militia Companies to one of which affiant belonged, were sent up to their own County where they remained until their discharge. Shortly after the surrender the affiant removed to Spotsylvania Co. where he has since resided.
