I, Elizabeth Crow, daughter & heir at law of John Miller,
do upon oath testify & declare to the best of my knowledge and
belief that her said father John Miller did enter the service
in 1776 for the term of during the war and served as a private
the regiment No. [blank] under the command of Colonel
[blank] of the Maryland line & that
he continued in the service until the close of the revolutionary
war that during his service he was under the immediate
command of Gen. Washington was in the battle of Brandywine,
and in various other battles. I think his captain's 
name was Makony ~ a part of the time.

I further declare that I have never received a warrant
for the bounty land promised to the said John Miller on
the part of the United States, nor do I believe that he ever 
received it or transferred his claim to in in any manner
whatsoever

Know all men by these presents that I Elizabeth Crow
aforesaid do hereby constitute and appoint Horace Steele
of Painesville, Lake County, Ohio, to be my true & lawful attorney
for me and in my name to demand & receive from the Commissioner
of Pensions, a warrant for the bounty land due to me as aforesaid
and my said attorney is hereby fully authorised & empowered to
constitute & appoint one or more substitutes or attornies under
him for the special purpose above expressed.
