          On this 8th day of November A.D. 1830,
personally appeared before me, a Justice of the Peace within and for the County and State aforesaid, Rodham Talbott, age 87 years, a resident of Shelby County in the State of Ohio who being duly sworn according to law, declares that he is the identical Rodham Talbott, who was a private in the company commanded by Capt. William Mason and Col.
Ryan -illegible- in the Revolutionary War with
Great Britain, declared by the United States.
That he volunteered in Fairfax County, Virginia, on or about the 20th of May, A.D. 1781 or 1782 (he does not recollect which year). That he actually served three months and was honorably discharged at Colechester, in Fairfax County, Virginia, on or about the last of August, A.D. 1781 or 1782, as will appear by the muster rolls of said company.   -illegible- further states that neither he nor any one of the Company received a written discharge, but that the entire company was honorably discharged  by Col. Ryan's verbal command.
He makes this declaration for the purpose of
obtaining his pension to which he is now and long has been entitled to under the old Pension Act of Congress, granting pensions to Revolutionary Soldiers. 
                             Rodham Talbott

Sworn to and subscribed before me this 8th day of November A.D. 1830, and I hereby certify that I believe the said Rodham Talbot 
to be the identical man who served as above stated, and that he is also of the age above stated. 
                J.F. Frazer, Justice of the Peace                 
                                             in from Clinton

To the Commissioner   
of Pensions,                    Friday, Nov. 8th, 1830

Sir, 
I wish my claim for a pension for any service in the Revolutionary War between the United States and Great Britain may be examined, and if I am entitled to the same, I authorize you to forward it to M.C.H. Sidney, Shelby Co. Ohio, who I have employed to act as my agent in the application for, and receipt of my Pension.
 Respectfully -illegible-
I remain your obedient servant,
                             Rodham Talbott

To the Commissioner of Pensions,
Sir, you will observe that I have not been explicit in stating when the Old Pension Act was passed.  I was unable to prove the "Act" before I wrote out the above application. Though I suppose it is non-material. I have stated the facts of Mr. Talbott's case as  precise as he could recollect.  He is 87 years old & his memory has failed in some degree.  His Officers and fellow members of the Company are all deceased, and consequently, no further evidence can be obtained as to his service. This is included in the above application with his own affidavit. He is a man of correct standing & has long been respected by all who know him as an honest 
& upright man & all that are acquainted with him believe him to be justly entitled to 
a regular pension & that he ought to have had it long ago. I hope this claim will be taken into consideration by the "Department". Should it be necessary that anything further must be done on the part of the applicant for a pension, please inform me.   Please write to me as soon as the above application is disposed of.    -illegible-
