Sir
The enclosed is the
first application I have ever made
for a pension certificate in the
first case-I have no acquaintance
with the pensioner but I am person
ally acquainted with the Justice of peace
Sammy McCulley & the Clerk J L Dallam
neither of whom I believe would be
concerned in procuring a pension for
one not entitled to it-
should any thing more
be required please inform me
Yours Respectfully
Joseph Ficklin

Sir:
The declaration of Leonard Stringer has been examined.
He alleges one tour of about two months and one tour of about
three months as a Militia man of Virginia, and also two tours
of service in driving wagons, and as a soldier on board a vessel
called the "Polly Hacker", Captain Parcels. Service as a wagoner
is not provided for by the Act of 7 June, 1832, and the
vessel in which he served was a private armed vessel, which
service is not provided for by the above mentioned Act. That
Act provides for none who did not perform six months service
in a Militia capacity or in a public armed vessel. The claim
has therefore been rejected & the papers filed in this office.
Joseph Ficklin, Esq.
Lexington, Ky.
