He continued to serve as an Ensign for One year in said Regiment at which period the time for which said Regiment was raised expired, and a new regiment was raised & styled the first Jersey regiment & commanded by Co.

Certificate in Piatt's case

State of Kentucky Boone County } ss:
At a County Court begun and held at the Courthouse in the Town of Burlington in and for the County of Boone on Monday 4th day of March 1844.
On this 4th day of March 1844 came in open
Court Abraham Piatt son of Jacob Piatt deceased and resident of said County, who on his oath makes the following declaration in order to obtain the benefits of the provisions of the act of Congress passed the 7th of June 1832. Affiant states that he is one of the surviving sons of Jacob Piatt dec'd; that said Jacob Piatt was a resident of Boone County Ky.
& long before his death; that he made his declaration for a pension in said County sometime in the year 1832 and said papers are now in the files of the department at Washington City (which is here referred to) that said Jacob Piatt was an officer of the New Jersey line during the Revolutionary War. And on the 5 day of November 1832, was inscribed on the Pension roll of the United States, at the rate of $351.24 cts per annum for his
services in the line aforesaid as adjutant & Captain.
Affiant begs leave to refer to the aforesaid declaration of said Piatt, now on the files of the pension office at Washington City together with all other papers vouchers and notes of the U. States & New Jersey; likewise such other and further documents as may be hereafter discovered, that affiant is induced to
believe that said allowance as made to said Jacob Piatt on the 5th day of November 1832 for $351.24/100 is not as much money or pension as was of right due for his military services; he therefore prays that said
case be examined and all errors and omissions corrected, and that such allowance by way
of pension be allowed and admitted as in right
is due in virtue of the aforesaid services; and affiant would further state that his father departed this life on the 14th day of August 1834 at his residence; that he left at his death a widow Martha
Page 10

that she died two years last past, that said Jacob Piatt left of whom are now living, three children to wit: This affiant Abraham Piatt, Benjamin M. Piatt, Hannah C. wife of Philip Granden the two latter living in Ohio.
Sworn to & subscribed the day and year aforesaid in open Court and ordered to be
Certified.
On this 4th day of March 1844. It was proved in open Court by the evidence of Roland Potts and Lewis Webb, that Jacob Piatt late a pensioner of the United States, departed this life on or about the 14th day of August 1834 resident of Boone County, Ky., where he had resided for many years, that he left at his death a widow Martha, who survived him a few years, that she has since died. That said Jacob Piatt left three children who are now living
to wit, Abraham Piatt of Boone County Kentucky, Benj M. Piatt & Hannah C. wife of Philip Granden of Ohio.
The above are all the living children of said
Piatt, deceased. All of which is ordered to be
certified to the department.
State of Kentucky, Boone County } ss:
I, J G Hamilton Clerk of the County Court for the County aforesaid do hereby certify that the preceding two orders as copied above from the record in my Office are justly and truly copied as now on file in my said Office.
In Testimony whereof I have hereunto set my name and affixed the seal of our said Court at the Courthouse in Burlington this 29th
day of June A.D. 1844.

Reference is made to your letter in which

Jacob Piatt was allowed pension on his
application executed August 4, 1832, at which time he was living in Boone County, Kentucky. He died in Boone County, August 14, 1834, leaving a widow, Martha. Her maiden name was not stated, and there are no details as to their marriage.

Dear Mr. Sweet:

I received your letter of July 25 in regard to the war record of John D. Piatt. However, I still
find that my records are very disconnected and incomplete. In order to clarify them will you
send me the Records of Daniel Piatt and Jacob Piatt?
I am told that the  record of Adam Follmer is in the Pennsylvania Archives Series No 5. p. 212 discharge and payroll record on p. 242 of
same volume. Do you have any idea as to where these records would be?
Thank you very much for the record on John Piatt-- it is just what I would like to get on these other men.
