Some about two hundred and seventy dollars $270.00

That since the 18th day of March 1818 the following changes have been made in my property. In the year 1818 I owned a farm
in the County of Schoharie, of about one hundred and seventy acres of upland; worth about eight hundred dollars, that towards part of the consideration I turned out same property and gave a hand and a mortgage of five
hundred and thirty five dollars on said farm to secure the ballance of the purchase money. The mortgage remains unpaid and now amounts with the interest to rising of nine hundred dollars, that the land was sold about three 
years ago, subject to the mortgage, on a judgment obtained against me in the supreme court of the State of New York in 1820, in favour of Atwater, Cook and Dwight for about one hundred and ninety two dollars besides the interest on the same for about six years. The Judgment was obtained on a note they bought of Archabald Croswell which I gave him for what I owed him. The farm was bid off for about two hundred and fifty dollars for Archibald Croswell, who now owns the same unless he has disposed of it. And on the 18th of March 1818, I owned one share of horses, one waggon, one fanning mill, a two horse harness, two Cows, a two horse sleigh and same young cattle, all of which were sold in December 1820, on said execution, excepting one of the cows which I
have now. I had also a mow of hay, a plough, drag an evener, some flax and a small quantity of grain growing on the ground all of which was sold at the time aforesaid on said execution. Part of the money arising from the sale was applied on an other execution in favor of Dubois
& Van Vons. A part of the property was bid off by Abraham Richtmyer and a part by Christopher Hoagland, ['and a part by John Hoagland, Junior' crossed out] and a part by John Hoagland, Junior.

I am a farmer by occupation, and am able to labour moderately, I have a wife aged about seventy two years, and a daughter, a single woman living with me aged about forty six
years and is a weakly person, unable to support herself or to
Page 5

contribute much towards her support.

Durango, Colorado

Dear Madam:

Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War record of John
Hoagland, born about 1759, Somerset County, New Jersey, died December, 1831.

The data furnished herein were obtained
from papers on file in claim for pension, S.43694, based upon service of John Hoagland, in the War of the Revolution.

The date and place of birth of John Hoagland
are not given, nor are the names of her parents
shown.

John Hoagland enlisted in New Jersey (definite
place not stated), sometime in August, 1775,
served as private in Captain John Polhemus' company in the New Jersey Regiment, commanded by Lord Sterling (Colonel William Alexander) and was discharged at Ticonderoga, having served one year and three months, the regiment at the time of his discharge was commanded by Colonel Winds.

He was allowed pension on his application
executed October 6, 1839, at which time he was a resident of Schoharie County, New York, aged
Page 7

sixty-nine years and "about eleven months".

The soldier, John Hoagland, referred to his
wife, in 1829 as aged about seventy-two years, and to a single daughter aged about forty-six years, but he gave no names.

Reference was made in 1820 to Christopher
Hoagland and to John Hoagland, Jr., but it was
not stated that they were related to the soldier,
or were related to each other.

The papers on file in this claim contain no
further discernible data relative to family.

In order to obtain the date of last payment
of pension, name and address of person paid, and possibly the date of death of this pensioner, you should apply to The Comptroller General, General Accounting Office, Records Division, this city, and furnish the following data-

Dr. Sir.
    Enclosed I forward the amended declaration and affidavits in the pension proceedings of John Hoagland, the old man in his first declaration stated that he enlisted in the year 75.  He is still impressed with that belief,, yet he has varied it by saying that he enlisted in 75 or 76, so have the witnesses.
    You state in your letter that Polhemus did not enter the service till Dec. 7 , from which it would appear that Hoagland could not have served under Polhemus over eleven months.
   I have no doubt but Hoagland enlisted at the time he stated, but the probability is at that time the company was commanded by some other person and that Polhemus commanded at the time he and the witness was discharged, and probably had for some time before, and having commanded the bigger part of the time Hoagland and the witness served, left the impression that he commanded at the time they enlisted.
    It can hardly be expected that men can swear to the month, or even the year, in which an occurrence took place more than half a century ago.
    That Hoagland enlisted and served fifteen months can't be doubted, for the fact stands legally proved, and a service of nine months would entitle him to a pension.  Now whether his service commenced in 75 or 76 cannot be material.
   I hope the preceding will be satisfactory as the witness lives between two and three hundred miles from Hoagland and perhaps a further activation or amendment cannot be procured.  Very respectfully your obdt sert. Elias Holliday

the amount of each execution this deponent
does not recollect, as they are not now in the
hands of this deponent, that on looking over this deponents papers he finds a memorandum of the sale made on said executions, of the property of the said John Hoagland, from which it appears that on the 8th day of December 1820 this deponent made sale of the personal property of the said Hoagland which was held 
to the persons herein mention for the respective sums mentioned. To wit, two horses
bid off by Christopher Hoagland at $40

All of which property was struck off to the highest bidders after due notice of the sale according to Law.
a part of the money arising from the avails of the sale was applied on the one execution and a part on the other but the proportion that was paid on each this deponent does not recollect. And this deponent further saith, that the sale

Further that the money on all the bids was
paid to this deponent and applied on the executions as above stated, but neither of the

Somerset Co., N.J. and bapt. Nov. 25, 1759
served in the Rev. War and according to the Hoagland Genen. he was pensioned - Pension Roll 236 - Jan. 30, 1830 - then living in Schoharie Co., N. Y. at that time 71 years. He died Dec. 1831.  It states further that his wife was Phebe, daughter of Alexander Baird, to whom he was married July 18, 1780 - she was born in 1766 and died in 1837.

Baird genealogy states that Alexander Baird [more] had a daughter Ann born 1766.

Does the pension record of John Hoagland give  the name of the father (or parents) of Phebe
(Baird) Hoagland.  We want to see
Page 25

If this Alexander Baird served in the Revolution and to prove (underlined)that the father of Phebe was Alexander. Perhaps Phebe received a pension after her husband died. Any information or help you can give about Phebe or her parents or birthplace to use for proof will be appreciated.
Very truly yours,
(Mrs.) Harriet B. Warner

who married the above noted John Hoagland.

Please furnish as much as possible of the following data relative to Alexander Baird: approximate dates of birth and death and places of residence at enlistment and after service.

He referred to his wife in 1829 as aged about
seventy-two years, and to a single daughter aged about forty-six years, but he gave no names.

Reference was made in 1820 to Christopher Hoagland and to John Hoagland, Jr., but it is not stated that they were related to the soldier or to each other.

If you desire information in regard to the last
