John C. Hagan twenty eight years
Old being duly sworn deposes that in the spring of the
year 1819, his father Charles Hagan took him into 
partnership at Charlestown in Clark County in the 
Coppersmith business that said Charles was to furnish the capital
and this Deponent to do the work & share the profits the
said Charles advanced sixteen hundred dollars of which
nine hundred & fifty dollars was paid to Todd & Hawkins
Merchants of Charlestown in Bank bills of Kentucky &
was exchanged so as to procure funds of specie value &
thereby reduced to nine hundred Dollars and said Todd,
& Hawkins made purchases for the firm with said sum and
advances of seven hundred dollars more by them to the amount
of sixteen hundred dollars in stock and tools of the trade
the tools being about of the value of $150, on this capital
and means this Deponent commenced & continued in said
business about a year that the stock in this time was
all worked up and amounted as nearly as this deponent
conceived & recollects to about $2350 in value, that this
stock was sold at different times during the period aforesaid
on credit principally which was the cause of closing the 
business as money could not obtained to purchase stock to go
on with it, in making collections about fifty dollars of
this sum was lost by depreciated bark paper. This deponent
further states that this deponent retained out of said sum
about one hundred dollars that during the year about ┃
five hundred dollars out of the funds arising from said
Coppersmiths business was appropriated and went to defray
the expenses of said Charles Hogans family that this deponents 
clothing was also paid for out of the same funds
to the value of sixty dollars this deponent further states
that the expenses of the said Charles Family during the year
Page 10

preceeding were about five hundred dollars and was an entire
deduction of his capital to that amount he not being in
any productive business during that time this deponent also
States during the year succeeding said partnership business the expenses of said Charles family was about five
hundred dollars and as he was in no business an entire
deduction from his capital that the balance of the debt
due Todd & Hawkins was sued for & Judgment recovered
for the balance due six hundred & eighty odd dollars
forty having been previously paid this Judgment has
been finally paid off about $400 some time in 1821
and the balance subsequently by sale of the house & lot
196 of said Charles Hagan for $170 and by cash not
long after said sale this deponent also states that said
Charles lost about fifty dollars by being surety for one
George McDonald and having the debt to pay during the
period above mentioned said sum being in specie
this Deponent also states that the said Charles paid to
sundry physicians in Charlestown during the three years
above mentioned on account of sickness in his family
about the sum of one hundred dollars this deponent
further states that the certificate of said Charles when
he removed from Kentucky to Indiana was almost all
in notes & bonds on persons in Kentucky on credit of
one, two, three, four & five years upon which an account
of depreciation of currency & expense of collecting there
was a total loss of at least five hundred dollars this
deponent states that at the end of said three years said
Charles Hagan removed from Charlestown to the County
of Jackson so much impoverished by the result of the Coppersmith 
business & the general depreciation of property he rented
lot No 196 in Charlestown for about twenty dollars per
year the property was not tenanted all the time to the sale
of purchase of said lot in 1825 by Todd & Hawkins but the
account of rent received for it did not exceed fifty dollars
for the whole time, somewhere about half of that sum
Page 11

was received by this deponent & retained by him on account
of the profit which he conceived himself entitled to from the
Coppersmith business this deponent further states that soon
after said Charles Hagan removed to Jackson County he
and almost all his family fell sick by which an expense
of at least fifty dollars was incurred to Doctor Wyley who was
the Physician employed which has been settled and some
time after this said Charles Hagan broke his thigh by
which an Expense of twenty dollars to Doctor Newland
the surgeon was incurred & has been settled, this deponent
further states that said Charles expenses as well as this 
deponent can judge since his removal to the County of 
Jackson has been about & not less than one hundred dollars
a year more than the means procured by his labour & that
of his family, this deponent further states that he has at
all times been intimately acquainted with the situation
and pecuniary concerns of said Charles Hagan and as he
believes has always understood them better than he did
himself said Charles never to his knowledge and believes
kept any book of accounts or memorandum of his affairs
nor has this Deponent kept any account or memorandum
of said Charles affairs that during the existence of said
business this Deponent made now memorandum of work &
labour done and for which notes were always taken as soon
as they could be obtained of the account was not settled up
those memorandums, are now in part lost so that this
deponent is unable to give a detail but the general 
result not materially different from what has been above
stated, in addition to what has been already stated.
This deponent further saith that the said Charles is indebted
to him & his brother Francis Hagen in about the
sum of fifty dollars for advances to enable him to support 
his family, and further this deponent saith that
his said Charles Hagans means are entirely exhausted
and that he has nothing left of all his his former
means except the small tract of upwards of fourteen
Page 12

acres of land in this county & the property mentioned in his
Original Declaration with the amendments thereunto within
the knowledge of this Deponent and further this deponent
saith that Doctor Wyley above named is deceased, and
further saith not.

John Hagen of said County and Son of Charles Hagen Sen'r personally came before me a justice of the peace in and for said County and being duly sworn deposes and says, that the settlement alluded to in the statement & schedule of the said Charles Hagen lately forwarded to the Pension Office, took place Eight or Ten years since that previous to that time, they the said Charles and Deponent had been in partnership in a tin & copper manufactory in Charlestown Indiana and finding the business unprofitable, in consequence of the circulating midium [sic] at that time being principally depreciated Bank Paper, they dissolved, and this deponent sold all his interest in the Establishment to the said Charles his Father for One hundred dollars that said Charles was to receive all Debts and monies due the firm and pay and discharge all debts against the firm, - this was a verbal dissolution & settlement and is the same alluded to in said schedule - The $100 this deponent paid in about six months after the dissolution aforesaid, he further states that the firm was embarrassed at the time, but whether the said Charles ever realized any thing after settling the said concern he cannot say but his impression is, he did not to any amount of consequence.
The Deponent further States that at the settlement & dissolution aforesaid, there was a note due the firm on Woods & Bacon of something less than #200, which went into the hand of the said Charles and afterwards the Deponent attempted to collect it for his Father & failed, their property was sold and they left the neighborhood insolvent, which note has never as yet been collected, and I consider it good for nothing. Deponent supposes this to be the note alluded

John H Thompson of the County of Clark and State

numbers 284, 289 and 290 in Charlestown for, which
I assigned to D Nagan a note or notes on certain
Individuals in the County of Washington and State
aforesaid for about fifty dollars the notes I considered
of but little value if any, in consequence the
probable insolvency of the obligors in said notes
the lots I also considered of but little value
in consequence of the doubt as to the title and
their remote situation to the public Square
I know the individuals on whom the sd notes
were and believe them unable to pay sd notes
and do firmly believe that sd Hagan has not
realized and any payments on the same

also lost the contract was made and the
bond given on the 20th day of June 1823 -

We the undersigned, being citizens of the
town of Charlestown in the County of Clark and State of Indiana, have been for a number of years, acquainted with Mr. Charles Hagan, of Jackson County in this state, but who formerly resided in this town,
an old revolutionary soldier, who is about as we are informed, to refer his petition to Congress to be placed on the list of revolutionary pensioners: and we, having also seen and read his petition to that effect, (do hereby most cordially, unite in recommending him to the particular notice of Congress as a man whose long continued and active services in the War of Independence, his age, pecuniary losses, and misfortunes whereby he has been reduced to indigence and want: added to his present infirm and debilitated situation evincibly entitle him to a claim upon the justice and Liberty of his Country.

Dear sir, I have taken the

they were finally put into the hands of Mr. R. W. Nelson, by whoes untimely Death they were lost-
he has now no hopes, but in Congress-, he lives near me, and I can assure you I do not know a fitter object for the Justice & liberality of Congress & the accompanying petitions, (or recommendations) I believe was signed by every person to whom he was presented, I had no doubt but several thousand signers could readily been had- I am not informed whether it is usual to present petitions of this caracter in the senate of the U.S., if in your opinion it should more properly be presented in the house of rep, I hope you will have the goodness to give the papers to me Joining & recommend the subject to his particular attention - I feel great salicitude for the old mans sureness, he certainly very much needs the aid of his Country -
No particular was here, I understand the Intention of Instructing me, in relation to the United States Senator, has been abandoned - there is but little said about it at present
With much respect-
I am your very humble
Servant
