affidavit of Charles Plumline of the loss of his pension certificate
Page 4

Charles Plumline being duly sworn on his solemn oath doth depose and say, that he is the same person to whom the original certificate was given by the United States, setting forth that he is entitled to a pension of Four dollars and Eighty Cents per month on account of wounds and disabilities received or incurred in the services of the United States during the Revolutionary War.  That he deposited his certificate with one Stephen Moy laude who formerly paid him his pension being the United States Loan Officer.  That the said Stephen Moylaud is as he verily believes dead and he is unable to get his certificate it is therefore entirely lost to him.  He served int he first Pennsylvania Regiment of Infantry under Captain Sigler.  He has served under Generals Harmer, Sinclair, Washington, and Wayne.  He also says his disability still continues, that he is in extreme indigence and prays that a duplicate of his certificate may be issued and forwarded to him; to the care of Beck Peters Jr. Esq.  Philada That in a former application for a renewal it was unintentionally mentioned that he was entitled to Eight dollars p month.

Sir,

Some days since there was forwarded from my office the enclosed affidavit No 1 made by Charles Plumline and I now send a second affidavit by which he claimed a pension of Four dollars and Eighty centers per month.  The extreme age and imbecility of mind of this poor old Soldier have I presume caused the difference between the two affidavits.

If the duplicate certificate to which I trust it will be found this man is entitled is forwarded to me, I will hand it to him.

Respectfully,
Yours []

Affidavit of the loss of a Certificate of Pension of Charles Plumline

The pension foll of the Pennsylvania agency has been examined and there appears to be no pensioner of the name "Charles Plumline" who is entitled to as much as $8 per month, there must consequently be some mistake in this affidavit shish is there for returned.
