J L Edwards Esqr
Sir
Herewith I send the application of Timothy Owen for Pension under the act of June 7. 1832. Mr Owen has delayed his application until this time under the belief that it was necessary to have the testimony of two persons to each term of service, but having lately understood that one will answer where no more can be found has now made his application
his first term of service under Cap Hender is supported by the evidence of Daniel Kindrick who was with him, the second tour under of Dana in 1779 he has no proof whatever, he is however positive as to the service as he has stated, his third term under Captain Paine is supported by the testimony of the Hon Phineas Parkhurst one of our most respectable inhabitants.  he states positively as to the service.   he was living near the guard house at which Mr Owen was stationed at the time, was then and always has been since well acquainted with him
Mr Owen hopes his statement and witness will be sufficient and that a certificate will be made for him & wishes it sent to me-
I am very Respectfully yr. mo obt servant
[signed] Timothy Kenrick
