DISTRICT OF PENNSYLVANIA, ss.

On this thirtieth day of May A. D. 1818, before me, Richard Peters, Judge of the District Court of the United States, in and for the Pennsylvania District, personally appeared Dennis Moore of Nice Town Philadelphia County who being duly sworn
deposes and declares, that during the War of the Revolution he served against the common enemy as a seaman in the Navy on the Continental Establishment
that on the ____ day of A. D. 1778 at Philadelphia in the state of Pennsylvania, he entered aboard the Ship Resing under command of Captain Day and sailed
under a bridge to watch the Cork fleet coming to New York. The second day after they went and were chased by the Rankin frigate and afterwards the Green found them, captured them, after which they were thrown into the prison ship Old Jersey where he remained ten months and two weeks when he with others made his escape from which time he was not called again into service.  When he ended his time, he cannot say how long he enlisted for.

That by reason of his reduced circumstances in life, he is in need of assistance
from his country for support, that he never has received, or been allowed
any Pension by the laws of the United States that he is a resident citizen of the
United States, and that he never received a discharge.

Dennis Mooney

Sworn and subxcribed this 30th day of May AD 1818 before me,
