Declaration in order to be placed on the pension List under the out of the 18th March 1818
State of New York
County of Franklin Js. On this ninth day of October 1833. personally appeared in open Court before the Judges of the court of Common Pleas, held at the Court house in the Town of Mutone in and for the said county of Franklin being a Court of Record for the said county, Uriah Kingsley of Monroe resident in said county aged seventy two years who being first duly sworn according to law doth on his oath make the following declaration in order to obtain the the provision made by the acts of congress of the 18th March 1818 and 1st of May 1820. That he the said Uriah Kingsley enlisted in the month of July in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and eighty two, at Boston in the State of Massachusetts, into the Naval Service of the United States as a Seaman on board of the Frigate, then called the Frigate Dean or Dea, commanded at the time by Captain Nicholson for a cruise against the common Enemy, that soon after he entered the service, and before the said Frigate sailed from Boston Harbour, Captain Nicholson was dismissed and Captain John Manley took the command of the said Frigate and changed the name of the , vessel to the Hague, by which name she was afterwards known, that in the month of July or forepart of August in the same year the said Frigate sailed on a cruise under the Command of the said Captain John Manley among the West Indies Islands and made several captures, that he continued to serve in the said Vessel as a seaman until the last of May or first of June, as near as he can recollect in the year one thousand seven hundred and eighty three, when the said Frigate having returned to Boston Harbour, he was honorably discharged from the service at Boston in the State of Massachusetts having several for a period of ten months or more, as he believes, but did not receive any written discharge.  That he hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension except the present, and declares that his name is
Page 5

not on the roll of any State; and that the following are
the reasons for not making earlier application for a pension
-that he made an application for a pension under the act
of the 18th of March 1818 by a Declaration bearing date
on the 28th day of April 1818 which Declaration as he
believes was drawn in conformity with the then regulations 
of the War Department, and is now herewith presented-
that his said Declaration (as he is advised and believes) was
then sent to the War Department  at Washington for examina-
ion and allowance, and was returned with and endorsement
thereon Stating that the testimony of two disinterested and
credible witnesses to prove his services, was required- that at
that time, he did not know that he could prove his services by
any living witness- and that by reason of his ill health, indi-
gent circumstances, and the great distance from his place
of residence to the residence of such witnesses he has been
unable untill this present year to obtain the testimony of
two witnesses to prove his said services- And in pursuance 
of the act of the 1st May 1820. I do solemnly swear that I
was a resident citizen of the United States on the 18th day
of March 1818 and that I have not since that time by gift
sale or in any manner disposed of my property or any part
thereof, with intent thereby so to diminish it as to bring myself
within the provisions of an act of Congress "An
act to provide of for certain persons engaged in the land and
naval service of the United States in the revolutionary War
passed on the 18th day of March 1818, and that I have not
nor has any person in trust for me any property or securities
contracts or debts due to me, nor have I any income other than
what is contained in the schedule hereto annexed and by
me subscribed, to wit, two cows in my possession, on of which
I gave to my Daughter Caroline about three years ago when
it was two years old to pay her for labour done in my family-
6 common chairs-one Table-a little iron ware and crockery
and some cooking utensils merely sufficient to keep House-
necessary clothing, Beds and bedding for myself and family
which is poor and less than we need- That since the 18th of
Page 6

March 1818. the  following changes have been made in my
property-that on the 18th March 1818 I owned tow cows-one
plough-one chag and a few other farming implements. a
Small quantity of house hold furniture-cooking apparatus 
and necessary wearing apparel, Beds and bedding for my
self and family-that I have always since owned one cow-
that in the year 1820 or 1821 I sold one of my cows to Dr.
Moses Hoyt to pay him for medical services rendered by him
in my family-that since that time I have raised one pair
of oxen which I sold last fall to my son Franklin Kinsley
for which he has paid some of my debts contracted for
necessaries to O. Lawrence & Co. and to John J. Tomb and
procured for me thirty one dollars in money to defray
the experiences of my journey to Massachusetts to obtain the
testimony of witnesses to prove my said services-the said
faming implements owned by me in the year 1818 have
been worn out-That my occupation is that of a farmer-
that by reason of age and infirmities, I am and for
fifteen years last past have been unable to labor or to
perform any profitable business except occasionally to
dress a few Deer skins-that my family consists of myself
my wife Parnel aged fifty seven years, who has been
long in bad health and is now crazy and unable to perform
any labor-my daughter Caroline Kingsley, aged twenty
four years-my son Franklin Kingsley aged twenty two years
and three months-and my son William Kingsley aged
nineteen years who has been sick for four months past , and
during the last three months has been confined to his bed,
and probably will never recover his health-That I owe Dr
Erastus Fuller of Moria for medical services rendered for me
and in my family sixty seven Dollars-To Mr Lawrence for
Goods and necessaries for myself and family fifteen dollars,
and to John J. Tomb of Moria for the like eight Dollars
and that I have no interest in any Lands or real estate nor
any means of paying  my first Debt other than such as I
have before herein mentioned-

I hope Sir that at any rate his last Declaration

well satisfied that Kingsley came abord of the
frigate in July 1782, Kingsley did the duty of a 
seaman and was stationed on the forecastle.
The Frigate was called the Dean Frigate when we
entered. It was afterwards altered and called
The Hague, I have heard the affidavit of
Ezekiel Going and I know all is true which
is stated by said Going, except I did not recognize
Kingsley untill after some conversation and
I then recognized him, I have not seen Mr.
Kingsley since we were discharged till
to day he came to my house. I know he
is the same Kingsley that served with
us. I should think he is two years older than
I am.

As you were informed in the indorse-

the name Uriah Kingsley has not been
found on the rolls, on the file in this
office or any organization of New
York or Continental troops in service
during the war of the Revolution.
In view of your statement to the 
effect that the soldier in question received a pension on account of his
service in the Revolutionary war, it
is suggested that full statement of
that service can probably be obtained
from the Commissioner of Pensions,
Washington, D.C., who is the custo-
dian of the pension records of that
war, and whose office is separate and
distinct fro the Record and Pensio

He applied for a pension Apr. 28. 1818, at the

pension would stop at his death, that is the

Uriah Kingsley lived in Franklin Co. N.Y. at

about Aug. 1782. Very Respectfully,
