Papers
soliciting his Pension
Page 13

John Haney during my delegation to Congress placed some papers in my hands, with a view to obtain a pension. To these I added others obtained from & deposited most of them in the war office which some inform others could be rectified in the destruction of the war office I presume. the papers have been lost as I perfectly recollect the grounds of the claim of the amount of the documents adduced in proof, I will state them in order to aid a very deserving applicant for a pension - John Haney was enlisted in the second Maryland regt on continental establishment to serve during the war & war regularly discharged in its terminating - this appears of  record of the department of State in Maryland.

An extract from there records I had & where was one of the papers lost - I attended an order arguably to law to here the debility of John Haney ascertained was given by Docts. Baldwin J Mackay, certifying that John Haney was disabled by a gun shot wound these vouchers have been lost - the great
Page 14

difficulty arose from a want of legal [legal being underlined once] proof that John Haney recd his wound in battle from every inquiry which I could make, I never could discover that any of the officers of the second Maryland Reg. were now alive - I obtained an affidavit under the signature of two soldiers who saw John Haney reicive a wound at the battle of Eutaw Springs, and I saw a certificate under the hand of Doc Johnson, an hospital surgeon attached to the southern army, that he  recollected John Haney a wounded soldier in the hospital after the battle of Eutaw springs - The above mentioned papers are all lost, but I am ready to declare on oath the correctness of my statement the applicant is old - a cripple and indigent in extreme every way worthy of public support
