Be it Remembered that on this 2d day of August in the year
1831 before me the subscriber a Justice of the Peace in and for the County
aforesaid personally appeared James Landon who on his oath declares
that he is the same person who formerly belonged to the company commanded
by Capt Luce, in the Regiment commanded by Col Shrieves in the
New Jersey Line in the service of the United States, during the Revolutionary 
War; that his name was placed on the Pension Roll of the State of Ohio,
from whence he removed in the year 1830 to the State of Pennsylvania and
was transferred to the Pension Roll of that State; that he has lately removed
from Pennsylvania to Delaware County in the State of Ohio, where he intends
to remain, and wishes his pension to be there payable in future. The following
are his reasons for removing from Pennsylvania to Ohio.- He removed from
Ohio to Pennsylvania in order to take care of his son who resides therein
a very low state of health; that he found his son unable to contribute to his
support and his pension proving insufficient for that purpose, on the account
of the high price of provisions, he found himself obliged to return to Ohio,
where provisions are cheap and the expenses of living small.

Dear Sirs:
I am making an attempt to prove a line of ancestry that runs
into the Landon Family of Sussex County, N.J. Records of the Adjutant
General in Trenton indicate that, among others of the name, Thomas,
Laban, Nathaniel and James Landon served in the Sussex County Militia.
other records show that they were brothers, and one of them was the
father of Thomas Landon, born in Luzerne County, Pa. in 1789.
I shall very much appreciate it if you will advise me whether
any of these men applied for Revolutionary War pensions, and, if so,
if you will give me a brief abstract of the information regarding their
service and also their family records as far as these data are found
in their pension applications, if any.
These brothers all lived in later years in various parts of
Pennsylvania and also, apparently, in New York State. They moved around
considerably.
Thanking you for your assistance in this search, I am
