Declaration,
In order to be restored to the Pension List

State of Pennsylvania 
York Courty  PS

On the 12th day of March, 1828, personally appeared in open Court, being a District Court and a Court of records for the county of Clark, Jacob Cramer, resident in said county, aged seventy one years, who being duly sworn, according to law, doth, on his oath, make the following declaration, in order to obtain the provision made by the acts of Congress, of the 18th March 1818, and the 1st of May 1820; that he, the said Jacob Cramer, enlisted for three years on the nineteenth day of July, in the. year 1776 in the state of Maryland, in the company commanded by Captain Baltzel and afterward by Captain Michael Boyer, in the regiment commanded by Colonel Hansecker and afterwards by Colonel Weltner, that he continued to serve in the said corps until the end of the years, when he was discharged from the service, at Wyoming, in the state of New York, that his name had been placed on the pension list and dropped therefrom on account of his property.
And in furtherance of the act of the 1st of May 1829, I do solemnly swear, that I was a resident citizen of the United States, on the 18th day of March 1818 and that within the provisions of an act of Congress, entitled an act to provide for certain persons of the land and naval services of the Unites States in the Revolutionary War, passed on the 18th day of March , 1818; and I have not, nor had any person in trust for me, any property or securities, contracts, or debts, due to me; or have I any income, other than what is contained in the schedule hereto annexed and by me subscribed.  That since the exhibition of my first schedule the following changes have been made in my property.
The half of the lot of ground returned in my first schedule, with a shop thereon erected, sold to my son, Daniel Cranmer, on the 18th day of September, in the year 1821, for the sum of TwoHundred Dollars, to whom I was indebted for wages and a journeyman at the [illegible] making business, for seven years after he had become of age ( see a copy of the Dees transmitted herewith).  There may have been some trifling changes in my house and kitchen furniture, owing to
Page 11

wear and tear, but they are not particularly recollected and are of but of small amount.
Schedule of Property
It half lot of ground, situate in the borough of York, on which is erected an old dwelling house, much out of repair wanting a new roof and many other repairs to make it comfortable, which I am unable to make-- valued at $300
1 old 30 hour clock valued at $10
A lot of Tools used in carrying on my trade $7.50
3 old tables valued at $2.25
One old case of drawers valued at $2.50
Windsor chair and 6 old splitbottom (illegible) valued at $2.50
A lot of kitchen furniture valued at $6.00
Whole amount $330.75

My trade is that of making wrought nails, which owing to the low price of cut nails make by machinery would surely be worth following were I in good health, but on the contrary I am much affected with sickness and am sometimes prevented from doing any work, by severe attacks of Rheumatism, by which I have been very much affected since I left the army.  I am now Seventy one years old.  My family consists of my wife aged Seventy years and my son Daniel, whose labor has been for many years my principal support (and is not now in the situation to render me any further support or assistance.) for which labor he never received any compensation but the $200 the purchase money of the half lot of ground which I sold him, and which $200. is not a full compensation for his wages, the said half lot of ground was not sold or disposed of, with intent thereby to diminish my property so as to bring myself within the provisions of the Act of Congress providing for persons engage in the Revolutionary War.
I will also state that I served in the army three years, was slightly wounded in the battle of Monmouth, the effects of which wound I yet occasionally feel, I am now so infirm and so much afflicted by sickness as to be unable by my own labor to make a living.  I would further state about thirteen years ago I became one of the bail in a note at the York Bank, for my son in law Henry Lauk, who at that time held valuable property and was considered to be in good circumstances, but owing to the deprecation of property and other misfortunes, the said Henry Lauk failed and became insolvent.  That the balance for the note for which I am now liable is about Two Hundred and ninety Dollars, part of which
Page 12

I will no doubt have to pay as Lauk has no property nor had he any  (illegible) of paying it.

Sir,
I transmit to you the papers in support of the claim of Jacob Crammer be restored to the pension roll.  He was (illegible) at the War Department on account of his property being worth more than $300.  I know Mr Crammer to be a very honest man, and that his statement may be relied on as true.  The excess is but about $30- a sum so small that as he has no income whatsoever this objection will probably be removed before the applicant will realize the bounty of his country should it be awarded to him by your hon. Committee.
I have the honor to be 
respectfully yours
