William Lemond, (lately a U.S. Pensioner inscribed
upon the Ohio agency) now in the sixty seventh
year of his age, resident in Cincinnati, who,
made, his declaration, and exhibited a
schedule of his property, before the City Court
for the city of Cincinnati on the 30th day
of June last, in obedience to the act of Congress
of the 1st of May 1820, a certified Copy
which was forwarded, to the War Department,
on the 5th of July (Ultimo) respectfully
asks leave to submit to the consideration
of the Honorable the Secretary of War certain
facts in relation to it, which have come
to his knowledge, subsequent to the making
of his said declaration, and schedule as
aforesaid, of which had he then been informed,
would have materially affected the
schedule of
property he has exhibited,
the said Lemond [illegible] ^that the house, and,
lot, or parcel of ground, mentioned in his
said Schedule, situated, on the corner of
first, or front street & Elm street in the city of
Cincinnati, which was valued, at two thousand
dollars (the more common & popular name of
the street is Elm street, but in the original
plan of the city it is called Filston street) is in
the original place of the city numbered
351 & 352, that he purchased, the said lots,
or parcel of ground, with the improvements
thereon from a certain Joel Williams, for
the sum of two thousand dollars - for which
the said Williams executed to him a
Page 21

general warrantee deed, dated, the 1st day
of March 1817.
That at the time of the purchase from Williams
as aforesaid, he was apprised that the Bank of
Cincinnati held a lien upon this property
against the said Williams, as a security for
the payment of a debt, due from him to
that institution, and, that at the same time
the said Williams, promised and obliged himself,
to release the property aforesaid from
this lien, and have it free and unincumbered
from all claims, whatever, to him
the said Lemond, his heirs and assigns
And trusting to the promises, and good faith
of him the said Williams, for the [illegible] and
faithful performance of his contract, the
said Lemond did expect, that the lien which
the Bank of Cincinnati held upon this property,
at the time of his said purchase as
aforesaid, had long [illegible] this been cancelled
but nevertheless, the said Williams has greatly
to the injury & disappointment, of this deponent
totally failed, to release, his property
from this charge, and the Bank, aforesaid
still holds the lien upon it, and has obtained
Judgment against the said Williams, for
a large sum to wit four thousand three
hundred and ten dollars and twenty one
cents upon which Judgment execution
has issued and
been levied upon deponents property which
is now advertised for sale to satisfy the
said Judgment with cost by the Sheriff
Page 22

of Hamilton County
This deponent further declares that at the
time the said declaration was made and
schedule exhibited as aforesaid he did confidently
believe that the claim, which the Bank of Cincinnati
held against his property was cancelled
and the first intimation which he had to the
contrary was the advertisement of his property
for sale at public auction at the suit
of Ethan Stone, (who is the president) for the
use of the Bank of Cincinnati
The said Lemond avers that the said Joel Williams
is now in prison in the Jail of Hamilton
County for debt and will in all probability
prove [illegible] And should he finally
be able to recover from the said Williams
an indemnity at law (of which there little
hope) the process, must necessarily be tedious
and the issue doubtful it will be
attended, with a heavy expence which he
is unable to bear
And finally this deponent declares
that the house and lot none in his possession
is situated in the subsets of the city
and admitting it to be free from all
incumbrances whatever, it being remote
from the public part of the City the seal
of business renders him unable readily
to rent or sell it hence the property
is unproductive to him But in its
present situation, it is impossible
for him to dispose of it to [illegible]
Under these circumstances of his case
Page 23

being now in the sixty seventh year of his
age, with a wife, and family of young
children who look up to him for protection
and support, with the prospect before
him of being, speedily disspossessed of
his house and home he respectfully
submits the Justice, and propriety of his
claim to be continued, on the Pension roll
