State of Kentucky Mason County Sct[?]

Daniel Hukins states that he enlisted, as a common soldier, in the war of the revolution under Captain John Sears, in the State of Maryland and in the fall of the year 1779 or 80, as well as he recollects, was marched to Anapolis; where he was attached to a company commanded by Capt. Edward Spurrier, whose  company joined General Smallwood; and marched to North River where the said company was placed under the command of Genl Washington and after continuing in the regular service, upon Continental establishment about three years he was honorably discharged at the close of the war, which discharge papers[?] were lost, as he also has lost every other evidence of his enlistment, and Service in said Continental army.  He cannot at this time remember the Commandant's name of the Regiment he belonged to but he remembers it was the Third Maryland Regiment.  He says that he is at this time poor, and in consequence of reduced circumstances in life stands in need of the assistance of his Country for support_ having a large & helpless family to support, eight children out or eleven being yet with him  and in addition he states to his poverty he received in the service of his Country, during the war, about four miles from  North River, a severe wound in the left arm, which debilitates him very much.  He never yet received a pension of his Country in consequence of his wound: and asks for it now under the late excellent act of Congress because he is in need.
He is a citizen of and has lived in Mason County for about twenty five years.  He was never in any regular battle but was in a skirmish with the  tories, near the North river, in which he recd his wound mentioned above.  He was 57 years old in March last and was about 18 when he enlisted.  He says he has no proof in his power of his having performed the service afd.
J. Adam Beatty, sole Judge of the Mason circuit court, certify that Daniel Hukins This day made oath to the foregoing declaration  in due form before me.  I further certify
Page 7

from my knowledge of the said Hukins' circumstances that he is very poor, and stands in need of the assistance of his country for a support.  I further certify that I have known said Hukins many years, and have always understood he was a revolutionary soldier, but he has produced no proof to me on that point, but his own oath, having none in his power, as he alleges.  Given under my hand this 13th July 1818.

S. 36608
BA-J/MLB

Dear Madam:

Reference is made to your letters of recent date, in which you request the Revolutionary War records of John H. Hessey, Abiah, Daniel, Jacob and Robert Hukill (Hewgley, Hukell or Hukins), all of whom served from the State of Maryland.

Because of the great demand for Revolutionary War data, and the limited trained clerical force available for furnishing such information, it is impossible to comply in full with each request relative to soldiers of that war. The record of Daniel Hukins (name appears also as Hukell or Hukill) is furnished you herin as shown in pension claim, S. 36608, based upon his service in the Revolutionary War.

Daniel Hukins was born in March 1761; the place of his birth and names of parents are not shown.

Daniel Hukins enlisted in Cecil County, Maryland, in the fall of 1779 or 1780, served as private in Captain Edward Spurrier's company in the Maryland troops, was in a skirmish with the Tories about four miles from North River in which he was wounded in his left arm and discharged November 15, 1783.

The soldier was allowed pension on his application executed July 13, 1818, at which time he was a resident of Mason County, Kentucky, where he had lived about twenty-five years. In 1820, he was residing in Fayette County, that state. He died June 6, 1833.

Daniel Hukins made reference to eleven children, eight of whom were still with him in 1818. In 1820, he referred to his wife then aged forty-five years but did not give her name. He also referred to the following children then living with him: Rachael Hukill aged seventeen years; Billey aged fifteen years; Susan aged twelve years; Sally aged
Page 10

nine years and Malinda aged seven years; no other names of children were given.

In order to obtain date of last payment of pension, and name and address of person paid, you should write to the Comptroller General, General Accounting Office, Records Division, this city, and cite the following data: Daniel Hukins, certificate #12749, issued July 21, 1819, rate $6 per month, commenced July 15, 1818, Act 18th March, 1818, Kentucky Agency.

Very truly yours
