State of New York
Ontario County  Ss 
On this twenty second day of February 1833 personally appeared before the Judges of the County Court now sitting, David Pembrook a resident of the town of Hopewell, in the said County, aged Sixty eight years, who being duly sworn, according to Law, doth on his oath make the following declaration, in order to obtain the benefit of the provision made by the act of Congress, passed June 7th 1832 - That he enlisted in the army of the United States in the year 1779 with Captain Andrew Moody, in Colonel
John Lambs Regiment of New York Artillery under General Knox, at West Point. It was on the 1st February 1779 he enlisted for during the War, as a fifer, and served nearly  two years as a Fifer in Captain Moody's company, and then went into the Ranks as a private-- after serving on this station about a year and a half Captain Moody was ordered to take his company to Fort Stanwix on the
Mohawk river, and he went with said company, and served there over one year, when Captain Stewart of Colonel Cranes Regiment came there and relieved them when we were marched back to Albany and went from there to West point, and there did duty-- during this time Colonel Lamb went to the South, and was at the taking of Cornwallis, as he was informed, and when Colonel Lamb returned, we were joined to his Regiment again,
and remained in this Regiment until the 9th June 1783 when he was discharged by Captain Moody, and he
then received a written discharge from him, but it is now lost, and was worn out, and nothing of it remains-
He was in one battle at Johnstown, where Colonel Willett commanded-- When he entered the service at 
West Point in 1779 his father David Pembrook, and his brother James Pembrook, belonged to the same company in which he enlisted under Captain Moody (and whether either of them be now living, he does not know) and he, this declarant, was enlisted under the name of David
Pembrook Junior. He served three years and over four months, and he further saith, that during the late
war he served in Captain David Perry's company in the 5th United States Regiment, and was discharged
Page 4

by Colonel Leavenworth - He was wounded at Detroit, and disabled so as to be unable to labor, and is now
wholly disabled, and he receives a pension as an invalid of eight dollars
per month, under the New York agency- He hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension or annnuity for his Revolutionary services except the present, and he 
declares that his name is not on the Pension Roll of the agency in any State, only on that before stated,
and for his services during the late War -
Sworn to and subscribed
this second day of February 1833 in open court 
David  his X mark Pembrook

And the said Court do hereby declare their opinion, that the above named applicant was a Revolutionary soldier,
and served as he states. He having satisfactorily answered the interrogatories prescribed by the War Department
I, Charles Crane Clerk of the said Court do hereby certify that the foregoing contains the original proceedings of the  said Court in the matter of the application of David
Pembrook a Soldier of the Revolution for a pension-
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal of office, this twenty second day of February 1833

REVOLUTIONARY CLAIM.
I CERTIFY that, in conformity with the Law of the United States, of the 18th March, 1818, David Pembrook late a Private in the Army of the Revolution, is inscribed on the Pension List, Roll of the New York Agency, at the rate of eight dollars per month, to commence

Jany 26th 1854
Sir: As about two months have elapsed since I wrote to the Depmt in respect to the case of David Pembroke Jr. of N.Y. and as to answer has been received to that letter. I am
constrained to address you again and to call your attention to that case-
The position taken by the Depmt
is, it is respectfully submitted, so clearly erroneous  even by its own admissions, that though the balance claimed is a small matter I am requested by the Claimant again to apply to you. I beg leave respectfully
to suggest that the Silence of the Dept to my last letter on the subject is not the most satisfactory way to adjust the claim

The mistake of the Dept needs but
to be stated to be apprehended-
David Pembroke Jr, drew a pension
under act of 7th June 1832, at the rate $103. per ann. as a Fifer of Artillery- 
The full pay for 2 years service as a
Fifer of Artillery is $104 - of a Matross
Page 42

$100- Pembroke alleged service for 18 months as a Fifer, and then
went into the ranks and served as a Matross to the and of the war. His pension therefore was correctly adjusted under act of 1832, at $103 per ann. 18 months as a Fifer & six months as a Matross. But he was entitled under act of 15th May 1828. to a pension at the rate of $100- per ann. because he was a "Wars man" and was discharged as a Matross.
The claim has been allowed-- but the $3. per Ann over $100, which he drew under act of 7th June 1832, has been deducted-
This deduction is erroneous, for though he was entitled to but $100- per ann under act of 15th May 1828, till the time of the passage of the act of 7th June 1832- yet from that time he was clearly entitled to receive $103- per ann.--which he did-- for the service as a Fifer-
I enclose a certificate shewing
when he was turned into the ranks, which corresponds with his own declaration- The voucher is on file and I beg leave to request that it may be sent to the agent at Albany with instructions to pay the amount
Very respectfully
L.M. Drury

Mr Waldo says admitted under
