After serving between five and six months he was discharged and left the fort.

officer in the fort and sometimes Col. Charles Campbell was in the fort.
That during the summer of the year 1778 he served six months as one of the garrison of

the Monongahela River. The road was extended some distance over the mountains

Dear Sir
I again enclose to you the application of Andrew McIntire for a pension. You object to his claim on the ground that the militia of Pennsylvania were not usually called out to serve for so long a time as six months, and if called out by competent authority to serve for that length of time in a military capacity you require some additional proof thereof-to be exhibited.  Now the applicant has sworn that from his great age he is unable to detail distinctly the minute circumstances of his service, but is positive he served from sixteen to seventeen months during the war of the revolution, and believes he served considerably more, he has further Stated that he knows no individual living that can at all testify to his service except the witnefs John Mchaffy and has no documentary evidence of his service, so that your requisition of further proof of service are impofsible and the law requires no impofsibiility of any man Again if the objections made are intended as an excuse, for denying compensation, they might be considered worthy of a Talleyrand,  as they have the effect if persisted in of totally denying relief.  Again it is true the witnefs does not swear that he saw the applicant on duty the whole time, but in service several tours  If you turn to the records of your office you will find that the witnefs has been allowed a pension for services in a different part of the county and that his knowledge of the applicants services is accidental and casual  The application contains all the requisites prescribed by the regulations of the war department
Page 15

and in addition thereto the positive evidence of a revolutionary soldier and pensioner confirming his statement.  Again the applicant and his connections are among the most respectable (crossed out) citizens of Adams County, as the Hon. T.L. Hamer can inform you, and could if necefsary produce one hundred witnefses to testify to his character for truth and veracity and a great many to their befief of his services as a soldier of the revolution.  Again the witnefses who have been produced are two of the most respectable (crossed out) persons in the County.  Indeed I thought the applicationd would have been allowed without hesitation  As it is I again transmit it to you for your further consideration and as further proof is out of the applicants power, he wishes as his days are numbered and he cannot expect to live to enjoy his pension long, that a final determination be made, either allowing him such a pensions as under all the circum-stances, he merits or reject it at once, although no doubt of his services to a considerable de-gree can exist even in your own mind-  Believing that it is your desire that the remaining relics of the revolution shall be provided for and that your caution is occasioned by a wish to prevent impositions I send you the application trusting that it will receive all the consideration it merits.
