Court of Common Pleas of the Term of July 1832

On this day towit the 31st day of July 1832 personally appeared in open court before the Honorable the Judges of the Court of Common pleas now sitting within and for the County of Butler in the State of Ohio, Isaac Hull as resident of the County of Butler in the State of Ohio. Aged about seventy-two years, who being first  duly sworn ordering to Law, doth on his oath make the following Declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the Act of Congress passed June 7th, 1831-
That he entered the service of the United States under the following named Officers, and served as herein stated-he entered the service as a volunteer under Captain William Bruce in the County of Washington in the State of Pennsylvania in the year A.D. 1781 he thinks in the month of June in that year at any rate it was about harvest time--he was attached under Capt Bruce to a Regiment commanded by General Clark-said regiment was known better possibly by the title of Colonel Clark more immediately under the command of Colonel Crocket-he states that the Company to which applicant was attached was at that time intended to be marched to Detroit against the Indians-but their direction was afterwards changed and they left Washington County immediately for the Falls of Ohio to fight the Indians. They stoped [stopped] a short time, however, when on their way to the Falls at Pittsburgh Pa and also at Wheeling, Va. They did not stay long however at either of these points--several of Gen. Clarks men had deserted-and they then proceeded to the Falls of Ohio at which placed they halted-and he was marched to various points in and about the Country surrounding the Falls untill [sic] serve [?] in the winter following-applicant was in one very severe battle at or about rolling fork as he thinks it was, in Kentucky, this place was about two days march from the Falls-The circumstances that led to this battle were these-The Lite [sic] horse had been sent out to fetch in some individuals from an adjoining garrison, and were attacked by the Indians on their return and the rest of them were killed-applicant was then marched out under Major Wales, immediately after this news was received against said Indians and they succeeded in driving the Indians and then succeeded in bringing in the remainder of the party then at said garrison-the name of which applicant cannot now recollect--this skirmish took place.

some time during the fall, following the commencement of applicants services as aforesaid--he was kept in the service as aforesaid until some time during the winter following when he was discharged by Captain Bruce and suffered to return home; applicant thinks that it was in December of 1781, that he was discharged as aforesaid.--he received no written discharge,; neither has he ever received any compensation for his services aforesaid--Applicant on a second reflection thinks that it was later than December when he was so discharged he volunteered as aforesaid for a nine months Term, and he remained his time out fully, before he was discharged as aforesaid.
Applicant believes, that he was born in the year 1760-in the month of August of that year--he has no written Record of his age--he was born in Lancaster County Pennsylvania--he resided in Washington County Pa. when he so as aforesaid entered the service of the United States--he had lived there better than three years previous to his going as a volunteer, as aforesaid--after the revolution applicant removed near Hagerstown Maryland--he then resided a while about Winchester Virginia--he went back after this to Washington County Pa and from thence to the County of Butler in the state or Ohio where he now resides, and has resided for the last fourteen years--Applicant states that he has no documentary evidence of his services and that he knows of no person in this country, whose testimony he can procure who can testify to his services--
Applicant states that he is personally known to Robert B Millikin Jacob Mitcheler his Hon. Daniel Millikin one of the Judges of Butler Com pleas Court and others in his neighbourhood and who can testify, as he believes, to his character for truth and veracity, and their belief of his services as a soldier of the Revolution.
He hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension or annuity, except the present, and declares that his name is not on the pension roll of the agency of any state. Isaac  his O mark  Hull

___________________________________________

                      EXPLANATORY NOTES.
QUERE V.  In a case where the applicant cannot, by reason of the loss of memory, state precisely how long he served, he should amend his declaration by making an affidavit in the following words: "Personally appeared before me, the undersigned, a Justice of the Peace, &c. A. B. who, being duly sworn, deposeth and saith, that, by reason of old age, and the consequent loss of memory, he cannot swear positively as to the precise length of his service, but according to the best of his recollection he served not less than the periods mentioned below, and in the following grades:  For _____ year _____ months and _____ days, I served as a ______. For _____ months and ______ days, I served as a _______; and for such service I claim a pension."
Page 13

                                   3
   It is important in all cases to determine with precision the period for which the applicant served, and the particular rank he held, as the law directs the pension to be paid according to the grade of the pensioner and the length of his service.  The use of the phrase about three or four months is too indefinite, and all such qualifying expressions are objectionable.

QUERE XIV.  Proof of Service.
   In a case where the name of the applicant is not found on the records of the Department, he must prove his service by two credible witnesses, who are required to set forth in their affidavits the time of the claimants entering the service, and the time and manner of his leaving the same, as well as the regiment, company, and line to which he belonged.  The magistrate who may administer the oaths must certify to the credibility of the witnesses, and the affidavits must be properly authenticated, as above directed.

QUERE XVI.  Mode of authenticating papers.
   In every instance where the certificate of the certifying officer who authenticated the papers is not written on the same sheet of paper which contains the affidavit, or other paper authenticated, the certificate must be attached thereto by a piece of tape or narrow ribbon, the end of which must pass under the seal of office of the certifying officer, so as to prevent any paper from being improperly attached to the certificate.

Dear Sir: -
Wanted: Pension record of Isaac Hull.
In a list of Revolutionary Pensioners residing
in Ohio, by William Holden, (1897), Isaac Hull is credited as living in Butler County, Ohio in1832, and another Isaac Hull as living in Scioto County in 1832.

This is verified by the Pension Roll of 1835,
Volume III, p. 159.
I would like to have the record of each of these persons.

Very truly yours,
Oral Monnette
