In 1820 or 1821 an old revolutionary soldier who lives four miles from this place in Order to obtain a pension under the laws of Congress, had his declaration & schedule made out & Qualified to it (his name is Joseph Barlow) it was sent on to the War Office. & returned rejected for want of proof of the services (Mr. Barlow thought for a while he could not find Witnesses to prove his services & he being old infirm & very poor was unable to search for any of his old comrades in the revolutionary struggle. at length his necessities increased & his prospects for a support became more gloomy. he was Compelled to look onto & by diligent enquiry a year or so ago heard of two of his old Comrades. One in Indiana & one in the State of Ohio - lame & decrepid as he is, he put up on foot & after a week or two he returned with the deposition of his Indiana witness - he rested several months & by his [illegible] relations he raised funds &c Sufficient

and then on foot he went to his state of Ohio & procured the other deposition proving his services. his papers were put into the hands of Abner Gaines who was going on the City of Washington. he carried them & put them in the War office in Oct last upon examination his papers were rejected again. Mr. Gaines says it was because the Regt in which Barlow served was not in the Continental service - But in the service of the state of Va It is Mr Barlows wish for you to examine his papers in the war Office & have him put on the pension roll if possible - if not he certainly is entitled to pay from Va or at least to some of the Va bounty land in Ohio..
