The state of Ohio Adams County

On this 13th day of November 1822 personally appeared in open court being a court of record having the power of fine & imprisonment for the county aforesaid William Carrol aged 66 years resident in the county of Adams in the State of Ohio who being first duly sworn according to law doth on his oath declare that he served in the Revolutionary war in the company commanded by Captain Ennos Campbell of the Regiment commanded by Colonel Charles Griffin in the line of the State of Maryland on continental establishment. That his original declaration is dated on the 9th day of November 1822 that he has not had a pension and therefore cannot give the number of a pension certificate.

And I do solemnly swear that I was a resident citizen of the United States on the 18th day of March 1818; and that I have not since that time by gift sale or in any manner disposed of my property or any part thereof with intent thereby so to diminish it as to bring myself within the provisions of an act of congress entitled "An act to provide for certain persons engaged in the land and naval service of the United States, in the revolutionary war" passed on the 18th day of March 1818 and that I have not nor has any person in trust for me any property or securities, contracts or debts due to me nor have I any income other than what is contained in the schedule hereto annexed and by me subscribed.

The data which follow were obtained from the papers on file in Revolutionary War pension claim, S. 2107, based upon the military service of William Carrol or Carel in that war. 
William Carroll or Carel was born in November, 1757.  The place of his birth and the names of his parents are not shown. 
While residing in Frederick County, Maryland, he enlisted July 8, 1776, served as a private in Captain Aeneas Campbell's Company, Colonel Charles Griffin's (probably meant for Colonel Charles Greenberry Griffith) Maryland Regiment of the Flying Camp; marched to New York, thence White Plains, was in the battle at the latter place; then went to Fort Lee and then to Fort Washington; went out on a detached party under Captain Hartman to York Island for the defense of Fort Washington, was taken prisoner on November 16, 1776 , carried to New York and held as a prisoner of war for fourteen weeks in the Sugar House, when he was released on parole. 
In 1822, he was a resident of Adams County, Ohio.
He was allowed pension on his application executed August 8, 19382, while residing in Baccoon Township, Gallia County, Ohio.
In 1832, one George Carel was resident of Morgan County, Ohio: no relationship to the soldier shown.

Dear Sirs:
I wish to know more of William Carroll, my mother's father's mother's father, and find it impossible unless I can receive additional statements from the pension office and will greatly appreciate any reply given as I am trying to form a little family genealogy and ask the following:
1. Do records tell where Wm. Carroll was from?
2. Do records tell anything of his parents.
3. Did records show that he received his pension in the neighborhood of Charlestown, W. Va. in the years near 1789.
4. What is said on records of his being wounded and in what battle.
[End of letter page]
Page 26

[Letter continued from previous page]
5. Do records show the maiden name of his wife to have been Fees?
Our tradition says he served in the war of 1812 and it is possible that his pension was granted for wound[s] in that war instead of service in Rev.
He enlisted Mch 20 - 1777 to Jan 20 - 1779.

Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the records of William Carroll, who was a cousin of Charles Carroll, of Carrollton, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, said William Carroll having died in Hancock County, Ohio, in 1844; John Neafie or Nefie, who served in the New Jersey Troops; and John Dixon (Disxon), of either Massachusetts or Connecticut. 
A careful search of the Revolutionary War records has been made and no record found of a claim for pension or bounty land having been made to the United States based upon the military service in that war of John Dixon or Dixson, of Massachusetts or of John Neafie or similar spelling.
As a means of identifying the particular record of the John Dixon or Dixson, of Connecticut, in which you are interested, should it be on file, it is essential that you furnish as much as possible of the following dates: approximate dates of birth and death, places of residence at enlistment and after service and, if possible, the given name of widow. It will expedite the matter if you will return this letter with your reply.
The record of a William Carrol has been found and is furnished you herewith.
Very truly yours
A. D. HILLER
Executive Assistant to the Administrator.
