Court of Common Pleas of the Term of April  1824.
Be it Remembered that on this Sixth day of April in the year
of Our Lord One thousand eight hundred and Twenty four personally appeared Amos Stackhouse in Open Court here being a Court of record and the Court of
Common pleas of said County of Coshockton, who being duly sworn according to
Law doth on order to obtain a continuance on the pension list of the United States
as one of the Revolutionary soldiers, further say in addition to his former
declaration that he has not disposed of any part of his property in any way or
manner whatever since the 18th day of March 1818 Other than what is herein
after stated to wit On the 24th day of March 1819 he owned One hundred Acres
of land in said County of Coshockton being his bounty land for his revolutionary services
On which he had made a small improvement of about thirty acres of cleared land
which from age and infirmity he found himself unable to work or mange and too
poor and small to Justify hiring a hand to attend it that on the date last
aforesaid he made a contract with One Skinner Bloomfield by which
he agreed to convey said land to said Bloomfield in fee, and said Bloomfield is 
to work and attend the same and to give him the one third of all he
raised on said land, and to permit him to enjoy the use of the house, yard and
Garden and two Acres of Meadow during his this deponents natural life - that
he soon found said Bloomfield to be unfaithful, lazy and indolent, and
not working or managing the said land to any advantage whereby he was receiving
Scarce any support from it, that he then endevared to prevail on One Charles Gaskill to purchase said Bloomfields right to said land that he and said Gaskill
Page 16

did agree that he this deponent should purchase back of Bloomfield
and that he Gaskill would take it off his hands, that he this deponent
did purchase said Bloomfields right or interest therein for which he agreed
to pay said Bloomfield the sum of Seventy five Dollars, and did on the
thirteenth day of January 1822 Enter into writings with said Gaskill for the
sale of said land and made said Gaskill a deed for said land and took an
article of agreement for said Gaskill a copy of which is herewith to be
forwarded to the Secretary of War, by which it will be seen that said Gaskill
was to pay this deponent the sum of Seventy five dollars within two years
from that date that being the amount this deponent was to pay to Bloomfield 
to obtain it back from him that said Gaskill has since given his own notes
to Bloomfield for said Seventy five dollars in discharge of that part of said article
and has lifted this deponents notes, of the said Bloomfeld, Whereby the said Seventy
five Dollars mentioned in the Article with Gaskill is now to be paid by
said Gaskill to said Bloomfield and not to this deponent as specified in said article
And that all that is now comming to this deponent for said land is the one third
of What is raised thereon by the said Gaskill [illegible] as stated in said Article
the Value of Which has been set forth in this deponents original application
for Continuance On the pension list. This deponent further States that he has
not a Copy of the Original agreement made by him with Bloomfield that
being destroyed When he bought it back so that he cannot send a copy of
it to the War Office. This deponent further States that the residue of his property which he has disposed of so far as his recollection serves him is a weavers loom
sold for the Sum of $10.00 to pay for weaving for his family, two
hogs and ten bushels of potatoes the proceeds of which were applied to the
Page 17

use of his family and also two hogs since the time of his making his application
for a continuance on the pension list the Value of which was included in
his Schedule then exhibited and which he sold to get salt for his family
This deponent further states that he was ignorant of any law having passed
On the subject since the act of the 1st May 1820, and still is ignorant of the Contents of the law of the 1st of March 1823 and that the reason why he did not
exhibit a schedule of his property prior to the passage of the law of the 1st March
1823, was because his neighbors told him and he believed untill lately that
in as much as he had an income during his life from his land he could not
obtain a pention under the law of the 1st of May 1820, and that belief alone
was the cause of his delaying his application under that law

he continued to serve in said company until the Battle of Brandywine, when Capt.

except the present; that his name has been placed on the pension list; that the number of his pension certificate is 6856, and that he never before Exhibited a schedule of his property, because he was of Oppinion that as he had a small income from his military bounty land, he could not under the act of 1st May 1820, obtain a continuance on the pension list, believing that under that law, a man must be destitute of nearly every thing, and that he has not done it now untill his health has become so impaired, as well as that of his wife who is now sixty six years old as to disable him and her, who alone constitute his family,

The expence of bringing [illegible] to this town by the [illegible] is 5. -/6 six cents p bushell. Mr. Stackhouse is very poor [underlined] & in debt. His neighbors have trusted him and I am informed ( & do not doubt in) in expectation of his being able to obtain a pension. 

These depositions have been mislaid or you would have had them before; Please write me as soon as you have determined his fate.

I am respectfully your humble Servt., Seth Adams

Dear Sir

Amos Stackhouse an old revolutionary soldier has traveled about fifty miles to get me to write to you on the subject of his application to be re placed on the pension List. I understand the difficulty is that he has not accounted satisfactorily for the disposition of his land. The account he has given is undoubtedly the truth and that need [illegible] and not fraud induced him to do it and I am induced to believe it was a favorable couterart for Stackhouse although the neet proceeds do not amount to more than ten or twelve dollars a year. I have seen a deposition of James Miskimmin which will be forwarded to you he is a man who I have long been acquaint with and the most [illegible] confidence may placed in his statement I wish you to take the trouble to examine the papers your self and if his case can be brought within the law that you will reinstate him on the list as I believe him to be very deserving and one of the objects the law contemplated 

Yours very respectfully
