[To accompany bill H.R.No. 316.]
FEBRUARY 10, 1836.
Mr. STORER, from the Committee on Revolutionary Pensions, made the
following
REPORT:
The Committee on Revolutionary Pensions, to which was referred the application of John Logan for a pension ask leave to report:
The petitioner applied to the War Department in June, 1818, and made
a declaration of his claim, as a revolutionary soldier, and afterwards, in
consequence of his papers being mislaid, he made another application,
which, together with the first, the same having in the mean while been
found, were rejected in 1820, for the want of evidence to sustain them,
satisfactory to the Secretary of War. The petitioner being wearied by his want
of success, took no further steps to obtain his pension, until the law
of 1832 was passed, since which he has applied again, and has again been
suspended, or in other words denied his prayer.
The committee find the clearest proof of the following facts: that the
petitioner is now very aged, more than eighty years old; that he is helpless,
and is supported by public charity. That he bears, and has always borne,
an unexceptionable character for truth, and that his statements as to his
service, and time of service, though not sustained in every particular,
by corroborating testimony, yet that the main facts he alleges are: they
are satisfied, from the evidences he served at least for the term of nine
months, and that he is for that service, entitled to receive a pension. They
therefore report a bill, and ask to be discharged from the further consideration
of the case.

on this 15th day of September 1826
Personally appeared in open Court being a Court of Record expressly made such by the Laws of this State John Logan resident in said County aged eighty years who being
first duly sworn according to Law doth on his oath make the following declaration in order to obtain the provisions made by the acts of Congress of 18th March 1818 and May1st 1820 that he the said Logan enlisted for
the term of during the war in the Summer of 1776 in the State of Virginia in the company commanded by John Willson in the Regiment commanded by Enos  McKay Col & Lt Col George Willson and Major Richard Butler in the line of the State of Pennsylvania the Continental establishment
that he continued to serve in Corps untill {until} the death of both Colonels and resignation of Capt Willson in the fall of 1777 when Major Butler ordered said Logan from {illegible} on extra duty to Philadelphia to be employed in a factory of {illegible} then in operation in said City as said Logan is a gun Smith by trade but as the City was soon thereafter evacuated to avoid the enemy and all factories broken up said Logan was dismissed by a written furlough or Parole made by Butler Superintendant of the armory of our aid untill  {until}further orders which orders he never afterwards recd till the close of said War, that he never
was discharged otherwise than by the Parole or furlough above mentioned which with all the papers in his possession relative to his enlistment
Page 8

and service were unavoidably destroyed by fire in the fall of 1779. That he hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension except the present, that
his name is not on the roll of any State and that the following are the reasons for not making earlier application for a pension( viz)
A subsistance is all he required and he did well hope to obtain renumeration for his services in the Revolutionary war and for property
entered into said service for which he never received any compensation amounting together to about $420 and
which claim he has been endeavoring for several years to establish
but having failed has at last resolved to apply
for a pension and in pursuance of the act of the 1st May 1820.  I do solemnly swear that I was a resident citizen of the United States on the 18th 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 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 service of the United States in the Revolutionary War passed on the  18th 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 nor any property real or personal to make a schedule of and that since the 18th March 1818 no changes have taken place in my property and that I have no family nor ever had that.
I am a Gun and Blacksmith by trade that
through age and infirmity I have not been
able to follow the same nor to procure any
subsistance thereby since the year 1816 since which

time I have lived amongst and subsisted upon the benevolence of my distant relations.

Before me Benajah Ayres one of the associate Judges of said Court
Personally appeared Joseph McKnight of said
County, who being duly sworn according to law, deposeth and saith, that on or about
the first of June 1818, he, said deponent did write a declaration for John Logan of the
County of Hamilton, in said state, in order to enable said Logan to obtain the benefit of
the act of Congress of the 18th of March 1818 making provision for indigent soldiers
of the revolutionary army. The substance of said declaration was as follows (namely)
that in the month of September 1776, he said John Logan did inlist {enlist} in the eighth Regiment of the Pensylvania  {Pennsylvania} line on the old continental establishment for
during the war said Regiment at that time being organized under command of Col  Enor McCoy Lieut.of George Wilson, and Major Richard Butler, In which Regt.
said Jno {John}Logan did serve as a soldier untill{until} the latter end of the summer or the fall of the year 1777 when he was for some time detached into the artificer department, (being a Black and gun Smith by profession), and so served alternately by turns as a soldier and  an artificer untill {until}
the war ended, but being on furlow {furlough} when the army was disbanded- never thought worth while to seek after a formal discharge-- The above mentioned declaration was believed to have been miscarried or mislaid as no account thereof returned to the applicant or to the Judge who had forwarded the same-
when hopes of reply to the former declaration was given up, a second one was drawn up wrote also by said deponent and sworn to by said John Logan in open court, in the fall of 1820 and forwarded also to the Board of war -sometime afterwards both declarations were returned as rejected, as will appear by the accompanying certifficates {certificates}- deponent also knows that said Logan made
 several subsequent applications to those above mentioned, of whose success or rejection he has never yet heard-- the dates of the last not recollected.
All of which declarations were the same in substance with what is recited above and from deponents personal knowledge of and acquaintance (though young at that time) with the aforesaid John Logan before his inlistment{enlistment}, during his service, and ever
since to the present day; he said deponent doth know that said John Logan's declarations are
substantially true; and that said Logans' character for truth and candor is, and ever has been indisputably fair and unblemished; deponant further saith
that said Logan is now and for some years past hath been incapable of making any further application for himself being almost blind and
intirely {entirely}deaf by reason of old age, and is now a pauper supported by the
Township of Sycamore in the County of Hamilton Ohio. Deponent also declares that at the time that said Logan made his first declaration in the year
1818 he said Logan was then in a state of indigence, residing with and supported
by said deponent, and continued to reside with and depend on deponent for support until l{until} the spring of the year 1831 when deponent
left said County of Hamilton and removed to his present residence in Miami County aforesaid. Some time after which said John Logan was
taken under the care of the Trustees and overseers of the poor of the afforesaid {aforesaid}
township of Sycamore, at whose instance, and special request this present deposition is made. And further said deponent saith not.

I herewith return John Logan's declaration, with John Cocharan's
affidavit, and have to state, that the evidence exhibited, is insufficient to authorise the admission of his claim to a Pension. As the Rolls in this Office, furnish no evidence of his service, the requlations
of this Department require his service to be proven, either by the testimony of an officer under whom he served, or that of
two other credible witnesses, certified to be such, by the magistrate
who may administer the oaths to them. The witnesses must set
forth in their affidavits, the Company, Regiment and Line, to which
the Claimant belonged, and the time of his entering, and the time
and manner of his leaving the service; and the official character
and signature of the Magistrate must be properly authenticated.
