1 Original Clame [Claim]

Declaration in order to be placed on the Pension List under
the Act of 18th March, 1818.

County of [Oswego] ss} On this fifth day of February 1828
personally appeared in open court viz
the common pleas in and for the County
of Oswego. Barnet Mooney resident in said County aged
68 years if he should live to the 16th of this instant who being
first duly sworn, according to law, doth on his oath, make
the following declaration, in order to obtain the provision
made by the acts of Congress, of the 18th March, 1818, and the
1st of May, 1820, that he the said Barnet Mooney enlisted
for the term of the war on or near the first of Feb in the
year 1777 in the State of New Jersey, and in the Company
Commanded by Capt Lyon, in the Regiment commanded
by Collenel [Colonel] Spencer wich [which] was one of the sixteen
Regements [Regiments] recommend by Congress, after the [illegible]
of the several states was compleated [completed] and it was on the
Contineltan [continental] establishment; that he continued to
serve in various corps until the end of the revolutionary
War. When he was discharged from the service at the contimment [cantonment?]
near the town of Newbury County of Orange and
State of New York on the 5th of June 1783; the two last
years he served as Sergent [Sergeant] Major in the New Jersey
battallion [battalion] and receved [received] the badges of merit for six
years fathfull [faithful] Service, that he herby relinquishes every
clame [claim] whatever to a pension except the present, that
Page 4

2
his name is not on the roll of any state, except that
of New Jersey; and that the following are the reasons for
not making earlier application for a pension:

Untill about 5 or 6 years last passed [past] by close economy I was
enabled to support my family; my wife Charlotte Mooney
about that time became delereous [delirious] and totally unable
to help herself even as to dressing or taking her fude
nearly the same time my daughter Susanah
Vanwagenen was left a poor widow with a number
of small children; these occurrences greatly
increased my expenses, these with other occurrences
herein after mentioned induced me to prepare a
petition to Congress the last session praying for
ade the petition shared the fate of others of similar
cast; these are the principle reasons for not
making this application before and wich
has induced me now to make it.

And in the pursuance of the act of 1st May, 1820
I do sollemnly sware, 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
Page 5

myself within the provisions of an act of Congress, entitled
"an Act to provide for certain persons engaged in the land
and naval services 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
securityis [securities], contracts, or debts due to me; nor have I any
income, other than what is contained in the schedule
hereunto anexed [annexed], and by me subscribed. That since
the 18th of March, 1818, the following changes have been
made in my property. The a/c of changes in property before
