  Pennsylvania Washington County-


 On this 4th day of October, 1832, personally appeared in open court before the Judges of the Court of Common Pleas in & for the County aforesaid Samuel Logan a resident of Cecil township County & state aforesaid aged about seventy three years who being first duly sworn according to law, doth on his oath make the following declaration, in order to obtain the benefit 7th Act of Congress passed June 7, 1832.

That he entered the service of the United States, under the following named officers & served as herein stated.

In the month of June in 1780[?] I volunteered under Capt Hubby & marched from Lancaster Co. Pennsylvania to Philadelphia & then to Morristown New Jersey. At this place I was put under Capt Henderson in Col Butlerrs regiment of the Pennsylvania line. We then crossed over the North River under the command of Col Butler, after we come at Hemps Ferry, there was a regiment of light infantry, taken out of the Pennsylvania line & placed under the command of Genl La Fayette. Of this regiment I formed one in Capt Beatty Company, & marched along the lines between Breyer Point & New York & continued so during the summer. In the month of October we were marched back to Morristown, placed in our former regiment under Col Butler.
We continue then in the huts in winter quarters, till the Pennsylvania line revolted & in January we were discharged, by Major Mc Gowan, after a service of seven months, & then returned home to Lancaster Co. Pa. 
In the year 1777 I was drafted under Capt Joshua Anderson, & Lieutenant Reed & marched from Lancaster Co. Pa. to Wilmington Delaware & then to Brandywine where we met the American army under the command of Genl Washington, La Fayette, Wayne & Green & Sullivan. I was at & in the battle of Brandywine, we were defeated. The night of the battle, we retreated with the army to Chester, & in a few days we came to Schuylkill river & laid alone Philadelphia & then returned home after an absence two months. In the fall of this same year. I went out as a substitute for John Patterson, under Capt Joseph Allison.

King & Robert Johnson an ensign & marched to Darby creek. [?] where Philadelphia employed in guarding the lines, & was discharged after a service of two months. 
I was also in the Battle of Germantown, which I omitted to state in the proper place. I serve all eleven months. I was born in the year 1760, in the County Tyrone in the Kingdom of Ireland. I do not know that I have any record of my age.
When I first entered the service. I lived in Lancaster Co. Pa. & have lived in Washington County Pa since the year 1785. I volunteered & was drafted & was a substitute. The name of Regular Officers, I have already stated, & I am not able to state any of the names of the continental regiments. I received a written discharge for the seven months service, from Major McGowan, but I have since lost it. I am well known by Jon Philips, Craig Ritcher, John Watson, Richard Johnston, James Moore who can even testify to my character for veracity, & who believe that I am a soldier of the revolution.
I know of now surviving witness except Robert Johnston, who can testify to a portion of my services. I hereby relinquish every claim whatsoever t& a pension or annuity except the present, & declare that his name is not on the pension roll of agency of any state. He further saith that from the faults of his memory he has not been able to state the services just as they have happened.

Sworn to & subscribed this

  I write again asking for some Revolutionary data.
  Since writing you I have received word from the State Library Pa. from the custodian of public records that for the sum of one dollar - made necessary by Act of Gen. Assembly -they furnish me a certificate showing the Samuel Logan was a soldier of the Rev. but I write again to ask if you have any record. I think he would be in the same company as Geo. Robinson- whose daughter Margaret was his wife- or of the Jonathan Robinson whose record you sent me, the latter being a brother of Margaret Robinson hence a brother in law of Samuel Logan.
  Also the Archibald Brown of whom I speak was born in Connaught Co Ireland and there married Jane Terris and then came to this country
Page 26

and settled in York district South Carolina but latter came to Ky and after a residence of fifteen years in Bourbon Ky he moved to near Carlisle in Nicholas Co where he died at the age of 96 yrs.
  Any information that you can give me will be appreciated -

  Respectfully
