On this 8th day of November 1832 personally appeared in open court, before James H Wells, Levy Y Millspaugh and Walker Bourne Justices of and constituting the county court of Montgomery County now sitting being a court of record Shadrach Hiatt, a citizen of Kentucky and a resident of the county aforesaid, aged 83 years on the 15th day at last August, who being first duly sworn according to law, doth, on his oath, make the following declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress passed June 7, 1832. That he entered the service of the United States under the following named officers and served as hereby stated.

In the year 1776, about the first of June of that year, he entered the service of the United States under Capt. Michael Cresap at Old Town in the State of Maryland, that he entered as a volunteer and marched under said engagement in haste to New Youk sound - the regiment commanded by Col. Smallwood, and marched to Long Island - was there under the command of Gen. Sullivan and Gen. Sterling, and was encamped at Brooklyn - that he was in the battle that took place on Long Island, sometime in August 1776 - the Americans were attacked early in the morning by the Hessians who came down the Flatbush road - the British under Clinton came round in the rear and the Americans were forced to retreat - but not until after a pretty severe conflict - a mill found and marsh lay in way - this applicant retreated through the water and saw some of the men stick in the mud and were killed - he made his way to camp although in the action he had received a wound in the leg from a musket ball - a large portion of his company was killed or taken prisoners: after the heat of the battle, Gen Washington arrived with a reinforcement. The American army retreated in
Page 8

the night across East River to New York - that he continued in said service until about the last of November 1776 when he received his discharge, given he thinks by Gen Washington, but which is lost - and returned home to what was called the Turkey Foot settlement in the Allegany Mountains in the state of Maryland.

And that about the first of May in the year 1777 this applicant enlisted in the Turkey Foot settlement in the state of Maryland under Capt. David Noble, into the service of the United States for the term of three years: and after he had entered the service of the U.S. under this engagement he being a Black Smith he was attached by his commanding officer to a pack horse company to shoe the horses, which belonged to the United States and were branded "U.S."- this applicant shod the horses - the shoes and nails being furnished by the government, readymade; At that time the pack horse service was carried on by the United States directly but afterwards, as this applicant understands, the system was changed and that service was [illegible] let out by the government to contractors. This applicant was so employed not under any contract but by the command of his officer under his regular enlistment, and never received any compensation that they packed provisions for the army from the eastern side of the mountains to the new store in the fork of the Youghiogheny and Monongahela rivers and to Pittsburg - Capt. Carnahan, Capt. Cormack, Capt, Mark Handrie and Capt. Whitesides each commanded what was called a brigade of horses - that he was engaged shoeing the horses for this service for near eighteen months: that he was subsequently in the regular army and served against the common enemy until some time in the early part of the year 1779 -w hen from extreme exposure and fatigue he was afflicted with a gathering in his head and an almost entire
Page 9

The Court then prepared the interrogatories presented by the War Department to which generally the applicant answers:

1st - Born in St Mary's County, state of Maryland on the 15th day of August in the year 1749
2nd - I have no record of my age; my father had a record of it but I have not seen it for many years.
3rd - When called into service, I was living in the Turkey Foot settlement in the state of Maryland about 30 years since I moved from there to the state of Kentucky - I then moved to Indiana but in a few years moved to Kentucky again and reside at present in Montgomery County in the state of Kentucky
4th - The first tour I volunteered, the second I enlisted
5th - Col. Smallwood, Gen. Washington, Gen. Sterling, Gen. Sullivan and Capt. Noble. The general circumstances of service the court has heard now in my declaration
6th - I received a discharge from each service; the first given, I think, by Gen. Washington - the second was given to me by Capt. Noble, but why whom signed I cannot say positively.
7th - I refer that Maj. Charles Glover, Walker Bourne, Esq, Bengamin Jones, William Nelson, Thomas Moseley Esq., Clement Conner Esq. and the Hon. Henry Daniel his representative in Congress who can testify to my character

And the said court do hereby declare their opinion after the investigations of the matter and after putting the interrogatories prescribed
Page 10

loss of hearing and without any application on his part, his commanding officers gave him a discharge - even before the expiration of the 3 years for which he had enlisted; he received said discharge in Berkley County in the state of Virginia - he recollects that it was handed to him by Capt. Noble; but cannot say whether it was signed by Noble or some other officer; the discharge being lost. He knows of no witness living by whom he can prove his services. That he is upwards of 83 years of age and about 30 years since moved to the state of Kentucky and at present resided in Montgomery County thereof.

He hereby relinquishes any claim whatever to a pension or annuity except the present and declares that his name is not on the pension roll of the agency of any state.

Dear Madam:

Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary war record of Shadrach Hiatt of Maryland, also, that of Meshack Hiatt who took the oath March 5, `776 in that state.

There is no claim for pension or bounty land on file which was made to the United States based upon service in that war of a Meshack hiatt. The record of Shadrach Hiatt is given as follows: the data was obtained from the papers on file in his claim for pension, S.13361, based upon his service in the Revolutionary War.

Shadrach Hiatt was born August 15, 1749 in Saint Mary's County, Maryland; the names of his parents were not given.

While a resident of the Turkey feet Settlement in the Allegheny Mountains in Maryland, he enlisted June 1, 1776, served as a private in Captain Michael Cresop's company, Colonel Smallwood's Maryland regiment, was in the battle of Long Island in which he received a musket ball wound in his leg, and was discharged the last of November 1776. He enlisted May 1, 1777, and served under Captain David Noble in the Maryland troops until early in 1779, nearly eighteen months of which service was as a blacksmith in the packhorse brigade.

Shadrach Hiatt was allowed pension on his application executed November 9, 1835, at which time he resided in Montgomery County, Kentucky. He died March 9, [illegible].

There are no data regarding the family of this soldier.

When you reply to my letter of the 14inst, will you not please state, also, the name of the place from which you received the notice of Shadrach Hiatt's death. The place of his death is in dispute, and hampers my researches immeasurably. 

I dislike to trouble you so much, but I am so near closing the last link in a chain of eight generations and your knowledge of this post is so much more reliable than any other. 

Please bear with me a little further knowing that you are reaping my deepest gratitude.

Chicago, Ills. 

Madam: 
In reply to your letter dated the 13th and received the 16th instant, relative to Shamrock Hiatt, Sur. File 13,361, Rev. War, you are advised that in his application for pension executed November 8, 1832, he made the following statement, "I was born in St. Marys County, Maryland, and when called into service I was living in the Turkey-foot settlement, Maryland: about thirty years since I moved from there to the State of Kentucky, -I then moved to Indiana; but in a few years moved to Kentucky again, and reside at present in Montgomery County, Kentucky."

Soldier's address is unknown, as his Certificate was sent to the Hon. H. Daniel, Washington, D. C., Member of Congress from Kentucky, and the pension made payable at the Louisville Kentucky, Agency from March 4, 1831. 

The Revolutionary War records fail to show that a bounty land was ever granted to Shamrock Hiatt (Hyatt), and no one would be entitled to land on account of Revolutionary War service except the widow of such a soldier or a child who was under 21 years of on March 3, 1855. 

Very respectfully, 
J.L. Davenport
Commissioner
