Declaration
In order to obtain the benefit of the Act of Congress passed June 7th 1832
State of Ohio
Stark County }ss.
Court of Common Pleas November Term 1835

On this ninth day of November 1835 personally appeared in open court before the Judges of the Court of Common Pleas of said county, now sitting, Asa Woolley, a resident in the township of Atwater in the County of Portage and State of Ohio aged seventy five years, 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 7th 1832.
That he was born on the 26 day of October 1760 in the township of Salsbury in the County of Monmouth and State of New Jersey.  That in the year 1776 British ships hovered on the coasts of N.J. and the militia of N.J. were called out by the governor to protect the salt works and other property on the shores from Sandy Hook to Elizabethtown, and this declarant in the month of June 1776 volunteered as a minute man being in his sixteenth year and living in said county of Monmouth.  The name of his colonel was William Hendrickson and officer of the militia.  The name of his captain was Richard McKnight.  The names of the other officers of his company have escaped the memory of this declarant.  His duty was to guard the coasts in the day time and to patrol during the night.  He continued in this service under Capt. McKnight six months.  The British frequently landed in small parties and this deponent was in several skirmishes with them.  The British privateers kept the militia busy from Sandy Hook to Elizabeth.  This deponent would mention that he served during this six months about fifteen days under Captain John Dennis.
In the year 1780 as nearly as this deponent can recollect
Page 4

he served one month under Captain Daniel Warren being stationed at Elizabethtown.  He recollects that in this time, the British landed and killed the Rev. Mr. Caldwell at the door of his house, shot his wife in her own house and burned the meeting house.
That therefore this deponent was in the service of his country as a private soldier seven months during the war of the revolution, that he was under arms and in active service all that time; that he suffered much from cold, his feet were frozen & his eyes much injured so much so that he has not been able to read for seven years, the injury arose from the flash of his gun when fighting the enemy.  That he was dismissed till further orders, that therefore he had no regular discharge.
That after the war, he lived in Salsbury and Morristown H. J. till 1791 in the mean time took three or four voyages to the West Indies.  Afterward this deponent moved to the County of Onondaga in the State of New York and lived there seventeen years.  He afterward moved to the county of Ashtabula Ohio, from that county he went Stark County, Ohio, and lastly to Portage County, Ohio having lived in the State of Ohio eleven years next, preceding this application & nine years of which in Stark Co. 
That he has not in his possession or subject to his control any documentary evidence of his said service; and that he knows of no person whose testimony he can procure who can testify to his service.
He hereby relinquishes every claim whatsoever to a pension or annuity except the present; and declares that his is not on the pension roll of the agency of any state.  
The court propounded the following interrogatories to which the following answers were returned:
1.  Where and in what year were you born?
Answer: I was born in the township of Salisbury in the County
Page 5

of Monmouth and state of New Jersey on the 26th day of October in the year 1760.
2.  Have you any record of your age, and if so, where is it?
Answer.  I have none in my possession; but my birth was recorded in my father's Bible; where this Bible is, I do not know. 
3.  Where were you living when called into service? Where have you lived since the revolutionary war, and where do you now live?
How were you called into service; were you drafted did you volunteer, or were you a substitute?  And if a substitute, for whom?
Answer.  I lived in Salisbury township in the county of Monmouth & State of N. J.  I went to sea & was engaged as a sailor about four years; lived in New Jersey till 1791, afterward in New York State seventeen years, and lastly in Ohio eleven years where I now live in the township of Atwater, County of Portage, and State of Ohio where I have lived about two years.  I volunteered as a private soldier.
5.  State the names of some of the Regular Officers who were with the troops where you served; such continental and militia regiments as you can recollect and the general circumstances of your service.
Answer.  AS I have stated in my declaration, my Colonel was William Hendrickson.  I served under three captains viz.  Capts, Richard McKnight, John Dennis, and Daniel Warren.  My company belonged to a militia regiment,  I served as a minute man to guard the sea coasts by day and night.  My service was hard, and active.  I was in no regular battle, but in several skirmishes with the British as they landed from their ships.  I refer the Hon Court to my declaration for more particulars.
Page 6

6.  Did you ever receive a discharge from the service and if so, by whom was it given and what has become of it?
Answer.  I never received a discharge.  I was only dismissed till further orders.
7.  State the names of the persons to whom you are known in your present neighborhood and who can testify as to your character for veracity and their belief of your services as a soldier of the Revolution.  And is there any clergyman in your neighborhood of regular standing?

Sir, I herewith send you the declaration of Asa Woolley an aged applicant for a pension, who is poor and feeble.  He lives in Portage Co. O. which adjoins this on the north, but he makes his declaration before the court of this county (Stark) because his witnesses live or lived in this county.  Abraham Knotts of Carroll Co Rose Tp, one of the witnesses lived in Stark Co. when Rose Tp formed a part of said Stark County, when the applicant Wooley was acquainted with him.  John Rickey lives in Stark Co. Since Pittsburgh Pa is the most convenient place, it would be a kindness to the applicant if the Department would permit him to draw his pension from an agent in that place.
I remain with much respect

Madam:
I have to advise you that from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, R. 11849, it appears that Asa Wooley or Woolley was born October 26, 1760, in Salisbury, Monmouth County, New Jersey.
He alleged that while a resident of said place he enlisted in June 1776, and served at various times until sometime in 1780, amount to about seven months in all, as a private with the New Jersey troops under Captains John Dennis, James Green, Richard McKnight and Daniel Warren, and Colonels Stephen Fleming and William Hendrickson; he was in several skirmishes with the British.
He applied for pension September 22, 1834, at which time he was living at Atwater, Portage County, Ohio, but his claim was not allowed as he failed to furnish proof of services as required by the pension laws.
He died December 1, 1841.
He married in April, 1790, Catherine (her maiden name not stated) who was born March 27, 1770.  In 1854 she was living at Atwater, Ohio.  She died there in 1854 or 1855.

The claim of Catharine Wooley widow of Asa of Kentucky under Act 7th July 1838 has been re-examined. 
Asa in his declaration asserted certain services in the New Jersey militia in the war of the revolution but failed to prove them by testimony of any kind.  His widow should apply to the Secretary of State of New Jersey for such proof as he may have.  The date of the marriage of Asa and Catharine, and of Asa's death have not been proved.  The original record of the ages of the children must be sent to this office.

Dear Sir:
I address this letter to you for the purposes of ascertaining the amount of pension money that has been paid to the heirs of Asa Wooly & Catharine Wooley, his wife, he being a soldier of the Revolution & of the war of 1812 as I am told.  This money has been drawn by Stephen Wooley or his attorney David Burden I understand between the years 1856 & 1862 to the
Page 23

prejudice of the other heirs who have not recd one cent of said pension money, many of whom are very poor and in straightened circumstances.  
I would therefore like to have you send to me as their attorney a copy of the record showing when, to whom, and how said money was paid, that the crooked paths may be made straight ad whereby these heirs that are very poor may receive their just proportion of the money due them as the legal representatives of Asa and Catharine Wooley.
I will remit all necessary expense upon receipt of notice from you.
Please let me hear from you soon.

Dear Sir
I received your favor of the April 4th 1834 and I confess I scarcely understand form your decision how the matter stands.  You state that Asa Wooley failed to show that he served six months by any kind of proof. It's not known that there is any hint of proof of few except the declaration but you notice I brought claims [illegible] of  [illegible] of several years I would be glad to know whether the name of Asa Woolley is to be found on record with you as a solider and if so, how long they showed or served for I presume it is impossible to have the service by anyone living in [illegible] you will receive additional evidence (that can be obtain in the strongest form).  I can prove the man's age and the identity death and that he was considered one of the perminate soldier in the [illegible] and that he served for [illegible] as was all very [illegible] and that he was enlisted in that there could not be a reasonable doubt of his service.
Please answer and let me know what I have got to prove to sustain the claim and what form of testimony is good or will answer for the evidence to draw [illegible] if the [illegible] and better testimony can't be reached.  The widow is poor and needs her rites in the claim and if I am correct by adviser in this case she is entitled to enough to support her in time to come.  I would like to know how long whereas she [illegible] viz the evidence has five letters all set forth that they think he was entitled from the records showing him to be a soldier of the revolution and offering to get it for a certain portion or percent.

The declaration of Asa Wooley has been ex'd.  The service alleged to have been performed under an engagement for six months as a militia man of New Jersey does not agree with the facts as it regards the course of service in that state.  The New Jersey militia was called out to serve for short tours under one engagement.  The applicant could not therefore have served so much as six months, the length of time required by the act of 7 June 1832 to entitle him to a pension.  A pension cannot therefore be allowed.  The papers have been placed on file in this office.
