State of Ohio Muskingum County Ss. Court of Common Pleas.
On this 19th April 1826 personally appeared in open Court, being a Court of record for
the State and county aforesaid, Paul Hahn, 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 provisions made by the acts of Congress of the 18th of March 1818, and 
of the 1st of May 1820; that he the said Paul Hahn, was commissioned as a 
captain by the Executive of the State of Maryland, and commanded a company
belonging to the corps then called "the upper Battalion of Baltimore county," be-
longing to the continental establishment; the regiment to which said Battalion be-
longed, was commanded by one Col. Thomas Guess, or Gest; that his commission
bears date the 5th of November 1781, signed by Thos. S. Lee, and is now in his possession
that he continued to serve in said corps, from the date of his commission to the end
of the war; that he was stationed in the fort at Baltimore during the whole time
of his service, that he is now very infirm and is almost blind, and that he has no
other evidence of his service now in his power.

And in pursuance of the act of the 1st of 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 so 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 land and Naval 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 other income other than what is contained on the schedule hereunto annexed
and by me subscribed.
Sworn to in open Court.
