                    At a court continuous and held for Floyd county at the courthouse in [illegible] being on Tuesday, the 23rd  day of May 1826
 William Haney produced in open court the following declaration and schedule in order to obtain a pension as an old Revolutionary Soldier, which is, as followeth, to wit

State of Kentucky
                                           Floyd County  Set.

On this 23rd  day of May 1826 personally appeared in open court, being a court of record, it being made so by the laws of this state and it being solemnly acknowledged to be such by the other tribunals of this state,  William Haney a resident in said County aged 68 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 act of Congress of the 18th of March 1818 and May the 1st 1820.  that he, the said William Haney enlisted for the term of eighteen months on or about the 1st day of May in the year 1780 in Campbell County in the State of Virginia, in the Company commanded by Captain Bowyer in the 7th Virginia Regiment commanded by Col. Campbell in the line of the state of Virginia Infantry or Continental establishment. That he continued to serve in said Corps until about the first of November 1781, when he was discharged from said service at Hillsborough in the state of North Carolina by Col. Campbell.  That he hereby relinquishes every claim whatsoever to a pension except the present, that his name is not on the roll of any state except Kentucky and that the following are the reasons for not making an earlier application for a pension (to wit)   I had lost my discharge and always lived in a Backwoods part of the country where people told me I could not get a pension without I had my discharge and I never went to court nor never required much further concerning the subject as I thought as long as I was able to support myself
Page 6

  myself in any way by my labour, I did not want to become a public charge to my country.  and in pursuance o the Act of 1st May, 1820, I do solemnly swear 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 myself within the provisions of an act 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 of 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 income other than what is contained in the schedule hereto annexed and by me subscribed. To wit
           One cow and calf worth             $10.00
       One old sow and 5 shoats worth  $20.00
      An old mare worth not more than $20.00
                                     William Haney

The following changes has been made in my property since the 18th day of March 1818 as far as I recalled at this time.  I had three head of cattle and one horse.  The horse died and from them cattle, I raised the cow above mentioned and some others that I killed for beef, which I believe is all the changes that has taken place in my property more than I have raised a small crop of corn every year which I made use of for bread and to feed my horse and cow and to pay the rent I give for the land I live on.  My occupation is that of a farmer, but I am too old to pursue it.  My family consists of my wife named Sally, aged 52 years, and one child named William aged 13 years.   Sworn to and declared in open court this 23rd day of May 1826 before us, the subscribed Justices of the peace for said county court and we do hereby certify that it is the opinion of this court that the property contained in
Page 7

In the foregoing schedule does not exceed in value $50.00 and that the court is of the opinion from the evidence that the said Willliam Haney has rendered the services to his country in his declaration set forth and that this court is further of the opinion that from the indigent circumstances of said applicant, he does stand in need of the assistance of his country for support.  All of which is ordered to be recorded and certified to the secretary of War, James Lacey & A. Reele & Uriah Mayo – all of which is ordered to be copied and certified to the Secretary of War according to Law.
 
State of Kentucky                          Floyd County  Set.

Sir
       as an officer conducting an important branch of the General government in regards it fiscal concerns, you are  addressed for the purpose only of doing Justice to a department of our government ahead of abuses by its too liberal extension of favors to those who are not deserving.  I mean not that the department has extended its privileges, but I am fully aware that persons claiming under that act (the Pension act of different dates) have taken advantage + do draw money who are not entitled + who never served their country + who were the dupes of  certain   Individuals who were paid for their counsel + interfered.  In one district (of some ten miles square) probably the names of  Ward.   Haney +   Hardwick    may be found among those not entitled according to law but have come forward at the solicitation of   others.    A letter addressed to Henry Burgess, Esq.   Mr. James Shannon, William Davis, Rafus M. Stafford or E. G. Lane [illegible]  postmaster ( Georges Creek  Lawrence  County, Kentucky) will satisfy you that  fraud is afloat   We depend on your to correct the evil until which time [illegible] shall lie Idle   if however it should not be corrected, we will remonstrate, petition and protest  In Public until we  can have a hearing.  Having every confidence in your willingness to detect fraud and also the administration generally as relates
