Declaration in order to obtain the
benefit of the Act of Congress,
[illegible] June 7, 1832.

2 On this 22nd day of October AD 1833 personally appeared in open Court before the Court of [illegible] [illegible] sitting Moses Berman a resident of Stock
Township in the County of Harrison & State of Ohio, aged seventy six years, who living 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 [insert] following named officers served as hereafter stated. He first entered the Service in the month of May 1781 in Braford County, Pennsylvania (& he thinks the first of the month) as a substitute for John McKiever, in a company of Militia which was drafted for two months. The company was commanded by Captain Patrick Hanry. The names of the lieutenant & ensign he cannot remember. The company [illegible] at Bradford & shortly after marched to "[illegible] Station" on [illegible] Creek about three miles from Bradford. They continued to be stationed there for the purpose of guarding the settlements against incursions of the Indians until their term expired which was the [illegible] of June for first of July 1781 when they were discharged; but he received no written discharge that he can remember. He served in this tour trans[illegible]. There was no other company in the Service with them at the time.
By (?) February 1782 (he thinks about the truth of that month) he entered the Service again as a substitute for Daniel Collins, who had been drafted for two months in a company of Militia at said[illegible] County. The company was commanded by Captain Edward Rose, but the names of his Lieutenant and ensign he does not remember. The company was stationed during the whole time at the town of Bedford for the purpose

of protecting that place other neighboring settlements from incursions of the Indians. [Illegible] was also stationed there, at the same time the company of Braford Rangers commanded by Lieut. Richard Johnson. He was discharged on the 10th of April 1782 [illegible] as he can remember; & he served two months, bring the whole period for which his company was drafted. He got no written discharge, according to the best of his recollections.
On the 14th of April 1782 he entered the service the third time, at said Bedford County, as a substitute for his father William Berman who had been drafted for two months.[two words underlined]  The officers of the company in which he served were Captain John Rush, Lieut. John Longstreach & Ensign Thomas Harrod.
He marched with his company sword all the time during this tour at" Piper's Station" on [ellegible] Creek two miles from Bedford . Col. John Pifer was the commondant at that station. He served two months this tour, & was discharged o the 14th day of June 1782; but received no written discharge, except an imperfect memorandum signed by Ensign Harrod; the Captain Lieutenant & most of the company having returned home a day or two before.
Between the first & the fifth of August 1782 (but he is not certain as to [illegible] day) he enlisted at "Friend's Cove" in said Bedford County into the company of Bedford Rangers during the war. This company was commanded by Lieutenant Richard Johnson. His Ensign was Hugh [illegible]. The captain whose name was John Boyd had been, shortly before that time, to him, prisoner by the Indians. He was quartered during the principal fort of the times of this service at Bedford; but went occasionally on scouts to "Dunnons Creek," Raystown Branch." Frankstown. He went at our time, during this enlistment with 8 or 10 others of his company commanded by said Ensign Means, & about

Page 5

15 or 20 Militia, commanded by Captain Delap (or Dunlop) to Frankstown, and the next morning they marched out towards the mountain, along what was called the "Catanian Path." Three or four miles from Frankstown they were attacked by the Indians, who were lying in ambush + nearly all killed. Ensign [illegible] was wounded in the hand and he thinks only 7 or 8 besides himself escaped. He returned with those to Bedford where he and his company continued stationed the [illegible] part of the time until hostilities crosed; and he was discharged  with the rest of the company of the fourth day of July 1783. Mr [illegible] in this last tour, under said enlistment, eleven months; and altogether, (including his previous services) seventeen months. He received a discharge from his said last mentioned tour of service but it has been lodged, + is now remaining  as he subboses [supposes?] in the office of this Secretary of the [illegible] office in Pennsylvania. He entered the service of each of said occasions + served each time as a private soldier. he has no documentary evidence (except the memorandum signed by Ensign [illegible] above mentioned + a certification from the Secretary of the [illegible] both of which he herewith discloses office and he knows of no person whose testimony he can procure who can testify to his services. There is no clergyman residing in his neighborhood; + he knows of no one whose testimony he can obtain as to his belief respecting his age + the general belief in the neighborhood relative to his Revolutionary Services. He hereby relinquishes any claim whatsoever to a pension or annuity except the present, + declares that his name is not on the Pension Roll of the [illegible]of any state, or (if any only on that of the [illegible] of the state of Pennsylvania. And in answer to the interrogatories put by the court, he states, he was born in Cumberland County Pennsylvania on the 8th day of August 1757

II nd He had not any record of his age but dirived [sic] [derived] his information from his [illegible].
III rd At each of the times when he entered the service he was living in Bradford County Pennsylvania. After the close of the Revolutionary War he resided in that state for about twenty years. He then removed to Maryland and resided about the same time in that state near the town of Cumberland, for the last [illegible] years he has resided in Harrison County, Ohio, where he now lives.

Dear Sir,
Herewith I send you as requested the Pension certificate of Moses Beeman[sp] with request to have the new one opened as soon as possible, and the agent instructed to pay him for the term of service appearing in the papers on file, “commencing since he was last paid”. 

In the mean time Mr. Beeman states that he served in the army of the revolution in all for the space of three years—part of the time in the militia- With the view of establishing this fact, if it can now be done, I wish you to let me know what evidence the department requires, and in what manner it is proper to proceed—with forms &c. —in order to pursue an allowance for the whole of the time if possible—Mr. Beeman’s indigence is such, however, as will not admit of delay at present, in opening a certificate for such sum as can be allowed at present
Very respectfully,
Yours &c.
W. A. Hoey 

P.S. Please state also whether future payments will be made at Cincinnati or Wheeling-

His service under Captain John Boyd was referred to in a case under act of 7th June 1832 as being the same for which the claim was made and upon an examination of the papers of Beman, it was discovered that he alleged only seventeen months service —Ensign Hugh Means who belonged to the company of Cap.

Hon: J. L. Edwards

Dear Sir

I write at the request of Moses Beeman, a revolutionary pensioner of Teh United States, to ascertain for what cause his pension has been suspended.—

It appears from a letter received from his agent at Wheeling Va. (where I believe this pension has been heretofore drawn) that the same “was suspended by order of the Commission on the 10th Augt last” but for what reason could not be discovered-and in consequence the instalment[sp] from 4th March 1841 to 4th September 1841, at the rate of $80.00 per annum is still due and unpaid, notwithstanding the efforts of Mr. Beeman to obtain it.

The old man resides in this county (Knox) and is in extremely indigent circumstances & this pension for revolutionary services as a private soldier is his whole dependence- I hope therefore that I may be permitted to bespeak for his case an early attention, as at present he is really in a suffering condition

Please advise me, what obstacles are in the way  of his receiving his pension, if any, & how they may be removed- and also at what agency this pension shall be drawn hereafter.  I would thank you also if you w∂. be so good as to send me some instructions as to forms &c proper to be observed in drawing pensions— Mr. Beemans certificate (which is now before me) is endorsed at top as follows. “Payments

Washington March 28th 1856
Sir:
 Enclosed I have the honor to present the application of the Administration of Moses Beeman[sp] decd. late of Ohio and a pensioner under the Act of 1832, for arrears of Pension under act of May 15th 1828, and also for an increase.

Said Moses Beeman was originally pensioned at $80 per annum under act of 1832, but was suspended on the 4th of March 1841. He was afterwards reinstated at the rate of $56.66/100 per annum. This reduction of his pension was founded upon the assumed fact that he had served only 17 months.

By reference to his declaration you will perceive that his last enlistment was, “for the war” in the Pennsylvania line, and as he served to the end of the war, he was entitled to a full pension under the Act of 15th May 1828, whether he served two years or not.

That he was a war’s man, and served to the close of the war

Page 38

is clearly proved by the records in your office. He received Bounty Land from the United States, and the papers upon which his land was allowed was his file in your office. These papers clearly identify the soldier who received the Bounty Land with the father of the present Claimants, who drew the pension aforesaid, under Act of 1832.

They now claim a full pension under the Act of 1828, to the time of their father’s death, deducting what was received under Act of 1832.
I have the honor to be 
Very Respectfully
