Hunterdon County 1st Before me James Ewing one of the judges of the court of Common Pleas in said county of Hunterdon personally appeared Thomas Carhart an Invalid Pensioner a person to me well known and worthy of credit who being duly sworn and deposeth and saith that he is the same person formerly who belonged to Capt Thomas Pattersen's company in the third New Jersey Regiment commanded by Col Elias Dayton in the service of the United States, that he was placed on the Pension Roll of the State of New Jersey in virtue of the Act of Congress of March 23, 1792 at the rate of two dollars fifty cents per month, that his pension was afterwards revised to five dollars per month by another act of congress and finally to eight dollars per month by an Act of Congress passed April 24, 1816 at which rate he has received from that time until the 4th March last without ever having had a certificate from any office or officer, that the President of the Trenton Bank now informs him that he can receive no longer without a certificate from the War Office, that he has been thrice examined by surgeons agreeably to law, and that the disability for which his pension was first granted still continues, he therefore transmits this deposition to procure a certificate.
