Can you give me any information regarding the war record of William White who was a drummer boy in the Revolutionary army. He was born in 1663 and from the fact that a number of his descendants lived in or near Mc Kean Co Pa. it is inferred that he may have been from that section; also that he later lived in Norwich N.Y. but I am

not sure on either point. There was a William White who died in 1860 that was probably he although possibly a son of the same name. I am aware that this very meagre but if I could obtain any definite facts so that I knew where to look it might be possible for me to collect more.

Sir
The inclosed papers were sent to me to present to the H. R. But there is no need of legislation on the subject. The Petitioner is poor enough for a pension and if the papers are sufficient I hope he will be restored under the Law of last Session. The Petition will be shown the State of the case. If the papers are insufficient I wish them returned with notes of the deficiency. The certificate should be returned at any rate.

To the Secretary of war Sir we the under signers having just reason to believe that William White of Norwich Chenango County New York is not entitled to draw his Pension as a Revolutionary Soldier as you will see by the affidavits herein enclosed, and as we have been personally acquainted with him for many years and at the time he first applied for his pension, he was then in affluent circumstances, he then occupied a good farm which he has since rented for seventy five dollars a year. and since his first application for his Pension he has purchased another farm worth about five hundred Dollars the avails of which he applies to much to litigation with his Neighbours, and as you will see by the enclosed affidavits that he did not serve as a Soldier but a very short time, but was a deserter from the army. with this and other circumstances we the under signers do believe the said Wm White is not at this time nor ever was entitled to draw a Pension - this from your humble servants

To the Honorable the Senate and House of Representatives of United States.
The Petition of William White of the Town of Wannick and County of Chautauqua and State of New York humbly represents. That your petitioner conceives that he is justly entitled to a pension under the act of Congress of the 18 th of March 1818 for military Services. (as to the Services the pension certificate hereto annexed is ample proof) Your Petitioner was stricken from the Pension list roll in consequence of the amount of property mentioned in the Schedule of his declaration made; previous to his being so stricken from the roll. Which your petitioner is led to believe was owing to his not having made a Statement of the debts due from him to creditors at that time and your Petitioner would further represent that the payment of part of his debts subsequent to his declaration of the 11 th of June 1820 has consumed all his property except a few articles of about thirty Dollars in value and your Petitioner would further beg leave to represent that the old age & decay of himself and consort is such that unless he can obtain some relief from his country he and his wife and small children must suffer for the want of the common necessaries of life. Your Petitioner would therefore humbly pray that he may be replaced upon the pension list roll and be allowed that relief granted to Soldiers of the revolution in the like situation.

William White resident in said County aged sixty two 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 the 18 th of March 1818 the first of May 1820 and the first of March 1823. That he the said William White enlisted for the term of three years (the time of enlistment he cannot state with precision but refers to papers heretofore sent by him to the Hon Secretary of War now in the possession of the War department) in the State of Connecticut in the Company commanded by Captain Aaron Stevens in the regiment commanded by Colonel Heman Swift in the line of the State of Connecticut on the continental establishment, that he continued in the corps for about two years when he obtained a furlough on account of illness in the state of New Jersey and was afterwards honorably discharged to which discharge he refers for more certainty being in the possession of the War department. This declarant further states that he made an application in conformity to an act of Congress of March 18 th 1818. and that his name was inscribed on the pension list roll of the Connecticut agency as will appear by his pension certificate N o 1275. now in his possession. - And I do solemnly swear that I was a resident citizen of the United States on the eighteenth of March eighteen hundred and eighteen 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 service of the United States"

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 services of the United States in the war of rebellion" passed March 3rd 1872.
on the 18 th day of March 1872, & 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.
That all the articles contained in his former schedule have been sold but he is not able to enumerate them, but they were sold in Connecticut several years ago, previous to his removal to the State of Ohio, and the property used in all was either applied at that time towards the payment of his debts or has since that time been consumed or lost. The following are all the articles of property in his possession viz.
  1 Tea Kettle $ - .50   1 Pair Shovel & Tongs .67   Three cups &c .75   Knives & forks .75   Glasses .25   Goldsmith Tools such as files 2.00 $ 4.92 
This declarant further states that his family consists of his wife aged fifty five years a very feeble woman & his daughter Philena aged seventeen. He was formerly by occupation a gold a gold smith but his eye sight has long been so bad that he could not work at his trade & being sixty two years of age his infirmities and feebleness prevent him from doing any other kind of labor sufficient for his support, so that unless he obtain a pension from the government he cannot support himself & wife without the aid of public or private charity.
