2047 Wallin's petition for freedom

The State of Ohio } Clark County }
On this 29 th day of July 1832.
I personally appeared in open court before George B. Hott Presiding Judge of the court of Common Pleas within and for the county and State aforesaid and Daniel W. Hinnon William G. Scripps Joseph Perrin his appoints of the same court, now sitting. Daniel Wallin a resident of Bethel township in the county of Clark and State aforesaid aged eighty three years who being 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 1832
That the said Daniel Wallin entered the service of the United States as a ranger or Indian Spy under Captain Jacob De Witt about the year 1776 as this applicant verily believes, and at all events as early as the month of January 1777, and served in the said service in the State of New York for the period of one year or thereabouts in the following States viz New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Applicant states that he "was enlisted"

by the State authorities of New York in the aforesaid service, and further states that in consequence of the his extreme old age he is unable to recollect the names of the subordinate officers under whom he served while a soldier in the company of De Witt. Applicant further states that at the time he entered the service aforesaid he resided at a place called New Shongum in the aforesaid state of New York. After applicant was dis- charged from the service to which he was bound as aforesaid under De Witt (the discharge given him having been lost after applicant was made a prisoner, and therefore cannot be produced) applicant volunteered about the month of April 1778 in the state of Pennsylvania as a minute man and served in that capacity until the 5 th day of June 1778 in the company of Capt. Stephen Hardin at which time he was taken prisoner by the Tories and Indians while out on a scouting party with together with Timothy Pierce

Joseph Budd, and James Whitney whose names he can recollect now, they having been his companions during his imprisonment. Applicant states that when taken, there were four in company with himself , that they were in a cabin on the banks of the Susque- hanna in the state Pennsylvania, that the party by which they were captured amounted to forty five then being forty Indians and five tories , that Bill Brooks one of the party was killed and scalped at the time of applicant's capture. Applicant with his companions in captivity was taken to Niagara where they remained a short time, they were then taken to Montreal, and thence to Quebec, where applicant remained for two years and a half or thereabouts; afterwards applicant was removed to a guard ship lying near the island of Orleans in the St. Lawrence, from which place he made his escape, having been

in captivity. three years or thereabouts. Col Butler of Wilkesbarre Luzerne County Pennsylvania was a commanding officer in the same service in which applicant was en- gaged at the time of his capture. Applicant has no documentary evidence to establish his right to a pension, nor does he know of any one living who can testify to his service. Applicant hereby relinquishes every claim whatsoever to a pension or annuity except the present, and declares that his name is not on the pension roll of the the agen- cy of any state.
David his  mark Wallin
The following statement is made by the ap- plicant in answer to interrogatories propounded to him by the court namely 1. I was born at New-Hartford Litchfield county, Connecticut on the fifteenth day of March seventeen hundred and forty nine or fifty, I am not positive which

2 I have no record of my age - but I think I remember my father or brother telling me that my age was recorded in the town of New Hartford aforesaid.
3 I was living at the time I was called into the service in New Shohemore in the state of New York - Since the revolutionary war I have lived first in New Hartford aforesaid, afterwards in Luzerne county Pennsylvania, afterwards in the Lake country in the state of New York and since that time I have lived in Indiana and Ohio. Respondent cannot give the dates of his residence or removals from one place to another. Respondent at this time resides in Clark county Ohio.
4 I went into the service of U. States as a volunteer I believe under the state authorities, though the manner of entering was called "listing."
5 I cannot state any field officers names except Col. Butler's. There were very few if any besides him engaged where I did duty, it being on the northern frontier in what were then the wildest districts of Pennsylvania and New York.

Respondent refers the court to his general statement for the circumstances of his service & I received no discharge at the end of my first term of service which was burnt when my father's house was burnt by the Indians, and during the time I was a captive. The discharge was given me by Capt. Jacob De Witt.
7 I refer to David A. Searle, Daniel L. Sharp, Joseph S. Davis, Peter Helmaw, Brown Searle, Timothy Searle and Robert Searle (some of whom were acquainted with me in New York) now residents of the neighborhood in which I live, to testify if necessary to my character for truth and veracity, and also that I have been a soldier of the revolution as they verily believe.
Sworn to and subscribed the day and year aforesaid.
