State of Ohio Hamilton County
On the twenty first of February 1834 personally appeared in open Court before Court of Common Pleas of Hamilton County now sitting John Wilkinson a resident of the County of Butler & State aforesaid, aged seventy 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 7, 1832.
That upon the first of March (as well as he now recollects 1777) he volunteered in the militia under Captain James Campbell of Franklin County Pennsylvania & marched down to Philadelphia. The Lieutenant of the Company was Reynolds — the ensign's name forgotten. At the end of three months he volunteered again with Captain Patrick Jacks, & Lieut. Howell with whom he remained in Philadelphia till the last of August in the same year when the period of his service having expired, he was not permitted to return home, but was taken by a pick guard & made to drive a public team, in the exposure & hardship of which situation he continued till the close of the Revolution in '83 having been in the whole of it from the commencement. He was impressed into driving team about 10 days before the battle of Brandywine which he thinks was on the 11 th of September, the petitioner's birthday. He was present as teamster with his waggon. Upon the result of that engagement, the teams were ordered

ordered to retreat to Old Chester; from that place soon after it being unsafe to remain, he drove down to Philadelphia. Lord Howe's approach to the City scattered the waggons, & after spending a good deal of time in uncertainty, he went with the army into winter quarters at Valley Forge. At the opening of spring the petition returned with his waggon to Philadelphia; stayed there some time but short time, & went in pursuit of Howe into Jersey. He was in short continually with the Army till the end of the war: & was then discharged at Wilmington ton in Delaware. As this part of the pet- itions case is not recognized under the law of pensions he deems it unnecessary to detail it, & has only given the short statement now related with a view to show that he is willing everything should be known, & that nothing should be con- cealed to the friends of the Department. He has gone into the narrative briefly also because he can find no "surviving witness" to prove or corroborate the essential history of his six months service, which the regulations of the Department require when such can be had. He can find no person who recollects his services His discharge too, he is under the impres- sion has been lost, though his recollection of ever having had one is indistinct. He never received one cent in all his service except $10 in Continental money, with which he bought an old pair of shoes. He is living near where he has resided for twenty seven years past in Butler County Ohio. He is infirm, and poor, & without something from his Country cannot be comfortable. Upon this statement of his situation, as well as claims which fairly considered entitle him to the benefit of the Pension act he relies for relief. He regrets very much to state that he cannot ob- tain

(as expected by the Department from applicants) the certificate of a clergyman — The old parson John Thomson of Springdale in petitioner's neighbourhood having gone a year ago all the way to Crawfordsville Indiana where he has settled, & communication with him being impossible. His successor is a very young man who is not acquainted with the early settlers. The petitioner was born the 11. September 1760 in York County Pennsylvania. I has no record of his age. He returned after the War to Franklin County Pa where he lived till he moved to Greensburg, Westmoreland County, Pa; resided there 40 years & then came to Hamilton County Ohio where he lived 26 years when he removed to Butler Co Ohio where he now resides. He is acquainted in his neighbourhood with Thomas Fleming (also a Revolutionary Soldier from Maryland), John Miller, Thomas Smith Esq, John Rogers, John McElilliana (P.M. at Springdale) & David Powers, with whom he has been personally known since he came to this country, not to named others who were not then here, or in being.
The petitioner hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension or annuity except the present, & declares that his name is not on the pension roll of the agency of any State.
In witness whereof he has hereunto subscribed the day & year above.
