Deponent enlisted at Rocky Hill in New Jersey & joined the Regiment commanded by Colonel De Hart at Sparks town in New Jersey was marched from there to New Brunswick & from there to Amboy, the Company marched from there northward, but deponent was left there to take care of the sick - Deponent does not recollect the names of the officers then in command except his Captain - he was marched back to Rocky Hill at the end of his time & without receiving a discharge immediately enlisted again in the same Company with the same Captain. as deponent thought for three years, but he has been informed he was returned as enlisted for during the war. Deponent was then marched to near Sparktown New Jersey where he joined the Regiment Commanded by Col. De Hart. He was there placed upon duty, while on duty the British got the Country sign came up to deponent, wounded & took him prisoner - took him to New York, imprisoned him there for a few weeks, when the British Commissary took him to Staten Island where he remained six or nine months - he had liberty to fish & the use of a canoe some times - he made two attempts to get away but was disappointed - There was two refugees there that agreed with deponent that if he would let them have the use of the canoe they would bring him off safe - he did & they brought him off safe & landed him at Staten Island Brayer point next went to Hackensack, then deponent left the two refugees, and went to the American Army which then lay at the Valley Forge & joined his regiment - Capt. Polhamus told deponent he was entitled to his discharge. Deponent mentioned this to Col. De Hart, he made no answer but gave no discharge. Deponent was marched from the Valley Forge across the Delaware to head the British on their retreat from Philadelphia - was at the battle of Monmouth where Genl. Lee's sword was taken from him by Washington - In the battle some of our troops retreated, deponent was on the retreat with Lieutenant Sealey of De Hart's regiment.

Henry Wynn being sworn before the Subscriber a Justice of the peace in and for Lycoming County aforesaid on the 30th day of January A.D. 1847 On his oath saith, I am a son of Henry Wynn now deceased late of Franklin Township in the said County of Lycoming, and of his wife Catharine Wynn who is still living, and lives with me. I was born in Catawissa Township then in Northumberland now by division in Columbia County in Pennsylvania From the best information I have received, and as I always believed and now do I was born in the year Seventeen hundred and ninety, and believe myself to be about fifty seven years of age about this time. There was a record of the age of my Father & Mother, children, but it was destroyed by a child. I lived with my Father and Mother until I was married which was in the year 1836 After my marriage I still lived with my Father & Mother, He not being able to do any business from his age, I attended to his affairs. We all lived in Columbia County aforesaid until about 6 years or 7 years ago when we all moved into Franklin Township Lycoming County — My Father died Shortly after we moved up here (Lycoming County) He died in the month of June in the latter part of the month. From my earliest knowledge of my Father until the time of his death I always heard from him, and so understood from the People who knew him, that he was a Soldier of the Revolu- tionary war — That he was in several Battles,

Among others, of the Battle of Trenton and of Princeton. I often heard him tell of the story, that Genl Washington ordered to be made up to deceive the English Army, the night in which Genl Washington marched the American Army from Trenton to Princeton — My Father had a Bayonet wound on the side of his Breast, which I often saw —
I always heard my Father and Mother say that they were married in Jersey during the Revolutionary war, and that my Father was an enlisted Soldier at the time, My Father was taken prisoner by the English, and I have often heard him tell of his making his escape with two other Soldiers, one named Bill Dickson and the other called Thomas Day — and that he returned to the American Army afterwards, and continued in service until the end of the war.
I have always understood that my Parents had two Children born during the war one named William and the other named Thomas, William died young, and Thomas died when he was 25 years old — According to the best of my information my Mother who is living with me now must be about Ninety Seven years of age, and for a Person of that great age has her general health and faculties xx unimpaired — She is dependent for support on me, and I have from misfortune, lost all my property —

State of Pennsylvania Lycoming County ss.
Before me Simon
Schuyler a Justice of the peace in and for Lycoming County aforesaid on this 14th day of January A.D. 1847 personally appeared before me at the office of Mr. Cox Ellis attorney at Law in the Borough of Muncy Mrs. Catharine Wynn, who being sworn according to Law whered oath said as follows —
I am Ninety Seven years of age on the 18th day of this month January 1847, that was my birth day, the 18th day of January and by the best account I have of my age it is as above stated — I was married to Henry Wynn, in the State of New Jersey in Somersetshire County. He was an enlisted Soldier in the American Army of the War of the Revolution when I married him, it was about Three years and a half before the close of the War that I was married to Henry Wynn, I had Two children by him before the close of the War when I was married, I lived with my uncle Rowley Peterson my Father being dead. My uncle lived one mile and a half from the house of Nevil Wynn the Father of my husband. He and I were brought up as neighboring children After I was married my husband was taken prisoner by the English Army and kept a Prisoner on Staten Island as I am now, informed about Nine months, during which time I did not see him. He made his escape from the English Army, as a Prisoner, with Five other Soldiers, one I remember was Bill Dickson I don't know what was the name of the others. After my husband returned home he joined the American Army again, as I understand he went to General Washington's head quarters and continued from that time in the Army until peace was declared, when he was discharged. My husband was at Wyoming on the North branch of the Susquehanna. I remember Joseph King, he was also a Soldier in the Army of the Revolution he and my husband were Soldiers together — I remember his wife Louisa, she followed the Army, she was acquainted with my husband

During the war while the Army layed in Fanny my husband sometimes got a furlough to come home, and to stay a day or two, when he always returned to the Army.
After then were married my husband was later South in the Army, as I always understood to the State of Virginia. I have often heard him speak of having been while in the Army in that State at Stanton Winchester & Green Briar.
I have often heard my husband say he enlisted when he was 18 years of age and continued in the Service till peace.
I have no record of my age, I state it from the best of my memory. For a person of my great age, I have excellent health and am unusually strong and active for a person of my age.
My memory is not so good as it was, — but I have clear recollection of the time of my marriage and the birth of my children.
I had five during the war and four after wards. In all I had eleven children, of whom I believe there are four still living.
My husband worked hard and got a good deal of property together. He would have applied for a Pension in his life time and every body knew he deserved it as a Soldier who had served the whole war — But he was advised that he had too much property to apply —
In last July 1846 it would be said years since he died. He had then a good deal of property, which he left under the care of my son Henry Wynn to be divided among my children & him. He was appointed Executor but did not serve. Another man was appointed and all the little property left by my husband was soon squandered and lost, so that at my death none of it now remains. I am now dependent on my son Henry Wynn for support and he is a poor man. To the best of my memory, my husband served in the Company of Captain Pulham. I have often heard my husband tell of his being in the battles of Trenton,

Princeton and Monmouth in the sense — he was once wounded by a Bayonet in the Breast, which left a mark that he carried with him to his grave — He was well known in this County as a Soldier of the Revolution — And all the old people of the County knew that I had lived with him as his wife from my marriage during the war until his death — I mean that this was the uncontradicted reputation of my husband and myself — I am too poor to find means to get to court, although if it was convenient I might as to my health carry into them —  Catharine X Wynn Mark  Sworn and Subscribed January 14 th 1847 before me D.

I, Clerk of the Court of Common Pleas of said County do certify that the above Signature purporting to be D. Schuyler is genuine and that he is an acting Justice of the Peace.

Dear Sir
You will receive by this mail the petition of Catherine Wynn, a very aged woman the widow of Henry Wynn — who was always reputed as a revolutionary Soldier — Since the death of her Husband she has become very poor — The property of her husband which he left, having all been plundered, by a scoundrel who administered on his Estate —
I suppose the proof of Marriage to be sufficient and that her husband was a Soldier of the Revolution — never was doubted in this County. She prepared for this application as you will see a good while ago. The early papers, proofs, are collected & the whole verified as to the facts of deposition, having been taken before proper Justice, of the peace. I have to ask the favour of you to give the application the proper direction — and to aid it by your attention and influence.
I am Sir in great Respect Truly yours,

Sir
The enclosed papers with others, were sent to me during the last period of my Congressional term, for the purpose of obtaining a pension for Mrs. Louisa Thompson. a widow of a revolution soldier. I did not succeed for the reasons stated in the enclosed letter from the Com. of Pensions. From the letter of Mr. Ellis, it will be seen that the strict proof required cannot be had. The Widow is still living, at a very advanced age, & is no doubt entitled to a pension, & is anxious that the application be renewed & urged. Her application & papers are on file in the Commission of Pensions office, forwarded by me in 1848 & 1849. Perhaps the present Commission under the circumstances may deem the proof sufficient. I send the papers to you at the old Snodgrass request, to see if you can accomplish anything for her. Will you please give the matter your attention & confer a great favor on a worthy old woman.
Yours Respectfully

Dear Sir
I have rec d your favour of the 12th of Feby last, on the subject of the claim of Catharine Wynn for a Pension, as the wife of Henry Wynn a Revolutionary Soldier with the letter of Geo. W. Crump of the Pension Off ce to yourself dated Feby 11th 1848—
If the evidence submitted by Mrs Wynn, would prove the fact of the service of her Husband and of her marriage during his service & of her never having married again, — then the main & only facts, which the poor old woman, can prove, — They are now proved by that evidence — First the evidence of Mrs King — as to the service — The situation of the witness qualified her to speak on the subject — And then the evidence of a marriage so long ago made is well proved — The testimony would be sufficient, in a question of dower, as to marriage — And the testimony ought to be sufficient to prove the facts alleged, in whole, in any legal proceedings
The applicant is nearly 100 years old — I suppose from my recollection about 94 — And then we are directed to get a certificate of a marriage of obscure persons, which took place about 75 or 80 years ago, probably in a cabin before a Justice of the peace, or some Preacher, either of whom or both would probably be dead 50 years ago

This is impossible — If the Pension will not be granted on the proof given, then I can neither go nor send to the Secretary of State of New Jersey, to get Certificate of Service, which if got would probably be deficient in Form or some other point of Official requirement
What I wish you to do, is to get Dr Sturgeon to go with you to the Secretary of War — and to begin with this case at the top of the office — Begin a Lawyer , a Christian & a Soldier , and a Lawyer and talk the matter over with the Secretary — I would not trouble you, about the case, if there was any reasonable cause to doubt the truth of the main fact, — That entitle Mrs Woyner to a Pension — Please to try this plan — I have had to do the like many times — if I remember correctly — The Secretary can judge of a case, upon its merits — without measuring it so as to find whether it will fit this gimlet hole, of Form or not — But whether it is substantially proved —
Then if all should fail, would there be a chance for the poor old woman, by a special act of Congress for her relief — If I remember right Genl Houghton when he was a Member of the House, had a very persuasive eloquence, at the service of the old Soldiers, claim — I think you would find many warm hearted Gentlemen in Congress

Ready to lend you a hand
Please to write to me & say what progress & what prospects - Her daughter in Law is now in my office and I write at her request for her poor old mother in Law

during the Revolutionary war I resided in Somerset County State of New Jersey in the family of my uncle Rowley Peterson; my parents being dead about one & half mile from. David Winn the father of my late Husband Henry Winn; who was an enlisted Soldier at the time I was married to the S d Henry Winn; & which was about 32 years before the war was close and had two children by him at the close of the war after our marriage my husband was taken prisoner and was kept as such for about nine months on Staten Island during which time I did not get to see him; I have heard him say he was in the battles of Merimack and Prince- town; he was out after the Indians at one time on the North branch of the Susquehanna I was there with him and in the fall of that year the fort was evacuated and we all left there while I resided in the family of my uncle General Washington quartered there for 3 days There was about 300 men with him.
I recollect of William Wallis and Joseph King being a part of the company at the fort at Wyoming and Louise King the wife of Joseph King was there also frequently during the war my husband would get a permit to come home and would stay at home from one to six days and then return to the army.
I have heard him say after we was married he was taken South in the army I think to Virginia I have heard him speak of being at Staunton and Winchester & Green Brier my husband I have heard him and his parents say he enlisted when he was 18 years old

I have no record of my age but from the best information I can get I am 87 years of age or perhaps more
