Application of James Ware, for revolutionary pension

Mr. Edwards,
Sir,
I herewith submit the application of James Ware, of Jackson Co. Mississippi, to be placed on the revolutionary pension roll, under the law of the last session: And I beg leave to offer in support of the application, my own testimony as follows.
I have known Mr. Ware for the last twenty five years - he has always been considered, by public notoriety, as an old soldier of the revolutionary war.
My father, who had been engaged throughout the war, always treated him & spoke of him as an old revolutionary soldier. To the best of my recollection they had both fought, as they said, in the battle of the Cowpens.
Mr. Ware is very old, & infirm, & poor.
I know Mrs. Farragut & Grabam who are the certifiers to his character.

They are respectable men & worthy of all belief. — Mr. Farragut is an officer of the navy. —
Mr. Ware has frequently declared to me that he had lost all money to show his service.
He has been for several years trying to get himself pensioned by Congress, and if he can be placed on the roll, I would request on his behalf that it be made to commence as far back, as the rules of the office will allow — believing as I do, that it would be juster to do so.
