In the record and proceedings of the same Court, among others was the following, to-wit:-
Thomas Wakle application for a pension-
Be it remembered, that on the seventh day of August said in the year of our Lord before the judges aforesaid, Person- nally appeared in open Court (being a Court of record expressly constituted as such, by the laws and Constitution of the State of Ohio, having power to fine and imprison, with jurisdiction unlimited in point of amount, proceeding according to the course of the common Law and keeping a record of its proceedings) Thomas Wakle 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 provision made by the acts of Congress of the 18 th of March 1818, and the 8 th of May 1820: That he the said Thomas Wakle enlisted as a private for the term of nine months, on the first day of April 1780, in the State of Connecticut, in the company commanded by Captain Fitch, and in the regiment commanded by

Colonel Sumney, in the line of the State of Connecticut, on the Continental establishment: That he continued to serve in the said corps until the 4 th day of January 1781, when he was discharged from the service at Preak Hill in the State of New York: That he the said Thomas Waite afterwards about the 22 nd day of April 1781, again enlisted as a private for the term of nine months, in the State of Connecticut as aforesaid, in the company commanded by Captain Joseph Campstock in the regiment commanded by Colonel Isaac Sherman in the line of the State of Connecticut, on the Continental establishment; That he continued to serve in the said corps until the 22 nd day of January 1782, when he was discharged from the service at Fishkill in the State of New York: That he hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension except the present; That his name is not on the roll of any State as a pensioner, and that the following are the reasons for not making earlier application for a pension sometime about the 7 th day of May 1818, he applied to one— Attesta Esq a Judge of the Court of Common Pleas of Onondaga County at Canandaigua in the State of New York, before whom he made the declaration of his services, in the continental army, agreeably to the mode of proceeding at that time, which this applicant supposed had forwarded the same to the Secretary of War. Shortly after making said application, this applicant emigrated to the State of Ohio, to the County where he now resides and has been anxiously waiting the result of said application from New York; and never knew but the

same had been regularly accounted at the War department until the month of June 1826—
And in pursuance of the act of 3 rd of May 1820, I do solemnly swear, that I was a resident citizen of the United States, on the 18 th day of March 1818, and that I have not since that time, by gift sale or in any manner disposed of any property or any part thereof, with intent thereby 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 service of the United States, in the revolutionary war," passed on the 18 th day of March 1818: And 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. I am by profession a labourer, but from age and infirmity am unable to support myself by the same. I have no family or settled place of residence, nor relations able to support me, and am much indebted to the charity and kindness of individuals who are not related to me. There have never been any changes in my property, since the 18 th of March 1818, as I had no property at that time, nor have I ever had any since only small earnings, which were expended for my support, as occasion required; excepting the property mentioned in the schedule hereto annexed, which has come into my possession by purchase since 1822—
