Eastern District of Pennsylvania: s.s.
On this second day of April, A.D. 1819, before me, Richard Peters, Judge of the District court of the United States in and for the eastern district of Pennsylvania, personally appeared John Tudor, of the county of Philadelphia, who, having been duly sworn, deposes and says, that he was a private in Anthony Sharp's company of the 3d battalion of New Jersey infantry commanded by col. Elias Dayton; that he enlisted prior to the declaration of independence, was in service at Ticonderoga, under general Wayne, during the winter of 1775-6, and was discharged at or near Princeton after the battles of Trenton and Princeton. That, owing to various casualties and changes, he has lost his discharge and other documents which might more clearly establish his service and claim; that he is now old, infirm, and in such reduced circumstances as to need the aid of his country for his support: and that he has never received or been allowed any pension from the United States. Deponent, for the purpose of enabling the proper officers to examine the muster-rolls of New Jersey, in which his name will be found, further says that — Harbo was major in the same battalion with him, and Joseph Bloomsfield a captain in the same.
