John Picket, in the State of Pennsylvania, about the month of August or September, in the year 1777. which company was attached to the eighth Pennsylvania Regiment, commanded by Col o M c Coy, and Lieu-tenant Col o Wilson, both of whom died before the Regiment arrived at Camp. After which the said Regiment was commanded by Col o Broadhead. That he served out the time for which he had enlisted, and received a regular discharge from Capt. Findly (who then commanded said company) at Pittsburgh, in Pennsylvanian, which discharge he lost many years ago. He further declares that the said service was performed

in the continental line, and that by reason of his reduced circumstances in life he needs the assistance of his country for support. He states that possibly he may be mistaken as to the Christian name of Capt. Pickett, but is satisfied he is correct as to his surname.
And the undersigned further certifies that the said Joshua York, in due and legal form, made oath to the foregoing declaration, and as to the truth of the facts stated therein, on the date of these presents. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal this 30 th day of April 1818.

and on testimony subsequent, business etc.

George Lee personally appeared before the undersigned, Judge of the first Judicial District, on this 5 th of July 1819, and being first duly sworn, deposes that he served in the same company with the applicant, Joseph York, during the revolutionary war, that the said York served in a company commanded by Capt. James Pigott, of the 8 th Pennsylvania Regiment, commanded by Col. Mc Coy. That this Regiment was stationed on the Allegheny river, above Pittsburgh, at a place called Calania, where he first became acquainted with York, sometime about October 1776. That this Regiment was marched to Philadelphia, where it arrived a short time after the Hessians were taken at Trenton, and from thence marched to Trenton, - to Princeton, and Quibbelsloon. That this deponent knows that said York was attached to the above company from the time they first rendezvoused at Calania until the Regiment arrived at a place called Bonbrook, in New Jersey, about April 1777. At that place this deponent was separated from said York, and did not know him afterwards, nor does he know what became of him, until he came to this deponent's house in Bracken county, Kentucky, not long since, to see him on the subject of his claim for a pension.
John Waugh, being also first duly  sworn , personally appeared before the undersigned, the 12 th August 1819, and being duly sworn, deposes and says, that he joined the rendezvous, at a place called the

Battalion in August 1776, and he knows that the applicant, Joshua York, was then there, and attached to a company commanded by Capt. John Pickett, belonging to the 8 th Pennsylvania Regiment, then commanded by Col o . M c Coy; upon whose death Ge o . Wilson succeeded to the command; and upon his death, it was com- manded by Col o . Broadhead. That the said York, as he understood, enlisted in the western parts of Pennsylvania, and he knows he served out his full term of three years. He knows this from the circumstance of the expedition going against the Muncy Towns in 1779, about the period at which the time of said York and this deponent was about to expire. The sol- diers were solicited to volunteer their servi- ces to go on this expedition. This deponent claim- ed his discharge, and refused to go, but he knows that York did volunteer for that purpose, and the deponent was discharged, and came home.
And I the said Adams Beatty, Judge as afo d do certify that I am personally acquainted with the said George Lee and John Waugh, and know them to be men of credibility; and moreover certify that I am also personally ac- quainted with the applicant, and know from general report that he is in very low and reduced circumstances, and that he needs the assistance of his country for a support. And being satisfied from said proofs, that the said York did perform the ser- vice by him stated, in the continental service, for 9 months & upwards, is returned certified, do. Given under my hand this 12 th Aug t 1819. A Beatty.

The data herein were obtained from the papers on file in pension claim, S. 35757, based upon the Revolutionary War service of John York.
The date and place of soldier's birth and names of his parents are not shown in the claim.
John York enlisted in Orange County, Virginia, in the spring of 1775, served as private in Captain George Waugh's company, Colonel Matthews' Virginia regiment, and in Colonel Call's Virginia regiment, was in several little engagements including Sowel's Old Fields, and after about fifteen months was discharged on account of illness; he also served eight months before the surrender of Cornwallis as a private in Colonel Call's Virginia regiment, was in the siege of Yorktown, after which he was discharged.

In 1820, the soldier was still living in Fayette County, Kentucky, and gave his age as seventy-two years, with no explanation of the discrepancy. At the same time he referred to his wife aged sixty-eight years but did not give her name. No reference was made to children.

Joshua York of the County aforesaid maketh oath, that he is the same person to whom a pension Certificate, issued several years ago under the pension laws of the U- nited States, granting him a pension at the rate of eight dollars per month, for services rendered as a soldier on the Pennsylvania line in the war- of the Revolution, that he was then afterwards stricken from the pension Roll and thereupon his certificate of no further use, he suffered it to get destroyed so that no part of it remains, except a portion of the seal of the War Depart- ment (which he annexes hereto) That he has since been reinstated on the pension Roll as appear by the Certificate of J. L. Edwards, of the Pension office bearing date March 9 th 1829 which he has now in his possession, and with which he applied at Lexington to the pension agent some months ago and was told his name was not on the list of Pensioners

certified to that office for payment, Having since learned that that opinion was corrected, he recently applied again when his original Certificate was demanded, notwithstanding his name was certified as a pensioner & notwithstanding he produced the certificate of his reinstatement, Thus he has been compelled twice to travel a distance of near seventy miles in bad roads & at an expence of money & bodily fatigue, to which his resources & health are very unequal and has not yet obtained his pension, and is informed he cannot get it until he gets his certificate renewed, He therefore respectfully prays of the Honorable the secretary of war a renewal of it, or such an order as will compel the payment of the money without further

To the Honorable Secretary of War.
The Petition of Joshua York of the County of Mason and State of Kentucky respectfully represents: That he was a soldier in the line during the Revolutionary War; and that in the Year 18 — he forwarded documents to the War Department establishing his identity and his services for the purpose of obtaining a pension. That his name was placed on the Pension List and that he received as a pensioner about 177 dollars; but that he was afterwards suspended on the ground that he was in possession of property adequate to his maintenance, and that he has since received nothing. From the construction recently given to the pension law your petitioner hopes that he will be entitled to the benefits of it, and that, upon an examination of the documents herewith forwarded, and those heretofore forwarded, which he supposed to be on file or of record in the proper Office, he will be reinstated as a Pensioner & an order given for the payment of his pension.

Sir,
Enclosed is an application for a pension, which has been returned from the War Office with an endorsement "requiring further evidence of service". The depositions of George Lee and John Waugh, both men of good standing, have been taken. It will be observed that they differ as to the name of the Captain, in whose company York performed his service. But the sound of Pickett & Pagott is so nearly alike that a mistake may have easily occurred. And a mistake in the Christian name may also have readily happened after the lapse of upwards of forty years.
I am respectfully
Your obt. Servt.
