The terms above stated obtained of Uriah Stevens were the best I could obtain.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and affixed the seal of said County this 27 th day of December 1823

To the honorable John C. Calhoun Secretary of war of the United States.
The Petition of Uriah Williams of Sangerfield in the County of Onida and State of New York humbly shews that he made application and received a pension certificate from the war Department under the Law of the 18 th March 1818. That he received a pension in conformity to the same up to the 4 th March 1820. In Sept. 1820 he appeared before the Court of Common Pleas of the County of Onida and exhibited a Schedule of his property and made the oath as required by the Law of the 1 st May 1820 his property was appraised by the Court and duly certified by the Clerk and the papers forwarded to the Secretary of war by the Hon. M c L. Miller first Judge of this County. But no answer has been received. At that time your petitioner was in possession of a piece of Land which was under a Mort- gage as set forth in the schedule. Since that time his creditors have drove for payment his Land is gone to satisfy the Mortgage he is turned out of possession and is become almost entirely destitute of any kind of property.
