Jacob Weatherholtz
Petitions & C

To the members of the House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled.
Your petitioner, Jacob Weatherstall of Buckingham County, Ky. would respectfully represent to your body that in the year 1818 he was inscribed on the Pension List of the Kentucky agency that in pursuance thereof he drew one payment from the U.S. of about $
That by the act of Congress of May 1820 and by a Regulation of the War Department Pensioners were required to bring themselves within its provisions as to amount of property owned &c. Your petitioner will state that he made application to be restored to the Pension Roll, to the War Department under the several Acts of Congress on that subject.
But on the 11 th of March 1823 the War Department decided against the claim of your petitioner, on grounds of your petitioner, not having satisfactorily accounted for the disposition of his property. Your petitioner will state that for his claim against the Government he will refer to the copy of his claim marked (A), made forth part of

Your Petitioner further states that he is an old man now about 68 years of age that his family consists of his wife two daughters & a son about 14 or 15 years of age and is a cripple and that nearly the whole support of his family falls upon himself by hard labor. Your Petitioner further states that for 4 or 5 years past, he has been a cripple and the greater part of his time unable to work for the support of his family, and when he can work at all it is with great bodily pain in consequence of a disease called the bloody flux. That the several changes in his property as set forth in his petition at various times were not made for the purpose of escaping his estate so as to bring himself within the acts of Congress, but for the support of his family & the payment of his just debts, that he now owns a small tract of poor land which is the greater part of his estate, which land he is not large able to cultivate nor would the rent of the same support his family.
Your Petitioner further states that he served at one time in the Revolu- tionary War about 3 years & a half and after wards volunteered & served about 9 months, & that in several battles

Service during his time of services all of which is more particularly set forth in his Pension Claim which will accompany this petition,
Your Petitioner therefore prays Congress to restore him to the pension list, as he is no longer able to support himself & family, the little property he possesses is the hard earnings of his better days, which he would soon be coming away to depend the government,
Your Petitioner as in duty bound will ever pray Jacob his  Weatherholt
Attest Henry John Doe

The undersigned beg leave to represent to the Representatives of the People of the United States of America in Congress Assembled, And to the Department of War,
That Jacob Weatherholt, who exhibits the foregoing Petition, is a man who the undersigned believe is justly entitled to a Pension from the General Govern- ment. They are well acquainted with Mr. Weatherholt, and believe him to be a man of strict integrity, and incapable of conveying away his property for the fraudulent purpose of bringing himself within the provisions of the various Pension Acts of Congress. He is a man who has deposited himself well, and what little property he has, has been made by the sweat of his brow, and what he has disposed of, since he was suspended from the Pension list, was done for the laudable purpose of paying his debts & supporting his family. The undersigned believe that Mr. Weatherholt was a faithful soldier in the Revolutionary War, and they know that he is now an old infirm and very much affect- ed man, very ill able to work for a living for himself & family which consists of himself, his wife, two daughters,

And a son who is a cripple, and consequently not able to render him much assistance in support of the family, His Circumstances are very humble, and of the diseases with which he is now afflicted grow upon him, he will not long be able to labour.
The undersigned in making this appeal in behalf of a neighbour, are only actuated by that sympathy which is common with the American people when they see a sage & Patriarch of the revolution sinking down to his grave in poverty & wretchedness when his life has been shortened by the hardships & exposure incident to a war,
