To the honourable Calhoun Secretary of war.
The petition of us the subscribers inhabitants of Coshocton County in the State of Ohio humbly sheweth, that Samuel Wiley, our neighbour is a man incapable to maintain himself; because of his bodily infirmity, which renders him incapable of manual labour; and the property which he now possesses is altogether inadequate to support him (which your honour will see from his schedule) as his piece of land is very poor, and chiefly lying in the woods, and he has no way of clearing it; it is of little use to him. Your honour will also see by his discharge that he has served his country six years and five months in the continental army, during the revolution war. We trust your honour will grant him the pension, to which we do think he is justly intitled; from his incapacity to support himself, which must chiefly arise from the hardships he endured for the liberty of his country; and not from any intemperance in his conduct, being a sober, temperate man. In granting him the pension, your petitioners will ever be in duty bound to pray.

This Certifies that I attended an Samuel Wiley in the summer of 1819 during a very severe fit of sickness that he informed me that he had not enjoyed good health for a number of years before - since his partial recovery he has frequently complained to me of debility & the loss of the use of his limbs and his inability to labour - I think that considering his advanced age poverty and infirmities that he is legally entitled to the pension for which he has made application.
I certify that Samuel Lee whose name & signature is subscribed to the above Certificate is a practicing physician in Coshocton, Coshocton County. State of Ohio -
