And this declaration states that his father was a soldier in the army of the revolution and as he believes served nearly two years in the whole but he is unable to state particularly in what companies or the length of each service -
He has heard his father Thomas Linnen say that he was in the Penobscot Expedition and also that he served in the years 1780 & 1781. He received an injury while under the command of Col. Mc Cobb in the revolutionary war on account of which he drew a pension at the rate of $96 per annum but never made an application for the benefit of the act of 1832 - This applicant therefore claims the same to be computed agreeably to the Evidence herunto annexed -
And he further states that his father Thomas Linnen died on the twenty ninth day of January A.D. 1841 and that his mother the wife of said Thomas died on the fourth day of October

1842 and that they left the following children to wit - Elizabeth Murphy Agnes Bowker Mary Butler John Lennon James Lennon & Martha Nichols

The evidence in support of the claim of the heirs of Thomas Lawrence showed that he served as Corporal from June 26th to Sept 24th 1779 2 mos 29 days - in Capt Linsells Co.
In Capt Parkers Company from May 6th to Dec 1st 6 mos 25 days as Sergeant.

Sir
Therewith enclose the application of the children of Thomas Lennan for the benefit of the act of 1832. Thomas Lennan was an Invalid Pensioner of the U.S. and as such drew a pension for the last year of his life of $96 per annum. He never claimed the benefit of the act of 1832, in his life time. The evidence here adduced shows a sum of 2 mos 29 days as corporal in 1779 under Capt Lemoine and 6 mos & 25 days as Sgt under Capt Parker in 1781. He was in Capt John Hinckley's Company when wounded, but the rolls in Mass. afford no evidence of the service of Thomas Lennan in that Company. If the service in Capt Hinckley's Company is a different service than any which is specified in the certificate, it will undoubtedly appear by reference to his original declaration and the proof therein contained.
