Sir. I have the honor to return to the war department herewith enclosed the application of Patrick Limenick an extremely indigent, old and feeble Revolutionary soldier, who is such within my own knowledge, and for whom much sympathy has been excited and much pains taken to procure the evidence required, and which is now complete, on the testimony of the three credible and disinterested witnesses, as will be seen on an inspection of the papers. I hope he may be placed on the list of pensioners, and that you will have the goodness (in that event) to transmit me his certificate by the 7 th inst. or afterwards to Lanesville Ohio. —
With much respect and esteem,
I am Sir yours &c.

State of Pennsylvania, Beaver County ss. 3
Be it remembered that on the 22 nd day of April A.D. 1822, before me Daniel Christy a justice of the peace in and for the county of Beaver, personally came Neal M c Gerry a credible witness, who being duly sworn as the law directs, deponeth and saith that he served in and belonged to Colonel Thomas Hartley's regiment of Pennsylvanian troops on the continental establish- ment. That said Hartley lived in Little York in Pennsylvania, and that deponent enlisted in the year 1777. That he well recollects a fellow soldier named Patrick Limerick who belong- ed to the same company and who was a married man. That he recollects said Limerick served in the army three or four years, but has no particular recollection of the date or time of his discharge. He also recollects of the Captains who com- manded at different times, Capt. Ross, Capt. Walker, and Capt. Hopkins. That deponent has no interest in the appli- cation of Patrick Limerick, nor is he related to him in any manner whatever. And further deponent saith not.

Sir,
Yours 20 th Ult. about a week since came to hand - and I have refrained answering till now, that I might endeavour to recollect, though in vain, the poor old soldier, in whose case, your humanity is so interested - Though I can have no doubt that he is the very man he represents himself, yet, I am sorry there is no certain remembrance, on my mind, of such a person. Perhaps some gentleman coming to Congress, may have the goodness to search the pension books, and find some person still living of Hartley's or Irwin's regiments that may remember him - I imagine the list, if taken off and sent to you for his recollection , would be very short.
I am, Sir, Respectfully,
Your Obed. Serv t
