On this 25 th day of September 1818 before me the undersigned one of the Circuit Judges for the Commonwealth aforesaid personally appeared Helix McElhany aged about 83 years resident Harrison County in said State who being by me first duly sworn according to law doth make the following declaration in order to obtain the provision made by the act of Congress entitled an act to provide for certain persons engaged in the land and naval service of the United States in the Revolutionary war. That in the beg beginning of the year 1776 he thinks about the first  the month of January he enlisted for one year as a private soldier in Capt David Greer's Company belonging to the 7 th Pennsylvania Regiment on the Continental establishment and continued to serve in said company as a private soldier until he was taken prisoner by the British at the battle of the Three Rivers Towns in Lower Canada in the month of June 1776. That he remained a prisoner with the British on board of a prison ship about four months and a half then paroled.

is permitted to return home but that he was not exchanged until some time after his term of service had expired & consequently did not get a the exchange. That he was not in any battle except the one in which he was taken prisoner. That he has no other evidence now in his power of his said services & that from his reduced circumstances in life he stands in need of assistance from his Coun- try for support. He further states that although he cannot recollect the exact time of his enlist- ment, he is well satisfied that the time he was in actual service combined with the time of his imprisonment amounts to more than nine months.
I sworn to & declared before me the day & year first aforesaid.
John Trimble
I John Trimble Judge of the Harrison Circuit Court in the State of Kentucky do certify that it appears to my satisfaction that the said Helen McClellan did serve as a private sol- dier in the revolutionary war as stated in the preceding affidavit against the common enemy for

about five months on the continental establishment  to that he was a prisoner on board of a prison ship with the British 10. about four months making in all about one months & I now transmit the evidence to ta- ken & the proceedings had to the Secretary for the Department of war. I do further certify that from the reduced circumstances in life stand in need of assistance from his Country for support.
In Testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand & sealed the seal of the Harrison circuit Court to be offered the day and year first above written
John Wimbble
To the Honble the Secretary of war Sir There is a misapprehension of the terms of Mr. McIlhany's declaration  enlistment . He does not state that he does not recollect the term of his enlistment but that he does not recollect the exact time when he enlisted. A review of his declaration will correct the misapprehension. Herewith is enclosed an affidavit of James Shaw which states that Mr. McIlhany enlisted on the in January 1876

Honorable W. F. Kopp House of Representatives
My dear Mr. Kopp:
In response to your letter of the 24th instant, I have the honor to advise you that from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, S. 41848, it appears that FELIX McILHANY enlisted late in 1775 or about January 1st, 1776, place not stated, and served as private in Captain David Grier's Company, Colonel Irvine's Pennsylvania Regiment; he was taken prisoner at the battle of Three Rivers, carried to Quebec and placed on a prison ship where he was held for about four months, after which he was released on parole and exchanged, having been in service about one year.
He was allowed pension on his application executed September 21, 1818, at which time he was sixty-three years of age and a resident of Harrison County, Kentucky.
In 1820 the soldier referred to his wife (her name not stated) as being sixty-three years of age and he also referred to the following children: Mary, aged forty-two; Sarah, aged twenty-seven; Rebecca, aged twenty-five; and William, aged twenty-three years.

His wife died in March, 1829.
In 1831 he stated that he had recently moved to Logan County, Ohio, to live with his daughter, her name not stated.
This is the only soldier by the name of Felix McIlhany (searched under all spellings of the name) found on the Revolutionary War records of this Bureau.
The Revolutionary War records of this Bureau fail to afford any information in regard to a Joseph Diltz.
Very truly yours,
WINFIELD SCOTT Commissioner

Sir,
The papers in the case of Felix W. Shary, which you left with me this morning have been examined. I find them all properly drawn up and authenticated as the regulations direct; but I cannot restore his name to the roll, under existing regulations, as they do not authorize me to place any man's name on the Revolutionary Pension Roll, whose property exceeds $300, and by the enclosed schedule it would seem that the claimant's property is worth $370.
I have the honor to be,
Very respectfully,
Your Obet. Servt.

Three hundred dollars cannot be assumed as the safe criterion in all cases, to determine whether an applicant stands in need of the assistance of his Country. Owing to the peculiar state of our family, we now may with three hundred dollars be much better off, than another with double the amount. Here is a helpless, blind & decrepit family, with a small piece of land, constituting almost their entire property, & which from their peculiar situation they are unable to cultivate. Let the application be admitted from this date

Col. R. H. Johnson Washington City

Harrison County November court 1829
Dear Col.
I have with much zeal, and considerable interest, for the benefit of Felix McWhang; attended to the preparation of his papers; all is done according to your direction, that was practicable; the land has not been reconveyed from his children to him, for that is next to impossible, several of them living in the state of Ohio, some of Orphan children &c.
I therefore concluded that it would, do nearly as well, to list the land among the other property in the schedule, and in fact it was all we could do, under existing circumstances. for
Whether the land was reconveyed and put in the schedule, or put in without a conveyance, could make no difference, as to its value.
You will see that the whole amount of property (of which the land is $325) amounts to only $370.37 1/2.
If I mistake not the land in the first schedule was valued to near $700, and you yourself must know the mighty difference between the value of lands in 1820 and at present? And further this land was never more than 2nd rate, the best of it, and but little of that quality, the greater part being of a 3rd quality; the best is siding ground, & the best of that, has to my knowledge been in cultivation for more than 30 years, the fencing is out of repair, he can't repair it, nor could any person be got that would take it, and put it in repair, and pay rent sufficient to keep the old MAN, to say nothing of his family.
And I do verily believe if he don't get some help by a pension he will become chargeable to the county; . . . For I do assure you the account in his declaration of himself and family, is no exaggeration; I have lived his neighbour for upwards of 30 years and I know all to be true, And beside his wife died last March who was the main support of the old family.
The land and other property was valued by John Berry Esq., Mr. Abraham McVay, Mr. William Martin & Col. G. W. Berry all men of good standing and acting upon oath.
He has endeavoured to shew how some of the property that was in

Gent Perrin

first schedule has been disposed of, and I make no doubt but all all of it could have been accounted for, but as the amount was small only $25 he thought hardly worth while to put himself to much expense about; For it will appear from an examination of his first schedule he owed about $40, in this, he states, he owes very little.
The Old man thinks that under extant circumstances, perhaps, that if his name is again put on the pension list, you could get him some means of pension; but of this you will be a better judge than me.
If it should be necessary for me to make oath about the loss of Peter McWhang's original certificate I am willing to do it at any time, I do, I hereby certify that I had it, and that I have made diligent search for it, but can't find it.
As therefore the business can't get on without my Aidant, write me immediately; and at any event let me hear from you on that subject, and any other that you may think interesting.
I shall close this letter after enjoining it on you, to say to Maj BROWN, I still think of him; and if my well wishes, could give him peace, prosperity & happiness, he would soon enjoy all the blessings of this life, with just enough of alloy, to make them blessings to him, and ensure a state of preparedness for an hereafter, and
For yourself rest assured of the esteem & friendship of
Your Humble Servant Josephus Perrin

My dear Commissioner:
One of my constituents thinks that Joseph Diltz of New Jersey was a soldier in the Revolution and that Feliz McElhaney of Virginia was likewise a soldier in the Revolution. He would like to know definitely whether his belief is well founded.
Do you have any records which would throw any light on this question?
Very sincerely yours,
