To the Secy. of the War office in William Huyck In Explanation to an objection at the War office to a Deput n in his application (the foregoing application) which relates to the particular time he served in at this time at this time cannot assure the day he entered or the day he was Dismissed, the latter time he never knew because he had (or received) no Discharge but expected to be called on, he therefore took the date not earlier than his Service commenced & ended before his Service ceased & his Witness laboured under the same uncertainty as to time. He will therefore define that, which will be within the known period of his Service

Dear John C. Spencer.
Dear Sir
Enclosed please find the a/c of Joseph Elliott which I hope will be satisfactory to the Department and enable Mr. Haysak  him to get his pension restored to him as he is certainly an object of Charity, his pension being his dependence for means of food & clothing. This delay has been to him I have no doubt a season of suffering, which creates sympathy among all who are acquainted with him him , and his his help- less situation accustomed from poverty & advanced age. But if I am disappointed in my hope, and it is not sufficient, please let me know what other proof it will be necessary to make. proof at this time is not very plenty, Capt. Franklin & Spaling both being dead and perhaps all of the Borne men except Mr. Haysak. who served under them.
Yours Very Respectfully Henry W. Haysak Standing Stone Browns Co. Pa.

J. L. Edwards Esquire Commissioner of Pensions
Sir
In Your Reply December 11 th 1841 to an Enquiry by Henry W. Tracy Esq r respecting the suspension of the Pension of William Hays of Bradford County Pa it is stated "That the reason for the suspension was because it is believed that the Company of Pennsylvania Militia to which he belonged was not raised by any law of that State: and unless it was called into service by State authority the service could not be considered of that character provided for by the Pension law: The services on which the claim of William Hays to Pension is founded was performed in and adjacent to the Wyoming Valley (now Luzerne County Pa) in the years 1778 1779 and 1780 at that time the acknowledged Jurisdiction of Pennsylvania did not extend to nor include that place. But it was claimed by the State of Connecticut under whose authority the Inhabitants and Claimants had the actual possession of adjacent to the Claims of Pennsylvania, and by whose Laws (Connecticut the Coun- try had always been governed. They neither expected or solicited assistance from the State of Pennsylvania. But previous to the destruction of the place the Inhabitants had applied to Congress for succour who authorized them to Enlist and Equip 10 Companies of 86 Men Each exclusive of Officers whom they Commissioned Extensively for the defence of the place But these Companies were soon called with their arms and ammunition furnished by the Citizens into service else where. Enabled by this Circumstance on the 3 rd day of July 1778 this place was destroyed by British Tories & Indians, and Most of the Men Massacred and those who escaped were driven off. But shortly after the Survivors with the feeble assistance of the remaining few of the two Companies then reduced in number to one, by order of Congress returned to the place (Wyoming) again and for defence of the Country against their enemies aforesaid who were daily killing all who were so unfortunate as to fall in their way associated together and Elected for leader or Captain John Franklin under whom they Enlisted a bound themselves to serve. At and about the same time Col. Zebulon Butler a Col of the 4 th Reg t in the Connecticut line was sent to take charge of the Defence of that place and of the few troops that were to be had (to wit) the remains of the former two Companies and the Company of Captain Franklin above mentioned who upon his requisition subjected them as Enlisted Soldiers to his Orders, and, under him

built and for several years, maned and kept the Garrison at Wilkesbarre which was then and ever since has been the most important place in Wyoming When in the Year 1779 Sullivan's Expedition against the Tories and Indians was planned and directed by the Commander in Chief and approved by Congress Captain Franklin's Company being required so to do Marched with General Sullivan and accompanied him through the whole or principal part of his Expedition in which some of the Company were killed and Captain Franklin himself severely wounded, and Company continued to serve until the End of the War With the Exception of the particular personal services of Mr. Hlayek I am either by observation or Notoriety at the time they took place acquainted With all the facts above stated, which if required can be abundantly proved by living Witnesses. If any thing in the above statement would then prove operative favourable to the application of Mr. Hlayek or any other should be thought important in a further investigation Will Mr. Colswell Please Commu- nicate it and direct to me or Mr. Hlayek Standing Stone Bradford County Pa - Mr. Hlayek is Old decipet Soery Poor maned in a few years from Wealth to needy Circumstances -

When he was eleven years old he moved with his family to Wysox, Bradford County, Pennsylv- ania, and in the summer of 1778 moved to the Wyoming Valley, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, and from October 1, 1778 served in Captain Simon Spal- ding's Company of Connecticut Troops, doing garri- son and military duty, he went in General Sullivan's Expedition against the Indians in Captain John Frank- lin's Pennsylvania Company, after which he served in the Fort at Wilkes-Barre under Captain Simon Spalding and Colonel Zebulon Butler and served until April 1,

1780.
He was allowed pension on his application executed July 28, 1832, while a resident of the Township of Wysox, Pennsylvania.
In 1841, he was a resident of Standing Stone, Bradford County, Pennsylvania.
There are no data as to family.
