Personally appeared before me the subscriber a justice of the peace in and for said County in the State of Pennsylvania James Lueh of the said County who being duly sworn according to law did depose and say that he enlisted in the Continental Line of the Army of the Revolution for and during the war, and continued in its service until its termin- ation, at which time he was a private in Captain Jacob Dewart Company. That this deponent enlisted about eighteen months before the end of the war in to the said Company then at Pienpack (so called) in the State of New York, and served in said Company principally in the State of New York until he received his discharge from the Captain of the said Company at the termination of the war. This deponent further saith that he is now about twenty five years old - that he never could read writing - That he believes he received a Certificate for the reward of eighty dollars to which he was entitled under the resolve of Congress of 1778 - That about one hundred and fifty dollars of wages for his said services were due to him at the time of his discharge, as evidence of which he received, he believes, a Certificate from the said Captain Dewart. That this deponent was subsequently offered in payment of his said wages Continental money, which at that time was of little or no value, and which he therefore refused to receive. And that he has never since that time received any thing in payment of his said wages. And this deponent further saith that the discharge and certificate which he received from Captain Dewart are now lost - and further saith not.

Dear Sir - I here enclose to you the evidences of the revolutionary services of James Dnick. It amounts to proof positive of his enlistment for "during the war", and of his having rec d after its termination an honorable discharge from his Captain, and also of the general notoriety of the fact of his having been a soldier of the revolution, who enlisted for, and served during the war. The evidence, I believe, brings his case fully within the provisions of the late Act of Congress, and is in kind, the best which the nature of the case will admit of, unless there could be produced the testimony of some one who served with him; which would probably be impossible, there being so few, if any of them now living. One of his mess-mates, a man by the name of James Becker, a few years ago resided near Newtown in the State of N.York and was then drawing a pension under the provisions of the old law. Since I saw you at Towanda Mr Dnick sent to obtain his deposition, and I have just rec d a letter stating that "he removed from Southport (near Newtown) six years ago to Coxsille, supposed to be in Allegany County N.Y. forty miles beyond Bath". He was then in poor health, and it very doubtful whether he be now alive.
Mr Dnick lives a neighbor to my father - I have been acquainted with him from my infancy, and am knowing to the notoriety of his revolutionary services. In addition to his claim upon the gratitude of his Country, he has a manifest claim upon the justice of government, arising from the non-payment of 150, $ of his monthly

images, as appears by his statement under oath. Hence if there be any old soldier, to whom the benefits contemplated by the late Act of Congress ought to extend, it appears to me, it should be to Mr. Quick.
Trusting that you will have the goodness to have the enclosed evidence presented to the proper Department, with a view to have his name placed upon the Pension list.
I have the honor to be Very respectfully
Your friend & Servt
Alpheus Hugham
