State of Pennsylvania Leicester County 3/4.
On the 27th day of October Anno Domini 1844. Personally appeared before me Emanuel Schaeffer one of the associate judges of the Court of Common Pleas in and for said County. Jane Maylin a resident of the Township of Rapho, in the County and State aforesaid, aged upwards of 84 years, who being first duly affirmed according to law, doth depose and say, in order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress passed the 4th day of July 1836, as follows: That she is the Widow of Jacob Maylin who served as a private soldier in the Revolutionary War.
That in the year 1775 her said husband joined Captain Greeff's company in the Borough (now City of Lancaster) and was marched from there to Philadelphia. I did not see him from that time until some time in December 1775, when he returned with Captain Greeff's company as one of the guards of the Hospital. He was absent about five months.
Shortly after his discharge, in the year 1777 he was again drafted for two months encampment under Captain Henry. To stand guard at the Barracks & Stockades, at the expiration of said time he was regularly discharged.
In the year 1778 he was again drafted for Captain Hubler's company to march to Shamokin. He did not return until sometime in the Spring of 1779, being absent in this campaign about eight months.
To the best of my knowledge in the year 1780 he was again drafted at Lancaster, under Captain Grubb, to stand guard at the Barracks & Stockades at Lancaster for two months, at the ex- piration of said time he was regularly discharged.
She further states that she was married to the said Jacob Maylin on the 18th day of March A.D. 1775, and that her said husband died on the 20th day of November A.D. 1822. She also states that she has remained his Widow ever since.

In the summer of the year 1775 Jacob Meeklin and My self were drafted in the Borough (now City) of Lancaster for Captain Graff's company, and were marched from there to Phil- adelphia. From thence we crossed the Schuylkill to New York; from thence we went to Long Island where we got into an engagement with the British. We retreated (with the loss of some of our men and camp equipage) back again to New York, during which time the British pursued us. From thence we retreated to Fort Wash- ington where we remained until the British came upon us.
From thence we retreated to Fort Lee, where we were engaged in for a few days in throwing up embankments. The British then arriving we retreated from there to New Brunswick. From thence we were marched to Trenton where we arrived a short time after the surrender of the Hessians. Our Company with several others were ordered to take the Hessian prisoners to Philadelphia, and from thence to the Lancaster Barracks. We arrived at Lancaster some time in December 1776 when we were regularly discharged.
The said Jacob Meeklin served faithfully during this cam- paign. Jacob Meeklin is the Widow of Jacob Meeklin, and has re- mained so since his death. Further deponent saith not.

Sir,
The affidavit which I handed you some two weeks since in the case of the claim of Mr. Mayhew, was intended to prove that there was no further record to be found, save that already communicated to your Bureau - May I request a speedy decision in this case - as by your last letter to me on the subject you admitted that a pension could be allowed for part of the time & the last paper, above referred to, makes out the whole period for which a pension is claimed.
Very respectfully yours.
