At a Circuit Court of Common Pleas, begun and held at Portland, within and for the County of Cumberland, on the first Tuesday of March, in the year of our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and twenty-one.
On this sixth day of March, in the year of our Lord above written, personally appeared in open Court, the same having "the power of fine and imprisonment," and being a Court of Records for said County, Isaac M c Kenney, aged seventy seven years, resident in Danville in said County, who being first duly sworn according to law, doth on his oath make the following declaration in order to obtain the provision made by the Acts of Congress of the 18th March 1818, and the first of May 1820, That I enlisted in the year service in the company commanded by Captain Crocker; I served the year out; I then enlisted for three years in the company commanded by Captain Skillins, who was killed at Skeneateborough; Captain Thomas then commanded the company, in the Regiment commanded by Colonels Francis and Tupper; I served my three years out. I have been a pensioner, agreeably to a certificate issued by John Lucas, Commissioner of Pensions, dated at Boston, January 17th A D 1789, by which I was entitled to twenty shillings per month, commencing on the 17th March A D 1786, which has heretofore been paid in Boston; and which pension I now relinquish in order to obtain the provision of the aforesaid Acts of Congress, which I hope will be granted me to commence from the fourth of March instant; and I do request that I may be transferred to the Maine Agency. And I do solemnly swear that I was a resident citizen of the United States on the 18th day of March 1818; and that I have not since that time by gift, sale, or in any manner disposed of my property, or any part thereof, with intent thereby to diminish it as to bring myself within the provisions of an 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," passed on the

18th day of March 1818: and that I have not, nor has any person in trust for me, any property or securities, contracts or debts due to me; nor have I any income other than what is contained in the schedule hereto annexed, and by me subscribed; that my occupation and ability to pursue the same, together with the number and other particulars of my family, are in fact and in truth as is particularly described on the back thereof, also subscribed by me

Madam:
I advise you from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, S. 37234, it appears that Isaac McKenney enlisted and served one year as a private in Captain Crocker's Massachusetts Company, and three years in Captains John Skillin's and Samuel Thoms' Company, Colonels Francis' and Benjamin Tupper's Massachusetts Regiment. During this service he lost his left hand, details not given.
On account of the above disability, he was allowed pension from March 17, 1786.
In 1821 he was a resident of Danville, Cumberland County, Maine, aged seventy-seven years, and then referred to his wife, Hannah, aged seventy-eight years. There are no further data on file relative to his family.
This is the history of the only soldier named Isaac McKenney, all spellings of the surname searched, found on the Revolutionary War records of this bureau.
Respectfully,
E. W. MORGAN Acting Commissioner.
