State of Ohio Sorain County } ss. Be it known that before me John L. Irvine a justice of the Peace in and for the county and state aforesaid personally appeared Henry Onstine a resident of the township of Ash- hurst in the county of Lorain and state of Ohio aged fifty six years who after being first duly sworn according to law doth depose and say that for more than thirty years he has been personally and intimately acquainted with Sophia Saddler who is the widow of Christopher Saddler late a resident of the township of Brien Cuyahoga County Ohio That from the time of his first acquaintance with Sophia and Christopher and which took place at the same time they then lived together and were reputed as man and wife and continued so until the death of Christopher which took place in March A.D. 1839 That the said Christopher and Sophia were the parents of a large family of children of whom John Saddler is the eldest now living and is now upwards of fifty years of age and William Saddler another son of the said Christopher and Sophia is now upwards of fifty five years of age The said John and William are residents of the aforesaid township of Brien That in the fall of the year 1833 at the request of the said Christopher Saddler deponent accompanied him to Cleveland the County seat of the aforesaid Cuyahoga County for the purpose of aiding him in applying for a pension on account of the Revolutionary service he performed That the said Christopher Saddler did then make his application before the Court of Common Pleas of said County and gave a narration of his services and the names of the Officers under whom he served That if Deponent's memory serves him right he claimed to have performed service under Count Pulaski and as a Dragoon and was several years in service Deponent

was afterwards informed by the Attorney who superintended the application of the said Christopher that his application failed on account of some informality in the proceedings and that if the said Christopher would come before the Court again he would succeed in his application. But that about that time he the said Christopher became blind and very infirm and living in an extreme portion of the County was never able to prosecute further his claim to a pension. Deponent from his long and intimate acquaintance acquaintance with the said Christopher his wife and family is satisfied that said Christopher was a meritorious soldier of the Revolution and that he was married to the said Sophia upwards of thirty years ago. The said Sophia was a native of Pennsylvania and her maiden name was Sophia Gertz or Gertz she now resides in said Township of Dover and has not intermarried since the death of the said Christopher but is still his widow. The reason of deponent's particular knowledge of the said Christopher Sophia and family arises from the fact that in the year 1818 - deponent was married to a daughter of the said Christopher and Sophia, said daughter is now deceased.

State of Ohio Franklin County ss I, Clerk of said Court do hereby certify that before me John G. Irvine a justice of the Peace in and for said county personally appeared Bina B. Chapman a resident of Elyria in said county of lawful age who being first duly sworn according to law doth depose and that that he was employed by said Sophia Saddler widow of Christopher Saddler to assist in drawing up her Declaration which Declaration is herunto annexed. That in drawing up said Declaration he left out some things of which he was informed concerning the said Christopher Saddler etc. She claimed that he was a German by birth and first came into the United States about the year 1877 as a soldier in Burgey's Army. That he was taken prisoner about the nine days before Burgey was surrendered. That he was taken to Schenectady New York where he was kept a prisoner until the Spring of 1878 when he enlisted as a private into an Independent Corps under the command of General Count Pulaski. That he had another officer who was either his Col. or Captain whom he called Horwatz and that the said Col. or Capt. Horwatz was an under officer under Pulaski and that his service under said Pulaski & Horwatz was as a Dragoon or nearly so as he rode a horseback and carried a carbine and sabre. That she was married to the said Christopher about the year 1881 or 82 at near Reading Pa. and that her maiden name was Sophia Ortz or Ortz. That she was born & mostly during her youth in Coalville Township, Luzerne County Pennsylvania. Some of the facts were told me by the family of the old lady's mind has become infirm. That I have examined the records of the Court of Common Pleas said Luzerne County and find that on the 30th of October 1883 the said Christopher did make his application for a pension as stated in the Declaration of the said Sophia. But from what I have learned I have my doubts whether the papers in the said claim were ever forwarded to the Pension Office. I also further state that the family record herewith transmitted is the identical one mentioned by the said William Saddler in his affidavit herewith annexed and that I cut the same from his family Bible and believe it to be genuine. I can further state that the said William and John Saddler knew the

appearance of being of the full age they state and I can further say of Henry Christian the other witness that I have known him for many years that he has long been a resident of this county and that he is a man of truth and is esteemed a very worthy citizen.

Hon S. P. Waldo Com d of Pensions Sir
I have the honor to enclose herewith a power of Attorney executed by the Reins of Sophia Sadler of the State of Ohio whose claim under act of July 7 th 1838 has been suspended.
I hope to be enabled to file additional evidence in the case sufficient to establish the claim before it comes up for examination.
Very Respectfully Your obed t Serv t . S. M. Pringle.

Pension Office June 26. 1849
Sir,
The papers in the case Sophia Sadaler widow of Thomas Christopher Sadaler have been examined and filed under the act 7 July 1838.
We cannot admit this claim upon the evidence now furnished. Neither the service of Applicant's husband nor the date of their marriage have been satisfactorily established. The alleged service under General Pulaski is not sustained by the Rules of the Legion under the Command of this Office in this Office. The only name upon these Rules that at all resembles that of Mrs Sadaler's husband is Christopher Schramm who is returned as having deserted in Oct 1779. Clear and satisfactory proof of the showing that Sadaler underwent not less than 6 mo actual service is required to entitle Applicant to a pension. The claim of Christopher Sadaler under the act of

June 1832 was presented by J. M. Foster of Cleveland to whom the papers were returned in January 1834. These papers should be again filed in this office if they can now be found. Some portion thereof as to the date of the marriage of these parties should be admitted. The papers up until the  present  now  being to contain the family records does not bear that evidence of age that would make it conclusive upon this point.

Gentlemen:-
Will you advise me as to the possibility of procuring a certified copy of the application for pension in claim "R" File No. 9135, Revolutionary War, and if so, what will be the cost of the same?
Are you able to advise me whether your records show that John Tryon received a pension for his services in the Revolutionary War? At the time of his death he was a resident of Ohio and had a daughter by the name of Elizabeth and another by the name of Mary. He was of English descent, and I am informed that his first name was "John", although I am unable to make that statement positively.
If your records disclose that such a pension application was filed or granted, I would appreciate the information and the cost of obtaining a certified copy of the application therein.
Yours very truly,
Earl R. Stewart Earl R. Stewart.
