Personally appeared before Greenleaf Pickrell a justice of the Peace in & for said county and state aforesaid, Ebenezer Johnson, who says that he does not now know his own exact age, but believes that he is about 100 years old, or a little more, that his brother Joseph Johnson was about 15 months older than himself. He states that he is now very old & that his memory is defective as to dates, and that he can not be positive as to the time, himself & brother Joseph Johnson, were drafted or joined the Revolutionary army, but his memory induces him to say positively , that his brother Joseph Johnson & himself were drafted or volunteered at Fort Pitt, during the Revolutionary war, and that both himself and his brother Joseph Johnson served in the same company together for the term of six months or more and was discharged together at Fort Pitt. That the company in which they served was a regular organized company, commanded by Capt Philip Ross and Col Daniel Broadhead. He states further that the service above spoken of, he thinks was earlier than 1779. - he can not remember the year, at this time, - but he remembers that himself and brother Joseph Johnson were drafted or volunteered at Fort-Pitt in the very beginning of the summer, that is to say in the month of June or 1st of July - that him and his brother joined the Revolutionary army for a six months term, and they served throughout said time and were discharged about the 15 th of Dec. That during this first term, this Company

and the Reg t , was marched up Allegany river during the time, and killed a number of Indians on the Allegany river, at the place where the reg t - or army crossed the river. He further states that himself & his brother Joseph Johnson, afterwards enlisted as a minute man under Capt Charles Reed over Spies under Capt Thomas Reed , and that him and his brother Joseph served several times under said Reed s but the length of said service he can not now remember, nor can he now remember all the little facts and dates precisely, but he is very  certain that his brother Joseph Johnson & himself, served during the Revolutionary war, under the officers above named, and at different times, to the amount of nearly three years or more. This affiant states that at the time, he was drafted or joined the army at Fort Pitt as above stated, his brother Joseph Johnson & him- self lived in Westmorland Co. (now Allegany) and that at the time himself & brother enlisted as minute men under Capt. Charles Reed, they were living in Washington County Pennsylvania. Soon after the Revolution his affiant & his brother Joseph Johnson removed to Bourbon County Ky. and afterwards they both removed to this County, where this affiant still resides. He further states that his brother Joseph Johnson moved to Jackson County Indiana, where he died in May 1852. This affiant further states that Joseph Johnson left two children only , who survived him, Avis, who was married to John Blair, but who is now a widow (John Blair having died) and Delilah who was mar- ried to James Blair of Jackson County Indiana, when Joseph Johnson died in May 1852. This affiant states that she is not a pensioner, but has made appli- cation for a pension, which is pending before

page 9. The Pension Department, and this affiant states that him & his brother had several discharges which they lost shortly after the close of the Revolution, and both him and his brother, did not know that they were entitled to Pensions until about some time prior to making their applications. He states that he resides about 18 miles from the County seat of Fleming County, and had not the means of information within his reach, and no one to consult, or inform him in regard to his rights. He further states that after he learned that he was entitled to a pension by the laws, he was in easy circumstances, and did not think that he would ever need it, but he is now very old, and needs something, from the hands of his country. He states that him & his brother Joseph, have had frequent conversations in regard to their services in the Revolutionary army and both of them thought that the Gov. ought to give them something, but as they had lost their discharges they had concluded they would never get anything, and not having met with any one, who could give them any information, how to proceed to get a pension they were delayed in making their application, and these are the reasons, why both this affiant and his brother Joseph Johnson, did not make their application for pensions sooner, than they did. This affiant further states that he is not interested in the claim of said Joseph Johnson, nor was said Joseph Johnson at the time he gave his def. interest in the prosecution of the claim of this affiant. Said Joseph Johnson is now dead, and can not himself give the reasons why he did not apply sooner for a pension, but this affiant, will state that he has had frequent conversations with his brother Joseph as to the probability of their ever being able to get pensions, and

the facts, and reasons above stated are the causes, why this affiant and his brother Joseph, did not apply earlier for pensions.

Personally appeared before Greenbury Pickernell a justice of the peace in and for the county of Fleming and State of Kentucky, Henry Razor, who says that he is about 85 years old according to his best belief - that his father George Razor, moved to Washington Co. Pennsylvania, when this affiant was a very small boy, and this affiant lived both in Washington County and Westmorland County (now Allegany) and this affiant shortly after he went to Washington Co. became acquainted with Joseph Johnson and also Ebenezer Johnson, and that he has been acquainted with them ever since. This Affiant states that in Washington County and Westmorland County, Joseph Johnson, Ebenezer Johnson and this affiant lived close neighbors to each other, and often in the same fort together, and this affiant was well acquainted with both Joseph Johnson & Ebenezer Johnson at the time they joined the army at Fort Pitt, under Capt Philip Ross and Col Daniel Brodhead, and (living in the neighborhood at the of Fort Pitt) knows, both from reputation & his own observation that, said Ebenezer Johnson, and Joseph Johnson served in the Revolutionary army under Capt Philip Ross & Col. Daniel Brodhead, one term of six months or more - and this affiant further states that they also  at the time Ebenezer & Joseph Johnson, were either drafted or volunteered at Fort Pitt in the spring of the year and were discharged in December and this affiant believes that it was in the year of 1778 or 1779. This affiant states that he is at this living near Ebenezer Johnson, who has made application to obtain a pension and that with the exception of one year, this

affiant has from his earliest infancy, lived a neighbor to said Ebenezer Johnson. This affiant being but a boy during the revolutionary war, can not remember all the facts & occurrences of that period - but he is very positive that Joseph Johnson and Ebenezer Johnson served several tours in the Revolution and he is certain that both Joseph & Ebenezer Johnson served a tour of six months or more under Capt Philip Ross & Col. Daniel Broadhead. This affiant states that he himself rendered services in the later part of the revolutionary war, and that he is not a pensioner, but that he has made application for a pension that which is now pending before the pension department, if sent on by his attorney, and the reasons why he did not apply earlier than he did, were the following, - to wit: This affiant lived a long distance from the residence of an attorney, & there were no one that gave him any certain information, as the manner in which he could get his pension, until a short time prior to making his application. This affiant states that he had a discharge from Capt Stevenson, the officer under whom he served.

Enclosed, please find additional evidence, for the claim under the Act of June 7 1832, of Ebenezer Johnson of Ny, a surviving soldier of the Revolution.
It will be seen by the letter and certificate from the Auditor General of Penna. that the soldier's name is not on record in his office, but as the service was in the Militia the rolls of which are known to be very imperfect, I presume that the want of record evidence will not be considered a barrier to the allowance of the claim.
An early and careful examination of the claim is respectfully requested -
