The State of Indiana } Scott County set } Personally appeared before me the undersigned a Justice of the Peace in & for said county Jacob Storm the forgoing named Applicant for a pension under the act of Congress passed June 7. 1832, who being duly sworn, deposeth and saith that by reason of old age, and the consequent loss of memory he cannot swear positively as to the cause of his name not being found upon the Virginia Rolls, but he can swear positively that he was regularly enlisted for three years as stated in his declaration, and that he continued & remained an enlisted soldier for the full length and term of three years for which he enlisted as a private soldier, that at the time he enlisted he was informed that there was a call for troops in the South, and he enlisted with the intention of marching there, and at the time he rendezvoused at Anderson's ferry on James River it was with the intention & under orders as he understood & believes for making preparations for marching to the South but on the day they rendezvoused at Anderson's ferry he was informed that the Officers had received orders that the call for troops in the South had abated & was not made, consequently his services not then being needed he with all his Company received furlough to return home & remain in readiness when called on, that he held himself in readiness during the three years for which he enlisted and was not called upon to perform duty, the cause why he

was not afterwards & during his enlistment, drafted, he believes was owing to his not being enrolled in any militia company, being considered a regular enlisted soldier for three years - he further states according to the best of his recollection he served as a private soldier in a company of regulars commanded by Capt. Ellis for three years as stated in my declaration aforesaid and for such service he claims a pension - he further states that he was born in York County Penn- sylvania the 3 d day of June 1762, I have no record of my age, I never received a regular written discharge from the service, I can name Friend Ferguson & Catharine Ferguson who can testify as to my character for veracity and their belief of my services as a soldier of the revolution.
