X To the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States in Congress assembled Your memorialist Simon Newton respect- fully represents, that he was born in the State of Virginia, on the 3 d day of April 1755 , and at the early age of sixteen, to wit in the year 1771 , accompanied by only two other persons, came to the country now composing the State of Kentucky with a view of exploring it, and never returned to his native State, even on a visit, till after the treaty of peace in 1783. That within that period he was almost constantly engaged in the service of his country. As early as 1774 he was ac- tually engaged in the campaign of Lord Dunmore, then Governor of Virginia. That upon the Revolutionary war breaking out, he, together with the other explorers of the fine country on the Ohio, betook themselves to Stations, which they fortified in the best manner their means would admit, being resolved to use their best efforts to prevent the country from be- ing overrun and subdued by the Savage allies of Great Britain; and in the de- fence of those stations, and of the country he was engaged in a multitude of battles and skirmishes with the Indians. He also rendered important services as a spy, and in one of his expeditions of that kind, to wit in September 1778, he was taken a

prisoner by the Indians, and retained in captivity until the July following, when he made his escape from them and got safely back to Kentucky. That he endured great hardships and privations as well while he was with the Indians as on his return. He states that besides the many and important services he rendered in defending the country against the invasions of the enemy, he was with General George Rogers Clarke in his expeditions in the years 1778, 1780, and 1782, the first of these campaigns commenced in June of that year, and it was whilst he was on a spying expedition in September of that year he was taken a prisoner by the Indians as stated above.
Your memorialist will not descend into farther particulars of the services rendered by him, but he would beg leave to suggest that he believes they were of great importance to his native State in preserving to her the fine territory which now constitutes the State of Kentucky, and that thus was laid the foundation of securing to the National Government the extensive and fertile Territory, North West of the Ohio, which the liberal and generous policy of Virginia induced her to cede to the National Government, without any compensation therefor.
Your memorialist shows that after having spent the best energies of his life in

emerge from barbarism so fine a country, he is himself, at the age of nearly seventy four years, destitute of the means of comfort- able subsistence, without the aid and assistance of his friends. He therefore feels justified in applying to his country for such aid, as in its bounty, it may think proper to render. He makes this application, with the more confidence because because he has seen, with great satisfaction, that the Congress of the United States has made a most liberal and benificent provision for the officers and soldiers of the Revolution. But as his case is not provided for, because he was not in service upon the Con- tinental establishment. If however his services have been equally important - and that they have been , he confidently appeals to the history of the country, and the historical knowledge of the members of your honorable body - he humbly hopes his few remaining days will be cheered by the same liberal provision which has been made for the other defenders of an Common country.

When the Revolutionary War broke out, he, with the other settlers on the Ohio, fortified themselves as best they could in stations, and in the defense of these stations against the attacks of the Indians, was in many battles and skirmishes. He served as a spy and carried communications between the stations at a great risk. He was with General George Rogers Clark in many expeditions, and in the expedition to Kaskaskia, Simon Kenton was taken prisoner in September, 1778 by the Indians and held until he made his escape July following, and returned to Kentucky, and continued to serve under General Clark during 1780 and 1782, and conducted a company, dates not stated.

An act for the relief of Genl Simon Kenton.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That the Secretary of War be, and he is, hereby authorized and required to place General Simon Kenton upon the list of Revolutionary Pensioners, and to pay to him at the rate of Twenty dollars a Month to commence on the first day of January One thousand eight hundred and twenty five.
Sec 2 d And be it further enacted, that the Pension aforesaid shall be paid out of any moneys in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated in the same manner that other Pensions are now paid. Approved 28 May 1830

Dept. of State } N. P. Smith June 5. 1830 }

To the Honorable the Congress of the United States The Subscribers, Citizens of the State of Kentucky & Ohio beg leave to represent to your Honorable body the claims which they believe Gen Simon Kenton to have, as well upon the justice as upon the gratitude of the nation.
At a very early day he adventured to the western Country and took a very active part in all the Wars with the Savages, to which its infant settlements were subjected. When there were but three stations or forts in Kentucky he was engaged most actively as a spy in communicating intelligence from one to the other, at the constant hazard of his life from the hostile Indians, to the great advantage and security of the white population. In all places of danger, when duty called, he was to be found. When it was to preserve Kentucky from British and Indian invasion the gallant and patriotic Clark deemed it essential to possess himself of Shaskashias , Kenton was with him, and subsequently he was constantly engaged in the most active duty until the treaty of Greenville in 1795. It can with truth be said with certainty that there now lives no man in the West who has done so much for its infant settlements as Kenton. And when it is considered that the efforts in the West made by the people of Kentucky, preserved in a great degree the frontiers of Virginia & Pennsylvania from invasion, during the revolutionary war, it must be conceded that such a diversion of force had a happy and salutary effect upon the war generally. altho' Genl. Kenton has thus long faithfully and efficiently served his country and being advanced to his 70 th year yet by untoward circumstances he is reduced to want. He has reared a large family - and is without the means of providing for them.
Under these circumstances it is

Respectfully submitted to the representatives of that very nation for which he has devoted, with so much effect, the prime of his life, whether they will permit him to die neglected and forgotten - Another instance of the ingratitude of Republics, or whether assuming a genuine magnanimity, honorable to the character of our free institutions and of the people they represent, they will appropriate to him a liberal portion of the waste lands of the country, or such other gratuity as may render the close of his days as happy as his life has been useful?

Genl. Simon Kenton
Petitioner appears to have been very actively engaged from the year 1771 till the peace of 1783 as a spy & volunteer against the Indians in the country now known by the name of the State of Kentucky. I was engaged in many skirmishes & battles with the Indians - in Sept 1778 was taken prisoner by the Indians and detained in captivity till the spring following when he made his escape from them - was with Genl. George Rogers Clarke in the years '78 '81 & '82. He is not mentioned in Kenton's petition but Mr. Hicklin certifies also that Kenton was also in the first campaign of Genl. Wayne in 1793. Kenton is now old & reduced by misfortune to poverty. A large number of the citizens of Kentucky certify in his favour. There cannot be a doubt of the importance of the services of Genl. Kenton. The only question is as to the capacity in which he acted. But the petitioning case is not within the scope of any rules hitherto adopted by Congress in relation to pensions.
The committee are therefore com-

-Spotted, reluctantly to offer the following resolution.
Resolved that the committee be discharged from the further consideration of the Petition & documents of Simon Newton.

The petition has been transmitted to Mr. Chambers as he presumes in consequence of Genl. Kenton's being in Kentucky when it was drafted. The Honble Richd. M. Johnson of the Senate, George Graham Esq. Registrar of the General Land Office and Mr. Chambers will be able to give as much information on the subject of Genl. Kenton's services as any other persons now within the reach of the Committee to whom the petition may be referred.

X I certify that I came to Kentucky in the summer of 1777; and in the fall of the same year became acquainted with Simon Kenton at Logan's Station; with whom I have had more or less intercourse ever since. He was at the time referred to employed as a spy, as I understood he had been, for some time previously. He was active, enterprising and confidential. He was generally deputed on the most dangerous and difficult enterprises; never failing to give entire satisfaction. No man of that day in Kentucky rendered more, if as much, hard service than he did.
In 1778, col. George Rogers Clark carried on a successful expedition against Kaskaskias and its dependencies. In this expedition Kenton took part as well as myself. He acted with his usual good conduct. After the fall of Kaskaskias he was sent, by col. Clark with despatches, in company with two others, to col. John Bowman in Kentucky. They were

directed to take Vincennes in their route, then in the possession of the enemy - to reconnoitre the same & to report its condition to Clark. This service was performed.
I did not see Kenton again un- til July 1779. met with him at Vin- cennes, in company with some Ken- tuckeans, who assembled there to proceed on the expedition which Clark contemplated against De- Clark; but which was abandoned because of the want of an adequate force. Had very little intercourse with him afterwards until 1784; when we made the first settlement in this county near where Wash- ington is now located. Being im- mediately on the frontier we were much exposed to Indian depredations until the final success of the of the 20th August 1794. During this critical period, Kenton, who commanded a company, was actively and efficient- ly engaged in protecting and defend- ing the new settlements. I believe I can truly say that no one in

rendered near so much service as he did. He was also on the first campaign of Genl. Wayne in 1793.
I have understood of other and important services that Genl. Kenton has rendered to the country in a military capacity, of the truth of which I have no reason to doubt; but of these I have no personal knowledge.
Given under my hand in the county of Mason and State of Ken- tucky this 2 nd day of December 1828.

Pension Office, Jan'y 18, 1860.
Sir,
In answer to the enclosed letter of Mr. William M c Kenton, I have the honor to state that Simon Kenton was pensioned under a Special Act of Congress, at approved May 28, 1830, at rate of $20 per month. From his memorial, and statements  testimony submitted to Congress, and from evidence of record in this office it appears that he served as a spy, and for a portion of the war of the revolution as a Captain of the militia attached to Clark's forces operating in the North Western Territory. His Service in the militia, however meritorious, did not entitle the party performing it to the benefit of the laws passed by the Continental Congress and by the State of Virginia granting Land, half-pay, or commutation. The act of the Virginia Legislature to which Mr. Kenton refers was passed at the May session of the Legislature in 1779.

and promises half-pay to the officers of companies in the  certain battalions of the State or Continental establishment, and in the  certain regiments of State Troops, which are particularly mentioned in the act of 5th July 1832, which assumes the payment of the  the half-pay, by the United States. Clark's Regiment proper is named in said act; but the  not within the said act of Congress, nor the act of Virginia of 1779 embraces the officers of the militia who are also under Clark's Command, and with his Regiment, though not forming a part of it in his Northwestern Expedition.
No land or money is due the heirs of Keaton from the United States, under existing laws. with great respect
