That he was in the battles of Brandywine Germantown and several skirmishes and that he has no other evidence of his said services except the affidavits of Philip Sherer and Henry Frank and a certificate of Col Thomas Procter.
And in pursuance of the act of the 1 st of May 1820 I do solemnly swear that I was a resident citizen of the United States on the 18 th 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 18 th 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, excepting a salary of twenty five dollars a year which I receive as Clerk of the Market in Winchester.
Two Drip kettles, one small kettle, six chairs, two tables, one side board, one tin plate stove, one walnut bureau, one desk and book case, one Iron pot stove, one stand and six knives and forks - besides bedding and wearing apparel.
That I am a Blacksmith by occupation, but can do but little at the business I have no family excepting my wife who is sixty three years of age and very infirm, and a grand daughter about six years of age.
That the reasons that I have not applied for a pension before now were, that I had a house and lot and some land in possession but which have since been sold for debts which I owed on my own account and as security for other persons that I was able to earn money by the business business, and that I have for years first held the office of Clerk of the Market and Superintendent of the Police in Winchester by which means I was able to obtain a scanty support but being now deprived of all my property and having to give up the office of Superintendent of the Police I am under the necessity of applying to my country for its bounty to enable me to support myself and family.

S. M. Saltzgaber,
Dear Sir:
In answer to my request for the military record of Conrad Krenner, I received the reply - "It is not the practice of this Bureau to furnish the same statement more than once to the same person", having forwarded the record of Conrad Krenner S. F. 19.372 Rev war in Dec. 29. 1917.
The State Librarian of Va. H. R. McIlwain, gave records of two men by the same name, Conrad Krenner, and same county Frederick Co. Va. One placed upon

The pension roll Jan 15 th 1827 to receive $96 per mo.
The other Jan 15 th 1833 to receive $180.
The record of this last you forwarded to me in Dec. 1917. If they are one and the same Leonard Krum - I regret very much the annoyance as it was the fault of the librarian not my own. Thanking you I am

Miss Nanie Vale, 607 South Freedom Ave., Alliance, Ohio.
Madam:
In response to your letter dated the ninth instant, relative to Conrad Kremer, Survivor's File No. 19,372, you are advised that he is the only soldier of that name found on the Revolutionary War records of this Bureau.
The papers on file in his claim show that he was pensioned under the Acts of 1818 and 1832, as reported by the Secretary of War in 1835, which report is inaccurately stated by the Librarian of the State of Virginia.
The Secretary's report shows that Conrad Kremer was pensioned for his services as a Private, at $96 per annum under the Act of March 18, 1818; that he was dropped from the rolls under the Act of March 1, 1820; and " again pensioned ", under the Act of June 7, 1832 at $180 per annum for his services as a Quartermaster's Sergeant.
From this you will see that the papers and report both refer to one man, and that the State Librarian of Virginia omitted the very important words "again pensioned".
Very respectfully,
C. Newman Acting Commissioner.
