On this ninth day of April 1870, before me the undersigned one of the Judges of the Circuit Court of the United States for the said District, personally appears Peter Kline aged fifty eight years, resident in Pompton Township in the said District, who being by me first duly sworn according to law doth on his oath make the following declaration in order to obtain the pension made by the late 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, That he the said Peter Kline deserted from the Trencham at York Island and enlisted at West Point in the State of New York in the Company commanded by Capt. Moody in the 2 d Regiment of Artillery commanded by Col. Lamb, that he enlisted for three years and served in the said Corps in the service of the United States the full term of three years, but at what particular time he enlisted or what particular time discharged he is unable to say, having lost his discharge & being unable to write or read. That he was discharged at West Point in the State of New York. That he was in no battle, and that he is in reduced circumstances & stands in need of the assistance of his Country for support, and that he has not the evidence necessary to his proof of his said services.
Sworn to and declared before me the day before aforesaid William Jennings Clerk
W. H. Rife Judge

I William S. Pennington hope be as a proof so certain that it appears to my satisfaction, that the said Peter Hise did serve in the revolutionary army as stated in the preceding declaration against the common enemy, and I now trans- mit the proceedings and testimony taken and had before me to the Secretary for the Department of War, pursuant to the direction of the aforementioned act of Congress. April 9 th 1818.
William Pennington
Clerk
I William Pennington Clerk of the District of New Jersey, do certify, that the signatures of this instrument are the proper hand writing of W m Pennington Esq r Judge of the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey.
In witness whereof my hands and the seal of the said District Court, at New Ark, this ninth day of April - Anno Domini 1818.
W m Pennington
Not having myself served as an officer in the Second Regi- ment of artillery I am well satisfied that the before named Lieutenant Peter Hise served in the said Regiment for nine months and longer, this conviction arises from the circum- stances which he related to me respecting the Regiment on his examination, independent of the Declaration in case, also I have no recollection of his person, but he could not have joined the Regiment until after its return from the Siege of York
