My Dear Sir

The State of Ohio
Personally appeared before the subser- vjudge of the Supreme Court of Ohio Redmont McDonaugh who being duly sworn states that in the year he enlisted in the Continental Army under Captain Brown in Pennsylvania, for three years or during the war - That a few months after his enlistment he was transferred with his company to the sixth regiment of Virginia Troops in Carteret establishment, commanded by Col. Hendricks on which regiment he continued to serve until the battle of Brandy Wine, where he was taken prisoner by the British, by whom he was detained prisoner between fifteen and sixteen months, and then released on parole as he was informed and believes. That immediately after his release, he reported himself to the captain of his company John Smith who gave him a certificate of his having reported himself after his release from imprisonment aforesaid. The said McDonaugh further states that he is now seventy two or three years old, and from the infirmities of age, is unable to labor and that his circumstances in life are so reduced that he cannot procure the necessaries of life and that he needs the assistance of his govern- ment.

The enclosed Memorandum of Mr Morrow shows, that the evidence to substan- tiate Mr McDonaugh's claim for a pension under the late law of Congress, is now in the War Department - which, with the above affida- vit will probably be deemed sufficient. Mr McDonaugh wishes his warrant to be sent to him at Lebanon, Ohio under cover to me John McLean

Dear Sir,
I have annexed the proper certificate to the enclosed application of McDonough for a pension. From the character this man retains in his neighbourhood for veracity, & extorting no doubt, that he has stated his revolutionary services as correctly, as his memory would enable him. He and his wife are extremely inferior, and are supported by charity. If his name cannot be found on the rolls, must this man be excluded from the benefit of the pension law? I do not much like the policy of the law, but its benefits ought to be received, by all who are necessitous, and who have performed the necessary terms of service.
I am aware that rules of evidence must be adapted in applications under the above law, and I doubt not, that very many will participate of its benefits, who are not entitled, although the utmost degree of vigilance be exercised, in examining their claims. But there may be cases, which justify a departure from established rules. Believing that McDonough, under the law, is entitled to a pension, I am induced to trouble you with this line, under the hope, that you will place him upon the pension list, though his name may not be found on the rolls of the revolutionary army. The old man has failed exceedingly in his memory as to particular facts, though his general recollection is sufficient, to enable him to state with tolerable accuracy, events generally, with which he was acquainted in early life.
The enclosed memorandum of

of Mr Mansard will descend to papers, which, I presume states more particularly, the services of the applicant, than he has stated them in his affidavit enclosed. Those papers are in the War Office.
Most sincerely yours
John Sullivan
