Philadelphia August 31. 1839.
Dear Sir -
The with subscriber is pastor of the Central Presbyterian Church in this city. Shepard Kolloch Esq r lately deceased, formerly of Elizabeth Town N.J. was my father-in-law. He was a pensioner of the United States, on the N. Jersey pension list, & received $400 per annum. I have his certificate, dated August 11 th 1832, & signed by yourself, in my possession. He died at my house on the 28 th day of July last (1839). He has left a widow, who resides with me, aged 54. She has been helpless for nearly two years, from a broken hip bone. The object of my writing is, at her request, if the law allows it, to get her put on the pension list in her husband's place. I enclose the papers, supposed to be necessary, containing the proof of his death; that she survives & is his widow; & that they were married to each other. If any other evidence of his death at the time mentioned above is necessary, I can procure as many witnesses as may be required. Besides it has been published in many papers, in different places. I send enclosed an obituary, cut from the Presbyterian, a weekly religious paper published in this city, which obituary first appeared in the Newark Daily Advertiser of July 30 th  last . If any other evidence that his widow named Susan Kolloch survives him, is needed as many witnesses

as may be required will be produced. In addition to the record of the marriage, in the family Bible, I have sent my own affidavit that I have known them as living together as man & wife for 34 years. As many affidavits of this kind as may be needed can be procured from the most respectable people. And in addition to these I send the affidavit of Nathan Elmer, a respectable aged man of N. Jersey, who testifies that he said them married by his father. Rev. Jonathan Elmer. If Sir, anything more is wanting; or anything is not in due force of law, please apprise me by letter, and it shall be attended to. If she is continued on the pension list, it would be an accommodation to have the pension made payable in this city in- stead of Trenton where Mrs. Hollack received it - Respects to Mrs. Edwards, with whom I had the pleasure of an acquaintance, when she was Miss Allison -
Yours with much respect -

Borough of Elizabeth } State of New Jersey }
Personally appeared before me Aaron Woodruff, one of the Aldermen of said Borough, John McDowell of said Borough, who being duly sworn deposeth & saith -
That he is son-in-law to Shepard Kolloch Esq r of the Borough of Elizabeth, & pastor of the 1 st Presbyterian Church in said Borough. That he knows for years past that Mr Kolloch, endeav- oured to sell his house & lot at private sale - That failing to effect this at the price at which he then offered it, - he finally advertised it in the newspaper of the town to be sold at publick Auction. This was near two years since - The vendue was held & the property was bid up to only $2,500 - Mr Kolloch ad- journed the sale. After he had made for months exertions, to sell the property at private sale for a sum near its value - He again advertised it in the newspaper of the town - This deponent learning that Mr Kolloch was obliged to sell to meet incumbrances on the property; & that if he did not the Sheriff would, proposed to Mr Kolloch, that in order to make it bring more, he would bid on the property, until it reached the sum of $3000 - and that in case it should be struck off at his bid, for that sum or less, he would take it provided Mr Kolloch's five sons &

Sons in-law who reside at the South, would become joint purchasers with him - To this proposition Mr. Hollock acceded - The vendue was held, & the property was finally struck off at the bid of this deponent for $2,050 - This deponent immediately wrote to Mr. Hollock's children at the South & informed them of what he had done - They approved & agreed to unite with him in the purchase - This was in April last - This deponent anxious not to be burdened with the property, gave Mr. Hollock liberty to sell it at private sale for as much more as he could get for it - Mr. Hollock for months made efforts to sell it to better advantage - This deponent also did the same; and ever repeatedly offered it for the price at which it was struck off to him - And among others he offered it to the Hon. Saul Swan, now in Congress, whom he found had a second mortgage on the property - No purchaser could be found - In the mean while Isaac H. Williamson then Governor of the State, who held the first mortgage, & who had obtained judgment, was pressing this deponent for an answer whether he would take the property & pay the debts, & stating in case he did not the sheriff must sell - Eventually this deponent induced four gentlemen of the Town, viz. Elijah Kellogg, John J. Bryant, Reuben Budden, & James Lord to unite with him, & his five associates in the Southern States, & take the property at the price at which it was sold at vendue viz. $2050 -

This was done in the last of last November, & the debts on the property were assumed by the ten associates Dec r 1. 1829 - The purchase money has all been paid - and the associates have received a deed from Mr Kolloch & his wife, made to Elijah Kelloff & John J. Bryant in trust for the ten associates, named in the deed - The money has been appropriated as follows - viz.
  To Isaac H. Williamson Esq r Principal & interest on his bond & mortgage - -  $1442.67    To Hon Saml. Swan Principal & interest on his bond & mortgage - -  1241.03    To the Sheriff of Essex County for costs in  in regard to the bond of S. H. Williamson; & also in a suit of Mer- vin Hale with S. Kolloch  90.00    To John J. Chetwood Esq r for drawing & taking acknowledgement of the deed from S. Kolloch & wife to the purchasers  5.50     $2700.00    Leaving a balance due Mr Kolloch  $69.12  
The above sum of $2700.00 with the consent of Mr Kolloch, was paid directly to the creditors - Of the balance $50 was paid to Mr Kolloch to lessen a note in the bank, on for about $200, on which this deponent was endorsed to obtain its renewal - The remaining balance of $19.12 was paid this week  yesterday directly to Mr Kolloch, on a final settlement with him by this deponent & J. J. Bryant as a committee for the purpose appointed by the associates, & his receipt in full taken by said committee - This deponent would

further add, that the property has been sold for under its original cost; owing to the great depreciation of property in the Town; but that he knows that every exertion has been made to sell it for more; & that Mr Kholloch was obliged to sell it, and further he fully believes from his acquaintance with Mrs Kholloch's affairs, that he is worth nothing - He knows that he is now dependent for the support of himself & aged wife entirely on his children, - except what little he receives for acknowledging deeds and other trifling sums occasionally as a judge of the Court of common pleas -

Dayton, May 12, 1880.
Dear Sir,
Dear Sir,
My expectations of getting something from government to relieve me in my present embarrassed circumstances, I see by the bill is bluffed. I have come into the world, and risked I shall leave it. All my property, both real and personal is in the hands of the Sheriff, and at my solicitation, he has suspended the sale until the result of the proceedings of her group were known; and now my all must come under the hammer, and be sacrificed, and I turned out upon the charity of friends; a mortifying circumstance for one who had made such sacrifices and bore the brunt and heat of the conflict, while those who, more practically speaking, I mean the moneyed men, did nothing during the term of their service for the public good. Now, Sir, I have only one alternative left, that is to request your endeavors to get me placed on the pension list from the time I was struck off. Perhaps it would be advisable to consult with my esteemed friend, Judge Southwick on the subject; you both know me so well as to be satisfied that I would not make a false statement of my circumstances. To enable you to press my claim, I will state to you some information

Staten which, perhaps, you are not acquainted with. At the commencement of the revolutionary war I was settled in Bapschurch, in the Island of St Christopher's in the West Indies, doing business with flattering prospects of opulence and ease; but on the first news of hostilities having commenced, the love of country so preponderated in my breast, that I made a sacrifice of every thing, and came back to this country, and in 1876 entered the service in the Continental army as a first Lieut. and continued in the same during the campaigns of '76 '77 and '78. Since is a peculiar hard case. I never received any disbursement money, nor any bond, nor any remuneration for the service of the above years, but the general monthly pay. If this small boon is denied me, I will dismiss most in the waters of Lethes , and forget the gratitude of my country. A few days, perhaps, will terminate my mortal existence, being now in my 76 th year of age.
I remain,
with due respect,
Yours, &c.

State of New Jersey, Essex County s.s. On this fifth day of January in the term of January in the year of our Lord One thousand eight hundred and thirty. Personally appeared in open Court of Common Pleas of the County of Essex in the State of New Jersey, the same being a Court of Record of the said County Sheppard Hollock, resident in the said County aged about Seventy eight years, who being first duly sworn according to law, doth on his oath make the following declaration, in order to obtain the provision made in the acts of Congress of the eighteenth of March 1818 and the first of May 1820. That he the said Sheppard Hollock served as a Lieutenant of Infantry for a part of the year 1776 in the Company commanded by Capt. Thomas, in the Regiment commanded by Col. Hemplow in the Pennsylvania line on the Continental Establishment that he continued to serve in the said Corps until December 30 th 1776, when he was transferred to the Artillery Company of Capt.

That his name has been placed on the Pension List and dropped therefrom on account of his property.
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 by gift, sale or in any manner disposed of any 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 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. That since the exhibition of my first Schedule the following changes have been made in my property. That my trade or occupation is a Printer but I have not followed the business for the last ten years, and from the infirmity of age am unable to resume it. I have no person in my family residing with me except a wife named Susan and aged about seventy five years.
That the following is my first Schedule of property. To wit:

Shepard Kollock

The difference arising between my first and second schedule is accounted for as follows. The articles of personal property contained in my first and not in my second schedule have been sold, and the proceeds appropriated to pay my small debts, that were pressing and the necessary support of my family. My Real Estate was under Judgment Execution and Mortgage to the estate of Matthias Williamson decd & Jedediah Swan, to enable me to get a better price I sold it private sale for Twenty eight hundred Fifty Dollars as appears by a copy of the Deed. The account of Incumbrance will appear from the affidavits of the late Governor Williamson, and the Honorable Samuel Swan, I am justly indebted in a larger sum than the Balance.

Sir:
I herewith enclose to you the deposition of Shepard Kollock Esq. of Elizabeth town, to enable him again to be placed on the pension list. His name was sometime since stricken off, in consequence of his account of property at that time being greater than entitled him to the mode of relief.
This obstacle is now removed. I am authorized by Mr. K. to refer you to the Attorney General (Mr. Bevan) for satisfactory assurances of the excellent character & merits of this revolutionary worthy.
May I ask the favor of a line on the result of Mr. K.'s application.

You will receive enclosed the letter of Judge Holloch which I mentioned to you yesterday evening, under the hope that the joint application of the members in Congress of New Jersey, may induce the Secretary of War to restore Mr. Holloch to the pension roll, and I can add my own testimony that when his debts are paid he will not have any property left. as I fully believe
I have the honor to be with the highest respect
yours very truly
