State of New York } Orange County } ss. Henry Lozier of the town of New- burgh in Orange County aforesaid being duly sworn deposes and says that he regularly enlisted in the Army of the United States, and served therein in the revolutionary war for five years after he so enlisted; that he was placed on the pension list of the United States for such services, pursuant to the act of Congress of 1818, and received from the United States the sum of one hundred and eleven dollars, of such pension which was the just and only money he so received. That soon after the receipt of said money he purchased a small house some acre of land to serve as a home for himself and his wife. That he agreed to give therefor the sum of two hundred dollars, and at the time he took the deed therefor he paid as a part of said purchase money the sum of one hundred dollars, which money was a part of what he so received for his said pension. I gave his bond for the residue of said purchase money, & also a mortgage of the said lot of land to secure the payment of his said bond. & This deponent says that the only source from which he calculated to raise, or receive money to pay off his said bond was from his said pension. That when he made out his second inven- tory, of his property pursuant to an act afterwards passed by Congress relative to Revo- lutionary pensions, he owed on the said place so purchased by him the said sum of one hun- dred dollars. That he has been informed that his name has been dropped from the pension list on account of his owning the said house & lot. And this deponent further says that he not receiving any more of his pension money, as he had expected he would, he found himself totally unable to pay

any money on the said bond & mortgage so given - by him; and that John J. Underhill, to whom he had given the same, refused to wait for his money, and advertised the said house & lot and sold the same, under a power contained in the said mortgage; that said sale took place in the fall of the year eighteen hundred & twenty one & the said house & lot were purchased by the Reverend Mr Wright, who permitted this deponent to occupy the same free of rent until the spring of the present year when this deponent gave the possession thereof up to him & has since been obliged to hire a house for himself and wife to live in. And this deponent further says that he is about sixty four years of age and is so infirm from being at times afflicted with the rheumatism that he cannot support himself by his labor; that his wife is also so much afflicted at times with the rheu- matism that she is unable of herself to attend to the domestic concerns; and this deponent says that he is poor & in indigent circumstan- ces and stands in need of the assistance of his country to support him. & this deponent further says that he enlisted in the said Army in the year 1777 during the war and served therein until he was discharged, at Danbury in Con- necticut, when the army was disbanded in the year 1783, that he enlisted in the horse and continued in the same corps till discharged - And this deponent further says that the following schedule is a true statement of his property viz one Cow worth about eleven dollars. one bed & bedding. a few Carpenter's tools worth about

four dollars & fifty cents: one table, five chairs. Six knives & forks, a few dishes & plates; a tea pot & a few tea cups & saucers, one brot. one kettle, one chest, one dresser, wearing apparel for self and wife, & a few other small articles about the house of very little value.

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR,
BUREAU OF PENSIONS,
WASHINGTON, D. C., December 16, 1898.
Sir:
Referring to your request for information relative to a grant of land supposed to have been allowed to one Henry Lossar for his services in the Revolutionary war, you are advised that none of the country land records of that war as far as are in existence and in the possession of this Bureau have been carefully examined and his name has not been found therein. This is by no means conclusive evidence, however, that he was not awarded a grant of land, inasmuch as the papers and nearly all the records pertaining to land warrants issued by the Government prior to 1800 were destroyed by the burning of the War Department buildings in last year.
Many of the states, also, granted land to their Revolutionary soldiers and it is possible that the land which Lossar is supposed to have received in satisfaction of his services may have been given to him by the state to which he was accredited, which may have been either New Jersey or New York. For information on this subject it is suggested that application be made to the Adjutant Generals of the states named.
Very respectfully,
Perry Allen, Esq., Washington, D.C.
Commissioner.
