I do solemnly swear that I do not receive a pension from any state in the union. That I served ten years and three months in the united states army and received from my General nothing but praises, that I was disbanded in the year 1801 or two together with the Corp's to which I belonged and that I lived two years in Philadelphia doing nothing that I lived twelve years on a farm one mile from Lancaster and five years on the farm I now live on eight miles from Lancaster. That the mode by which I obtained my living now and is farming that for upwards of twenty five years I have not been able to work at anything that required me to stop. That for the last six years I have not been able to put a nail on the fence or to lift fifty weight without pain in the extreme That my reason for not applying for a pension seems to have ignorance of the law not knowing that there was a law enacted while General Harrison informed me five years since that I was entitled to a pension in other words was that the knowledge of a wound a cross the small of back might be injurious the chance of a useful life. My reasons are satisfactory I am content - that I am of the opinion that the wound across my loins has made me a more complete cripple than is beath my legs had been broken -

that I do further swear that I am not able to get a livelihood by manual labour that I have been five years applying village intermit and insufficient doth appear to be  forever the sight

Military District,
(Date.) Jan 28/82
IT IS HEREBY CERTIFIED, That James Layton a Captain in the company of under the command of Major W. W. Hahn in the Regiment of the United States Army is rendered incapable of performing the duty of a soldier, by reason of wounds or other injuries inflicted while he was actually in the service aforesaid and in the line of his duty, viz:
By satisfactory evidence and accurate examination, it appears that on the Thirtieth day of June — in the year 1794 being engaged in an engagement with the Indians at or near a place called Fort Recovery in the Northwest- district, or territory, of the United States he received a wound in his back, which passes through the region of the lumbar Vertebra, injuring the spinal processes, which in our opinion is the cause of him suffering so much pain & stiffness in his back which he complains of — from which and he is thereby not only incapacitated for Military Duty, but, in the opinion of the undersigned, is totally disabled from obtaining his subsistence by manual labor.
M. C. Cann Surgeon, of the Pat. Mitchell Regiment of U. S. Hospital Surgeon.
N. B. The blank in the last line but one is to be filled up with the proportional "degree" of disability; — for example: — "three-fourths" — "one-half" — "one-third," &c. &c. or, "totally," as the case may be.

Dear Sir:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request further information in regard to your ancestor, Captain James Taylor, of Muskingum County, Ohio.
This office has no further information in regard to this officer than was incorporated in the report to you on March 24, 1937.

BA-J/ILL James Taylor O.W.I.F. 26436
Dear Sir:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War record of Captain James Taylor, a pensioner of Muskingum County, Ohio, in 1841, also, the Revolutionary War record of Rawleigh Taylor of that same county.
The Captain James Taylor cited by you was pensioned on account of disability resulting from injury incurred in service during the Northwestern Indian War and not for service in the Revolutionary War. There is no claim for pension on file based upon service in the Revolutionary War of a Rawleigh Taylor. The record of Captain James Taylor follows, as found in pension claim, O.W.I.F. 26436.
James Taylor served as Captain of United States dragoons under Major McMahon under General Wayne in the Northwestern Indian War, was wounded June 30, 1794, at Fort Recovery by a rifle ball in the lumbar vertebrae; he continued in service until his corps was disbanded in 1802, he having served ten years and three months.
After his service, he lived two years in Philadelphia.
August 2, 1823, Captain James Taylor applied for pension on account of disability resulting from the above noted wound; he resided then on a farm about eight miles from Zanesville, Muskingum County, Ohio, where he had lived five years, previous to which he had lived twelve years on a farm one mile from Zanesville. His claim for pension was allowed. There are no data regarding the family of this officer. He died March 23, 1843.
Very truly yours,
A. D. HILLER, Executive Assistant to the Administrator.

Miss Mary Jackson,

Weston, W. Va.
Madam:
In reply to your letter of the sixth instant, you are advised that from the papers in the pension claim, Invalid File No. 26,436, it appears that Captain James Taylor of the United States Cavalry, while serving under the command of Major McMahon, in General Wayne's North Western Army, was wounded at the action at Fort Recovery on June 30, 1794, by a rifle ball in the lumbar vertebrae. He left the army when his corps was disbanded in 1802, after having served ten years and three months. After this he lived in Philadelphia for two years.
He was pensioned on account of disability resulting from said wound, upon a certificate which issued August 28, 1823, at which time he was living on a farm in Muskingum County, Ohio, about eight miles from Zanesville. He died March 23, 1843.
There is no data on file as to his family and no further details as to his service nor is stated that he served in the War of the Revolution. Very respectfully,
Commissioner.
