On this twenty fifth day of April in the year one thousand eight hundred and fifty four, personally appeared before the County Court of the County of Chenango being a Court of record, at a County Court held at Preston in said County of Chenango, Louhamah McCall a resident of said Preston in the said County of Chenango, aged ninety two years, who being first duly sworn according to law, doth on her oath make the following declaration, in order to obtain the benefit of the provisions made by the Act of Congress passed July 7 th 1838, entitled, an "Act granting half pay and pensions to certain widows," and the several acts amending, or in addition to the same, that she is the widow of John McCall, and who served as a private in Col. Heman Swift's 1 st Connecticut Regiment from May 19, 1777, to July 9, 1780, and who served as a corporal in said Regiment from July 10, 1780, to December 31, 1781. She further declares that she was married to the said John McCall on the twenty first day of June in the year one thousand seven hundred and eighty six, that her husband the aforesaid John McCall died on the ninth day of September in the year eighteen hundred and twent three that she was not married to him prior to his leaving the service, but the marriage took place previous to the first of January seventeen hundred and ninety four, viz. at the time above stated. She further declares that she was married as aforesaid in the town of nowwide Preston Sacally in the State of Connecticut that her husband resided at that time in the town of Bozrah in said State of Connecticut,

and that afterwards this deponent and her husband resided in the town of Bozrah and subsequently in Lebanon in said State of Connecticut. That during the Revolution and up to and subsequent to said marriage, the said John McCall was known by the name of John Call, and that she never knew of his being called or known by any other name than John Call until after their marriage. That she knows of no record of their marriage. That more than ten years ago one of her sons desired and requested Henry R. Mygatt of Oxford in said County of Chenango, to make application for a pension for her, and that said application has been delayed by reason of the inability to find witnesses at this late day who were with said John McCall in service.
Sworn to and subscribed on the day and year above written, in open court before me and I
certify that on conversation with the said Louhamah McCall I find her to be of sound mind, memory, and understanding, and that I have been for many years past well acquainted with her sons James McCall of Preston aforesaid, and Dyer McCall and Elijah B. McCall of Oxford aforesaid, and that they are credible and respectable men.

Sir
In May 1854 I presented at the pension office the application of Lornhamah McBall for a pension under the act of July 7th 1838. The letter of Mr Waldo the then commissioner of pensions to me writes by mistake the name of the applicant Lornhamah McBall. It should be Lornhamah McBall.
The commissioner says that the applicant's husband always wrote his name McBall. On reference to the papers filed it will appear that in writing the names of his children, he writes his name Ball, John M Ball, and John Mc Ball.
When married he was known generally by the name of Ball and so when he entered the service, and that afterwards he assumed the name McBall.
The records from the Comptroller's office shows that John Ball rendered important service and no one can doubt on reading the proof that this applicant's husband was that John Ball. The identity is as well proved as any fact can often be proved after so great a lapse of time.
The respectability of the family will appear by the affidavit of the Hon John Tracy with the application.
I send additional affidavits herewith

1st Iabez P. Packard aged 91. He testifies that he was well acquainted with David M c Call, and he was always called John Call and has frequently heard him converse about his service in Swifts Regiment,
2d Iabez Fitch identifies the parties
3d Orinel Johnson knew the applicants husband as Corporal John Call and heard him converse about his service in the Revolution
The affidavits are verified before John W Houghton Notary Public, He informs me that there is on file in your office a certificate of his appointment properly authenticated, as required by the rules of your office
This claim has been neglected by reason of the poverty of the applicant. She is now past 90 years of age and I trust that she may in her great age ask ask of you a patient examination of her application
Very Respectfully yours
