Pennsylvania Tioga County ss Personally appeared before me Ira Philburn one of the Judges in and for the County Nathaniel Pearlee Moody, who upon his solemn oath declares and says that he was a soldier in the revolutionary service of the United States four years - first listed at Auburn port in Massachusetts for one year, and after having completed the term of service returned home, and in February one thousand seven hundred and seventy seven enlisted again for three years in Amos Cogswell's company - Colonel Wesson's regiment and Gen. Larnard's brigade - was at the siege in the fort Stanwicks at the time of its siege - at the battle at Stillwater 19 th Sept 1777 - again on the 17 th of Oct same place and year, also in the battle at Monmouth 28 th of June 1778 - also at the storming and taking storming point - and after having served out the full term of three years was honorably discharged from the service - which appears by the discharge yet in existence

Nathaniel P. Moody
swore to and subscribed the above in my presence, who appears to be in good circumstances and such a man as Congress designed to reward
Ira Philburn A. J.

The within named deponent further declares and says under oath that he is poor and needy and in want of the assistance of his country for his support, of which I have no doubt - he is certainly old poor and unable to labor much and has a wife and young child to support - he claims a pension under the act of March 18 th 1818. - Enclose his discharge which I trust will make his claim clear

Sir Being advised that in case of deferred claims for pensions, application must be made at the Department at Washington, enclose the papers in the case of Catharine Ives late Catharine Woodley for arrears of nine six months pension. Other papers in this case were forwarded to Phila- delphia some two months since and were returned for insufficiency accom- panying them forwarded to Phila a was the Original pension Certificate which was retained by Mr. Ellis the per- son in whose name the power of atty is executed
Mr. Ellis informed in his com- munication that the Pension Books show payment in this case up to 4 th Sept 1832 This must be a mistake or the papers for the last draft were forged or misdated - for

The pensioner died 3 rd Aug. 1832 and consequently could not have been privy to the making of the papers 4 th Sept 1832. The widow now Mrs. Fries says the bal. due is from 4 th March 32 to 3 rd Aug. The day of his decease & her statement is corroborated by the statements of her then neighbors in Shippensburg it be otherwise I would wish to be advised of the particulars - as there must have been foul play some where in regard to the writings. The day of the decease of the pensioner I am sure is right as fixed in the enclosed by the witnesses - His death was inserted at the time in the newspaper in this place which I then conducted.
Should the papers be found correct - Please forward them to Philadelphia with an order to pay to theatty ordered who will attach the original Certificate - (it being now in his possession)

As the Agent in the City had some doubt whether the signature of Mr. Lee, the new husband of the late wid- ow should not stand act also be to the power of attorney (it was omitted in the first paper) it has been ad- joined to these.
Respectfully Yours O. B. Gilchrist
