On this 27 th Day of June
In the Year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and thirty three Personally appeared before the Honourable, the Judges, of the Court of Common Pleas, of said County and State aforesaid, John Morrow , a resident of Worthington Township in the County of Richland and State of Ohio Aged Seventy eight Years, on the seventeenth day of June (cont. 3133) Who being first duly sworn according to Law, doth on his oath make the following declaration, In order to obtain the benefit of the provisions made by the act of Congress, passed June 7 th 1832. That he enlisted in the Army of the United States in the Year seven hundred and sixty six, with Capt. William Guttry , and served in said Capt. Guttry's company nine months it being the Period in which I enlisted for the said company as not under the command of any Colonel nor attached to a regiment or Battalion, In said Capt. Guttry's Company which I belonged, one of the Sargents belonging to the said Company was the names of Hay , he was the orderly Sargent the names of other officers belonging to said company I have forgotten at said time of enlistment I enlisted for the period of nine months, I entered in the winter of the Year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and seventy six At Hannah's Town in West Moreland County and State of Pennsylvania We staid in said Town until we got a number of men enlisted from thence said Capt. Guttry marched us as a company to the Susquehannities River which was twenty Miles South from where I entered We as a company were taken there to guard the frontiers of West Moreland County, in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and for the purpose of keeping off the Savage Indians We staid on the borders of said frontiers until our time of enlistment expired. We marched from said Town where I enlisted in the month of March (1776) In said frontiers and was dismissed in the Albany for part of the time following said enlistment while our company was running and guarding said frontier Country the Indians came in to what was called the neighborhood of Torchel Creek in new Albany County Penn Likewise passed through the neighborhood called Honamawack and Likewise passed through Lopinco Valley while some Penns

Said Company of said Capt. Gullers , was marched from the said frontier Settlement Back to the Town of Hannah . It being the place where we marched from and where I first enlisted - I received a written discharge from the Capt. of our Company at said place as aforesaid. Then went home I lived in Hempfield Township in said county it was a bout 4 miles from town where I enlisted - and staid at home for some time and in the Year one thousand Seven hundred and Seventy seven. I again enlisted with one Capt. Samuel Miller . It being the 2 d time of my enlistment the name of My 1 st Lieut. was Matthew Jack , I am not certain but I believe My second Lieut. was the name of Stone . the name of our orderly Serjeant was the same of Abraham Piatt - he took sick and died in said company. thence one John Gullery was our orderly serjeant and Andrew Brookshanks likewise a serjeant in said company.
Capt Miller's company of which I was a Soldier in said Revolution war and in the Continental service - was attached to Coln. McCoy's Coy. 2 d Regiment. It was the Eighth Regiment of the Pennsylvania Line - Coln. McCoy commanded the Regiment for some time think six months after we were attached to it - from thence one Coln. Broadhead who went by the name of Broadhead took command of said Regiment until he discharged us at Pittsburgh - The Adjutant was the name of Crawford . The period of enlistment at that time it being the 2 d time I had enlisted in the Revolutionary War was for the term of three years unless sooner discharged. I enlisted with and under the command of the said Samuel Miller at Pittsburgh Penn in the Spring of the year
A 1777 - however I am not positive as to the year I am however certain that not with standing My memory has in some respects failed in consequence of the length of time yet I am certain that My service in said Miller's Company and in said Regiment was the last two years before the Regiment was discharged at Pittsburgh - from the time of My enlistment last mentioned our company was commanded by Capt. Miller until he received a furlough to go home from the Camp - to West Moreland County where he was killed by the Indians - Thence We was commanded by one John Clark who was the captain of said company until we were discharged. The same Capt. John Clark was a Coln. in the Year A 1781. and fought in the Battle at Guilford's Defeat . I recollect the names of some Capt's of other Companies.

We then came Back to Fort Pitt. from thence we marched to what was called
Sugarcreek near the mouth of Big Sandy (now in Ohio) and built a Fort Laurens at said place and while we were in said fort - and said Regiment which I belonged to.

Dear Sir:— At the instance of General Cameron, I searched the Records in this , and the Auditor General's Office for evidence of the service of John Monroe as soldier of the Revolution, but was unable to discover any thing in relation to him. I have no doubt from what you state that he states what is true, for the names of the Officers as given by him are correct. The roll containing his name, however, is lost.
A few days ago Gov. Shunk handed me a letter from you having relation to the same subject, and embracing a man of the name of George Watty. I cannot after the most careful search discover any evidence of his service. There are but few of the Rolls in this or the Auditor General's Office, & we can seldom furnish any evidence of the services of soldiers of the Revolution. I wrote to you on or about the 10 th of June relative to Mr. Monroe's case. I presumed you did not receive the letter.
With great respect I am &c

Sir I hand you the declaration of Mr. Monroe of Ohio made in 1833. Why it was returned from the Office, as it appears to have been done I do not know. I read it by yesterday's mail. As from a hasty glance over it, comparing his statements with the historical facts of that day, there is not a doubt left on my mind of the falsehood of his claim. No one can read his declaration in connection with the extracts I give below from the Journals of the Ohio Congress, and have a doubt remaining.
Sept. 15. 1776. It was ordered that a Commission of Capt. Thos. be given to Samuel Miller , as one of the James Guthery , of Westmoreland Co. Pa. who had formerly been appointed.
Matthew Heck was at the same time commissioned. He was from Westmoreland Co.
Eneas McCoy was elected Col. & Geo. Wilson Lt. Col. in the Battalion ordered to be raised for the defense of the Western frontier, July 21. 1776.
Col. Broaddus was commissioned Nov. 17. 1777. taking date from 29 Sept.
Genl. McIntosh was appointed M. Genl. Sept. 16. 1776.
Mr. Doyle a Capt. of a company of 3 years men. appointed July 16. 76. Lieut. Saml. Brady commissioned in said Co. Sept. 4. 1776. At the above Office, served for a long time at, near Pittsburg Pa.

Jan. 6 77. Express sent to Major Col. McKays Battalion to march to Philad a to join Gen l Washington . Then (at New Jersey)
March 25 77 ordered that the new Battalion, raised @ raising West of the Allegheny Mountains join Gen l Washington with all expedition
With the names and services of the officers here named, are the leading events of the day Mr. Morrison, seems quite familiar. I know of what he could only have obtained by having been himself in the army at the time
Hope that Mr. Morrison so long kept back may now be taken up
Ever Respectful

Pennsylvania) who after being duly sworn, accord- ing to law, doth, on his oath, make the following additional declaration, in order to obtain the benefit of the provision made by the act of Con- gress passed the 7 th of June A.D. 1832, that he, the said John Morrow entered the service of the United States, during the American Revolution, under the following officers, and served as herein stated: That he enlisted at Hannahstown, Hempfield town- ship, Westmoreland county, State of Pennsylvania on the 17 th day of June A.D. 1776 under captain Miller, of the 8 th regiment; lieutenant Matthew Jack- orderly sergeant John Guthrie Burnside = colonel M c Hoy- adjutant Crawford and Major McCullough, for three years. Andrew Brookshank, also acted as orderly: John Burnside was a private: the other companies, belonging to said regiment, were com- manded by capt. Clark, (who succeeded capt Miller: said Miller, left the army on a furlough and went home to visit his family and friends; they  and left home, with eight of his neighbors, to assist a relative, some short distance from his house to harvest, and all were massacred by the indians.) = capt. Van Swearingen = capt. Carson. / captain Carson, caused some dissatisfaction among his men, leading to mutiny, after we joined the Main Army, was arrested, confined in the guard

house, made his escape from the guard and returned home, and shortly after joined the notorious and infamous Simon Girty) Captain David Kilgore, whose lieutenant was named Mr. Gary.. Colonel McKoy, died in the hospital of the Camp fever, and then Colonel Broadhead took command of our regiment. Lieutenant Jack had his left hand  arm blown off, by the bursting of a gun  cannon - a private named Teagard had his left arm, below his elbow blown off - also his right arm off and his left eye out , by the bursting of a gun  cannon - John McConnell and another man, both of our company (Millers) deserted; but were apprehended, returned to camp and punished - James Burnside, a drummer, in the Virginia line, while stationed at Pittsburgh, frequently visited our quarters to see his brother John - in 1789, Colonel Broadhead meditated an expedition against Detroit - Marched from Pittsburgh to Tuscarawas and built a fort, and called it "fort Laurence" but abandoned it, and returned to Pittsburgh with his command - from thence our regiment took a tour up the Allegheny river, to the Indian towns, which we destroyed together with their wigwams and corn, which we burnt - we then marched back to Pittsburgh where deponent was discharged - his discharge was dated 2 1780 and signed by Col Broadhead - deponent had his house burnt while he lived in Butler county, Pennsylvania together with his discharge and other papers. -
That by reason of old age, and consequent loss of memory he cannot relate the many incidents that transpired during the period of more than three years, that he was in the service of the U. States during the war of the Revolution - that he has no documentary evidence of his services, his discharge had

ving been destroyed, by fire, in Butler county State of Pennsylvania, as before detailed; and that he does not know any person by whom he can procure his services. — That after he enlisted he was marched to Pittsburgh: from thence to Kittanning, in Armstrong county, State of Pennsylvania, and was stationed there for some months, when an order came, said to be from governor Mifflin for our troops to repair to and join the Main army We took up the line of March according ly and pas- sed through a broken country, between Hannako- town and Loyalhanna, until we struck the Old Pennsylvania road, passing through Stoy- town, Bedford, Carlisle, & to the Susquehanna river, which we crossed at Harris' ferry, and from thence to the army. — we marched towards Brandywine, where, on the 11 th of September 1777. we had a battle at Chad's ford — there we met the British army — the fighting commenced on our right wing and soon extended to the left wing; the Penn- troops were commanded by gen. Wayne — gen.

and our army retired to White Marsh: and on the 10 th of December 1777, we commenced moving through the Snow Storm, leaving our bloody tracks in the Snow to the Valley Forge, and took up Winter quarters we remained at Valley Forge from Dec. 1777 to the 18 th of June 1778 = At the battle of Brandywine deponent was wounded in his left thigh = Many men belonging to his regiment died with the Camp Fever, together with our  his captain colonel McCoy. = That while our men were employed in building fort "Lawrence" on the waters of his creek was, William Gibson, a private sol- dier, of my company, wandered into the woods and was killed by some Indians.
