On this 10 th day of February 1819 before me David Lloyd Jr President of the second Judicial Circuit of the State of Indiana personally came Samuel Pendock aged fifty four years who being by me first duly sworn, for the purpose of obtaining the benefit of an act of Congress making provision for certain persons, who served in the land and naval service of the United States in the revolutionary war against the common enemy, upon his oath, saith, that in the year one thousand seven hundred and eighty two, he enlisted in the company of Captain Thomas Hughes of the Rhode Island Regiment during the war, having previously been enlisted by one Captain Bowen who did not belong to the regular service at the time, for three years who brought him to Colonel Olney the Colonel of the Rhode Island Regiment to be mustered into the service, that he (Col. Olney) objected to him in consequence of his youth unless he would agree to enlist during the war, to which he consented and was mustered in the company of Capt. Thomas Hughes in which company he served during the war having served in the whole about two years and five months. That he was at the siege of Little York when Cornwallis was captured that he was discharged at East Hartford on the Connecticut River, that having sold his discharge with the bounty of land to which he supposed himself entitled, that he gave his assignee a power of attorney to gether with his discharge in order to enable

him to obtain the said land. That this is the only testimony he has, that he is in reduced circumstances and stands in need of the assistance of his country for support.
