St Vernon Ky. 12 th July 1857,
Dear Sir
Some time a go I wrote to your predecessor in office for information as to the evidence lacking in the applications of Ezekial Patrick of Clay County Kentucky for a pension in the Revolutionary war and for bounty land for services rendered in the war of 1812. But have received no answer. Will you be so kind as to let me know what is lacking in Mr. Patrick's applications. The old man is old & needy & unless he gets something shortly, he will not need it in this world.
Most Respectfully yours &c

For a few days ago when in the County of Clay Ky. at the request of many good Citizens I went to see old Ezekiel Patrick a Revolutionary Soldier now 110 years old. I found him about thirty miles from any town or good settlement in the mountains. living in a small cabin house with a widowed daughter in a very destitute condition indeed. He informed me that he had served about three years in the Rev- olutionary war, in General Rutherford's divi- sion and a part of the time under Captain James Jones in Bladen County N.C. and a part of his time in Guilford County N.C. he served 3 six months terms and one 18 months term a portion of the time under Capt John Lucas & Lieut. Ferguson, his service was [blank] of the war [blank] me that he had [blank] for a pension about

21 years ago, and for same cause or other it was suspended. he does not know what. Will you be so kind as to inform me what is still further necessary to be done in his case, and the cause of its suspension.
He also informs me that he made an application for bounty land under the act of 1850. for services in the war of 1812. and that application was also sus- pended. I write to enquire what is further necessary to be done to obtain the old soldier a bounty land warrant.
If there is a living man on the face of the earth that ought to have anything done for him by the government it is most certainly Ezekial Patrick. The old man has not long for this world. he will trouble mankind but little longer. will therefore be so kind as to give me the necessary steps to take to complete his case.
Most Respectfully yours &

Wattkins 70 S Deposition E. Patrick's services on the Revolution

I Thomas Mathis a Revolutionary soldier - I take an oath, that he was engaged as a soldier in the Revolution in North Carolina that he knew well in the service Ezekiel Patrick now of Perry County Kentucky, in the service of the American Army in North Carolina. I do not know when Ezekiel Patrick entered the service, as I believe he was in the service some time before I was, but I know he served over two years but about this period not be positive, I all ways and believed he served even longer than that period. Ezekiel Patrick is a man that is a notorious one in his appear- -ance, and when in the army he was called one of the Hooten men in the Regiment to which he belonged, and was as well ac- -quainted with as any man in the army he was a faithful soldier and great confidence was placed in him. I know him long after the war. I know of several men now living that knew Ezekiel

Question Do you or not know that Ezekiel Patrick got wounded in the war -
am I do not certainly no it myself. but always understood he got wounded at Wilmington. with a cut - cap by a British soldier - all I know is from report - has been by reason of the heat Do you know how long Ezekiel Patrick served.
From the best recollections I either saw or knew from good authority, of his service upwards of two years. but if I am to give my belief, he served still longer than that. he served in Irwin's Company & he was called both ways Irwin and Irwin - I saw him at Flatville North Carolina, and several times during the rebel  war once before. This all I know remember. upon the subject and further my deponent saith not.
