I there joined the company again and we march- ed to Fort Lee and went into the Fort. Genl Washington commanded at that place. We remained about eight days in the Fort; when we abandoned the fort. Our company together with a company commanded by Capt Evans from Elk

Our Town were sent up Hackensack Creek to destroy the Bridge on the creek so as to prevent the march of the enemy. We performed that duty and then marched on to join the main army under Genl Washington and came up with the army at Brunswick-N Jersey. From Brunswick we went to the Delaware river and crossed it a little above Trenton. From thence we were marched to Philadelphia and our time of service having expired we were dismissed and returned home. We volunteered for the period of six months and served during that period of time. Our company formed a part of what was called "the flying Camp". We were dismissed from this tour of service sometime in the month of December 1776. I returned home to Cecil County immediately after I was dismissed.
I remained at home at this time three days. I then volunteered to serve in a company of militia or Volunteers at Little Britain in Lancaster County Pennsylvania - commanded by Capt Campbell. We marched from Lancaster County to the Delaware river and crossed the river at Bordentown and from thence marched up the river to Trenton. This was a few days after Genl Washington had surprised and taken the Hessians at Trenton. The American army had possession of Trenton at this time. While we were there a scouting party of our army went out and had a fight with some British troops who were lying at a small town called Maidenhead. The British troops followed our troops back to Trenton. We had a skirmish with the British. We were posted on one side of Trenton Creek and the British on the other side. The same night of the cannonade at Trenton we were marched to Princeton and the next morning near sunrise we had a Battle with the Enemy at Princeton. The fight commenced a little out of the Town, the enemy retreated into the town and took possession

of the college. Our troops fired at the college and after the first fire the British came out and surrendered. We took two hundred and sixty four prisoners to the best of my recollection. Genl Mercer was killed in this Battle. After the battle I was marched to Morristown (N.J.) where we remained till our time had expired and we were discharged at Morristown. Major Kirkpatrick of the Virginia Line was wounded at the Battle of Princeton. He was my cousin and I was well acquainted with him. I served three months on this tour and was dismissed in February or March 1777 and then returned home.
On the night of our march from Trenton to Princeton we went through a cedar swamp; there was a bridge through the swamp. In going over the Bridge one of the hind wheels of an ammunition waggon ran off the Bridge and fell on the ice. Myself and another man went on to the ice to prise up the wheel. The ice broke my feet got wet and became frozen. I could not get to a fire until a day or two after and suffered very severely by the frost; so much so that I still can lame in my feet on the same account.
He hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension or annuity except the present and declares his name is not on the pension roll of the agency in any State.
He has no documentary evidence and knows of no person by whom he can prove his services in the revolution.

Hon J. C. Whiting Com. of Pensions &c, Sir I wish to make Enquiry in regard to Pension claim of the Heirs of David Pollock deceased. Said David Pollock left a widow Ann Pollock, both now deceased. Polly & Caroline children of Said David & Ann Pollock. have drawn Pension from March 4th 1848. up to December about the 18th 1850. Now I wish to know if Said David Pollock was not out in the Service a longer time than what he stated in his application. He stated after his application was made that he was out two or three times which he had forgotten to give in to Again if Said David Pollock became crippled in his feet by having them froze in the Army so that he never got over it would not the heirs be entit- to the claim of Pension on that account. Also also to what further time he served (if on the rolls) in the Army. Please answer immediately. McReyn June 6th 1857. Yours truly 22 d 1857. D. M. Morse

I send you two affidavits and also the Pittsburgh Christian Advocate containing the death of Ann Pollock &c, please to refer to said paper. You stated that an administrator must be appointed, and the amount of his official Bonds &c. The administration I understand you to mean on the Estate of Ann Pollock. Now as the whole Estate is settled according to the Will and testament of David Pollock deceased, and as Ann his wife had no property to administer upon here as by said Will of David will appear, Letters of Administration have not been taken on the Estate of Ann Pollock deceased, now the heirs do not wish to make any unnecessary expense for themselves, they would wish to enquire if the appointment of an administrator cannot be deferred until the Pension is Granted, and when Granted send me word, the amount Granted, and then an administrator will be appointed with double the Bonds of the amount of Pension Granted

You will see by the copy of said will who the Executors are, and by reference to the Pension Papers of said David Pollack whether they (the Administrators) did not draw what was due David Pollack deceased up to his death &c. Please send to me as soon as you reach this case.

Hon. S. P. Waldo Comr. of Pensions, Dear Sir I wish for a little light in regard to a Case of a Claim for Pension. The Case is this David Pollock Served in the Revolutionary War, and Recd a pension up to his death of 1841. And left a widow, his Widow deceased in 1850, But did not draw the Pension which she was Entitled to. now will the department accept of testimony and Grant the Pension to the Children such as the following. Good proof that they the said David Pollock, and Ann Pollock lived together over forty years in this County as man and wife, that the said Ann Pollock was left by will and testament his property, and considered his lawful wife, and that they the said David and Ann were to all intents and purposes as man and wife now if the facts can be Established as stated above will it be Sufficient proof of Marriage? or must the department have an eye witness, or Recorded Evidence of their marriage, There is no living witness, nor yet any Record of Marriage all the heirs of course can claim is what the widow might have drawn had she applied. I do not wish to put the department to any Great trouble over this Case, and by an answer to the above it may put the matter in a proper shape so that it will be dis- posed of to the satisfaction of all concerned,
Please answer immediately,

Re David Pollack and Ann Pollack were married in Maryland or in the East of this State and lived quite a no. of years together before they moved to this country There are some witnesses now living who knew them before and after marriage, and recall the time that they were married but did not see them married. Will all such testimony put together be received as good and sufficient proof or will the department contend for greater evidence,
