State of Pennsylvania Mifflin County } P
On this twenty third day of November Eighteen Hundred and thirty two personally appeared in Open Court before the Judges of the Court of Common Pleas of said County, now sitting Phillips Hegar a resident of East Huntingdon Township in the County of Mifflin aforesaid and State of Pennsylvania aged seventy six years of age who being duly sworn according to law doth on his oath make the following Declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the provisions made by an Act of Congress passed June 7 th 1832 -
That he volunteered in the Service of the United States in the year 1775 and served in the Second Virginia Regiment under the following named Officers -
This Declarant, when he volunteered was in Frederick County Virginia, there entered the Company commanded by Capt. Morgan Alexander, Lieutenant George Damp, Second Lieutenant Marcus Calhoun and Ensign John Holder sometime in February in the year 1775. Then marched to Yorktown in Virginia where he remained stationed until sometime in February 1776 when he was discharged being all that time under the General Command of Major Spotswood -
This Declarant was during the year 1775 at Yorktown employed in watching the Bay, and keeping the British from Landing who frequently came up the Bay in small vessels to plunder. On one Occasion this Declarant with fifteen others all under the command of Capt. Alexander succeeded in taking twenty five British privates, one Lieutenant and two Ensigns prisoners, who had landed at the Bay in a small Schooner which they abandoned possession of - This Declarant says that they took the prisoners to York from which place he believes they were taken to Williamsburg -
This Declarant immediately after his discharge at Yorktown

returned to Frederick County in Virginia where he enlisted into the service of the United States which was sometime in February in the year 1776 again into the company of Morgan's Riflemen and was marched to Baltimore with the Second Virginia Regiment commanded by Colonel Spotswood who was advanced from the rank of Major. This Declarant the day after his arrival at Baltimore was selected out of the Regiment with an hundred others under the command of Capt. Taylor and sent to the Bricks of Elk to assist the Whigs against the Tories, where we remained a few weeks, then returned by the way of Annapolis to Baltimore - from which place he went to Philadelphia with the 2 d Virginia Regiment then encamped in the Barracks till the month of October in the year 1776 when Colonel Spotswood marched the most of us to New Jersey where we joined General Greene's Division who being unable to cope with the British forces retreated still from before them until we were near Philadelphia when I took the Small Pox and received a furlough for sixty days -
This Declarant then accompanied his cousin Daniel Regan (who was advanced from an Ensign to a Lieutenant) and was on a recruiting Expedition to Pittsburgh where this Declarant had an Uncle living - We reached Pittsburgh sometime in the Spring of the year 1777 where Colonel Gibson Capt. Heath and Lieutenant Regan detained me with my own consent in what was called the Independent Company and sent another man in my place with a great number of other recruits to Headquarters at Philadelphia -
In Pittsburgh with the company to which I belonged commanded by Captain Henry Heath there were three others, the Captains of which were Harrison, Oliver, & Sullivan all under the command of Colonel Gibson and were then engaged in repairing the fort there as well as in scouting against the Indians until the fall of the year in 1777 when we left Pittsburgh for Machenbach and there was building a fort and occasionally scouting and going expeditions to Pittsburgh until the commencement of McIntosh's Campaign or the Saguah Campaign as it was frequently called which was sometime in February of the year 1778 - In this Campaign we crossed the Big Beaver but was

with to drop its Head today to a town called Cuyhoga which was the object of the Expedition, but destroyed a number of other Indian Towns, killed and took some prisoners then returned to Pittsburgh which was some time in March of the year 1779 -
This Declarant remained in Pittsburgh under the command of Captain Heath until some time in the fall of the year 1779 when he received a written discharge under the signature of Captain Heath and General McIntosh which discharge I sent by Captain Price to Richmond Virginia sometime after the Revolutionary War who never brought the discharge but obtained for me something like twenty Dollars.
This Declarant often wrote and sent to Richmond for the said discharge but never could obtain it. Therefore has not in his possession any Documentary Evidence of his service which was altogether five years and for which he claims a pension -
This Declarant knows only two persons living who can testify to my service when at Pittsburgh one of whom lives near Jacksonville in Westmoreland Pennsylvania and served in the same company with this Declarant for the term of three years by the name of Jacob Byerly. The other lives in Armstrong County Pennsylvania by the name of Samuel Murphy who this Declarant believes was a member of Harrison's Company -
Old age and the consequent loss of memory is great that this Declarant cannot set forth the particulars of his service more fully -
I hereby relinquish every claim whatever to a pension or an annuity except the present and declare that my name is not on the pension Roll of any agency in any state -
The following answers were given made by this Declarant to the questions propounded by the Court as prescribed by the War Department -
1 In Bedford County Virginia - In the year 1756

2. I have not, nor ever had but have seen one as kept by father -
3. 1st born In Frederick County Virginia. Have lived since my discharge in Westmoreland County + Pennsylvania and now live there -

Dear Sir,
I am writing you for a little information, which I hope you will be able to give me without much trouble.
I have before me a pension record of Philip Reagan my Great Great Grand- father, it states that on the pension list under Act of Congress, passed the

18 th  show need day of March 1818. The name of Philip Reagan appears as having served as a private in the Virginia Militia for which service he was allowed a pension of $80 00 annually. The name of the said Philip Reagan was first placed on the list March 4, 1831 at which time he was 78 yrs. of age. Philip Reagan received in all the sum of $240 00 . The Philip Reagan herein referred to referred to was my Great Great Grandfather and lived until 1859. My father was born in his house in Pennantown Pa. Westmoreland Co. and was a year old when this man died at a very ripe old age. What I would like to know is, viz. Why should he only draw $140 00 in all, when he lived until 1859, I have searched all my books through and have been unable to learn anything about the pension system at that time. I received this Pension Record from the State Librarian at Richmond Va. I would like to have you verify this record if it is a reasonable request, if not tell me what you can. Yours Resp. Chas. S. Reagan. City Recorder. #1. Washington Iowa.
